Hamels was excellent 

 

[canderson]

Should be out - holy shit this makes the Arod slap seem lame in comparison to this inning.

 

[mauidano]

Chuck Knoblach playing for the Rangers today.

 

[BoSoxFink]

How bad would it be if the MVP of the league hits into a DP here and they get nothing out of this.

 

[Catcher Block]

Hamels got 4 outs that inning, and he's going to get the loss. Baseball is a cruel game.

Or ... good

 

[thehitcat]

That was awfully dirty slide he went after the catchers plant leg which was out of the baseline.

[Wingack]

I'm expecting a squeeze bunt

A real winner would have found a way to make his teammates stop fucking up!

 

[jon abbey]

Hard to imagine much of a tougher situation for a reliever than this, except of course if there were no outs still. 

 

[E5 Yaz]

Line drive hitting the runner coming from third?

 

[Wingack]

Lol

 

[bosox188]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

[canderson]

Fitting hit.

 

[jon abbey]

Holy shit, Odor totally misjudged that.

 

[LogansDad]

This is so much fun

 

[DonBuddinE6]

This is one of the most amazing post-season innings, ever.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Craziest inning ever.

 

[Rough Carrigan]

I can't believe that he misjudged that.

 

[LesterFan]

Never seen such a defensive implosion like this

 

[BornToRun]

What the fuck was that?

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

What was the runner supposed to do?  He went straight in to the plate.  Was he supposed to run full out to try to score and then somehow completely stop his own momentum instantaneously?

 
He did not go straight to the plate.  The first thing to touch the plate was his hand...well behind his feet.  On a force, there's no reason to slide like he did except to try and take the catcher's feet out from under him.  The catcher caught the ball, cleared out from the plate, then got tripped.
 
Old school bullshit "play hard" says it's clean.  No way is it in reality. 

 

[Marciano490]

This looks like my half brother's little league games. 

 

[BestGameEvah]

This is all too amazing. Odor fielding and Revere running.  Holy Cow!

 

[canderson]

So what of mob upholds Toronto's protest, yet Toronto goes on to win?

 

[Rough Carrigan]

Texas fan:  Odor, you stink!

 

[BoSoxFink]

Rangers defense sucks

 

[Average Reds]

Just when you think it can't get weirder.

 

[glennhoffmania]

I was waiting for them to call infield fly.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Odor should have had that easily. Texas!

 

[BestGameEvah]

A real winner would have found a way to make his teammates stop fucking up!

Oh cool.

 

[Rough Carrigan]

I really like Joey Bats.  Bomb here, please

 

[Catcher Block]

I was waiting for infield fly

 

[Wingack]

Wow

 

[canderson]

REVIEW THAT

 

[brandonchristensen]

HOLY SHIT

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

WOW

 

[TSC]

THE BASEBALL GODS WILL NOT BE DENIED

 

[Couperin47]

If you wrote a script of this game, anyone who knows baseball would laugh you out of the room...and on cue....

 

[johnmd20]

I cannot tell you how happy that Home Run made me. Wow, I'm jubilent. 

 

[Rough Carrigan]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Catcher Block]

That about sums up the half inning for Texas.

 

[DonBuddinE6]

Oh, Canada!

 

[bluefenderstrat]

Bam!

 

[brandonchristensen]

Cubs/Jays would be so fun.

 

[LogansDad]

Holy shit

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]
