Blue Jays @ Dodgers Aug 8-10 - Tonight Bassitt vs Snell @ 9pm

Varland and Rodriguez can share the closer role

[Randle McMurphy]

That Shohei non swing call was some serious rigging btw

He went the full way around

[Boogie!]

Hoffman had 5 walks alone today, he had 11 walks the entire season prior to today. I guess we can overreact or just chalk it up to an anomaly outing.

He also hadn’t pitched in quite a while.

Which I think makes a good argument for giving him a clean inning to work with.

That was a tough situation getting thrown in while rusty against 2 elite hitters. I think Freeman in particular just had a great AB.

He got a clean inning in the ninth to rectify his mistake and guess what same ****. There’s no excuses he sucked period.

Was a pure choke, agreed

Hoffman is worse than Romero

Ricky Romero?

He struck out on a ball, otherwise it would have been a tie game, if he just took it

That was proof right there he's terrible

Yea they need to stop letting him get rusty, it clearly messes with him. I don't know what the stats are but I feel like the last few times he had 4+ days of rest he struggled.

Apparently he’s been dominant on one day of rest, but everything else… not so much.

lol that wasn't even close, I don't know what he was looking at to not call that a strike.

[dh_45]

Worse than Ricky Romero and Romano

[Randle McMurphy]

Maybe Hoffman will reinjure that shoulder and we won't need to see him rest of this season

That would not be a good thing to hope for, we need all the good arms we can get

Either rigging or one of the worst chokes from an umpire you’ll ever see

lol I think he's blown a save every time he's gone multiple innings but then picked up the W as well so it hasn't technically hurt us

The umps are just as intimidated by Dodger Blue as Jeff was.

Yeah he’s worse than Ricky Romero too.

He has a couple multi inning saves this year. I still believe we overused him early in the year.

Did they show the replay? Nothing is worse than the Ben revere call though.
