Ross is wayyyyy too intuitive for you pea brains. He's got this. 

[keggy]

They need to get Fisher some experience in save situations in the minors before he's eligible to come back. Just saying.

This is on atkins… once again. Needed more at deadline

Yes, you need to hedge your bets as much as possible at the deadline and we barely did anything. Biggest failure of this front office is they never do enough 

[Omar]

Maybe give Dominguez a shot at closing.  Perhaps he steps up and surprises everyone.  He has the velo and stuff just doesn't have the control.

No. It's not bad luck.  He's throwing up trash.

The two homeruns were hit hard on the edge of the zone. Some bad luck there. His fastball generally though looks very 'hittable' .

That should be the end of Hoffman in the closer role for 2025. Just give it up already 

Technically it wasn't a blown save 😉

[JaysAllMighty]

Hoffman was playing darts

[Buster]

The broadcaster and toronto media are such pussies.  I know they're all  just corporate hacks owned by Rogers, but still.

I still remember Shapiro going on record in 2016 saying that if he was still with Cleveland he wouldn't have traded for Miller. Lol That guy got them into the WS.

Go ahead and just make sure we have absolutely no chance to come back Hoffman.

they have given him more than enough chances and he blew them away

Who is our closer than?

Let's see what Tommy Nance can do. He's the only reliever that hasn't been absolutely horrendous this month. I'd also consider bringing Yesavage up right now to pitch some high leverage relief innings. All options need to be on the table.

[Ziggy Halladay]

This is Atkins fault. We have zero arms in the bullpen like Milwaukee. Every guy they put on the mound is lethal. Priester is a solid sinker slider type. Those guys always give us problems. 
 

our only solid bullpen arm rn is Dominguez. We sent fish down for roster reasons. Now it looks like our bullpen is our undoing again. Two in a row vs the top team in the league.  Rodriguez looks like he’s lost the zone. 
 

springer repeating his production next year is unlikely. Bo may leave. 
 

as I write this Hoffman serves up a double. 
 

this is comical. A tight series until our BP shows how far from contending we are. We can’t hang in these games. The playoffs if we make them will be a real kick in the groin. Close games are going to be death.  
 

Milwaukee looks like a legit team. We spend three times as much and look like the pretenders vs them. 
 

Bednar and Doval would have been huge. Sigh. September is going to be rough as both Boston and NY pass us. 

quick question to the group. Would we have had anything to math the Garret crochet package?

Tommy Pham 4 - 2 Red Sox 

[Masterbather]

Remember the 2021 team. One of the best teams we ever had. 

Remember what the failing of that team was? 

That's right folks, the same front office left us with a f***ass bullpen.

[jaysthebest]

If I see one more time John Schneider defends Hoffman....

You’re right, edge of zone which is why it’s confusing why he’s given up so many HRs but continuing to put him out there in same position and expecting different results is just madness. It gets shouted down until all of a sudden it’s undeniable but by that point it’s too late.

For some reason, the Yanks keep beating bad teams, so...

[Angrioter]

Dominguez, Varland, Little, Hoffman and Yariel is a good group of relievers. 

It's a matter of taking responsibility away from those who aren't doing well at a given moment. Right now, Hoffman

We somehow got the front office guys who know dick all about pitching development from CLEVELAND. One of the best pitching development organizations. And then gave them way more money than most blue jays gms have ever got for zero pitching in ten years. 

Its not difficult. Hire from tampa. LA did it. Milwaukee did it. The guy who put in all the processes that paid off in Boston is from Tampa. He will do the same in St Louis. 

They have been given so much rope for barely acceptable return given the payroll. There is just so much captive media in Canada, barely anyone points out how much they suck. 

[Ziggy Halladay]

I think Hoffman needs to keep pitching inside. Living on the corners with his velocity isn’t fooling anyone.   Inside and high help his slider down. Who cares if his hits some guys. 

[G-Snarls]

OMFG Hoffman 

[neverbeenhere]

who is still defending Vlad and thinks he is a great player?

Once or twice fine, but he can’t be having “bad luck” every single time he pitches. Thats BS. Somethings is off with his stuff this year.

[Jesusindashed]

Vlad isn’t a franchise player at least not so far 

[Ziggy Halladay]

How many strike outs has their bullpen used to shut us down this game?
