ALCS Game #5 - Toronto at Seattle (Friday, 6:08)

[linery88]

Something seems up here.You put in Little when there are way better choices.WTF Why not Hoffman again who cruised

[PushDaRock]

I literally cannot fathom the choice to bring in Little and Dominguez back-to-back when you absolutely need strikes. Idiotic.

You also need to prevent HRs and those two allowed the fewest of them all year

They then allowed the two biggest of the season

Sometimes your pen just gets exposed for what it is

Don't think exposed is the right word when everyone knows it's not the strongest

[dafan590]

throw away all your baseball analytics now! useless data!!!

[Natural11]

Absolute clown manager has been dogging us all game. Our BP may suck, but any competent manager brings in their best option in that scenario. Little was not it.

[rapstarter]

Still can't believe it.

[Randle McMurphy]

This is the type of move which gets you fired. You have Dominguez and Hoffman and you go with Little. Absolutely ridiculous.

Dominguez wasn’t the choice there either with all those LHBs

It was Chris Bassitt

He’s a major league pitcher.

It’s Fisher but nobody wants to hear that

[WaltFrazier]

And now Springer is gone for game 6 too. It's done.

Watching this game has been a nightmare. Our high hopes were dashed by an injury to one of our best players, and we blew a late lead—all thanks to our clown manager. I feel sick to my stomach right now.

Yeah it doesn't get much worse

[dh_45]

Springers gone for the season . Throw at Raleigh if they get up by a lot next game.

[PushDaRock]

Little can’t throw strikes. No one chases because they know he’s a bum.

So Schneider thinks he’s the perfect choice to pitch to #2, 3 and 4 hitters.

really should have been Hoffman if he actually had confidence in him, you use your closer there for the 6 outs.

They’ve been using Hoffman in 6 run leads

It’s pretty clear what they think of the guy

He still would have been in for the 9th if they had the lead.

Do we have a best option? If so, who was it

[Hottie McShotty]

Think of it this way...

We've done our job. They've done theirs.

Now we have to do our job again and win the remaining two.

Seattle took both of the games we played at home to open this series. It's possible, but unlikely, that we do and if Springer is out, I don't like our chances.

[spykelee]

Only half a dozen **** guys we could have brought in who were better choices then Brendan **** little. **** clown college out here

[WaltFrazier]

Poor Bo looks glum, World Series chance slipping away

[SFour]

winning 3 road games in a row was a reach anyways.....I'll be happy with a game 7

[GameChannel]

Why is he still batting IKF? Why not use Schneider? This manager is an idiot.

[DelAbbot]

This loss is devastating. We had all the momentum and lost Springer too.

This loss is all on you.

Kirby, Castillo, Woo are all ace level SP and better than any pitcher we have. And their bullpen is also elite, unlike our collection of dumpster findings.

In other words

All my words are true and still correct.

I'm happy to be the jinx to get a winning outcome but now that you are involved, you have reverse-jinxed it.

[Stromile12]

**** joke of a game

[Brinbe]

time to win at home

[Potential]

Turned it off as soon as he hit Randy. Now hoping to see some positive posts that we got out of the inning and all I see is someone say they scored 5 runs which confirms the L. I don't care who hit a grand slam or a bases clearing double I'm onto game 6

[rarefind]

Think of it this way...

We've done our job. They've done theirs.

Now we have to do our job again and win the remaining two.

We did our job tonight. Our manager made one of the stupidest decisions I have seen in post season history.
