Blue Jays relief completely misses out against Twins

In recent days, the Blue Jays have had their ups and downs.

In an ideal world, the club would have a record above .500m (4-4) since the start of the series against the Pirates. But John Schneider’s men haven’t dominated against Pittsburgh, Miami and Minnesota.

Why not? It’s probably not because of George Springer.

Yesterday again, the outfielder was excellent. He hit two long balls, bringing his total to six since leaving the injured list on August 16. He’s on fire.

But it was the relief that really hurt.

It’s not the first time a reliever has dropped it recently. And in yesterday’s game, closer Jeff Hoffman was to blame. He has one more sabotage and one more loss on his record, on top of his four points allowed.

Giving up two home runs yesterday means he’s conceded 12 this year. That’s too many.

And the problem is, you never know which version of Hoffman will be at a game. He’s had a wonderful run recently, but in the last two games, he’s lost his way.

Last night’s 7-4 loss was largely due to the closer. And it seems like every night there’s another reliever who can’t consistently get the job done.

Since Yimi Garcia’s return is unlikely at this point, we’ll need other solutions. Will that involve Alek Manoah or Trey Yesavage, to avoid slipping too far down the standings?

  • The Brewers won again.
  • As long as his game is over…

  • Excellent match.

  • Mets’ offense unlocks.

  • Une machine.
