Meet the New Trop, Same as the Old Trop

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 5-1 loss vs. the Rays in the series opener down at Tropicana Field. They take your calls and texts, and discuss the offence spraying ten hits but only managing to score one run - when will the power come more consistently? They discuss the approach against Nick Martinez and the Rays bullpen, the usage of the Jays bullpen on the other side, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and what he continues to be as a hitter, and Eric Lauer's start of 4.1 IP of three earned runs allowed.
