OT: 2016 Toronto Blue Jays thread [ALDS: Blue Jays beat Rangers 3-0]

[Lunatik]

Can someone explain to me why baseball players have such a fascination with obscenely ugly haircuts? It's like they're trying to outdo one another.

like hockey players are much better?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

My hair is like Donaldson's.

 

[Anglesmith]

like hockey players are much better?

For the most part, yes, absolutely. You don't see this in hockey:

 

[Anglesmith]

Saunders and Thole with homers against a lefty starter. Who would've thought?

Maybe I won't hate Saunders after all.

 

[Lunatik]

JD has gone deep now too

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Saunders is studding it up.

 

[Anglesmith]

Well, Pillar being Pillar. Hope he didn't shake up his head too much.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

That's a play of the year candidate, wow!

 

[Volica]

Storen getting out of 8th unscathed is nice. Time to put this one to bed.

 

[Anglesmith]

Bedtime storen was a success.

 

[Anglesmith]

Cecil blows the lead in the 8th. Didn't look like himself at all. Got ahead of the first batter but then hit him, then got behind each of the next two and got hit hard. Fly out then homer. Jays down 3-2 trying to get out of the 8th.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I said this the other day, Cecil looks like he didn't work very hard this offseason. Hopefully his conditioning hasn't fallen off.

 

[Anglesmith]

On my other screen, the Jays load 'em up with 1 out and EE in the top of nine.

 

[Anglesmith]

Jays tie it up and take the lead on an error. We may never lose again.

EDIT: Jays lose. Bautista's slide ruled illegal because he stuck out a paw to tap the second baseman's foot.

 

[Lunatik]

that new rue is nothing short or reactionary ********, so ****ing stupid

 

[Kanye]

Eh, that was pretty textbook interference lol.

 

[Anglesmith]

I think it's just a shame. It doesn't look like they would've gotten Edwin there anyway. Makes me wonder, though, what could've been...

Waste of a great start by Aaron Sanchez, too.

That's what really pissed me off about the end call. I mean call jose out and that should be it. Edwin was safe.

Then there's no punishment for the illegal slide, though. I can see why the rules are the way they are.

 

[Anglesmith]

The best part of baseball being back is watching day games at work. Donaldson with a three-run blast.

 

[Anglesmith]

Man, these Jays strike out a ton.

 

[Anglesmith]

Donaldson is injured.

 

[Volica]

Donaldson is injured.

Saw that. Not the best of news.

They have to get more patient at the plate man. They set a team record for K's in a 4 game series

 

[Anglesmith]

And they just blew a second straight game in the 8th. Sigh.

 

[Caribou Lou]

Well a wins a win but this was all Marco Estrada, he looked really good today. The Jays bats still look way behind at this point and I'm not sold on Pillar leading off, Donaldson and Bautista have hit 6 home runs and he's been on base for only 1 of them (only 2 runs scored total)

On the bright side the Jays are undefeated when I watch all 9 innings :p
