The botched routine double play likely costs the game. ugh

 

[Derk]

Finally! Home run Jose ties the game in the bottom of the 9th!

Is a 3rd to 1st considered a routine double play?  It seems like it's more difficult than a 6-4-3 DP.

It is when you're a less than casual fan, don't appreciate the difficulty of that plan and are regurgitating the things the Cleveland commentators are saying.

Great job Santos. :

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Way to be clutch Melky, back to the dugout for some more juice.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink man..

 

[Derk]

And the Jays go quickly and quietly in the bottom of the 11th and are now 0-2 on the season. Disappointing start.

Anyone know when Lawrie returns?  Looks like something's 'missing' at 3rd.

What separates a routine double play from a difficult one isn't so much a matter of which infielder starts the play so much as it is a variety of factors that can effect any double play. How hard the ball is hit, how far the fielder has to range to play it, the speed of the runner on first, the speed of the hitter. It's not a question of a 6-4-3 or a 4-6-3 being more routine but rather there are routine versions of each play. In this case, yes, this was what should have been a routine 5-4-3.

Works for me, I was genuinely unsure.

Are the out of playoff contention yet? Some are already making it sound that way.

There's only 160 games left. I don't see how they can close the gap.

 

[mc]

what channel is the Jays game on?

 

[Deebo]

The other sportsnets

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Supposedly Sportsnet1 is on free preview this month so should be able to get it.

It's on the other regional channels too.

 

[mc]

thanks fellas.

 

[TML fan]

Bonifastio gets a double on a single up the middle.

 

[bustaheims]

The homerun power of the Jays has certainly reasserted itself tonight.
