Varland kinda reminds me of Jays prospect Gage Stanifer

Great inning by Varland. Kept throwing Strikes, great command, and did not play around.

12th HR for MVP Varsho in 32 games

Where the haters at

Varsho hitting nukes, Ty France playing like 2021 and we got a reliever with 5 years of control that throws 5 pitches and has a 99 mph fastball

Empty stats?

Varland really has the "closer" type attitude

We’ve hit into some brutal luck today on these line drives

Hoffman won't be able to blow this lead

I think a 4 run lead is the perfect time to bring back Hoffman.
A relatively low leverage closing situation.

Worst case scenario Hoffman can't go tomorrow, and you can prepare someone else as a secondary closer.

7 walks in a row would do it.

Maybe tomorrow they drop to even things out when we need the hits

I think after the 6th Schneider would make the hook and someone else would have to bail us out with less than 2 out, bases loaded, one run game.

John Schneider… young Bobby Cox.
