Varland just gives up a metric f*** ton of contact.

he is over used 

[M.E.]

Jays feel the 93 Phillies in this series having to outslug

[Stangstag]

Varland is hot garbage 

[Doubleplay21]

Varland has given up multiple runs in every inning except one.

[dancingmachine]

Make it stop 

[dancingmachine]

Whew 

[glory]

Varland does give up a lot of hard contact, way too much of it. 

[Doubleplay21]

Yankees will murder Varland 

[Omar]

“FRODO:  'It's a pity Atkins didn't DFA IKF when he had the chance.'

GANDALF: 'Pity? It's a pity that stayed Atkins hand. Many that make the roster deserve to be dfa'd. Some that get dfa'd deserve a roster spot. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out DFA in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that IKF has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Ross Atkins may rule the fate of many.'

Frodo: 'I wish John Schneider didn't keep using Little in high leverage.  I wish none of this had happened.'

Gandalf: 'So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides that of John Schneiders bullpen management. IKF was meant to return to the Blue Jays, in which case you were also meant to cheer for him to succeed. And that is an encouraging thought.”

Five years of control though. Ross is just too savvy. 

[jaysthebest]

I'm worried about the series against the Yankees. Their offense will destroy our bullpen.

You might be right,  but baseball has a funny way of defying expectations 

[Doubleplay21]

Schneider will bench Clement for IKF because he was a former Yankee.

[Omar]

Hard to believe Clement has only 5 stolen bases this season.

[HomeRunHomer]

insurance!!

[dancingmachine]

Good job Vlad

I mean even if JS messed up with Nance etc.....come on, this is on Varland

Nobody ever blames the players - it's always the Managers fault.  I think he told Varland to suck c*ck again!

[hanton]

Mr. clutch ?  haha

[G-Snarls]

f*** yes Vladdy

This narrative is such BS.

[dancingmachine]

Bo 0-5 unheard of lately 

[glory]

If Hoffman comes in tonight, then it would be the 6th time this season where he'll throw 4 times in 5 days. Wonder if other teams do this. I don't follow other bullpens close enough to know, but that seems like a lot. 

[neverbeenhere]

Bo needs 8 years $270M

[hanton]

These fans are so dead, wtf?  the fans sitting behind home plate haven't moved a muscle

Most teams would not use their designated closer right now especially after he has pitched that much

yes, TB does it at least as far as I know 

[Doubleplay21]

That extra run may be huge with Hoffman coming in.
