OT: All-Purpose Sports Thread IV - EDWIN BAT DROP EDITION (NFL, MLB, etc.)

[Sens of Anarchy]

No Travis. Scrappy hitter to take out of the lead off.

 

[GWNR]

Carerra and Pillar hitting jacks is just too funny. Nice to see the bats.

Rough outing for Happ. Very rare you give up 8 hits and only allow 1 run. He's doing a great job of getting out of innings though, gotta give him that.

If your Texas you lose the first game 10-1 with few base runners and your down 5-1 in game 2 with 9 base runners.

Cecil ...

So saw this link about yesterday's game:

[Sens of Anarchy]

now Upton again with a play close to the fence

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Price is off to another stellar post season start

 

[GWNR]

Cecil ...

Losing Benoit was such a big loss that may haunt us (**** the Yankees).

Osuna being back and looking great is huge though. Biagini can be our 7th inning guy and Liriano can be the middle reliever (though he needs to clearly play better than today - but he played great against the O's).

Hopefully we don't have to see Cecil or Loup

Liriano was sent to hospital with apparent internal bleeding after taking a line drive to the back of the head today so forget him. Best hope for a win on sunday.

 

[Caeldan]

Not convinced Osuna was 100% today watching him in the 9th.
Seemed to be throwing similar to how he was right before he got pulled out of the wildcard game.

We need a complete game shutout from our starter on Sunday I think.

That's a tall order. Have any of our pitchers had a complete game this year?

Nope. Estrada could have obviously with the 10-1 lead but .. no complete games this year.

Sanchez is up next ... I expect them to watch his pitch count so a complete game from him is very unlikely.

 

[Caeldan]

So far so good tonight in Toronto

 

[Langdon Alger]

So far so good tonight in Toronto

You jinxed it!

 

[GWNR]

Sanchez isn't looking good. His ocmmand has been off. Not himself for sure. Looks like it's gonna be a shootout. Getting into their bullpen early is good

 

[Caeldan]

You jinxed it!

I thought that myself

And really hoping we can keep scoring two to their one so Sanchez stays in as long as possible

Big inning for Sanchez! Strikes out the side.

3 more just like that please! Lets go!

 

[littleD]

6-6 bottom of the 7th.

Playoff baseball is so good.

 

[littleD]

Matt Bush just owned the Jays, it was ugly.

Extra innings.

 

[GWNR]

Can someone inform the Jays that they cna hit a single and it cna lead to a run?

Last NINE AB's have been swing-for-the-fences approaches. They've been terrible AB's

 

[Caeldan]

Yeah...
GDT on leafs board got split to two and Jays haven't had a good inning since.

Also not a fan of how Gibson used his BP.
One inning only for Biangini when he was one. Then two pitchers for the next. Now taking Osuna for multiple innings

THat's two days in a row making the wrong call with Grilli.

Grilli looked PHENOMENAL. His slider had so much movement. Let him go a couple. Especially in a close game where our bullpen is depleted of guys who can do multiple innings (Ie: No Liriano)
