How Sweep It Is: Blue Jays Undefeated on Opening Weekend

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open this week with thoughts on the Blue Jays’ opening series sweep of the Athletics! They highlight the lineup's productive series without Bo Bichette, the rotation's solid performance, and how John Schneider managed the bullpen. They note positives like high strikeout totals and contributions from new players including Kazuma Okamoto, while also addressing concerns around late-game pitching, particularly Jeff Hoffman’s struggles in closing situations. After the break, they shift to the Maple Leafs’ underwhelming performance against the Blues, discussing Craig Berube’s criticism, expectations for a response, and William Nylander’s role and accountability. They close with reactions to the Golden Knights firing Bruce Cassidy and discuss how the move could impact the team’s playoff outlook.
