All the leagues best players are coming up with their teams in the biggest moments. We pray Vlad doesn't hit a ground ball to end an inning and hope he can atleast advance a base runner.
Genuinely feel Nance is a guy they brought up to eat some garbage innings in the middle of the Season. But he just kept putting up zeros. And now he's pitching the 8th inning of a must win game in September. His minor league numbers were not very impressive.
I understand the logic but just don't think the Jays should be thinking that far ahead. Winning the division and whatever it takes should be first and foremost.
I guess if they genuinely feel he will never recapture his stuff or specifically his slider because he never really threw that hard but atleast he threw it for strikes that's fine. But his age combined with his size. And just recovering from a major surgery. I would have atleast liked to have seen him get one more chance. None of those guys I listed had a chance to be a Starter. Manoah if healthy is probably in the Braves rotation next year.
I still don't understand why Manoah needed to DFA'd when you have guys like Justin Bruihl, Lazaro Estrada, Easton Lucas, Adam Macko, Easton Lucas, Robinson Pina, and Dillon Tate who are all dog s*** and nothing occupying roster spaces
