A beacon of positive energy, at least while the Bubli is still here, it's another week of the podcast!Host Ryan Andrews does their best to highlight what they liked from the Blue Jays' series against the White Sox, starting with the mostly good in Aaron Sanchez's outing... aside from that one inning. They also discuss the progression Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has made hitting in the two-spot, and the hope that follows.However, much like Marcus Stroman on Saturday, the slacking offense is just too much. There is no positive energy to be had as a whole and Andrews agrees with Stroman on just how the situation has gotten, and how the Blue Jays not letting him finish as many innings as he can is not conducive to anything good this season.Follow the podcast on Twitter @LockedOnJays and follow the host @NeoAC18!Subscribe on Himalaya, Google Play, Spotify, and iTunes!This episode is sponsored by Jays From the Couch, Himalaya and ZipRecruiter.
