BREAKING on @thedigitalbits.bsky.social – Disney has also just set Mark Dindal’s classic animated film THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE (2000) for 4K Ultra HD release on 12/9 in honor of the film’s 25th anniversary! Details to follow in the weeks ahead.

If you’re not listening to the #bluejays broadcast they just mentioned an interesting - though not surprising - stat: since the all star break only the Rockies bullpen has a higher ERA than the jays.

Ugh

#BlueJays

We need Yimi Garcia back. Fast. #Bluejays

*Sigh*

He's not good.

Jfc Jeff Hoffman! What the hell, man? 😩 #BlueJays

That happens. Especially in playoffs. Sometimes you have to rely on your bullpen and right now the Jays can’t.

Not much offence help either.

Ugly

I'm happy if they make the playoffs

Have faith man! That's what September is all about.

We aren't winning any battle of the bullpen games anytime soon the way they are pitching. Gotta score early and often if we want to have a sniff.

Another Galaxy brain move by Schneider.

If you give the job to Dominguez, Hoffman still has to get big outs in the 8th, no?

At what point do they give the job to Dominguez? The leash has ti be getting pretty short. Yankees and Red Sox breathing down their necks. Hoffman closing a game in Yankee stadium is worrying right now.

Hoffman’s pitching has been awful lately. But pitching is about skill, not “trying hard.” Would you tell a golfer who all of a sudden can’t hit the ball straight that they are being lazy or dogging it? Sometimes you hit a bad run. No one feels worse about Hoffman than Hoffman.

He’s earned those boos.

Not by the bullpen, Mike. By the closer. You have to feel for the starters. Gausman pitched his guts out today. Must be so deflating.

Thank goodness the front office needed to use the trade deadline to play 4D chess.

So frustrating, but I've pointed out before how the Jays would've had to be oracles to get the right closer at either the pre-season free agent market or at the deadline. Relievers are always a massive crapshoot - ideally you have 2 or 3 who can close so if one goes like this you can use another.

This is a fucked up thing to say. Do better, you weirdo.

An Isaac Collins double makes it 4-1 #Brewers and the boo-birds come out hard for Hoffman. The boos turn to cheers as John Schneider comes out to get him.

Yariel Rodriguez takes over with 2out in top9 of what seems yet another #Bluejays game undone by the bullpen.

Hope this is the beginning of something.

I don’t think we’ll need to worry about a lot of playoff games, unfortunately.

The Hoffman experiment is over. The whole bullpen is a question mark. What the heck will we do the rest of the way, never mind in the playoffs? #BlueJays

Unless our bull pen improves our season is in jeopardy.
