Bullpens and Penning Books with Erik Swanson & Joe Kelly

Blair & Barker

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the Blue Jays’ 7-0 win over the Chicago White Sox; particularly José Berríos’ strong start and Danny Jansen’s big game at the plate. Former White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham provides his thoughts on the series so far and what the Blue Jays can expect from Michael Kopech in the finale (26:21). Blue Jays pitcher Erik Swanson talks about his routine, role in the bullpen, and facing his former team this weekend when the Mariners come to town (49:42). White Sox pitcher and author of A Damn Near Perfect Game: Reclaiming America’s Past Time, Joe Kelly discusses why he chose to write a book while still playing, if Rob Manfred is the right person to be the commissioner of MLB, and interacting with Blue Jays’ fans in the new bullpens at Rogers Centre (01:15:48).
