Hoffman would've been the choice. Or even Fisher.

Realistically, you don't feel comfortable with anyone in that situation. We really needed add on runs this game and left too many out there.

Dominguez wasn’t any better

Dominguez got put in a terrible situation. The pitch to Suarez wasn't even bad. Mariners could just wait for the fastball because it was bases loaded and nobody out.

Schneider let the team down, the players know it and he knows it.

He may have been better than Little with the bases empty and was good yesterday.

Yes, he sucked royally too but he gave up a HR to a RHB not what your all knowing play the percentages strategy would have predicted.

Basically, anyone over Little except maybe Fisher who I also have 'little' faith in.

Hoffman is bad, people seem to be forgetting that

I’d go Fisher but they haven’t been using him in high leverage at all and wasn’t even a consideration

We really went to little in a 1 run game who can’t throw strikes to save his life. We also had bassitt… when is this is man gonna pitch?

You bring your closer in there. They have been riding or dying with Hoffman all season and he had actually looked decent recently.

Hoffman has been a dreadful reliever for two months now

That’s not your best option there

he's been pretty decent in Sept/ Oct. Little has been way worse.

So who was the best option then besides Little.They have to put out someone.Way better choices than Little for a better result.Needed velocity there.Domingez not at fault for Khakis orders.If he comes in to start the inning,it goes better,or Hoffman.Last night Schneider was cooking.
Use Hoffman with a day off LOL DOH DOH DOH !

HR prevention from the guy who gave up the fewest on the team is the only plausible explanation

Just finding out Geno hit the grand slam. Another home run for that home run or bust idiot. We were never beating this superteam

I mean it would hard to be worse than Little was but using Dominguez against 3 straight LHBs is a horrible idea given his splits

The explanation will be: we wanted to turn Raleigh around

Which is incredibly stupid because Raleigh has real power from both sides, and Little in a fresh innings where has to face 3 - there’s no chance of a clean inning

Yes he was. Schneider definitely mishandled this situation. There's no way to sugarcoat it. I would love to hear his explanation for bringing in Little. lol.

If Hoffman blew the game id be equally mad but id understand the process I mean we did it yday. John managed scared and got what he deserved. If you dont trust Hoffman there than why has he been the closer all year.

Going little is just mind numbing the books been out on him for months

lol wtf

If we win Game 6 and Game 7, Little can be our Chad Green who comes in blowouts in the World Series. In the off-season, let him walk in free agency. Guy has been wild, no control, and a nervous wreck on the mound in the second half. I do not want to see this guy in a Jays uniform in 2026.
