Mad Max Crushed Early, Jays Lose Opener vs. Guardians

Sho Alli and Daniele Franceschi break down the Blue Jays' 8-6 loss vs. the Guardians in the series opener. They take your calls and texts, and get right to Max Scherzer allowing seven earned runs over 2.1 IP - should he have been pulled sooner to give the waking bats a chance? What is his role going forward if he can't be a member of the starting rotation with Trey Yesavage and José Berríos on their way back, and has even Patrick Corbin earned a role over him? Plus, they debate the year Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is having when it comes to power expectations, discuss a long solo bomb from Kazuma Okamoto, and check in on Nathan Lukes who departed early with an injury.
