I had no issue using Varland in that spot. You're only down 3-1 and you hope he can put out the fire. Still a winnable ball game at that point. Jays came back down 3-1 against Seattle in Game 7. 

On the fence about using Hoffman, but tomorrow is an off-day and you need to keep him fresh. Just sucks some of the Dodgers bats got a look at him. 

Yamamoto was just dealing all night. Tip your cap to him.

Yamamoto is incredible 

It's like if Chris Bassitt threw 98

He was dealing.  We have to make some adjustments.  At least in Bo's one AB he crushed in 108 off the bat, so putting him in the starting lineup will probably help!

Glasnow looked wicked in his last start against Milwaukee. The bats have to come alive.

Somehow getting a split feels disappointing.  But we have better odds in a 5 game series despite losing home field and fangraphs has us 37%, slightly better than before game 1 started.

I think if we were playing any other team yes, winning 2 in a row even at home vs the Dodgers might have been asking for much.

[SeranthonySantander]

In regards to glasnow, he’s 1-5 against Toronto 5.79 era but we can disregard that 

We can’t ignore that max scherzer is 1-1 with a walk and 2.00 ops against him lifetime

IKF 1-10 with a single 

Schneider 1-2 with a doubl and a walk 

bichette hasn’t done well against him 2-16 but Vlad is 6-17, springer 6-13 and giminez 2-8 and those last 3 all have homers off him 

clement, barger lukes and varsho no luck all having a handful of at bats

Anyone heading down to Los Angeles for the games?

I'd make the trip if I had an entry level MLB salary.

f*** what a hurler Yamamoto is. Just makes it look so easy. Well deserved win for him tonight. 

You certainly tip your cap to that performance.
