At The Letters
Seeking Closure

And that was somewhat out of necessity, I think you would admit, because the Blue Jays did not, you know, they had several relievers down, like Louie and Tyler Rogers.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

Well, Tyler Rogers wasn't available.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

I think Louie Farland was available only if there was a save opportunity.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

And Hoffman wasn't available.

At The Letters

So it was kind of like it had to be Fisher.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

But if we're talking about like...

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

September game, you really need to win a high leverage against the Yankees at Yankee stadium.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

I don't know if Braden Fisher is really in that like inner circle of trust in the bullpen at the moment.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

His flexibility is just so valuable.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

There's no spot you can't put him into.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

And that's just so valuable in the sixth and seventh and eighth.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

Yeah and so that's why I think you just leave your options like you just leave things as undefined as possible and you just give yourself more flexibility and more workability to navigate your way through late in the game because I know this is hard like for people to imagine right now because we just haven't seen it yet but there are likely to be times that Louis Varlin struggles there are likely to be times when he isn't Mason Miller light that's likely to happen so

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

There may be times when Jeff Hoffman is bailing Louis Varland out of an inning.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

That's very possible.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

A reliever is incredibly volatile and things turn on a dime all the time.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

Yeah, he has overcome a lot in his big league career.

At The Letters
Seeking Closure

Former top prospect as a starter for the Blue Jays over 10 years ago.

and then gets traded in the Rockies deal.
