[neverbeenhere]

oh my

[hanton]

crazy, Little has thrown alot of pitches in 1 inning

[Jays24]

So when Schneider needs to make a pitching change, he doesnt do crap.  Little's struggling and gonna get close to 40 pitches in the inning...

[Masterbather]

Thank you Vladdy

[neverbeenhere]

Schneider left this one too long

[hanton]

38 pitches, he won't ptch for a while

[bones]

Give little rest of the weekend off, guys a stud but he got worked big time there 

[Jays24]

Way to battle Little... hope you didnt die longterm from this outing. 

[Jays24]

Now we just gotta hope Hoffman doesnt walk the leadoff hitter and we're good. 

[jaysblue]

Hoff Time! 

[Omar]

The good guys hang on to Win.  Gausman on the bump tomorrow.  Let's Go Jays!

[Jays24]

Indeed. Easy peasy. Win the series tomorrow.

[Orgfiller]

Fastball was electric for Hoffman tonight.

[Jays24]

This team being down 3-0 would have meant gameover in the past... not sure who these guys are lol

And only 1 splitter thrown. That's more like it

This team is on fire boys

We threw a AAAA pitcher and a KBO reject and still beat the breaks off of a playoff hopeful who had their ace on the mound

Hoffman got away with it thankfully as the one splitter was a middle middle 89 MPH with minimal drop.

This is largely what the team has been doing with the bat over the last 5 weeks.

This offense has another gear available once Vlad gets into a power groove and Santander hits his stride.

The Buffalo Boys arriving onto the big league stage is a complete game changer

The mileage will vary between them all but Barger, Lukes and Clement becoming ~3 WAR players improves the lineup dramatically

The team finally seems to have perfected the formula towards the internal offensive improvement they've been chasing since so many of the hitters underperformed in the 2023 season. I think the Popkins hire was a key factor in the internal successes, including Kirk and Springer rediscovering their form, Bo largely returning to the good version of himself (this probably would have happened regardless of the hitting coach), Barger's sudden emergence as a massive threat, Lukes proving that 2024 wasn't a fluke, Clement going on a heater at the plate etc. Even Davis Schneider appears as though he may have rediscovered his form at the plate as well.
