Crap~

Dang. Almost had a badly needed quick inning against the top of their lineup.
Then that.

 

[The Big Swede13]

Throw him a breaking ball. Judge cant hit one to save his life

 

[tmlms13]

I’ve always wondered that, because I would totally try to do it to get on base.

"A swing is an attempt at a pitch, that is not a bunt. That includes what is referred to as a “checked swing” or “half swing.” It is up to the judgment of the umpire(s) if the batter attempted at a pitched ball."

A fake swing like that is not an attempt at a pitch

 

[TopChedder]

f*** Judge
f*** Yankees
f*** all of NY and the asshat fans

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Ryu put that one on a platter for Judge. Straight up BP for a hitter that good.

 

[tmlms13]

Jansen becomes the 8th blue jay this game to swing at ball 4

 

[Canada4Gold]

Sucks for Taillon but ruining the Yankees pen the 1st game of this series might be key

 

[Nineteen67]

How many watched strike 3 on the next pitch.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Need to take advantage of them and hammer their bullpen

So if you were a really quick thinker and a pitch was so far outside that you knew the catcher had no chance and you swung at it as it goes by that counts but anything else is a big nope.

 

[habamillions]

King is decent. Have to get on him right away before he gets into a groove. He went 6 scoreless innings in a game vs the jays not that long ago

 

[zeke]

OK well use this gift. Wreck their bullpen for the series.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Hate seeing the injury but getting into the Yankees pen early could really cripple them.

 

[Canada4Gold]

King doesn't look that great either control wise.

 

[phillipmike]

King’s stuff is nasty when he controls it.

If you can think of that that fast then by all means. But you'd probably have to have that in the back of your mind every time you are in that potential situation before the actual pitch.

Probably better to focus on getting an actual hit.

 

[Canada4Gold]

That was officially a swinging strike. Vladdy swung in the wrong direction 3 seconds after the pitch

 

[Del Preston]

What's the deal with this fan behind home plate holding a #96 Moorcroft jersey?

If you were facing Rick Ankiel in the middle of his pitching crisis you probably should have that in mind every pitch because he did it every other pitch. The issue is he probably never had 2 strikes on you because he got to 4 balls first.

Someone on reddit is saying he works at a hospital in some capacity. Super annoying though.

 

[zeke]

Great framing by Danny to get that K.

 

[The Nemesis]

Seems like it doesn’t work…

You have to use the stream through the Blue Jays website or MLB's app. They black out online streams of terrestrial radio carriers to force it.

He was there earlier in the season and it was annoying then too. It's like "we see you buddy. now sit down and watch the damn game. You paid for a ticket for baseball, not to show us that you have a Leafs jersey with a non-player name on it."
