Ninth Inning Nightmare: Late Hoffman Collapse Sinks Jays

Blue Jays Talk

About

Sho Alli and Nick Ashbourne break down the Blue Jays' stunning 6-5 walk-off loss vs. the Orioles in Baltimore. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the biggest story of the game: Jeff Hoffman melting down in the bottom of the ninth, as he allowed six straight batters to reach in the loss. How much can the blame be shared between Hoffman himself, manager John Schneider for not pulling him sooner, or Ross Atkins for the bullpen construction? What is Hoffman's role on the team moving forward? Plus, they discuss Trey Yesavage walking seven batters over 5.0 IP, and get into the offence delivering five runs in the loss, including a four-hit day for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and another big swing for Kazuma Okamoto.
