Blue Jays Happy Hour - Episode 93: Turtlenecks and Poutine Dogs

Blue Jays Happy Hour

The Blue Jays have finally opened up the new look Rogers Centre, returning to Toronto to begin the home portion of their schedule with a series victory over the Detroit Tigers. There was a big win — thanks to a five-run, eighth inning outburst — in the opener on Tuesday, a thrilling walk-off in extras game two on Wednesday, and a grim slog through a Thursday loss that saw the club go 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

It was a fun and encouraging way to show off the new digs — Chris Bassitt looked better, Matt Chapman continues to be red hot (when healthy), fans' love affair with Kevin Kiermaier continues, poutine dogs were consumed, new bars were explored, turtlenecks were made fun of — but the Jays will need to be better with the undefeated Rays heading in for a weekend set.

In this week's episode we talk about all that, plus bullpen placement, Manoah's start, stunt food, a look ahead, and so much more.
