Hoffman is due for a home choke and some booing by the home crowd. Tonight is the night for that and it can finally solidify the inevitable wild card spot so we can all rest

This whole Thanos esque entrance almost makes this top of 9th feel more scary.

If Hoffman can not save this, Dominguez needs to be the Closer for the Wild Card series.

Agreed.

I don't care about the lefty splits. There is an "it" factor. This is going to be a great litmus test.

2 DRS in less than 100 innings so far at SS for the Jays and that's while hurt

The 3 league leaders are Betts (17), Neto (13), and Allen (12), all over 1000 innings played

He's the best defensive player in the league and it isn't all that close


My SUV travels faster than an airplane for the first 100 ft of movement

Is your SUV a platinum glove winner as well for best fielder in baseball

If you know how enormous those splits are, you might disagree

Those entrances should be reserved for real Closers like Duran and Mason Miller.
