Toronto dropped a 5-4 decision to the Texas Rangers, falling to 39-43 on the season and out of the final Wild Card spot. On game Preview 83 of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog breaks down a frustrating loss where the Blue Jays waited too long to get their offence going against the Rangers. Eovaldi was dominant, throwing seven innings while allowing just five hits, one walk, and striking out nine batters. What has happened to Toronto's approach at the plate? Meanwhile, Patrick Corbin had another tough outing, allowing five earned runs over 4.1 innings. Corbin has struggled for the majority of his Blue Jays tenure and now it begs the question of what should the Blue Jays do with the veteran starter? One of the few bright spots of late has been the Blue Jays bullpen. Spencer Miles, Adam Macko and Louis Varland kept the Blue Jays in the game after Corbin was pulled but the Toronto comeback fell just short, losing 5-4. Then, we also preview Dylan Cease’s start against Cal Quantrill as the Blue Jays look to bounce back and avoid dropping another series.Cease has been one of Toronto’s most consistent starters, while Quantrill enters his second start of the season after mostly working as a bulk reliever.Can the Blue Jays offence finally break out early and help Toronto climb out of this slumpWe finish with Nick's picks presented by bet365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners: bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.
