Jays must win or the season will come to a close
About this episode
Guest: Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman
For the first time this year, the Blue Jays will take the field knowing that if they lose, their season is over.
The Jays dug themselves a huge hole by losing the first two games of the American League championship series at home against the Seattle Mariners, but they went up to the Pacific Northwest and evened up the series before their gut-wrenching loss in Game 5.
In today's playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, Jays' closer Jeff Hoffman joins us to describe watching Friday's eighth-inning meltdown from the bullpen, and what he had to say to Brendon Little and Seranthony Dominguez after the fact.
We also open the mailbag at deepleftfield@the star.ca to answer your Jays' questions and read your comments. Make sure you keep sending them in after Game 6!
