Using Varland here is one of the most inexplicable decisions we have seen from Schneider in this postseason.

Thats a bit dramatic. You don't just give up down 3-1 in the 7th inning. 

[Grant77]

The only dumber decision than using Varland is using Hoffman in a game in which we have a very, very small possibility of winning.

[VladdyAlomar]

Dodgers the better team and it's not even close 

[Doc]

Dodgers have 4 aces and we only have a half of one. Gausman isn't missing many bats anymore. Just got to try and win in LA.

It's unquestionably not the correct situation to use your top 2 leverage relievers either.

I don't think anyone expected us to sweep the Dodgers.  Just have to get some games in LA.

Tomorrows an off day, not that big of a deal. It's only a 2 run lead, anything is possible. 

[Alejandro Murphy]

Varland is like living in a house built on Sand.  
 

 

[Angrioter]

Varland suxx

[rydermike]

Oh my God 

[416BlueJs]

That’s game

[Slade]

That hit him

[hanton]

That SUCKS

[Grant77]

What an absolutely f***ing ridiculous use of Jeff Hoffman. Completely indefensible.

Let him face his 3 batters and put in Little or something.

[ComeTogether]

Come on.  No freebies

Should hit him harder then

You think very highly of Varland. Or very little of every other reliever. I agree that Hoffman coming in here is weird. I'm fine with Varland in his situation.

Have to get into that bullpen early

[Jays24]

Wtf was that from Gimenez man...

[Angrioter]

Why is Hoffman facing the Dodgers again? 

 

Last time was a disaster 

[rydermike]

Ugh

STFU already!!

[416BlueJs]

How do you not turn 2 on that

[Stangstag]

Not sure why he didn’t go home there

[Slade]

Well wheels off here. We will get another in LA. 

[ComeTogether]

Dodgers never scored more than 5 since WC game.  Jays needs to score 5 or more to win 

[Jonn]

Giminez wtf are you doing bro

[Masterbather]

They earned this one. Gotta win game 3 I think.

The Blue Jays believe that Varland is their best non-closer reliever, based on the way they have used him this season.

I get why you would argue why that's not the case, but let's just say it is. That was an extremely inappropriate situation in which to use him.
