@maddiecholette Smith had 25 Ks in 15 innings against only 2 walks, which is just insane dominance. That’s why he won. Runs were 2 vs 0 in almost the same number of innings so that’s a push.
@SophieShipton_ Smith struck out almost twice as many batters and walked just one batter in roughly the same number of innings. He deserved it. Maybe Louis will win in June.
@BlueJays@MLB Love Varland, but this makes the Jays look a bit Mickey Mouse. Smith had almost twice as many strikeouts and three times as many saves as Louie. He was the best reliever in May and it wasn’t a particularly close race.
Maybe we need Kevin Pillar as Blue Jays hitting coach. So simple but someone in the clubhouse is clearly not saying it… take more pitches. If the opponent knows everyone is chasing the first pitch, it makes their job easy. #BlueJays50#BlueJays
Just talked with several fans in RF who saw what happened.
They described it as an accident. They said a young fan, about 13, saw Sánchez flapping his glove as if to indicate to play catch. The kid then threw the ball late, after Sánchez turned around.
The fan was kicked out.
@herbie_ Last night was significantly worse. This is mediocre pitchers giving up runs. Last night was a guy making $11 million pissing away a huge lead in the 9th inning.
1. I hope they find the fan who hit Sanchez and ban them for life. 2. Part of my brain thinks if that person can throw hard with accuracy from the stands and hit a player, maybe the Jays need to sign them to a minor league deal #BlueJays
@Pop7Jiffy@KAYSCRIMES This. It wasn’t even close to a save situation. Hoffman has clearly gone from “can’t be the closer” to “can’t be trusted to close out a game no matter how big a lead the Jays have.”
@UNCstillgot_it Depth is depth. Might be worth a shot. Plus if the Jays pick up SWR, then the trade (which the Jays already won) becomes Berrios straight up for Martin.
@maddiecholette There’s no justifiable reason for Schneider leaving in Hoffman to give up that fourth run. I get not trusting Seanold, but not a good enough reason
