so i think it'll be ok. all that and Umps get 10% of calls wrong any way. http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/playoff-umps-are-screwing-up-a-tenth-of-balls-and-strikes/ i love watching this Ohlendorf pitch .. i feel like i'm watching a colourized refurbished replay of a 1920s game. | ||

They want Stroman starting on proper rest. Not Price on 3 days or 5 days. So Price is their lefty out of the bullpen. Shin Soo Choo was 2-2 against Dickey. before the game started in 14 plate appearances Shin-Soo Choo has 4 hits and 3 walks for a .500 OBP against Dickey. he has a .370 OBP against Price while striking out more than 1/3 of the time against Price. Price didn't get hit very hard. One of the doubles he gave up was a ground ball through the left side of an incorrectly shifted infield. When you are shifting on half the players occasionally the shift gets fucked up and Price was a victim of a positioning mistake by his infield. I somewhat disagree with removing Dickey, but I'm not really bent out of shape about it. | ||

http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-draw-monster-ratings-for-game-3-of-alds/ not a single canadian team has won a major professional championship since the blue jays won the world series in October of 1993 ..... The Montreal Expos, Vancouver Grizzlies, and Quebec Nodiques all left... i guess canada is desperate for a winner and is rallying around the blue jays. | ||

and the dream NLCS is Cubs v. Dodgers. this gives New York , Chicago and Southern Cal. 1 team each. the dream world series is New Yankees versus the Chicago Cubs with the Cubbies winning in 7.

 try that same thing at Comiskey or Fenway. your comment has a lot of truth to it dude .. no need to back off Stroman throwing the perfect pitch against a guy trying to bunt.. .a high hard inside rising fastball. | ||

Then 3 errors, Bautista not even half way to first when the ball hits the 4th deck and twice the benches empty. Insane Also, Rogers center has to be by far the loudest building in any sport. Would love to see a decibel meter | ||

The Referes waved the play off before the runner scored so in theory, the run shouldn't count. This and also the fact that the arms of Cho was out of the batting box when he got hit. Also... This is one of the most insane baseball game i watched in my life.. wow... !!!! Go Jays !! | ||
