Little can’t throw strikes. No one chases because they know he’s a bum.

So Schneider thinks he’s the perfect choice to pitch to #2, 3 and 4 hitters.

It speaks to how little confidence he has in seemingly all of them outside of Varland who he can't wait to use any chance he gets

I am so pissed right now. Literally saw this inning coming a mile away when Little was in the bullpen warming up.

You need to pull all the stops, not roll out the red carpet. Absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely sickening.

I should have put some money down on this.

Dominguez wasn’t the choice there either with all those LHBs


It was Chris Bassitt

He’s a major league pitcher.

Watching this game has been a nightmare. Our high hopes were dashed by an injury to one of our best players, and we blew a late lead—all thanks to our clown manager. I feel sick to my stomach right now.

This loss is devastating. We had all the momentum and lost Springer too.

really should have been Hoffman if he actually had confidence in him, you use your closer there for the 6 outs.

You also need to prevent HRs and those two allowed the fewest of them all year

They then allowed the two biggest of the season

Yesterday's win was big.

I'm confident we'll win the remaining two games at home with Yesavage and Bieber taking the mound.

Just need Springer to be healthy.

If the Jays dont win this series, I honestly don’t see how John Schneider lives this down

Now way Jay's were going to sweep Seattle at home anyway. Schneider knew that. That's why he used little. He knew Jay's wouldn't win this game

They’ve been using Hoffman in 6 run leads

It’s pretty clear what they think of the guy

Think of it this way...

We've done our job. They've done theirs.

Now we have to do our job again and win the remaining two.
