#37He was trying to stretch the bullpen one more inning, so his left-handed ace didn't have to face three right-handers. He gambled, and it lost. It wasn't done for television ratings or anything. It was bad managing, which has happened countless times over history, and will in the future.Comment -

#38I think there were no outs at that point. I'm not sure why he didn't walk Encarnacion, that made no sense to me. I agree that Britton should have been out there to try to salvage the inning/game/season. It would be pretty embarrassing if they didn't have him ready to come in.Comment -

#41Being a manager in baseball is the most retarded job. Name another sport where the fans have managing suggestions?Comment -

#43Believe what you want. Duesing handle the first batter fine and didn't need to bring in ubaldo period. You don't bring in a starter who struggles every first or second inning in his starts in a do or die situation. You believe in the purity of it if you want because that's not a gamble what he did it's pure stupidity and no one is that dumb.Comment -

#44I don't know if walking Edwin is the call there? Edwin, Bautista and Martin are the three guys in that line up that are going to K trying to hammer that ball outta the infield (Jays don't play small ball) I don't want to bring Tulo up.
That was a poor play in LF also, I'm not sure Travis was heading to third without that bobble then that changes Edwins at bat possibly.
*Forgot Duensing already had the first out so that makes my point useless, hell I don't know I'd still pitch at EE.Comment -

#50Once they brought in Jizminez I knew they were screwed.
After the first base hit I thought for sure hes done, after the 2nd ok no doubt they go to Britton with the season on the line... Unreal managing here
But you also have to blame the Bal bats for going completely cold in a must win game. 4 hits in 11 innings in this ball park is pathetic.Comment -

#51yup, as soon as he left him in there after the first 2 hits, I was confident jays where going to win. but when Edwin came up to bat I knew my only chance to cash my jays -1.5 run line bet was a deep ball, and boy did he come through.Comment -

Jays are going to get rolled by Texas though. Haven't heard if Osuna is hurt I'd hate to see old man Grilli closing out games now. If they do get through that I think they'll make the WS though.Comment -

#55No not they just buck. I think the teams actually played everything straight up and buck set them up to fail. And to me I believe he did it on purpose. Who knows why but that kind of decision just is to stupid for me to believe it was just a gambleComment -

#63Manage 162 games to get your team to a one game playoff and forget to use your best pitcher in extra innings.
He should resign. No need to wait to be fired. It's like scoring an own goal in soccer.Comment -

#66Yes...the fix was done perfectly! O'Day came in to get the first out so it didn't appear fixed. Then bring in ubaldo to throw a couple meatballs for base hits, because if he walked them it would appear fixed too...that sets up 2 chances for a Homer to win 5-2. Because if he just let 1 guy get on base then gave up the Homer, winning 4-2 would be too obvious that it was fixed, so 5-2 seemed more nonchalant...this fix was done to perfection. Now let me ask you this...have you ever lost a wager that wasn't fixed? BOL to you...Comment -
