Nice play Lukes! 😎

[HomeRunHomer]

Not sure he got the tag down.

[neverbeenhere]

Another way to get a DP

[neverbeenhere]

Let's walk it off

[Spanky99]

A walkoff would be just great.

[HomeRunHomer]

Need to walk this off.  We already used most of the pen.

[Spanky99]

So Santander's hitting in the DH spot for the pitcher, makes sense.

[Spanky99]

Daulton, the man, the Legend.

[Spanky99]

Hah... they walked him?

[neverbeenhere]

Big win in front of big home crowd

[HomeRunHomer]

Walking a hurting Santander who is swinging an ice cold bat is a choice.

 

And Clement gets a hit.  Blue Jays win!

[Spanky99]

Way to go Ernie... ya beautiful man... great W. 

[neverbeenhere]

I love this game

[Omar]

Ernie you sweet bastard

 

[neverbeenhere]

Yanks lost

[Jonn]

That’s a big hit for Ernie. Jays needed this. Bullpen was so good.

Buck said they want to challenge Clement to win it

[glory]

Yeah that was a reputation walk. They were probably better off pitching to Tony given how bad he’s been. Good piece of hitting by Clement.

Frustrating game in general, but very typical 2023-25 game for this team. At least they got the W.

[Spanky99]

Meh, I thought the game was great. Ernie stepped up bigly!

[G-Snarls]

Nice!!!!!!!!

[Laika]

Pitching gameplan and execution were incredible. Good job, John Schneider. 

Walking the hurt and struggling .187 hitter to pitch to the .261 hitter that puts everything in play, when a single loses the game for you, was a dumb tactic.

I don't know. Hinch went by Santander's track record and thought let's pitch to Clement.  He hasn't been watching Jays game all season to come to a determination that Santander' has been hot garbage for 40 games. If Taters had hit a double off the right center field wall he would be feeling the heat for letting him hit. You can't win in this situation.

Hasn't their pitcher allowed like a 1.100 OPS  against left-handed hitters this year? 

Probably had more to do with it.

They didn’t want to test a movable object versus a stoppable force.
