37. Stuffed Dragon: Toronto Blue Jays vs San Francisco Giants Game 93 Preview | Flight Deck
22:57||Season 1, Ep. 37The Blue Jays finally got the offense rolling. Toronto bounced back with a convincing 9-3 win over the Giants, snapping out of its offensive funk with contributions from top to bottom in the lineup. On Game 93 Preview of Flight Deck, hosted by Adam Peddle he breaks down what changed at the plate and whether this is finally the offensive breakthrough the Blue Jays have been waiting for. Was it simply one good night, or are the bats beginning to turn a corner? We'll also discuss another impressive outing from Spencer Miles, who continues to make a strong case for a bigger role in Toronto's rotation. Is it time for the Blue Jays to stretch him out as a full-time starter? Plus, we look at standout performances from Jonathan Clase, Sean Keys, and the bullpen trio of Jeff Hoffman, Mason Fluharty, and Louis Varland, who slammed the door. Looking ahead, Dylan Cease takes the mound against Logan Webb in what has all the makings of a pitchers' duel. Can Cease continue his Cy Young-caliber season and help Toronto secure a series victory, or will Webb's dominant June carry over into another strong outing?

36. Spencer Miles' Mound: Toronto Blue Jays vs San Francisco Giants Game 92 Preview | Flight Deck
28:06||Season 1, Ep. 36Toronto was blown out 10-1 by the Giants, falling to 42-49 on the season and slipping further behind in the American League Wild Card race. With the offense continuing to disappear and the trade deadline fast approaching, we'll ask the question every Blue Jays fan is thinking: How concerned should we be? On Game Preview 92 of Flight Deck, hosted by Adam Peddle, he breaks down another frustrating night that featured John Schneider's blunt postgame assessment, Kevin Gausman's continued struggles, and a Blue Jays offense that made one of baseball's weakest lineups look like a contender. We'll also discuss whether Gausman's recent stretch is simply a bump in the road or something more concerning, how much the defensive mistakes are contributing to the team's collapse, and why the lack of hitting continues to be Toronto's biggest problem. Looking ahead, we'll preview tonight's matchup as Spencer Miles gets the ball against Trevor McDonald. Can Miles continue his breakout season, and should the Blue Jays begin stretching him out into a full-time starter as they search for answers in the rotation? Then, Adam talks all the major storylines surrounding the Blue Jays, David Popkin's pregame comments and more!We finish with Adam'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
35. Another Series Lost: Toronto Blue Jays vs San Francisco Giants Game 91 Preview | Flight Deck
27:41||Season 1, Ep. 35The Blue Jays head into San Francisco searching for answers after another frustrating loss in Seattle. On game preview 91 of Flight Deck, hosted by Adam Peddle he breaks down what's become the biggest concern surrounding this team: the offense. Toronto's bats have gone ice cold, the losses continue to pile up, and time is quickly running out before the trade deadline. We'll discuss whether there's still reason to believe this group can get back into the playoff picture, or if the Blue Jays are approaching a point where the front office has to seriously rethink its deadline plans. Adam also looks at another encouraging outing from Trey Yesavage, why he continues to give Toronto quality starts, and what his development means for a rotation that has been searching for consistency. Looking ahead, Kevin Gausman gets the ball against the Giants as he tries to build off his last start, while Landen Roupp looks to rebound from a rough June. Can the Blue Jays finally get the offense going, or will another strong pitching performance go to waste?

34. Rotation Problems: Toronto Blue Jays vs Seattle Mariners Game 90 Preview | Flight Deck
27:07||Season 1, Ep. 34Toronto was blown out 11-0 by the Seattle Mariners, falling to 42-47 on the season and slipping 2.5 games behind the final AL Wild Card spot. After being swept by the Rangers just over a week ago, is that series becoming the turning point that ultimately defines the Blue Jays' season? On game preview 90 of Flight Deck, hosted by Dan Riccio, he breaks down another disappointing loss and ask the biggest question facing this team: Are the Blue Jays still buyers at the trade deadline? We'll discuss Shane Bieber's difficult outing, the growing concerns surrounding Toronto's starting rotation, and whether the Blue Jays have enough reliable arms to realistically compete for a playoff spot. Outside of Dylan Cease, Trey Yesavage, and perhaps Kevin Gausman, who can this team truly trust? Dan also looks at an offense that continues to rank near the bottom of Major League Baseball in every major category. Is this simply a prolonged slump, or are the Blue Jays showing us exactly who they are? Looking ahead, Trey Yesavage gets the ball looking to continue his impressive rookie campaign against Emerson Hancock. Can Yesavage keep Toronto's season alive before a critical stretch leading into the All-Star break? Plus, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. withdraws from the All-Star Game to rest his back, while Ernie Clement, Dylan Cease, and Louis Varland will represent the Blue Jays in Philadelphia. With seven games remaining before the All-Star break, we'll debate what record Toronto needs over that stretch to justify buying at the deadline—or whether it's time to seriously consider selling.

29:20||Season 1, Ep. 33The Blue Jays are starting to build some momentum. After a 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners, Toronto has another opportunity to gain ground in the AL Wild Card race on the back of Shane Bieber, who continues to work his way back into form following his return from injury. On game preview 89 of Flight Deck, hosted by Sierra Pileggi and Nick Alberga, we break down another dominant outing from Dylan Cease, who continues to pitch like one of the best starters in the American League, and discuss whether he's becoming the ace this Blue Jays rotation desperately needed. We'll also dive into Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s night at the plate. While the box score was encouraging, is his approach finally starting to turn a corner, or are there still signs that something isn't quite right? The bullpen continues to be one of Toronto's biggest strengths, with Jeff Hoffman quietly putting together one of the best stretches of his Blue Jays career and Louis Varland remaining a perfect 18-for-18 in save opportunities. How sustainable has this late-inning dominance been? Looking ahead, Shane Bieber takes the mound against Logan Gilbert in a fascinating pitching matchup. We'll discuss what to expect from Bieber in his third start back, why Seattle's piggyback pitching strategy presents a unique challenge, and what the Blue Jays need to do offensively to secure another series win. Plus, all the latest injury updates, roster moves and news from around the league.

With pending free agents like Kevin Gausman, Daulton Varsho, George Springer, and Shane Bieber, what direction should the Blue Jays take? Then we preview today's matchup with Kevin Gausman on the mound as he looks to bounce back from a brutal June where his ERA jumped and his splitter struggled.
