Blue Jays GDT: *ALCS GM 2* @ CLE | Sat, Oct 15 | 4pm ET/1pm PT | Happ vs Tomlin

[The Nemesis]

Way to use those sunglasses, Edwin.

In the studio, Zaun is probably screaming about flip-downs as we speak.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Lindor is going to be like Alcides Escobar of last year except he is way better.

 

[PG Canuck]

Of course that lands as a base hit.

 

[Dr.Funk]

For now I'll blame it on the sun, but you're absolutely right. The meatballs this guy is putting up there are full of home-run goodness. This is why I posted my first post back there. If the conditions were normal, we'd at least have 2 hits on this guy already.

Indians played Edwin well too. Most of the time when you hit it right up the middle it's a base hit.

 

[Gargyn]

Looked catchable

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I was expecting Tulo to get that one.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh my god, Ripken, shut up. It's like the broadcast is intent on not having a single moment that's not filled by inane commentary.

 

[Loosie]

Looked catchable

That was just out of Tulo's reach.

 

[PG Canuck]

Nice start for Happ.

 

[Eyedea]

I don't think taking off the sunglasses helped either.

 

[The Nemesis]

Looked catchable

It was just beyond his reach. It looked like maybe he was briefly distracted by the flying chunk of bat coming his direction as well.

 

[no13matssundin]

Nice work Jays.

 

[Dr.Funk]

Oh my god, Ripken, shut up. It's like the broadcast is intent on not having a single moment that's not filled by inane commentary.

If I didn't know better I'd swear he had never played a second baseball in his life. He is totally clueless.

 

[no13matssundin]

Ok, the sun is gone from the mound. Time to pound Tomlin.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Nice Happ.

pls. score runs.

Pinball.

 

[The Nemesis]

If I didn't know better I'd swear he had never played a second baseball in his life. He is totally clueless.

That's the frustrating thing. This isn't johnny benchwarmer who played 2 years of pro ball but talks like a 20 year expert. This is Cal Freaking Ripken Jr. One of the best players at his position ever.

and it's not even like the problem that great players often have coaching. If he can talk about a concept, he should be able to explain it clearly and rationally.

 

[PG Canuck]

He might be safe.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I think he is safe. But I can't believe they made that play.

 

[Loosie]

safe?

 

[LeafsMonster]

He's safe

 

[Ropesman]

man jose is realllllly slow

 

[Yeah15]

Looks like he just brushes the base right before his foot leaves, definitely not overturnable

 

[no13matssundin]

That is safe.

 

[PG Canuck]

Looked like Napoli just clipped it tbh

 

[Daisy Jane]

he's safe!
