Hope rules all!

 

[outunderthestars]

Jays pitching was fabulous tonight!

agreed. They really only gave up one bad hit and kept saving the mostly anemic bats...

 

[3N16MA]

Britton will be well rested for ST.

 

[Loco4Coco]

How long into the 1st Jays vs Rangers game until we hear a "USA" chant?

 

[krae_man]

My legs are shaking

LOL some guy has a sign that says "Rogers I will switch to Bell if you don't sign Edwin"

"I'm paying rogers a $800/month for my phone internet and cable and I'll start paying bell $800/month for my phone, internet and cable unless you sign a player who may decide to sign somewhere else no matter how much money you offer him"

 

[CygnusXS]

Excited for Blue Jays fever to return to Vancouver

 

[Frozenprince]

don't some of you loom silly trusting buck right about now. this is a one and done game, there is no bullet saving! bring in your damn best. stop saving it for later when there will be no later.

Or at the very least, have the guy up and throwing and ready to go at any moment.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

The Cards may not be in the playoffs, but Matheny management is in full effect!

Showalter whhhhhhy.

 

[Dominican Power]

Yanquis should sign EE.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Lawd, Edwin crushed the shit outta that ball.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

That no one will see since they buried them at times no one will see

Oh shit I remember, you're right. Isn't game one like 3pm Thursday?

LOL it is, and noon the next day. Fuck off, MLB.

 

[PROh1bited]

Hugs JAYS-GAF. 11 more to go!!!

 

[hydragonwarrior]

I waited 22 years to see Toronto in the playoffs. Crazy to see them in back to back playoffs now. Just got to hope they can take it all the way again this year.

If Bautista learns how to counterpunch, we'll win it this year.

 

[Frozenprince]

Prepare yourself.

For we are ready.

not sure if Texans would be able to spell it.

 

[Hogger]

Holy fuck Sheffield's tie

Fuck making the playoffs..I want to see a championship in Canadian sports in my lifetime.
And fuck the CFL doesn't count
Wipes tears off my face

 

[Sanjuro]

The Wild Card playoff is absolutely a disgrace to the game.

Teams what work hard to win their division are robbed of one champagne and Bud Lite celebration.

 

[Frozenprince]

Oh shit I remember, you're right. Isn't game one like 3pm Thursday?

LOL it is, and noon the next day. Fuck off, MLB.

Red Sox draw better ratings.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yanquis should sign EE.

You can have Joey Bats. Just let us have Edwin

 

[kris.]

not sure if Texans would be able to spell it.

its the only thing they can spell

c'mon son

 

[BigJonsson]

Just had to get to the 2nd starter lol

Edwing!

 

[Gengahrrr]

MLB: " If you aren't Chicago or Boston you can fuck right off mate"

 

[3N16MA]

Yanquis should sign EE.

He will be looking for a massive payday and the Yanks lose a pick if it got that far.

Maybe if he wasn't going to be 34 in a few months.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Yea it's crap. The #1 seed for the AL and hidden at times. And now you have a heated rematch. But TV only cares about the Cubs and Sox so good luck watching it live.

 

[Dominican Power]

We need a DH.

 

[Sanjuro]

We need a DH.

Ortiz.

 

[Frozenprince]

The Rangers draw meh ratings. The Red Sox are a national draw.

That's just how it is.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

TBS panel unanimously putting Buck on blast.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Just went to the MLB website and saw a "Showalter makes smart calls with bullpen" headline.

 

[pestul]

Lol @ these celebrations.

I did see Osuna there so I hope he's okay.

 

[User 479360]

Fuck yes! What a finish!

Please re-sign, Edwin.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Bucky Boy.

 

[Hogger]

Lol @ these celebrations.

Hilarious but it's fucking weird. Got a lot more beisbol to play

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

The Rangers draw meh ratings. The Red Sox are a national draw.

That's just how it is.

Then play them at the same time. So I can watch the game I care about. 162 games, get to the playoffs and then placed in weekday afternoon games. It's nonsense.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Instead of watching the post-show, just gonna re-watch the Jays vs Rangers Game 5 7th inning again. Magic.

 

[devilhawk]

Remember:

Turner owns the rights to broadcast the ALDS/CS this year. They aren't putting it up on TNT. The only other place would be MLBN, and they don't want both games at the same time splitting the ratings bid for the primetime slot.

 

[Chase17]

Fun game to watch.

Hopefully tomorrow's wild card game delivers as well

 

[Malo]

Yanquis should sign EE.

Naaaaa

 

[User 479360]

Texas is scary, though.

And, how fitting, another bat flip lol

 

[krae_man]

I see everyone remembered their Omni gogs:

 

[Silver Arrows]

See Jays fans?

Optimism rules over all. I had faith in this team and you should too.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Buck presser now on MLBN. He's avoiding the Britton question.

I know it's all about the $$$ but I'd say that baseball is a regional sport in rooting interests that having them going on at the same time wouldn't hurt the ratings at all. I think they'd get more than what they'll get with a noon weekday first pitch.

Well I did say that Travis couldn't hit into a double play so they were going to win.

 

[Slacker]

We've got a lot to learn. Maybe some visiting Toronto fans can show us how to throw crap on the field all game. Currently we just eat and drink the concessions we purchase.

While we're at it give us the local announcers too. Way WAY better (at least for the Rangers) than the TBS guys.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

As stupid as the explanation was, at least Fredi tried to defend not using Kimbrel.

Except for the Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers and Cubs. So if you're unlucky and one of those teams has a slot, you get bumped.

Same reason NFCE teams get Sunday Night every week.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Buck presser now on MLBN. He's avoiding the Britton question.

Cameron speculated that maybe Britton was injured. Makes me wonder if he would do such a thing if like Ned Yost was the manager.

 

[Lexxism]

JJ Cooper @jjcoop36
Buck: "He was available"

Jeff Passan ✔ @JeffPassan
Buck Showalter on Zack Britton: "He was fine."
