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


Or you know… he could have started the inning with nobody on base in the 8th or 9th.

You know what, at least we aren't going to get swept by the Dodgers.

He didn't. But the pitch wasn't bad. Fastball away. Suarez was just sitting on it because the bases were loaded. To say that Dominguez wasn't any better than Little isn't fair.

Dominguez shouldn’t be starting an inning against 3 straight LHBs in a 1 run game, now that would be even stupider

Replace him with someone with experience.MADMAX must be pissed.


with rogers being so cheap and also rely heavily on the analytics.....they should just replace Schneider with AI or chatgpt going forward

Little shouldn’t have even been on the roster. What an absolute travesty.

Dude, he has given up 2 runs in his last 16 outings and has been legitimately good in the playoffs. He is pitching fine right now as proven by last night. The fact that he wasn't put into the game is absurd.

Schneider stopped trusting Lauer who has been avoiding hard contact in his last appearance.

It is fair, the guy allowed a backbreaking grand slam after hitting a guy in great matchups for him statistically

Little was put against Cal Raleigh for who knows what reason

Didn't Hoffman pitch two innings against the Yankees, and it worked out okay? Schneider is a moron and should be fired if we lose this series. Inexcusable.

This game is done. Little can stay parked on the bench in Games 6 and Game 7, unless there is a blowout. Move Varsho to 8th or 9th in the lineup. IKF needs to be on the bench also. Move Clement up the order.

Finally, Schneider should not get so cute like bringing in this bum Little when the obvious move was to bring in Hoffman for the 9th (even with his struggles is a better option than Wild Man Little).

Lol at citing ERA as some kind of indication of how well he’s been pitching.

He looked like a complete disaster in September, he allowed the most HRs of any RP in baseball on the season and his command has been all over the place in October other than last night

He’s not been good since July but sure definitely a guy worth trusting against Cal Raleigh in a one run game haha
