Fuji....GOD NO....

Blow Jays get out of it still 4 2

[Tony-OH]

19 pitches is all you are giving him Hyde? Yeah, let's burn through 4 more relievers in a burnt toast bullpen. Just dumb.

[Malike]

Fuji-san. Full throttle!

Straw might be Wells' last batter.

4 lefties in the next 5 batters for Cleveland.

And yet it's Fuji and not Coulombe.

I guess Coulombe will be later.

[MDK02]

Well this games about to get blown open with Fuji coming in… 

[oriolediehard]

Why are we choking against an eliminated Cleveland team?

All Cleveland wants is to be spoilers, they sucked all year, no credit given to them now even though they are playing good when it don't matter.

[tntoriole]

WTF?!!!!why are they taking him out for Fuji?

Seriously? They’re down by a run.

Well, credit to Wells, he looked good tonight. I had zero expectations for him. 

[NashLumber]

Happy to see Tyler Wells do what was required. Very encouraging.

Call me negative all you want but this team is in serious trouble. Just don’t know where the wins are going to come from to win the division. 

No you're good.  We all see what is happening.  We are in free fall.  Most likely because they are tired.  But we all need to pray because this crap looks like it is going to be our team for a while.  

I think someone just has to man up and dominate a damn game to take off the pressure.

He has hit a ton of balls to the warning track.

That wasn't his M.O. in AAA. He hit some legitimate bombs. It really is surprising to see him be such a punch and judy hitter at the big league level. The lack of homers is surprising and disappointing.

[TimD]

Cleveland just swept the Rangers so they are playing well as of late

4-2 Jays after 8...

Rays have 7-8-9 hitters due up in the ninth. I'd put Jays chances to win at 10-15%.

I get the feeling that we're going to sorely need Tyler wells again not too far into the future.
