  • The Lauer Power Hour Returns, Jays Sweep A's
    Mar 29 2026

    Sho Alli and Jesse Rubinoff break down the Blue Jays' 5-2 win over the Athletics to open the season with a sweep at the Rogers Centre! They take your calls and texts, and get right to Eric Lauer's nine strikeouts over 5.1 IP - if the rotation is truly a meritocracy, could he force John Schneider's hand if he continues his strong start? They discuss the relief pitchers, including 1.2 IP from Braydon Fisher, and a save from Jeff Hoffman - should there be less angst about the bullpen? Plus, Jesús Sánchez and Kazuma Okamoto both clobbered their first Blue Jay home runs today, while George Springer added a solo shot as well - what could the rest of the season hold for Sánchez and Okamoto with their new teams?

    Mar 29 2026

    Sho Alli and Jesse Rubinoff break down the Blue Jays' 8-7 walk-off win over the Athletics down at the Rogers Centre! They take your calls and texts, and get to Dylan Cease notching 12 strikeouts over 5.1 IP - what's the ceiling for Cease as the season continues? They discuss the bullpen, including some bad luck for Mason Fluharty, an uneven outing for Brendon Little, and on the flipside, an electric debut for Spencer Miles. Plus, they get into the offence, including the decision to intentionally walk Daulton Varsho to bring up Ernie Clement in extra innings, Alejandro Kirk blasting a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth, and Andrés Giménez adding four hits as he stays hot to start the year.
