ALDS Game Thread

[Al Zarilla]

Who gives a flying fuck if Bautista pimped his homer?  He just hit the second biggest homer in franchise history.  That was incredible theatre.  Grow up, asshats.  These fans are fired up, screaming, going bananas.  This is awesome.

Joe Carter says hi.
 
You did say second. Sorry.

 

[johnmd20]

Joe Carter says hi.

 
2nd biggest.

 

[BornToRun]

I refuse to believe this game ends without the Rangers making it interesting. I need some more crazy shit to happen because I missed most of the fireworks.

 

[ngruz25]

The fielder never got under the ball

Why would that matter?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Price must be pissed to have to play with a posing showboat like Bautista.

I personally love the pimp/bat flip, but I that is one of the first things I thought of

 

[Rough Carrigan]

"Points on the board" Harold?
You're detracting from a baseball game, not basketball or football.

 

[snowmanny]

Totally love the flip.

 

[Wingack]

I think Hillary Clinton is sitting behind the ump

 

[54thMA]

So happy for all of those knowledgeable, long suffering, die hard baseball fans in Toronto.
 
Specifically the one who drilled the infant with a beer can earlier.
 
Too bad the Nationals didn't make the playoffs, they could wear Expo throwback uniforms and make it an all Canadian World Series.

 

[johnmd20]

53 minute inning. Dayum.

 

[Rochacha75]

53 minute inning!  hahahahahahaha

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bat flips don't bother me, but why doesn't Encarnacion get drilled for that one flap down, or up.

 

[Wingack]

Dustin should be tossed

 

[E5 Yaz]

That's Kathy Kinney

 

[johnmd20]

Dyson is just dying to start a fight with someone.

 

[CTSOX]

Is that a "Fuck You Texas" chant?

 

[ngruz25]

On the infield fly non call, I guess it's kinda sorta moot because the runners can advance at their own risk, right?

 

[LogansDad]

WTF is Dyson trying to accomplish there?

 

[Wingack]

 
That's Kathy Kinney

Oh wow you are right. Good call.

 

[mikeford]

Someone on the Jays is gonna touch Beltre's head and this game is going to turn into a riot.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Tulowitzki is being an asshole there. There was no harm in that

 

[mauidano]

Dyson is just dying to start a fight with someone.

Plenty of takers on both sides probably.

 

[canderson]

Someone on the Jays is gonna touch Beltre's head and this game is going to turn into a riot.

You win the Internet.

 

[InsideTheParker]

So to Harold Reynolds, hitting ball right at fielders who can't handle them amounts to the Jay fighting to get back into the game? Has he been watching?

 

[LogansDad]

On the infield fly non call, I guess it's kinda sorta moot because the runners can advance at their own risk, right?

Odor never camped under the ball, he was backpedaling the whole way. I dont think it was an infield fly.

 

[Catcher Block]

On the infield fly non call, I guess it's kinda sorta moot because the runners can advance at their own risk, right?

Yeah, but I have to think they retreat if it's called.

I do think the non call was correct though. Odor never looked comfortable while the ball was in the air. It has to be routine.

 

[cjdmadcow]

What's else can happen in this game? HBP sparks a riot, small mammal interfering with an outfielder, shame the roof is closed as I could just see a base-jumper coming in off the tower.

 

[paulb0t]

Someone on the Jays is gonna touch Beltre's head and this game is going to turn into a riot.

Now I need a new keyboard. 

 

[E5 Yaz]

Yeah, but I have to think they retreat if it's called.

Unless it's in Atlanta

 

[mauidano]

Maybe but it's probably not the best time to chat.

 

[mikeford]

 

[Al Zarilla]

Maybe but it's probably not the best time to chat.

Didn't he tap Tulo on the ass first?

 

[BestGameEvah]

Odor never camped under the ball, he was backpedaling the whole way. I dont think it was an infield fly.

The umpires have to assume it's a reasonable ball to catch, and Odor unfortunately proved it wasn't.  Back pedaling instead of turning to get under it.

 

[jon abbey]

I would love to see TEX come back here somehow, that's a start.

 

[mikeford]

Sanchez just sat down for an HOUR and he's back in the game?
 
 
Gibbons is just dying to give this back

 

[E5 Yaz]

I would love to see TEX come back here somehow, that's a start.

 
This has to go extra innings

 

[Greg29fan]

Gibbons trotted Sanchez back out there after a 53 minute half inning?  What a dope.

 

[jon abbey]

Sanchez just sat down for an HOUR and he's back in the game?

The 53 minutes was both halves of the inning, but yeah, he sat a while. 

 

[mauidano]

Didn't he tap Tulo on the ass first?

Yep. Still Dyson shoulda just put his head down and went  to his own dugout. Things are a little sensitive right now...like a pregnant woman. Gotta be careful about what you say or do.

 

[Rochacha75]

On the infield fly non call, I guess it's kinda sorta moot because the runners can advance at their own risk, right?

 
He was back peddling well into the outfield.  That wasn't an infield fly

 

[LogansDad]

Bottom 7 was 30 minutes. Whole inning was 53

 

[54thMA]

That slide into home was gigantic; if the catcher completes the double play there, the tying run doesn't score on a fielders choice, it's the third out of the inning. 
 
Well the way that inning went, it was about the sixth out.

God bless bad managers.

 

[jon abbey]

Goins has made some big plays today. 

 

[Rough Carrigan]

That's another reason why guys generally don't try to do full spin around plays on the pivot.

 

[BestGameEvah]

The ball should have been caught.

 

[Greg29fan]

Sanchez has also pitched in every game in the series

 

[Rough Carrigan]

No sweat.  Toronto can bring in their clutch Cy Young winner lefty ace, right? 

 

[canderson]

Please hit a home run. Please.

 

[Lowrielicious]

No sweat.  Toronto can bring in their clutch Cy Young winner lefty ace, right? 

please let that happen...
