Guys why was Tejada having foot on the bag challenged? I thought neighborhood plays could not be reviewed.
Even the Japanese media is writing about the Blue Jays being cursed

How can my Blue Jays possibly be this cursed.
The neighborhood play didn't apply here.
Umps ruled it a force play since they didn't think Ruben could have turned two. In those cases, it can be reviewed.
I believe the ruling was that the throw pulled him off the bag so it wasn't the neighborhood. But then of course Utley never touched second so that point should have been moot.

You read it wrong.
it says "The Blue Jays are cured
" You were reading it backwards. They go right to left.

Judging by the level of success enjoyed by other Canadian franchises since the Jays won in 1993, I'd say its Canada-wide curse.

If he started in the DS he'll start in the CS since that's where you usually use a 4 man rotation.
He did well last night, just maybe needs to be pulled earlier and do a "bullpen game" type thing with Wood pitching after him (since the starting lineup will be heavy LHB)
I hope Jason Hammel proves his worth with a strong six innings. If he gets a 1-2-3 first inning then that could be the hump he needs to climb. Finishing in four would be cool since that saves Lester for game 1
Wasn't neighborhood. Think it came down to what happens when neither of them touches the base, since I'm pretty sure the slide was technically legal.
you mean like the Cardinals did to Hanley and broke his fucking ribs a few years ago in the post season? no doubt in my mind they were throwing at our players on purpose. THis shit is no different , sucks dude got hurt, but it happens. You move on.
I hope they throw at him, mayube they will kick out the pitcher. Go ahead Mets, do something stupid, i dare you.

If you do this you might as well get rid of double plays.
Given how devastating a DP can be to an offense, making it even easier to turn them just unbalances the game in favor of the defense.

Matt Reynolds will be Wilmer's back-up, he'll be the second player since 1869 to make his MLB debut in the playoffs.
The Slide is up to the judgement of the umpire. The umpire could have called interference and then Utley and Kendrick would be be called out and the inning ends with the Mets up 2-1. The umpire thought the slide was okay
If you remove late slides like Utley's you can get rid of the neighborhood play too.

Do NOT trust Jason Hammel in pressure games.

We had a choice between him and Cheech. No real SS depth.
Odd choice. Thought Herrera would get the call up.

Herrera has never played SS, he's a pure 2B, Reynolds at least can, passably, play SS.
Herrera has played short in the minors, actually.

But not well

Right, hasn't had significant time there at any position above high SS A ball.
Watch him have a 4 hit, 5 RBI game tomorrow

He'll start in the NLCS if we make it that far, Wilmer hasn't had an AB yet he should be good to go for two-three games.

Reynolds is probably a better defender that Wilmer or Ruben but his bat is... bad. He's not a prospect he's 24 and a AAAA player at best.
You aren't really looking to bring up top prospects right now though. In some cases maybe, probably wouldn't now. If Mets advance re-evaluate roster.

Yeah just saying he's really not a part of the orgs vision going forward. He likely never plays in the majors again after this.
He's just literally ALL the Mets have.
It's a desperation option.
No matter what happens, game 1 of the NLCS isn't until Saturday, so Arrieta would start on normal rest if the Cubs make it that far. Lester would be game 2 if the Cubs win the next two.
That also preserves the option of starting Arrieta on short rest in Game 4 and Lester on short rest in Game 5 (and Arrieta again in Game 7), if that's needed in the NLCS.

Taking Houston for +105 on the run line. Royals have hit Keuchel well but I think he'll be solid today, scattering the occasional hit but very rarely pitching with RISP. Astros offense should erupt against the consistently awful Edison Volquez.

If Jays win today do they start Price next game or Dicky? And then Stro in game 5? I know it is thinking way ahead but saw Gibby say this was a possibility if they won tonight.
Not sure. Dicky has pitched well and deserves a start. But also gotta like the chances Price comes out and pitches his ass off in game 4 after what he failed to do in game 1.
Gonna be interesting if they can win tonight. Bullpen is fucked though. Won't be an unclenched asshole in Toronto for the rest of the playoffs until the 27th out no matter the lead with this bullpen.
