Ford would never approve of wasting that much alcohol.

I lol'd

 

[Marz]

This is the catchers fault tbh.

 

[17 Seconds]

terrible luck for the blue jays. umps got it right.

embarrassing display by the few knuckleheads throwing shit on the field.

 

[mdubs]

If people are going to throw they should at least try to hit the umpires instead of hitting innocent people, jeez it's getting scary

 

[Windu]

baseball is great

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Is this Martin's fault?

 

[The_Inquisitor]

is that how it works in baseball? not how it works in hockey. if the ref calls the play dead the play is dead.

Perhaps. But maybe this is better than other sports where one team gets fucked.

Our starter is going to be cold too

 

[The Elite]

Not surprised this happened with the Jays.

It's Toronto sports in a nutshell. Shit always has to go pear shaped at some point. We can still pull it out but this looks ugly on the city. No doubt.

 

[ShaneB]

For the love of God please win.

 

[Timbuktu]

This kind of thing shouldn't be part of baseball

 

[Plinko]

Regardless of the rule, once the ump calls time the play should be dead.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

did one of the ump got hit in his cheek? lol

Lol seriously what the fuck was he chewing? The whole roll of foot-long gun? Half a can of SKOAL? What the dick!?

 

[bananafactory]

Is this Martin's fault?

Sounds like it. Being scored as throwing error

 

[CrocMother]

This is the catchers fault tbh.

Yup. He's the one with the error

 

[lamaroo]

Hope all of the Jays upcoming batters hold their hands straight out over the plate after every pitch.

 

[jman2050]

is that how it works in baseball? not how it works in hockey. if the ref calls the play dead the play is dead.

Umpires have the ability to award the runner extra bases depending on the nature of the dead ball, but I'm not sure if that ability applies in this specific instance.

 

[Mighty Chin]

I thought only Vancouver Fans were classless?

 

[JoseDFrog]

Totally Martin's fault and no one else.

 

[outunderthestars]

It's the right call.

Bull. Once the umpmwaived the play dead it should have been dead.

 

[Lambtron]

Littering the field because of a bad call?

Fuck off Toronto. You deserve to lose.

It's not the first bad time this has happened.

Shit call cost the Jays game 2, so I mean, I'd be pretty fucking pissed too.

 

[Frozenprince]

Jays threw too much of a fit over it. It's in their heads now. Games over.

 

[Kave_Man]

Is this Martin's fault?

It was a fluke 1 in a million thing that happened.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Can't wait for the non stop bitching from "fans" about how "we got screwed" over the next few months.

 

[Anth0ny]

Bat was in the box but the ump is a fucking idiot.

Agreed

You're always going to have the drunk frat boys who will do such a thing. It doesn't matter what city you're in. It makes Toronto look bad, yes, but it would've happened elsewhere...and it has.

I'm not defending it, but it's not abnormal either.

This is Toronto's curse, though. Fuck it. Of course we'll lose on a shitty throw by Martin, who's been good all year.

that is my issue.

 

[lazybones18]

Martin redemption coming

edit: close enough

 

[railGUN]

What if the guy tried to slide and missed the base? He was literally allowed to score unimpeeded because the ump walked onto the field waving his arms. Fucking lol. I can't believe you can do that.

 

[ANuclearError]

The catcher hit choos bat on the throw back to the pitcher. Odor was smart enough to run in for the score. Home plate ump waived the play dead at first but then realized the mistake and corrected. They reviewed the play to make sure Choo was in the box when the bat was hit and he was.

If the catcher hits the batter with the throw back it is still a live ball. Odor was real smart there

OK thanks! Guess I chose an interesting time to watch.

 

[The Elite]

Pinch run? Too soon?

 

[zychi]

Sad to see umps sucked in the nlds and this game too

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Was it like this but with Choo's bat?

 

[SRTtoZ]

They're gonna keep Hamels in too long.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Elvis with that clutch error.

 

[BigAT]

Did you close your eyes during every replay? There was absolutely no play at home to be made, dead ball call or not.

 

[Choomp]

Can't wait for the non stop bitching from "fans" about how "we got screwed" over the next few months.

Hopefully they end up winning so this doesn't happen. Also you better wish the Mets win cause we won't shut up about the Game 2 slide if not

 

[Arkos]

Smoak! Pride of SC. Do some damage son

 

[esmith08734]

Tough call there. Feel for everyone involved. Shitty situation in general.

 

[FTF]

Was it like this but with Choo's bat?

Yup, pretty much exactly like that.

 

[Frozenprince]

Hopefully they end up winning so this doesn't happen. Also you better wish the Mets win cause we won't shut up about the Game 2 slide if not

I'll bitch even if we win.

How is it that Odor was halfway to home plate before the ump called time, yet none of the Blue Jays managed to make a play for the ball in that time? It was a heads up play by Odor, and a dumb play by Sanchez for not playing it.

 

[Montresor]

OMFG YES!!!!


YES!!!!!

 

[Loco4Coco]

Oh oh.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Texas falling apart lol
