“I feel like I owe an apology to Justin Smoak.”

This may be a recurring theme throughout the 2017 season as the Blue Jays’ everyday first baseman continues to surpass expectations and defy convention. Smoak’s stellar first half is the lead topic on this week’s Blue Jay Hunter podcast.

Also featured on this week’s episode, Josh Donaldson continues to do Josh Donaldson things, Grilli and Howell tumble further down the bullpen depth chart, a shout-out to the back end of the Blue Jays bullpen, and a few comments on the Brett Lawrie/ketchup Pringles thing from last week.

Plus, answers to your listener questions. This episode is 30 minutes and 11 seconds long.
