@BlueJays Hoffman should be a reliever for a while and not a closer. Hoffman has blew many "saves" this season and last season. If game had gone to extra innings, Jays can still loose but that would be another story.
Grand slam, D-backs.
Jeff Hoffman just loaded the bases and gave up the big blow here in the 8th.
Single, Single, Walk, Grand Slam.
The #BlueJays are down, 6-2, one inning away from their fourth straight loss.
When it comes to replacing George Springer, the Blue Jays' AAA position players include:
Eloy Jiménez (R)
Yohendrick Pinango (L)
Jonatan Clase (S)
Riley Tirotta (R)
Charles McAdoo (R)
RJ Schreck (L)
Josh Kasevich (R)
Only Clase is on the 40-man, but Jays have an open spot.
@pilon_matthew@BlueJays@TD_Canada Ya they do start slow but these are teams they should be beating. But I'm not concerned it's still early. The only ones complaining are the bandwagon fans.
@BlueJays@TD_Canada We’ll be fine 4-3 start isn’t awful just with the schedule should’ve been better Toronto has always been historically slow starters the offensive side isn’t there yet
Trey Yesavage made $57,204 in MLB this season as a late call-up from the minors.
The Dodgers lineup made over $148M this year.
He set the World Series rookie record for strikeouts against them with 12.
Blue Jays intentionally walk Ohtani w one out and nobody on in 9th. There is risk bc he can run, but you can’t let him beat you with one swing. Ohtani has second stolen but comes off bag and is tagged out
@JesseFelstead@RangerApologist It's common practice in the playoffs to restrict which zip codes are allowed to buy tickets. Not many Jays fans will be getting tickets.
@BlueJaysExpress@JohnnyGiunta_ Judge vs anyone should kill you. Varland threw a great pitch 100 4 feet outside of the strike zone. Superstars hit pitches for home runs that shouldn’t be
Varland 2 IP
Eric Lauer 3 IP (got rust out Sunday)
Fisher 1 IP
Fluharty/Little 1 IP
Dominguez 1 IP (rested)
Hoffman 1 IP (rested hit 97mph sat)
It won’t be pretty or have us at ease but this will be the most effective way to win tonight.
News: Bo Bichette is here jogging on the field at Yankee Stadium.
Very light, but this is the first we’ve seen. He still didn’t look very comfortable walking back to the dugout. #BlueJays
