What did he say?

I'm assuming he's talking about Zauns' picking on Estrada for that one at bat. He basically accused Estrada and Martin of losing the game for the Jays due to the pitch selection to Lindor (back-to-back change ups). Meanwhile, in the post-game interview, when asked it didn't even seem like Lindor was waiting on the change up. It was one bad pitch, but Zaun has to realize that you can't win a fucking game with no runs. Estrada was great.

It also didn't help that Jamie soft-balled Zaun's setup for that. He had already talked about it earlier in the game, you'd think he would have something more insightful to say other than repeating the same stupid rip of Estrada.

Eh, that's really the raison d'être of the quote unquote sports analyst. Throw a hot take to stoke interest (visits, page views, TV and radio ratings, ad clicks etc).

As for moving Martin down, he's currently hitting .050 in the postseason. He absolutely cannot stay where he is in the line-up.

 

[Solo]

You gotta feel for Estrada. Pitches a gem of a game and gets no support whatsoever.

 

[pestul]

Quite a lopsided pitching match up today, so the Jays better take this one. The playoffs always show that these facts rarely amount to anything though..

Well, they got Gibbons as a manager. I bet he will stay batting 5th.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Only way Toronto wins this series is if JDon and Edwin put the entire team on their backs.

Martin, Pillar and Joey all look lost.

Seen Donaldson do it before, so it can certainly happen, but the Jays have to get out big and early. Trying to come back against the CLE bullpen is not a winning play for them.

 

[Corran Horn]

I thought that was "Kluuuuuu"

I thought it was "booooo urnssss"

 

[EarlyEarly]

Yea Gibbons flat out said they got where they are with him at 5 so he's not moving him from there.

 

[User 479360]

Last night's game was disappointing. The Jays had so many chances with runners on, but couldn't capitalize because of Kluber. Then, Estrada -- who was great too -- makes one mistake and it's over.

I guess that's postseason baseball, though, and the Indians deserve credit.

We need to win today, though! C'mon, Jays!!!!!

I wore my Blue Jays shirt yesterday, and had it on while I ran errands. I wore it for most of the game, but took it off and changed into clothes I didn't care about to just lounge around. Then Cleveland scored...

I have a dumb jersey superstition too. And after last night, I'm not wearing it the rest of the playoffs lol.

Cubs putting Zastrysny on the roster and taking off La Stella.

 

[PROh1bited]

Tulo moving up to 5th today.

 

[CrispyBoar]

This is the dumbest thing I've heard of in a while.

How, exactly? Someone can be injured by that.

I guess when a player lines a foul ball into the stands at 100mph they should be automatically out. It's all about the safety of the fans.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I hope Dave plays Chooch instead of Grandal today.

 

[Horsemama1956]

Tulo moving up to 5th today.

Love Martin but cringed when guys were on base with him coming up and then 2 outs for Tulo changed things. I'm guessing tonight might be a blowout for the Jays. All they needed was one hit last night.

 

[shwimpy]

I hope Dave plays Chooch instead of Grandal today.

would be a no-brainer decision.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

That doesn't mean you should be out. The problem is you equate the slipping of the bat as an amateur move, when it happens quite a few times. Just because you're an MLB player, doesn't mean you're immune to grip issues, your argument completely falls apart with that assumption.

 

[Choomp]

Once again, how did Laz Diaz get that game last night? Everyone knows he has a terrible zone. The strike 3 call on Upton was pretty abysmal. Not saying it effected the outcome of the game but it got pretty bad

My mother is all in conspiracy mode today about the umps again because of his abysmal performance. It's always a losing battle trying to convince my mother that they're equally bad for both sides.. :/

Then again, she's a Canadian Trump supporter as well.

 

[PROh1bited]

Travis out for playoffs. Smoak in.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I need some insider knowledge on that lasagna.

 

[PROh1bited]

It's quiet around here

 

[Ricker]

Cmon Jays,time to score some runs at least...no more being shutout please.

 

[Montresor]

Why was Bautista called out?

...........

 

[EarlyEarly]

The order switch worked

 

[PROh1bited]

Why was Bautista called out?

...........

Cause he was out....

 

[Montresor]

Cause he was out....

The replay clearly showed the 1st base man didn't keep his foot on the bag. He wasn't out.

Edit: Ah you know what, my casual side may be showing.

The 1bman didn't have to keep his foot on the bag the whole time. All that matters is that the moment the 1bman caught the ball, his foot was on the bag at the time, right? So it doesn't matter if he eventually lifted his foot off.

 

[PROh1bited]

Just a few more games of Saunders.

The replay clearly showed the 1st base man didn't keep his foot on the bag. He wasn't out.

The replay clearly showed he was barely on the bag. His cleats dragged on the corner of the bag.

Yeah, as long as it's touching at any moment with the ball in hand he's out.

Jays fans man

 

[Montresor]

Jays fans man

Lol.

 

[pestul]

So another 2-0 game in the works?

EDIT: Ruh oh, not scoring first again Jays. Not good.

 

[PROh1bited]

Cmon Jays

 

[EarlyEarly]

Yup. Lets go now

 

[PROh1bited]

YES A run

 

[eyeless]

good ol mvp

 

[snack]

JD NO WHISKEY

 

[pestul]

Come on guys.. more RISP. Get er' done Jose.

 

[PROh1bited]

Fucking Jose.....

 

[BigAT]

Joey Bats Ks doing some real work this postseason.

 

[pestul]

Trash Jose. He's right off..

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Tomlinson isn't long for this world with that many pitches thrown already.

 

[Esque7]

Damn Davis stealing like a bandit

 

[EarlyEarly]

Lindor is going to stay killing these guys

 

[pestul]

Jays can't hit again. Great.

 

[User 479360]

No kidding

Please stop sucking.

 

[Alucard]

Jays feeling tense. I hope they can salvage this somehow.

Zero chance.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Regardless of how this all turns out, I expect significant coaching changes for the Jays next year. I reckon it's most likely that at least Jacoby is out. The Jays batters have been making opposing pitchers look like Cy Young winners all season long.

Taking nothing away from the Clevelands, your pitching staff is aces.

 

[EarlyEarly]

I guess they should call Davis out on that one for losing the bat...

Edit: WTF is this guy doing?
