Haha it's hilarious to see so many go full panic mode after a blown save. ####ty loss for sure, but it happens. Houston lost to the Rockies last night. The Dodgers lost a series to the Rockies just recently. It's not the end of the world.
No closer has a 100% conversion rate. Even the greatest of all time Mariano Rivera blew one out of every ten chances. Hoffman's problem is when he's off he's reaaaaaaaally bad and gives up a pile of runs in one outing. Then he usually goes back to being good again for a while before having another massive blow up.
I'm way more worried about the rest of the bullpen right now and the terrible month of August they are having collectively. Hopefully that gets turned around.
Anyways, I doubt there is a single fan here who thought the Jays would be 4 games up in the AL East on August 27th prior to the season starting. It's been an amazing season so far and the Jays are not only playing meaningful baseball when it matters, but they aren't chasing. They are still in the drivers seat which is awesome.
