You guys ain’t getting it man. What Schneider did tonight should get him fired.

That’s not your best option there

he's been pretty decent in the Sept/ Oct. Little has been way worse.

I’m not arguing that using Little was the right move

I’m arguing that Hoffman isn’t the right choice either there (and he’s been bad if you look past the results and how he’s actually been pitching)

its a result oriented game. Hoffman has been less erratic but definitelty not on the same level as the one we've come to know him by through most of the year.

It’s been a great season, so sad we wasted a legendary vladdy postseason run we may never see anything like this again… glad to see so much life on the boards it felt like the raptors board in a good way. I’ll see you guys on the raptors board bitching about Scottie Barnes

It makes me sad that we won't win for another 30 years, and I'll still remember the name Brendon Little.

Dominguez wasn’t any better

Dominguez got put in a terrible situation. The pitch to Suarez wasn't even bad. Mariners could just wait for the fastball because it was bases loaded and nobody out.

Nothing Dominguez hasn’t gotten out of loads of times before

Great matchups for him against Randy and Suarez and he just didn’t get it done

X-rays negative for Springer.

Schneider calling out the Seattle fans for cheering George getting hit.

Righties are hitting over .500 against Little over the last month. This was the stupidest move I’ve seen in post season baseball, ever.

Hoffman/Dominguez in whatever order. Only right answer period.

anyone else in the pen could be another answer. i have no idea what or whose bright idea was to bring in Little in that situation but he should have pitched in game 3 or 4 when they had the lead, if they were to use him.

I guarantee some statistician fed him a line about Little being least likely to give up a HR in that scenario or some ****. Shades of the Berrios pull.

I don’t even know what to say man. We might be talking about that decision for years if they don’t pull this series out.

Hoffman is bad in general and Dominguez is absolutely atrocious against LHBs

Neither would have been a good move

So again I ask what was the obvious alternative, we have a flawed/bad bullpen

91 k's as a reliever and you don't think that's worth keeping to see if he can manage to improve his control for less than 1m a year? lol

Little isn’t going anywhere but we will see if he can adjust to people taking on his curveball

Clearly the league ended up figuring out just don't swing at his stuff, but there's still something there to build on if he can make the adjustment.

whoever made that decision in that organization messed up big time.

We would have faired better if Domingez had started the inning instead of Little.Little should be DFA,d
