"During the playoffs last year, Little allowed a home-run to Freddie Freeman which cost them the game. His prior outing came in Game 5 of the ALDS against the Seattle Mariners where Little allowed a grand slam in the eighth inning, costing the Blue Jays that game."
"In Saturday's game against the Athletics, Little allowed another grand slam which put the Blue Jays down 6-2. The team was able to rally and win the ball game in 11 innings, but Little's performance was abysmal."
"In 0.2 innings pitched he allowed four hits and four earned runs, while walking one. You could feel the energy of the crowd fall when Little came into pitch, as the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) got more cheers than he did."
"The Blue Jays cannot afford to put Little on the mound right now during a close game. As shown by these last few games, when he's on the mound, the team's chances of winning diminish significantly."
Brendon Little's recent outings have been disastrous for the Toronto Blue Jays. In the playoffs last year, he allowed critical home runs that cost the team games. His first two appearances this season have been even worse, including allowing a grand slam against the Athletics and four earned runs in less than an inning against another team. The Blue Jays are in a difficult position, as Little's poor performance raises doubts about his ability to contribute effectively in close games.
