A Catcher's Responsibility with Joe Siddall + Pete Walker's First Impressions

Blair & Barker

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined in-studio by Blue Jays Central analyst Joe Siddall (1:19) to recap Trey Yesavage's MLB debut, how Tyler Heineman approached catching Trey's first game, Jeff Hoffman's pitch sequencing, Andrés Giménez's stint as shortstop while Bo Bichette is on the IL, who would round out as the Jays' three starters in a three-game series, the final roster spots on the pitching end, and José Berríos' slurve. Then, the guys are joined by pitching coach Pete Walker (25:45) to get his take on Trey's first game with the big-league roster, the plan for Yesavage moving forward, Braydon Fisher's control late in the game, and getting Jeff Hoffman's and Berríos' elite pitches back. Finally, Jeff and Kevin react to the news that Bo Bichette will miss the remainder of the regular season.
