Come on Vlad

[Omar]

They're not going to pitch to Vladdy right?

Not sure cheap is the right word but they definitely could have added more. Varland scuffling at the same time hurts. Little has been a walk machine for a while now, Dominguez can lose it just as easiliy as Hoffman.

Yariel seems to be basically be replacement. 

Atkins was too busy coming in his hand over getting all that sweet sweet reliever control. So people online can call him smart. 

[neverbeenhere]

why JS didn't let Varsho play 

[Jays24]

Game was still winnable if our pitching coach and manager were able to assess Hoffman's true abilities more accurately by pulling him when it was obvious he didnt have it.

Wallner has been pretty hot lately as well. And capable of hitting out of the park. Would have rather faced the next guy. 

You should have seen his batting practice on Monday before the game. After his first homer off Scherzer they should have stopped pitching to him, full-stop. Dude is feeling himself this series

I want to believe they’ll learn from this game, but they wont.

[dancingmachine]

Vlad just doesn't have the big hit in him 

[Omar]

What a shame.  

Oh well, our ace Lauer is on the bump tomorrow for the series win.

[Governator]

The armchair managers are in full force tonight

[G-Snarls]

Crap

[Horses Fart]

All the fans standing, as if Vlad was actually gonna  be clutch and do something. 

[GoBlue41]

At least the next series will be easier....... pffffttttt!

[BB17]

You just gotta hope the pen can turn it around. Still a 4 game lead in the division and there are 3 games left with each of the Yankees and Sox. Jays are still in a pretty good spot and you Bieber being healthy is a huge addition.

Situation being the same JS would make the same decisions I think.  What else can he do?

[Doubleplay21]

Nance a journeyman player has become the ace of the bullpen.

Thanks to John Schneider.

If i have to explain it to you im not sure its worth the discussion 

[Jonn]

Brutal loss. You can’t lose to a tanking team a nights both your rivals win.

Yeah we have a full pen full of s*** options right now except maybe for Nance.

But they insist that Schneider make chicken salad out of absolute chicken s***.

We're going have to rely on these guys so they either perform or we're doomed.

[june.june]

both Fluharty and Fisher got demoted when both had shown that they have the mental toughness when the game is on the line

 

Yet Varland the trade deadline acquisition has been a dud and still being ask to pitch in high leverage situations 

 

DFA the idiot

Keyboard managers lol.  

Might as well let Little close games moving forward.  At least he doesn't give up homers.🤔

lmfao... dude had a wRC+ of 147 coming into this game??? Da fuq you on, 1 point lower than the 800 Million dollar man? 🙄

[jmomcc]

I do think the 6 man rotation is a problem right now. Like Fisher would be really helpful to have up.
