@JohnnyGiunta_ Jays have a month to figure it out otherwise its a fire sale at the trade deadline and they can put jays fans like myself out of our misery
@JohnnyGiunta_ I understand using Hoffman in the 9th since he’s been pitching well “recently”, using Varland in the 8th to face the 2-3-4 hitter is logical i guess
But Schneider should have gave Hoffman the hook earlier when Cowser doubled and it was 5-3. Maybe it would have ended differently
@JohnnyGiunta_ At some point - you just gotta walk Ohtani and take your chances with Betts and Freeman
Just playing with fire pitching to Ohtani, he is on a heater
@JohnnyGiunta_ Not sure who Schneider goes to moving forward in this series
Do you go with Fluharty again? Ohtani has had multiple looks at him….The light are too bright for Little
My guess is Lauer prob gets the next big spot against Ohtani
@JohnnyGiunta_ Hoffman got a 1-2-3 inning in the 8th in game 4 against Arozarena, Raleigh, and Julio
Why wouldnt you put him out there again in the same spot when he had a clean inning the night before? Makes no sense to bring in Little
@KeeganMatheson Hoffman got a 1-2-3 inning against the heart of the Seattle’s lineup up 6 in the 8th of a must win game 4
Yes, lets get away from a winning formula and give Seattle a diff look by putting in Little who has a 6.00+ era in his 21 appearances
Makes sense to me
@JohnnyGiunta_ Schneider doing what he does best - always mismanaging games.
Brings in Hoffman up 6 yesterday in the 8th in a must win against Seattle’s best hitters.
Up 1 in a crucial game 5 - he doesnt go with Hoffman?!?!? SMH
What is he thinking?
@KeeganMatheson John Schneider keeps doing John Schneider things.
One step forward…two steps back
He just cant help himself - he always tries to be the smartest guy in the room.
“trust your guys” he said SMH
@JohnnyGiunta_ Holy Fuck John Schneider is a moron lol jesus christ why have a short leash on Gausman.
Jays have to overcome these bone headed decisions
@KeeganMatheson At some point, you cant just be sacrificing these games by putting trust into a guy that is so volatile and unpredictable.
JS better not spin this as a one time thing where he keeps going back to him in late inning situations.
Hoffman cant be trusted in the playoffs
@JohnnyGiunta_ Hoffman cant pitch in late inning situations for the Jays in the playoffs.
He is so VOLATILE and UNPREDICTABLE
When he is on - he is on
When he is off - he is unuseable
@JohnnyGiunta_ That loss is on Hoffman and Schneider
John should have either given Hoffman the quick hook before the 3 run HR or left Seranthony in
These decisions decide games in the playoffs. I just dont have confidence in Hoffman to close out a playoff game in the 9th
