    DS in against a RHP instead of Loperfido. Online bullying works (or common sense prevailed, whichever you prefer).
  2. glory
    Did you see how happy JS looked running out of the dugout to take Little out? Dude lives for pitching changes.
  3. glory
    Ah didn't see that. The announcers kept harping on Little looking like he's staying in the game so I figured no one was warming. Schneider usually uses Old School 101 baseball logic, so surprised that he may have even considered keeping Little in for 1 batter before bringing Hoffman in. Maybe that was just Shulman spit balling.
  4. glory
    I doubt they have Little start the 9th and then put in Hoffman, so if Little is starting the 9th then he's either finishing it or maybe Dominguez after?
  5. glory
    Fully on board with Gimenez at SS, now and moving forward. Obviously if Bo is healthy then for respect reasons they'll keep him at SS, but if Bo is out, then Gimenez at SS is the way to go. If you're going to pay someone $20M a year with that skill set, then it should be at a premium position, but that's a 2026-beyond issue.
  6. glory
    That's certainly a lineup.

    It's weird after watching Doc all those years to feel like a complete game is a unicorn but that's how the game is now. Gausman was fantastic. If he's back to 2022-23 form then he's your ace.
  8. glory
    Gausman reverting back to ace mode. Love to see it.
  9. glory
    DS won't start another game for at least 5-6 days, but glad he's making the time he does play count.
  10. glory
    Yeah I doubt JS would intentionally bury someone on the bench that the FO actually wants to see play. For some reason they are telling JS to prioritize IKF and others over DS. What that reason is or could be is anyone's guess.

    John Schneider having to write "Davis Schneider" in the lineup card had to be one of the most difficult things he's ever done.

    FG updated their numbers, so here's Hoffman's updated "Since May 1" numbers from above: -1.1 WAR 47.0 IP 5.94 ERA 6.06 FIP 10.91 K/9 3.83 BB/9 14 HR By far the worst WAR of all RPs since May 1, with the 2nd worst being Genesis Cabrera at -0.8. Good company to be in for your closer. With a manager who is better at pen usage (in other words, not the Blue Jays), a committee could work. Ex, Dominguez in games where it's a bunch of RHB, Fisher when it's RHB + LHB, Little when it's LHB, etc. Not the sexiest way to do it, but probably the best way to optimize performance rather than throwing Hoffman out there every other day and hoping the 110 mph missiles he gives up don't clear the fence. Otherwise I agree. Unless the bullpen collectively has the mother of all hot streaks in October, that's going to be the team's downfall. Not only is the pen widely inconsistent, but Schneider goes to them early and often, and that will only intensify in the post season. Have to hope the pen collectively goes bonkers (in a good way) come October. Not impossible by any means.

    I'm curious about this as well. Two of his HR's this season have been against position players, so the numbers are probably skewed on top of the team putting him in what they perceive to be more favorable matchups, but I have no idea why the team seems so hesitant to use him even in late game situations against a LHP. IKF is awful against LHP. Among players with at least 100 PA against LHP this season, he has the 4th worst wRC+ in baseball (41 wRC+ in 111 PA). What analytic could they possibly be looking at to rationalize that decision making (doing it twice in 2 days, no less)? If the team doesn't like having a hitter with a 28-30 K% and a poor hit tool then I'm not sure what DS is even doing on the roster at this point. Loperfido shaved 10% off his K% from last season and he's clearly been working on reducing swing and miss, so maybe that gives him some brownie points with the org. DS just wants to barrel everything and draw walks. That would have worked under AA/Gibby's Jays, but not this team.

    Hoffman since May 1 (probably doesn't factor last night since FG takes a while to update): -0.9 WAR 46.0 IP 5.87 ERA 5.88 FIP 10.96 K/9 3.91 BB/9 13 HR That's not ideal. Maybe it's partly a product of being overworked (Schneider tends to baby starters and abuse relievers), but it's mind boggling at this point that he's still considered the closer/relief ace on the team.
  15. glory
    I mean tonight would have been perfect for Dominguez in the 9th. Caratini and then 3 righties after that, with only Taylor Trammell (not a good hitter) as a LHB on the bench. But gotta use the closer in a tie game in the 9th.
  16. glory
    Fisher would be my choice as well, but Schneider is a minor league manager, and those types absolutely adore veterans. I doubt he's demoting Hoffman's role for a rookie. If Hoffman is taken out of the role it will probably be for Dominguez if anything. I don't know who else Schneider would possibly trust in that spot. Seranthony has "closer experience" and more vetrin presents than everyone else in the pen. That matters (to JS).
  17. glory
    Hoffman sucked all the energy out of the stadium. Man what a buzzkill after that 8th inning.
  18. glory
    15 home runs allowed in 62 innings. That's insane.
  19. glory
    This might be the only time an opposing fan will ever say this, but thank goodness Jason Alexander is out of the game.
  20. glory
    Yeah not much JS can do besides play DS more, which he doesn't seem to want to do. Either for Gimenez or Loperfido. Otherwise this is on the bats. The loss of Bo is definitely felt on the lineup.
  21. glory
    Yeah they need to consider less playing time for Gimenez. It’s possible this season is a wash for him due to injury, but he’s hurting them now with the bat.
  22. glory
    Heineman doing a post game interview without a shirt on while IKF stands there calmly and talks about his Pittsburgh days like he was held hostage with no food and water was the turning point in the season.
  23. glory
    The Astros are only 1 game up on the Mariners and 2.5 on the Rangers. High stakes for both teams. Hopefully Berrios can ugly his way into a quality start. That’s all you can ask for from him at this point.
  24. glory
    IKF and Heineman interviewed post game by Hazel as tonight’s heroes while the Jays maintain the best record in the AL with 18 games to go. Imagine telling someone that in March.
  25. glory
    Wow big time win tonight.
