Gurn Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 ^ Major League Baseball? Bush league. If the NHL tried this it would get months of derision from almost everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I have a feeling Boston is letting the Yankees win, because they rather face the Yankees than the Jays in a wild card game. Boston’s last two series are against the Orioles and Nationals. Two “easy” series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worries me a bit more that that is the fact that the Rays have clinched and knowing what I do about them, I could see them fielding the "B" team in the final series against the Yanks. The fact that there's now bad blood between the teams just reinforces that worry.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 BTW: It was nice to see the Jays get back in the win column last night, but the W overshadowed a couple of brutal baserunning mistakes. First, Grichuk, tries to stretch a double into a triple and makes the third out at 3rd base.....and then a couple innings later, George Springer is still standing on 3rd after Vladdy hits into a double play. I'm not sure if that's on Springer or Luis Rivera, but both blunders are absolutely inexcusable in the midst of a Wild Card race.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the mistakes that should not happen after the midway part of the season. Throwing the ball 3 feet over the first baseman's head will happen through out the year, but you better not be throwing the ball to first, when the runner is heading for second. tldr- mechanical errors happen thinking errors shouldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 7th, the Yankees have runners on 2nd and 3rd with Aaron Judge at bat....Adam Ottavino strikes Judge out....except that it was a foul tip that Christian Vazquez drops....Judge gets another chance and takes advantage, hitting a 2 run double.... But the Vazquez drop was obviously on the transfer. Zero doubt about it, but some some reason, the Red Sox don't challenge.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiznak Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Not a good time for Vladdy Jr. to be struggling right now. Still a game back of the Red Sox, but the Mariners are now ahead of us with a half of a game. Tomorrow is not going to get any better with Cole on the mound.

RUPERTKBD Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Yeah, the bats picked a bad time to go cold.....even the 2 wins against the Twinkies were underwhelming. As much as I hate to do it, I have to give the Yankee hitters a lot of credit. the bloop single by Rizzo came off of a good pitch and the Stanton homer came off a pitch that was far enough inside that it should have tied up most hitters... It looks pretty dismal now.....Gerrit Cole starting tonight and the Jays in a must-win..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Looks more and more like the Jays waited too long to shore up the bullpen. Gave away too many games, earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
