Roden soft again. To the minors 

There is like 1 hitter in the minors worthy of coming up right now (Clase). You can't send half the MLB team there lol

Hoff for the win?

He’s the best and only option for this situation.

[Jays24]

What a CLUTCH strikeout lol.  1 more please

[Omar]

Hoffman painting corners at 98 is a thing of beauty.

[Jonn]

THATS WHY YOU PAY FOR f***ING SWING and MISS.

He's throwing 🔥 

[Jonn]

If you can’t put the ball in play nothing bad can happen. The most important thing in a relief pitcher.

[HomeRunHomer]

Let's go!!!

[Big_Walleye]

Wow!!  Unlikely win.

[Omar]

What a game.  Yimi and Hoff combine for three innings of shutout ball to seal the victory!

[Jays24]

I f***ing love Hoffman!!! 

[Jonn]

Jeff Hoffman with the big f*** you Baltimore. 

[JaysAllMighty]

Never in doubt!

[Spanky99]

Winner, winner... Chicken Dinner BItches!

[Orgfiller]

Jeff Hoffman is a stud. Best reliever we’ve had in a while.

[BTS]

Hoffman is incredible 

[Angrioter]

Hoffman hates the O's

 

He's healthy bitches

I said for years that Romano should be a good teams 3rd best reliever.  This is what the best reliever on your team looks like!

Yeah. I would say the best since Osuna.  

[Jonn]

They traded him for Tulo 10 years ago. Now we get the best version of him in 2025. Feels Good Man.

[Daniel Labude]

Now that was a Clutch closer 

[Jays24]

Awesome comeback but please correct your f***ing baserunning.  Little league mistakes should not be happening at this level. 

[glory]

Once again a first place team hitting nothing but singles.

[Angrioter]

Lukes saved the game. He deserved an 2nd chance

Hoffman and Yimi are a premium 1-2 punch at the back end of the pen.

That Bo at bat is the prime example why the Jays aren't hitting home runs. At least he finally got an RBI. But we need to do damage on those pitches. They aren't pitching Vlad cookies, but Bo got a middle middle 96 MPH fastball and does nothing with it. 29 other MLB teams crush that pitch, Jays just foul them off. That has to change

According to fangraphs he is the best clutch hitter on the Jays...so don't let facts interrupt you here

In the past the Shatkins era was punished for not spending money on the Bullpen. Now they are being rewarded for it.

[Omar]

Fun fact:  The O's haven't won a series so far this season.

If that's true then you were dramatically underselling how good a healthy Jordan Romano was. From 2020-2023 he was 14th in MLB in reliever wins above replacement. If you don't like FIP/FWAR he was 8th in ERA, 4th in shutdowns, 2nd in RA9 WAR etc. By basically every available measure Jordan Romano was an elite reliever but low information members of the fanbase were incapable of recognizing this fact. It seems pretty damn unlikely there were a ton of teams out there with 2 relievers better than Jordan Romano during that span of time as there were a lot of teams that didn't have a single reliever better than Jordan Romano.

Their owner's strategy is waiting and hoping for a salary cap
