I had forgotten about that lol He really does seem like a miserable f*** when you hear him speak.

If I'm Dan Wilson, I'm super aggressive with Kirby if he shows any weakness. I force the Jays to have to score runs off of Woo, Munoz, Brash, Bazardo and/or Speier to beat me. I try to ensure the Jays have virtually no path to scoring more than three or four runs, max. For the Jays, they will be extremely reliant on Bieber. They don't have many options they can trust. Maybe Bassitt is a wild card if you need innings but he has pitched so little that I don't know what the faith level is there.

Game 7. What else can you say?

He never misses the dirt in front of the plate though.

It's the least ugly girl at the prom.

His defense is important at this point.

It's okay Varsho, it's only the entire world that knew you were getting nothing but sliders.

I'll take that!

The game isn't close enough.

VLADDY;

We got them bleeding from all these DP's.

Bonkers

Okay can we REALLY not do that again?

Barger has awoken.

Let's not do that again.

Wow

Little is Schneider's lover. There is literally no other explanation. It's the only way it all makes sense.

That's some heel level instigation right there.

I don't remember Seattle whiffing too much on Trey's pitches. He did strike out the side in the first inning despite the runs but only one strike out the rest of the way. A little concerned with them seeing him a second time.

Managers make decisions that people will disagree with all the time, but there's always a baseball logic. I can live with that even if I disagree. This had no baseball logic, every angle you look at this decision says don't do it. His explanation was flat out stupid and pointless. All the numbers said don't bring him in. Anybody that has been watching Little knows this disaster has been coming. Anybody with eyeballs and brain cells can see that Little doesn't know where the hell his pitches are going anymore and hasn't for a long time. He's looked like a deer in the headlights for weeks. We have won in spite of him. With a multi-run buffer it's one thing, but with a one-run buffer with your season potentially put on the brink? This wasn't a warm Sunday in July, it was game 5 of the ALCS where you can't make egregiously stupid decisions because you might not be able to come back from it. This is unlike any decision he's ever made in how egregiously wrong it was at the most inopportune time to make an egregiously stupid decision. This wasn't even close to being justifiable, I can't believe some people are even trying to justify it. It was self-sabotage and we all saw it coming from a mile away. The stakes were too high and if there was ever a single fireable decision, we just saw it unless his team saves his ass.

Funny how nobody can find this data. Funny how Schneider didn't bring up this mysterious data. No, just wanted to give them a different look, and you played right into their strengths and right into Little's weaknesses.

I could have accepted a game tying home run, giving up the lead in and of itself is not the end of the world, but if there was one guy that was most likely to have a disastrous appearance it was the guy who cannot aim his pitches to save his f***ing life.

Good on the Sportsnet crew for calling out the worst managerial decision in Toronto Blue Jays history. It's not about being mad at the loss, everyone knew the moment Brendon Little started warming up a disaster was approaching. This isn't second-guessing, it's not hindsight. A low leverage pitcher was brought into one of the highest leverage situations of the season. Should have been fired yesterday. f***ing disaster of a decision.

What happened to Brendon Little had nothing to do with noise. Completely dishonest thing to say. Anybody with eyes and two brain cells can see what happened with Little, the league stopped swinging at that stupid spike curve two feet in front of home plate (which we all knew would eventually happen). Once they stopped doing that it greatly diminished him as a pitcher and he was one of the worst pitchers in baseball down the stretch. Anybody, literally anybody, was a better option than him. Every single number, every single statistic told Schneider not to bring him in. Worst baseball decision I've ever seen, worse than pulling Blake Snell in the World Series even.

And yet they wouldn't be doing anything close to what they're doing right now without gobs and gobs and gobs of money spent.
