2015 ALCS - Toronto Blue Jays (93-69) vs Kansas City Royals (95-67)

[Chev-boyar-sky]

This game is over. I hate being that guy but this is just hard to watch

I concur.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Can't pitch or field tonight apparently.

 

[L K]

Meanwhile Kansas hits a weak little blooper that dies on the turf (grass) and it's just funny.

 

[L K]

Come on.  They are interviewing the idiot who caught the ball and completely ignoring the game now. This is beyond stupid.

 

[L K]

2-1

Bautista destroyed one.  No bat flip.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

When you lie on national television it makes Bautista mad.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Ventura's got a temper. I'd be stepping out every at-bat.

 

[L K]

Credit to Price since that home run he has been good.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Credit to Price since that home run he has been good.

Yup, time for the bats to get some balls in play to help him out.

I know the ball is carrying tonight, but it still feels like too many on the roster are sitting waiting for a pitch they can go deep with as opposed to just getting some balls in play and manufacturing runs.

 

[L K]

Thug life leads off the 5th with back-to-back walks.  Goins at the plate.  Better be a sacrifice to move the runners over.

 

[L K]

And Goins fails to advance the runners....
And Revere fails to advance the runners...
And Donaldson destroys a ball directly into the diving glove of Moustakas.

3/23 with RISP in Game 2 and 6 (Ventura's games)

 

[TML fan]

The Jays not manufacturing runs will be the story of this series.

 

[L K]

Encarnacion 1-out double in the 6th and Ventura is done and here comes the Kansas City bullpen
...Colabello strikeout  0/8 with RISP tonight
...Tulowitzki weak fly out to center  0/9 with RISP

I actually feel bad for Price now, he really knuckled down and kept them in this and is getting no support.

 

[L K]

The Jays have done more than enough to harm themselves in this series but MLB better hope that this game doesn't end 2-1 as that was an atrocious call on the home run.   

Martin has been awful.

 

[Joe S.]

Martin can suck it.

I don't understand not bunting with Goins. I can't get over it.

 

[TML fan]

I don't understand not bunting with Goins. I can't get over it.

Teams that don't bunt. Players that can't bunt.

 

[L K]

I don't understand not bunting with Goins. I can't get over it.

Teams that don't bunt. Players that can't bunt.

Goins is actually a pretty solid bunter.  Waiting until strike 2 was dumb.  Leaving him to hit in the 7th was stupid.  He should have been pinch hit for there.

 

[Peter D.]

I don't understand not bunting with Goins. I can't get over it.

Reynolds friggin' called it too for Goins to take the first pitch.

Those two leadoff runners stranded on 2nd is haunting them right now.
