Team Grades with Bob Nightengale + Fielding Details with Mark Budzinski

Description

USA Today MLB reporter Bob Nightengale (2:58) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker following his recently published article giving each team a letter grade after Memorial Day in the US. He shares why the Jays got a D+, what sets the Brewers apart, which middle-of-the-pack teams he sees emerging in the AL, when the Tigers might decide on a Tarik Skubal trade, and Luis Castillo's beef with the Mariners' piggyback pitching plan. Then, after Houston's no-hitter, Jeff and Kevin debate whether a combined no-hitter means the same as an individual no-hitter. Later, Blue Jays first base coach Mark Budzinski stops by (26:33) to discuss Yohendrick Piñango's defensive mistakes in the team's opener against the Marlins, Daulton Varsho's play in centre field, Jesús Sánchez's next steps on defence, and how he and Carlos Febles are adjusting to the new rules for field coaches.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
