ALCS game thread- TOR VS KC

[SemperFidelisSox]

Runner advances to 2nd on passed ball. "This is Royals baseball!!!!" Harold, any player on any team would have done that.

I think the Blue Jays are suffering from an over the top excessive celebration hangover.

Didn't they clinch before the Royals did?

 

[scotian1]

Their celebration after downing Texas on Wednesday was way over the top for clinching a Division series. You would have thought they won the World Series.

 

[Don Bradman]

Yes, by about 4 hours, they should definitely be over their hangovers compared to KC

Good point

 

[Al Zarilla]

Harold doesn't know why five teams wanted Revere and then starts to explain why he's so valuable.  :c070:

If this series goes seven, listening to him will be absolutely excruciating 

 

[scotian1]

Hurry up spring!

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol Bautista is a toolbag.

 

[rembrat]

Que paso? Just got here.

 

[Ed Hillel]

 
Que paso? Just got here.

He caught the third out, wound up like he was going to underhand it into the crowd and held onto the ball.

 

[Al Zarilla]

He caught a flyball for the third out near the RF stands, started to flip the ball to a fan, changed his mind and didn't. 

 

[rembrat]

I love how the Blue Jays get a man on and the opposing dugout and pitcher instantly start shitting themselves. 

 

[nvalvo]

Sadly, it looks like you spoke too soon.

If I were retired and well off, I might take in a lot of postseason baseball, too, but... what a weird way to do it.

Why weird? 

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Leaving Volquez in here is a huge mistake. Huge.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Edwin put both cheeks into it with two strikes?

 

[nvalvo]

Why weird? 

Wearing Marlins stuff to become a weird footnote to the broadcast?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Maybe he just loves the Marlins? I thought it might be that he appears to be such a loner.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What are they complaining about? These are all strikes.

 

[scotian1]

Umpire is certainly not hurting Voloquez.

 

[E5 Yaz]

How dare they call strikes on us! We're the Blue Jays!

 

[glennhoffmania]

Can someone explain what Harold is talking about?

 

[rembrat]

Asking for the moon.

 

[rembrat]

He's missing badly with that fastball. One more and I don't know if it stays in the park.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Can someone explain what Harold is talking about?

Need Rosetta Stone or something for that.

 

[Ed Hillel]

They're missing a lot of hittable pitches.

 

[scotian1]

In all fairness the umpire has been giving him just off the black. Comment from Schilling on twitter: Curt Schilling ‏@gehrig38  · 49m49 minutes ago   Medfield, MA  
"Any time an ump will call a ball a strike you keep throwing it. Outer edge is wide, use it"

 

[rembrat]

Well the edge is gone.

Unfortunately Curt hasn't learned the opposite lesson when it comes to politics

 

[Al Zarilla]

Well the edge is gone.

It's back.

 

[rembrat]

It's back.

 
And gone again.

 

[Ed Hillel]

How does he take that in this situation?

 

[glennhoffmania]

Volquez isn't respecting the game.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Again, what's he looking at?

I made that post to show off how much I know about baseball.
 
Exciting stuff.

 

[kopeck]

Again, what's he looking at?

 
ditto...Wow.

 

[joyofsox]

37-pitch inning and he strands the two walks. Big squander for TOR.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Wow.  Great pitch by Volquez.  Things I like about this game - two competitive teams (though I think KC's pitching is better).  Also, the big guy in the crown t-shirt directly behind home plate (he was there during the LDS too) calling balls and strikes and trying to distract the opposing pitcher.
 
Things I do not like about this game:  any utterances by Harold Reynolds.    

 

[rembrat]

Volquez isn't respecting the game.

 
And even worse, he celebrated in Spanish.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

What a gack by Donaldson

 

[rembrat]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

 

[Seabass]

That was beautiful. 

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tulo is one of many that were lusted for by some around here and we're lucky we didn't get. Moot point now with X of course.
 
Moose is sloooooooooooooooooooooow.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That DP was just sick.  Goins and Tulo both were spectacular on that.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Great play, but he runs like an actual moose.

 

[Sprowl]

Tulo lets his inner Iggy out to play.

 

[nvalvo]

Goins is fun.
