Blue Jays GDT: *ALCS GM 3* vs CLE | Mon, Oct 17 | 8pm ET/5pm PT | Bauer vs Stroman

[JS19]

Martin you rally killer.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Martin come on man

 

[TimeZone]

Shocking.

 

[Ropesman]

annnnnnd martin strikes again

 

[Pi]

Yep, Russell can groundout and strikeout.

 

[Leafsdude7]

I think that classifies as a little more than a "cut"

Indeed. As mentioned, that was grotesque. Horrific, really. Wonder if they froze the pinky before the game, too. Hard to think anyone could have that kind of pain tolerance.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

The Martin Special. Men in scoring position? Better groundout.

 

[JS19]

Kluber on short rest would be good news.

Edit: in game four I mean

LOL, saying Kluber on short rest being good news is like saying Kershaw on short rest is good news. He's still their ace.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Martin, you're breaking my heart.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Two more stranded runners.

Really is getting frustrated.

What was the statistic they just said? 1 for their last 21 with runners in scoring position. Embarrassing.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Ah Martin. Dang it.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

"Classiness" is arbitrary and overrated. Who cares, they're just fans there for a baseball game. Leave the moralizations for things other than sports.

I'm old school and it's something that's been passed down for a while in the game, so eh it's just my opinion and i'll stick to it.

Fans are great and all but there is a different vibe you feel when you are in montreal than you are in philly, people prefer one over the other ofc. So it really depends on what you prefer.

 

[no13matssundin]

Lol yes it is. He just has to stitch it up and not play baseball for a bit. That's it.

Leaf rocket is right. That was free-flowing blood. That wasn't a simple "stitch-it-up"... that was easily serious.

 

[bigred50]

I would have risked the blood ball from Bauer, instead of forcing them into the bullpen in that situation. Meh.

This.

 

[Rysto]

LOL, saying Kluber on short rest being good news is like saying Kershaw on short rest is good news. He's still their ace.

Yes, but all pitchers are significantly worse on short rest. We have to face him again; I much prefer it to be on three days rest.

 

[Leafsdude7]

One has to note that part of the problem with this offensive slump this series is simply that Martin has been up for a good number of the RISP chances. Whether that's bad luck or bad lineup management I'll leave up to everyone else to argue about.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

That ending picture said it all about the cheering

AYYYYY that's what im talking about!

 

[Shadow Journal]

I hope this is sarcasm, cuz if it isn't..

100% serious. The guy cut his finger on a drone before the game. It's not a life-threatening injury, and cool he tried to play through it but whatever it's his job. I don't get why people are all emotional over the fact that the fans cheered him leaving. They may have been cheering for the effort, or cheering that he's out of the game; either way, I don't get the over-dramatic reactions to it. It's a baseball game and a relatively minor unrelated finger injury.

If ever there was a time to use the term "virtue signalling."

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Lol yes it is. He just has to stitch it up and not play baseball for a bit. That's it.

As the saying goes common sense isn't common anymore

 

[Belieber]

If they cant win this one they deserve nothing.

Which is why Martin shouldn't be batting 5th.

 

[Ropesman]

If our hitters cant take advantage of the situation that has just been handed to them they will be all out of excuses

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

make sure your display is set to a proper hz it helps from what I know. and you can resize the screen as well when you have the displays menu open at the bottom.

I mean it keeps getting out of full screen. The resolution is fine.

A few years ago I sliced my index finger open on a can and thankfully only needed two stitches. Luckily it was on my catching hand (left) so I could still pitch, but every throw back from the catcher caused some pain. I can only imagine how painful that was for Bauer. I have a lot of respect for him after tonight's performance.
