I kind of agree but It's also a tough call as Jano has been the only clutch player the Jays have had this year. So I understand the logic of hoping he runs into one. I also think he did his job and that Varsho/Rivera respected Laureano's arm too much. That was deep to right field and Laureano's throw would've had to be absolutely perfect. Especially with the angle he was throwing from Varsho would've been in the way of the throw. Hindsight 20/20 of course.
