He was hit by Diego Castillo. Very strange with absolutely no relation, I don’t believe anyways, to Max Castillo. Max being the kid that the Blue Jays called up and traded this year. LOL these guys have the exact same body and the exact same pitching mechanics. Pretty much identical stuff too.

The carbon fiber batting helmet saved Merrifield from worse injury, at least we can be thankful for that.
Says the guy who blames an epic bullpen collapse on the Manager. Maybe he should have waved his magic wound over the bullpen so they would have pitched better.
Or maybe he coulda left Gausman (the 110 million dollar stud) in to get himself outta the situation instead of looking 3 batters ahead. Or maybe pulled Bass sooner? That dude couldn’t get an out that day. Or maybe take some responsibility for the loss during interviews, like a decent manager…instead of “it sucks” on repeat. No magic wand required.
Yeah…it’s “magic wand”, not “magic wound”.
Hey you learned something !
Of course he should have left Gausman in. I mean...he only gave up 3 hits in a row, and the Jays had 8-1 lead.
I mean....what kind of manager pulls their starter after the line up has seen him 3 times, they hit 3 singles in a row and he's got a 8-1 lead? What a horrible decision. What was he thinking???
I guess my point is that the bullpen didn’t blow it.
Like you said, Schneids blew it by his decision making and misuse of his pitchers. What can you say about an interim manager who publicly demands accountability from his players (like when he called out Jr. for lack of hustle) but avoids taking responsibility for his own mistakes…Montoya woulda shielded his players and nutted up
And not for nothing, but Bichette had no play on that blooper to centre. Springer’s ball. Now our 115 million dollar centre fielder is concussed.
The silver lining in all of this is that as a Leafs fan, I am immune to stroke-inducing playoff chokes. But not amateur hour managers. You or I woulda managed a better game.
Coming to a store near you: John Schneider’s Cocktail Weiners…extra small.
yeah see this is where your exactly wrong. He should have been able to put me on the mound and be confident they were going to win.
This loss was ANYTHING but a managers loss. Your way over thinking this. As do most people when it comes to baseball managers. This was simply bullpen melt down of epic proportions, combined with some bad luck. Nothing more then that.
One aspect that no one talks about is the pulling of Bass. He has been good all year 1.54 ERA. Chances are he could have limited the damage to one or two runs and got a least a couple outs - just based on his record if they had left him in. That would have preserved a lead and turned it over to Romano for 3 or maybe 4 outs. Romano ends up gassed and even if they had pulled it out in the bottom of ninth or extra innings, they still would have needed game 3 and how much could he pitch in game 3?
Leaving Bass in is essentially the same argument as leaving Gausman in. They both could get outs.

Except Bass, IIRC, could not get anybody out. Everybody reached. Gausman, though, looked strong for most of the game, until the 6th. I think he still had some gas in the tank (he'd thrown 95 pitches) and could have finished that inning.
So, IMO, the situations were different.

He has to be tougher...no excuse is the name of the movie in 2023. I also believe some changes need to be made with coaches. Pitchers aren't better with Pete Walker....and we need a batting coach who will demand discipline. I think Rivera is good with infielders...but too conservative as a third base coach.

The end of the year is a great time to take a breath and look back at the baseball season that was. Some things happened as expected, but one of the things that’s so great about this game is when the unexpected happens. And that happened in the form of
