Off to a disappointing start, including a three-game sweep by the White Sox in Chicago, the Blue Jays try to turn it around starting with a rematch of last year's World Series vs. the Dodgers. Mal and Griff discuss on Exit Philosophy the struggles of the offence, including five key position players, while the bullpen has spiralled through nine games largely on the three-game implosion of LH Brendon Little, who was finally demoted to AAA-Buffalo. But it may be the loss to injury of C Alejandro Kirk that is of most concern. Can Tyler Heineman be the starter after two disastrous games that ended in losses at Rate Field. Is it Brandon Valenzuela's turn to take the catching lead? Evaluating Vlad and the contributions of the newcomers plus far more.
