Pulling Kevin Gausman in the 6th with the Bases Loaded was Sheer STOOPIDITY. Seattle loaded the Bases with 3 Singles each on Good Pitches by Gausman with Nobody Out. Gausman responded by Striking out the Next Batter & then got an infield Pop-Up. Leading 8-1 with Elimination on the line & Gausman still Dealing Smoke with 2 Outs, you ride Gausman (the Blue Jays Best Pitcher next to Alek Manoah) until he is out of Gas. You don't replace him with an Average / Below-Average Reliever Tim Mayza who promptly gave up four (4) Runs. Shocking Blunder.
Yimi Garcia should have started the 8th Inning after a very solid outing in the 7th Inning throwing just Eight (8) Pitches with One (1) Strikeout & giving up ZERO (0) Runs & Leading 9-5. Instead Manager John Schneider went with a Below-Average Reliever Anthony Bass who promptly loaded the Bases with Nobody Out. The Wheels were off the Blue Jays Cart - Seattle scored four (4) more Runs to Tie the Game.
MASSIVE BLUNDERS.
