Hoffman Gets Slammed Late, Jays Lose Sixth Straight Series

About this episode

Sho Alli and Kaitlyn McGrath discuss the Blue Jays' sixth straight series loss, focusing on Jeff Hoffman's performance and the team's offensive issues.

Sho Alli and Kaitlyn McGrath break down the Blue Jays' 6-2 loss vs. the Diamondbacks in Arizona to lose the series, their sixth straight series loss. They take your calls and texts, and get right to Jeff Hoffman loading the bases with none out in the eighth inning, only to promptly give up a grand slam to Corbin Carroll. After already being removed from the closer role, what else can be done? Is he completely out of the circle of trust, and what other leverage spots can he pitch in at this point? They also discuss the offence providing 12 hits but only one extra-base hit, and get to Max Scherzer delivering six innings of two-run ball on just 74 pitches.
