Jays Swept Away by Rays, Losing Streak Hits Four
5/6/202629 min
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-0 shutout loss vs. the Rays as the losing streak hits four in a row. They take your calls and texts, and discuss the lifeless at-bats for most of the game - how do they turn this around? They get into the start for Patrick Corbin, the struggles of Davis Schneider, what Ernie Clement is as a player and where he's best suited to play, and the imminent return of Addison Barger - could that help some of the offensive struggles?

Yeah. But, uh, well, the one thing that stands out to me is, is not getting a good pitch to hit. We consistently saw that in big spots, right? We saw it in the first inning with Vlady, the one-one changeup down and away. That's a pitcher's pitch. You can't drive that. Even if you go to two strikes, so what? You're a good enough hitter to fight and claw to, to maybe get a hanging spinner, maybe a changeup up just to, to be able to stay in the big part of the field. The next batter, and, and Sosa swung at the 0-1 curveball that was down, down. That's a pitcher's pitch. Even if it's a strike.
