I remember two weeks ago, when Garcia and Hoffman were perhaps the biggest bright spot on the team.

So, why are you not for this?

I’m not for or against it in isolation.

Although considering I’m for the FO being fired (which is the only thing that would truly accomplish anything), I suppose in the greater sense I am for it.


I did say “gotta start somewhere” right?

You’re really committed to arguing.

Some might say it takes two to tango.

It was and has always been Varsho. Unfortunately for him, he plays on this team.

Can’t be mad for this loss, the offense looks revived. What happened to 40 HR Santander?

Maybe the starters averaging around 5IP is by design. It’s the reason the bp is gassed why can’t the big money sp’s pitch into the 7th.

Another tough loss. I wonder if Hoffman is injured or the issues with the shoulder that scared other teams away has become a problem now. Not good.

Also, what has happened to Santander?? The guy looks lost. Another 3 SO last night. He's not helping this team with that bloated contract that was given to him. Atkins special!

Vladdy had that fumble yesterday that cost a run, another in the seventh that.

He need to stop trying to be a hero at first. Doing more damage than good

It would be nice if our 500M man wasn’t the worst defender in baseball

Alas

Because the analytics say RPs are better on average than starters going third time through the order and every team (including and especially the Jays) follows that regardless of game context

Hoffman looked like the best closer in baseball. Now he’s imploding like Devin Williams.

Santander no power, Guerrero no power. Man this team is ass.

He absolutely could have. Schneider just doesn't trust his pitchers enough and tends to overmanage.
