The Toronto Blue Jays decision to go with Brendon Little in the 8th inning has caused a lot of outrage towards manager John Schneider and he explained his decision after the loss.
The Blue Jays are headed back to Toronto for game 6 of the ALCS as they will have Kevin Gausman on the mound on the mound Sunday night in hopes of pushing for a game 7.
John Schneider explains decision to put Brendon Little in
Toronto had a 2-1 lead headed into the 8th inning which fell apart when Schneider decided to make a very questionable move and put Little in the game which is where the wheels fell off.
Fans could not believe that Schneider decided to go with Little instead of Seranthony Dominguez or Jeff Hoffman for the 8th inning.
John Schneider just handed Seattle game 5 and potentially ended the Blue Jays season because he once again decided to galaxy brain a decision he NEVER (NOT ONCE) made during the regular season.
Seranthony Dominguez is not a matchups pitcher. He is a 8/9th inning arm vs ANYBODY.

I didn't expect to see Little over Dominguez in this inning and it didn't work.
