Atta boy GoGo and nice pick Smoak, that is a tough play with the runner coming at your back.

Made possible only by the fact he is a lefty I think. Trying to catch that with your left hand would have been brutal.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Nice job to get out of that quickly. Hopefully the offense has some spark now.

Time for Edwin to get going.

 

[tp71]

You really think guys getting out after a 3-0 count is that rare?

Right now JB and Edwin aren't that dangerous, and Texas just proved that. Pitch around JD and get Jose to pop up.

I'd rather see the runners even attempted to be advanced by Saunders rather than him sit on a hittable 3-0 pitch, but that's just me. When you score 2 runs through 18 innings I'd start taking some chances with getting the ball in play.

Thats the thing. You're seeing the hindsight of it.

The pitcher just threw 7 straight balls. 4 to the guy previous and 3 to you. You're going to swing there?

If he threw a high ball for ball four and he popped out, you'd be lambasting him "Why'd he swing?! Take the pitch idiot!"

He made the right call to not swing at that 4th pitch. Prove to me you can throw a strike after 7 balls. No way in hell would I want the batter to move the bat in that situation.

Come on guys - how many opportunities you need

I'd understand if it was a nasty change up and he swung, but I'm sure Saunders could recognize a hittable fastball rather than an above the zone fastball.

The Jays don't have the luxury of having guys prove it to them, they need to prove it themselves.

Holy **** Kyle Lowry, it's not baseball but wow!!!!

 

[TF97]

One of the most frustrating Tulo at bats ever

 

[BertCorbeau]

Be nice if this team could protect the plate a little.

 

[Bomber0104]

Tulo...

(facepalm)

 

[tp71]

Alright smoak, keep it rolling

 

[SDig14]

That was an AB.

 

[BertCorbeau]

[MJ65]

Smoak - the slugger, good job

 

[Bomber0104]

Boom!

Well, I'm gonna disagree with you no matter what. I respect your right to differ. Appreciate you sticking to your guns.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Had a feeling there

 

[Eyedea]

Game tying 3, game winning HR lol.

 

[Muston Atthews]

How's your dad Justin Smoak!!!!

 

[TF97]

This is why I have been arguing with some of you guys for months over Smoak vs Cola

 

[tp71]

Just get this team rolling Smoak
