ALCS game thread- TOR VS KC

[Sprowl]

Tronna on the board.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I wonder whether pitchers sometime ease up after going through Donaldson-Bautista-Encanarcion

 

[InsideTheParker]

It's odd, on my Nexus, Pearl's old avatar shows when she is quoted.
A request to the Royals: pls go
ahead before I have to leave at six. T I A.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Odd throws to Hosmer, he had to jump twice in a row.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

There's the one time it's smart to slide into first.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The recycled, ground up tire stuff under the green artificial turf will probably be found to cause black lung in ballplayers in 20 years.

 

[santadevil]

I haven't been following the thread, but I'm coming to post about the hipster douchebag to the left on the batters box that hasn't paid attention for 1 pitch yet.

Who wears round sunglasses? You're inside, asshole!

I'm sure he's some famous asshole, but fuck that guy.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Scutaro dealing.

Too bad they stopped selling the hooligans in the upper deck cans of beer.

 

[mwonow]

Why would Navarro hit anywhere but 9th?

 

[soxhop411]

Uhhh BP?

 

[Ed Hillel]

How does he call that a ball???

 

[mauidano]

Incredible AB and patience by Joey Bats.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Not the best framing by Perez?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

How does he call that a ball???

Not caught well at all, the glove dipping made it look low live

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

How does he call that a ball???

It was a strike. Ump should have at least checked with true first base ump on the checked swing.

 

[mauidano]

Volquez losing it and he gone.

 

[mauidano]

Tulo first pitch swinging!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Some really great ABs by the Jays this inning. Really great. Like Manny and Ortiz 2007 locked in with a perfect eye for the strike zone.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tulo's one of the guys on that team I like. Way to go Tulo.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Some really great ABs by the Jays this inning. Really great. Like Manny and Ortiz 2007 locked in.

 
True ... although Volquez loves to nibble with two strikes

 

[Remagellan]

Does Herrera have a clause in his contract that requires him to pitch every day?  

 

[CaptainLaddie]

This Blue Jays team is so fucking fun.  I really hope they can advance.

 

[Al Zarilla]

So, is Price deemed a starting pitcher for any more games here?

 

[soxhop411]

Price should not be warning.

 

[soxhop411]

Stupid

 

[CaptainLaddie]

It's his side day and they blew their bullpen up last night.  One inning won't kill him.

 

[santadevil]

Have to let Estrada roll here. Faced the minimum with that double play ball earlier. Pitching so well.

 

[hbk72777]

KC have another comeback in them?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Did Estrada get Orsillo'd?

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Right, Estrada SHOULD keep pitching but having Price ready for an inning or batter or two won't kill him.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The Royals aren't scoring today

 

[Ed Hillel]

Right, Estrada SHOULD keep pitching but having Price ready for an inning or batter or two won't kill him.

 
If throwing these pitches isn't part of his normal schedule, I'd question the move with a 5-run lead.
 
Edit - Ok, it's his side day, just saw that part.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Holy shit, Estrada had a 6.7 H/9 this year??

 

[WoburnDiaspora]

The Royals appear to be completely overmatched and seem to just want this game to end.  Their at-bats have been uninspiring.  Estrada has a lot to do with that of course.  

 

[santadevil]

Whew. Keep Estrada going.

 

[Wallball Tingle]

Tulo with a couple big hits this postseason with his team in the hole a couple games.

 

[E5 Yaz]

It sets up as interesting
 
Blue Jays have to win Games 6 and 7 on the road
Royals have to beat Stroman or Price

 

[Ed Hillel]

He Puig'd it.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Run, fuckface.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Price was great 'til the 7th, then he fell apart. Joe Buck calls'em as he sees'em. 

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Gotta bring Price in now

 

[Al Zarilla]

Booing an opposition home run. Don't hear that too much. 

 

[santadevil]

Helluva good game.
Estrada giving the Jays a chance for Game 6. Really saved the Bullpen.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Jim Gaffigan in the crowd there looking worried. 

 

[mikeford]

It sets up as interesting
 
Blue Jays have to win Games 6 and 7 on the road
Royals have to beat Stroman and Price

Well
 
They just have to beat Price OR Stroman. Not both.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Well
 
They just have to beat Price OR Stroman. Not both.

 
Yup, my bad

 

[mikeford]

Having said that, I'm totally expecting Aaron Sanchez to give up a bomb here

So was I ... lol.
