Joe Siddall, former catcher and Blue Jays Studio Analyst, discusses the struggling top of the order, how far pitching and defence can take a major league team, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette's lack of productivity, how Bichette can get back to his best self, how much coaching plays into hitting and judging the Jays record based on how they've played (50:00).
