That ball was annihilated 

Tony Taters' homers always seem like no doubters off the bat

Not sure how to described it but they are very visually appealing lol

[Jonn]

This game is proving to ditch the contact approach and just sell out for power. I don't know why our players have a 2-strike approach in positive counts. 

[Stangstag]

Amazing. Was like 5 minutes from deciding to ditch the dome and head home. 

Now please win this

[saskjayfan]

We just tied the game....Garcia threw 9 pitches and Schneider takes him out...lol

He murders mistake pitches. Once/if he really gets it going he’s going to be fun to watch.

All good, Little is an elite swing and miss guy.

We like our matchups.

And he pitched tonight behind because he hasn't worked much recently. Just odd decisions.

Yeah, and this game might go 11 innings....

[Orgfiller]

Rare defensive miscue from Gimenez, let’s hope it doesn’t come back to haunt him.

That's the polite way of saying incompetent..lol

[saskjayfan]

little reminds me of Cecil

[Orgfiller]

Little is nasty. The knuckle curve is unhittable. He’s his worst enemy on the mound because the stuff is excellent.

[Omar]

Little is a beast.  

[HomeRunHomer]

Little did his job now it's up to the bats to get at least 1 run and then Hoffman can close it out.

[Jonn]

Crazy how the back end of the Bullpen is no longer an issue as well. A little more depth would be nice. But between Little, Garcia, and Hoffman you have a reliable trio.

[HomeRunHomer]

Hoffman is money.

Who was the last Jays reliever that was this fun to watch? BJ Ryan?

[Big_Walleye]

Hang it on Chapman boys!!

Frank Francisco and Sergio Santos

Osuna probably. He was nails his first couple of seasons before he became a POS.

I haven't thought of Santos in many years. Didn't he come with like a 5 year contract that had some options, and we all thought we had a long term elite closer?

[Orgfiller]

Aroldis Chapman is a freak.

[Omar]

At least we will have our smartest baserunner on second to start the bottom of the tenth.

Osuna is only 30 years old.  I'm shocked he was never given another shot by some team.

Based only on his on-field accomplishments, I think he should be in the HoF. Going to be close to 400 saves, ERA in the mid 2s, 1300+ strikeouts despite never starting a game, and just unique dominance that people who watched him will never forget. 

[Orgfiller]

Jeff Hoffman is a delight.

Yeah haha. I only thought of him recently because i discovered he is minor league manager in the Chisox system. There was a video where he told Chase Meidroth he was called up to the bigs. Seems like a great dude

[BTS]

So, if the season ended today Hoffman would be on multiple CY ballots.
