OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[zeke]

Hoffman did pinch the 9th in games where he was absolutely needed, not in games where rogers and varland get pulled at 10 pitches as setup men and he's treated as the actual closer.

He obviously has the yips when he's put in this role and has since schneider first forced him into the capital C Closer role when he's never ever been that in his baseball life before.

Once an athlete is mentally broken, I don’t know that there’s any way to fix him.

I don’t know how anyone can ever get past two outs away from maybe the greatest run and World Series win ever, and letting the game go by a homer to their worst hitter who never hits homers.

I’m still traumatized by it. Any game I watch this season, I think about it. Him? I don’t know how he can go without it flashing across his eyes a thousand times a day. I feel really badly for him, and us. That was the worst and still feels like a bad dream.

knowing that today was a throwaway day, combined with the day off tomorrow, and pulling Rogers and Varland on 10 pitches last night is even more frustrating.
