Owen HillHOST
I probably would have done the same thing as Schneider did, to be honest.
Jesse BurlHOST
Would you have done maybe Brendan Little? And I know this is going to make some Blue Jays people cringe, but his last six appearances at that point were hitless.
Jesse BurlHOST
Four walks, 12 strikeouts, five and two thirds before he gave up a run in game two.
Jesse BurlHOST
But like, if you're going to go a lefty to get lefties out late, should you have least considered Little over Mansuply?
Owen HillHOST
I would have gone Mantiply.
Owen HillHOST
I can see the argument.
Owen HillHOST
You know I'm a Brendan Little guy.
Owen HillHOST
I like Brendan Little probably more than most people.
Johnny GiuntaHOST
I-
Avery ChenierHOST
So the, the one that I loved, my favorite one when we brought this up was, uh, why did Joe Mantenple come in instead of Brendan Little? I'm like, guys, like, you-
Johnny GiuntaHOST
[laughs]
Avery ChenierHOST
But for, from what I've seen of your thoughts about...
Avery ChenierHOST
I mean, I'm the guy, I'm the Brendan Little guy.
Johnny GiuntaHOST
Yeah.
Avery ChenierHOST
I mean, I lost it a little bit in the middle there.
Avery ChenierHOST
I hope you guys can't blame me for that.
HudsonHOST
Yeah.
HudsonHOST
Shout out Brendan Little, though.
HudsonHOST
He's had a little bit of a redemption
MishaHOST
this season.
Madison ShipmanGUEST
[laughs]
Blake MurphyHOST
Had they used Brendan Little-
Madison ShipmanGUEST
Yeah
Blake MurphyHOST
... and he blew it, that would've been a very big story and a very big deal given that Brendan Little's been much better lately.
Madison ShipmanGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Blake MurphyHOST
But he has not succeeded in some pretty big spots over the last 12 months.
25 MINS LATER
Blake MurphyHOST
I think anything earlier than that was unrealistic timeline-wise, so, um, that's one.
Blake MurphyHOST
Mantiply versus Little.
Kevin BarkerHOST
Yeah.
Jeff BlairHOST
And so was Brendan Little at one point today.
Kevin BarkerHOST
Two, two lefties and a righty.
Jeff BlairHOST
Right.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
Idiotic move.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
The other thing is, do you know who was up in the bullpen throwing in the ninth inning? Brendan Little.
Jeff AzzopardiHOST
Mm-hmm.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
Another lefty.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
And J- and we know this about John Schneider.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
When John Schneider's not comfortable putting you in a game in a certain situation, he will not do it.
Sid SeixeiroHOST
John Schneider, in a big game at home, has not put Brendan Little in a game that matters since the Seattle game last year in the ALCS.
Jeff AzzopardiHOST
Yep.
Mitch BannonHOST
I don't believe they got a different guy up, uh, in between Okamoto hitting the home run.
Mitch BannonHOST
But the only real other option was probably Brendan Little.
Mitch BannonHOST
Maybe you go Brayden Fisher, uh, to face two lefties at the top of the lineup.
Mitch BannonHOST
But it all happened really fast.
JD BunkisHOST
You're thinking about Spencer Miles, and if you've got two other relievers down, well, that doesn't really leave you with a lot of options.
JD BunkisHOST
I will say this, like, you can look at Joe Mantiply's splits and you can look at his numbers against lefties and say, "Hey, you know, this guy should probably be the guy over a Braden Fisher, over a right-handed pitcher." I don't really know what the case was ahead of Brendan Little who-- I, I get it.
JD BunkisHOST
Narratively, if Little blows it, people are like, "Use Mantiply." If Mantiply blows it, people are like, "Use Little." I personally would have more faith in the guy with better stuff in that st- in that point, but that's just me.
JD BunkisHOST
But ultimately, it does fall on the manager as well.
Kevin BarkerGUEST
Like, this was something because you've got guys in the pen, exactly two lefties and a righty matchup.
Kevin BarkerGUEST
You know, if you had any argument whatsoever, you would say, okay, I'd rather go to Brendan Little.
Ben EnnisHOST
Yeah.
Kevin BarkerGUEST
Then Joe Manthiply.
Kevin BarkerGUEST
Joe Manthiply has been good, actually.
Kevin BarkerGUEST
You could argue that.
Kevin BarkerGUEST
So has Brendan Little, last six outings.
Kevin BarkerGUEST
He hasn't given up a run either, right? The little extra gear, the four-seamer.
Jason BarrHOST
What is worse, getting a no-hitter broken up in the ninth inning the first time or the fourth time?
MitchAUDIENCE
It depends if you're asking Brendan Little or not.
MitchAUDIENCE
Fourth time.
Jason BarrHOST
All right, let's go over your answers.
