BJN Radio – Ep. 213: Alek Manoah’s great start, John Schneider’s decision with the leadoff spot, and more

Talk about a rollercoaster ride.
The Toronto Blue Jays were dropped in their series opener against the Minnesota Twins on Friday, they responded with a wild come-from-behind victory on Saturday, and then fell right back into their typical woes with a listless loss on Sunday.
We talked about the team wasting another excellent start from Yusei Kikuchi, the Twins having their way with Kevin Gausman, and Alek Manoah putting together his best outing in over a year. We also discussed the decision to put George Springer back into the leadoff spot after the team scored ten runs in the previous game.
Finally, we looked at a report from Bob Nightengale about a potential trade suitor for closer Jordan Romano and ahead to this week’s series against the high-flying Baltimore Orioles.
