Scherzer’s Sticky Situation

Blair & Barker

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker go over the Blue Jays-Astros series finale where Houston prevailed with a 8-1 win. The guys discuss the Jays' inability to score with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, a solid start from José Berríos, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. getting called out on a pitch clock violation. Speaking of violations, the guys react to post-game comments from Mets pitcher Max Scherzer and manager Buck Showalter after Scherzer was ejected by umpire Phil Cuzzi following a foreign substance check against the Dodgers (28:34). Foul Territory co-host & YES Network analyst Todd Frazier shares his thoughts on the Scherzer situation and the umpires’ role in the incident, before discussing Toronto’s next opponent: the New York Yankees (49:33). MLB Insider Jeff Passan comments on the umpires vs. Scherzer, if Mad Max could be suspended, and if the Oakland A’s will be moving to Las Vegas anytime soon (01:19:23).
