I'm pretty sure that's Wade Davis swinging his kid around, but I don't know whose kid it is that he hit.
Alright enough of these lame ass birds.
National League Baseball is up tonight and the Mets have Herbal Essense model Jacob deGrom on the mound.
Be afraid.
The only pitchers that should think about picking up a baseball in that bullpen tonight are Harvey, Syndergaard, and Familia.
Edit: Maybe a Dodger fan can answer this...but do you think Kershaw would be able to come out of the pen for an inning or two tonight?
We can only hope, friend.
Oh, people might be interested to know there's a new 3DS baseball game out in Japan - Famista Returns. It's pretty old-school (Famista became the original RBI Baseball).
Only just started but I've got my favorite rookie pitcher from this year's Fighters team going up against...aliens and some team of Namco weirdos. It's glorious.
Gotta have a JP or unlocked 3DS, though.

Please don't remind me of the state of affairs RE:Baseball games.
I still haven't jumped into current gen (unless you count the WiiU) and I don't need to be reminded that I can't get a handheld baseball game for my US 3DS and pretty soon The Show will be relegated to just the PS4. It sucks.
I'm desperately clinging to the remaining years of Japanese baseball games before they go all mobile.

AHHHHH. I would literally buy a new 3DS just for a sweet mobile baseball game. If my home purchase goes through, I'm going to have a lot of time on Busses for the next couple of years.

It's an oldie, but apropos given his performance last night.

Yeah, it was just beer spray and not a huge deal.
But the can did fly over their heads, it says, so I can understand the anger and the mother's fear. If someone just sprayed a bit and it hit the baby, it'd be a different story.
As I said, though: Toronto fans are normally docile and well behaved. This would've happened anywhere else. It just happened here with a select amount of drunks like every city has. US media acts like we're heathens when it's happened before in their country. I've never thrown anything onto a field or rink, nor do I think it's a good thing to do -- especially cans -- but yeah.
There's some really good Japanese stuff to get. TBH Vita has the best baseball games & is easier b/c it's region free w/o hacks (if you have a Vita the Power Pro and Pro Yakyuu Spirits games are incredible, Pro Yakyuu Spirits is (IMO) better than the Show). Potential downsides are: no MLB teams and obviously the games are all in Japanese. There are guides (spiritstranslation.com) to get through the language barrier but tbh you have more fun with them if you can learn a little Japanese baseball lingo (like which characters are for first base, shortstop, etc. etc.).

That's Johnny Gomes hitting Jason Vargas's kid.
I love how all these media types, Ken Rosenthal especially, are up on their pulpit lecturing the city of Toronto right now for the trash throwing. Keep crying, nobody cares what you think.
Throwing stuff after the home run was dumb, but I have no problems with the field being littered after that ridiculous call
Ha love it!

Maybe some rain tonight for the game. But humid

Anywhere else? I've never seen beer cans fly at playoff games in Arizona, San Diego, Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Texas or Oakland. Weird.

I wouldn't see why not. It be like a bullpen session for Kersh. Plus it's a Win or Go Home scenario

I've watched enough hockey to know that this doesn't hold true in Canada.
Even Yankees bleacher creatures(notorious for hounding opposing teams fans) are not people to litter the field. Red Sox and Phillies games I've never experienced that either.

Man, Gomes' wife looks a lot like Davis' wife. I couldn't tell who was under the mask.

I prefer L'Astros. That's how my pops and I referred to them since ~07

The Royals are going with Edinson Volquez in game 1? Lol. Have fun dude.

Articles mentioned it having happened before in Atlanta. Also Boston, I believe.

I'm not aware of those incidents. But it still doesn't justify the behavior yesterday or make it okay, does it?

Ken Rosenthal mentioned them in his article. LINK
There's also been talk about Yankee Stadium in years passed, and stories about Yankees fans littering the opposing teams' bullpen.
Alas, no: It does not make it okay or justify it. I'm not defending the actions of the drunken idiots; I'm just saying that Toronto isn't the only place where it's happened so we're not the MLB's heathens. Most fans are like me, classy and respectful, but people have too much to drink and this happens. I hardly ever talk during games, let alone bother opposing teams or throw shit on the field.
Sure doesn't.
But he did answer your question where you stated it doesn't happen anywhere else.

I had a dream that the Dodgers won tonight's game with 70 runs. It's a bad omen.

That's great.
You do realize the Jays are on fire right now, and the last time these 2 teams faced off, the Jays went on to beat them, and went on a 11 game win streak.
And to top it all off, Volquez pissed off the Jays. So please get prepared to lose the series. It's not gonna be pretty.

Just for reference: In the post you quoted, I meant to say, "This could've happened anywhere else," not "would've."

What's with Canadians and the bizarre inferiority complex towards America? It was on full display last night and it's still going on this morning?
"It's not beer bottles, it's beer cans! Quit making it sound so severe!"
"We're not the only people who do it, it's happened in other cities as well!"
No, you don't in anyway try to justify the situation, even though you can post disclaimers saying you do not condone the behaviour. What you should be doing is quit trying to even remotely justify the actions at the Dome last night, and drop the talk about it.
Born and raised in Toronto, for anyone who thinks I'm some sort of patriot doing a round of chest bumping. Just a fed up Canadian who is embarrassed from yesterday.

Okay, that will definitely all happen again. Surely. 100% chance.
P.S. I love how your example of "on fire right now" is a team that barely beat the Rangers in a 5 game series. En fuego, indeed...

And the Royals barely beat the Astros.
Yeah I guess going down 0-2 and then going on the road for 2, then taking the series isn't on fire. OK.
CosmicQueso

It could have, sure.
But it still doesn't make it okay. I know you don't think it's okay either.
It just doesn't need to be justified.
It was a smear on an otherwise great and crazy game.
There should be no defense for the idiots and I don't see why anyone would want to defend them. Must be some fans that went to their first game.
That being said the mass majority of fans threw nothing on the field.

I'd say they're on a hot streak and on the upswing. I just hope it continues in/against KC.
Why?
Because Terry Collins is awful and needs to go.
I'm glad he's satisfied with having made it to the playoffs and thinks a win would be a nice extra. But that's a crappy attitude to have.
I don't give a crap if the Mets are outgunned in game 5. If I'm the manager, I want to win all the time, every time, and I'm not satisfied just showing up.
