Why would it make a difference? Also why not point this out before the game started? They announced this days ago. You’re doing what fans do, second guessing after the fact.
Agree to disagree. All the sudden, Dan is above criticism.

When you throw it over the plate at 85 mph yep....... LLWS hits those HRs too
Oh come on. They're one of the best hitting teams in baseball. Sure, Kirby may not be pitching a good game, but they're making him pay for it.

Show me anywhere between now and the end of game 2 where you wanted Castillo to start today instead of Kirby. Or other fans saying that. TBH it doesn’t really matter what order they go in, both are on full rest.

And he couldn’t pull Kirby in time when he gave up the 5 spot in that inning. It all happened so quick, bullpen wouldn’t have been ready and going to the pen by inning 3 could lose us future games.

At this point, down 4, i would just leave Kirby in and not waste the pen, we have games Thursday and Friday.

its always that "Im not a MLB manager" hindsight..... "Pull kIrby after 2" FFS... how do you even get through the game then and still survive 2 more at home? Are these people for real? I love them but.... W./..... the actuall.... F?

Sportsnet is reporting 25 to 30 percent jays fans but Canadian news outlets are usually full of misinformation.

This game is not over. We've just got to hold them for some innings and get some runs.

Gotta leave him in and take the punishment. Let him throw 75 pitches, at least. 🤷‍♂️

It's up the bats now anyway.

Pulling the pitcher is what the Jays would do. This game is far from over imo.
Least you have a bit higher baseball IQ...

You guys might take this one though unfortunately.... Our team seems to act like our couch managers
