Ninth Inning Nightmares in Cincinnati
Description
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Blue Jays' 5-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds and another bullpen breakdown in the ninth. They discuss Ryan Borucki's call-up, whether Brendon Little's second-half struggles are correctable, and Bo Bichette's consistency at the plate. Then, they review Max Scherzer's interview on Foul Territory where he opened up on his back injury and Vladdy's untapped potential. Later, Reds broadcaster and former MLB reliever Jeff Brantley (29:11 ) shares his thoughts on the season in Cincinnati, Terry Francona's management style, the difficulty of balancing being competitive vs. fostering player development, and the pressure on the closer during a playoff push.
