Holy crap. I swear that was a dp.
Jumped out of my seat when they screwed that up and heard Donny was headed home

Good for that team from Toronto, but does it really count as a playoff series win when you beat the Texas Rangers? That franchise has historically found more ways to beat themselves rather than the opponent dishing out the overwhelming damage.

When Martin hit that pitch to short. I figured ah crap here we go double play. Then the throw to first was botched and I was ok he's safe so we still have a chance, then they panned to Donaldson coming home and it was holy sh_t what a play.

Intentional walk to EE allowed Donaldson to score from 2nd on a double play ball that was botched at first.

Great Win! I hope they stay hot.

Unbelievable ending to a fantastic game. Who knew baseball could be so consistently fun?

It's a great sport, but it's so much better when there's a lot on the line. Watching games in April can be brutal, but when it counts it's great. So much drama and excitement.

Yep. Emotional investment is the difference maker with baseball.

I like our matchup with Cleveland. The bats have been hot. We've finally gone back to scoring runs with the small ball on top of the homers (ie: Tulo's triple).

The Indians are very good and have been underrated all year. It's no cake walk. They beat Boston because of Boston's pitching. We have better pitching if our starters give QS' and we don't have to rely on our bullpen. Injuries have really crippled us in the pen, especially if Liriano isn't back.

I think we just need to keep playing Blue Jays baseball. Get on top early and control the momentum of the game. That's how we beat Baltimore and Texas.

Same here. I'll admit I got on the bandwagon the past 2-3 seasons but I never realized how fun playoff baseball could be. Maybe because the Jays are a fun team to watch with so many big personalities, I'm not sure. I know some baseball fans get ticked off with Jays players attitudes sometimes, but these guys can back it up with their play.

How ironic is it that it's another Cleveland-Toronto matchup? Let's just hope it goes more favourably than the NBA equivalent did

I always liked watching playoff ball (I do wish Joe Buck was calling our games), but having my team involved is insanely satisfying and so much fun.



Also, the AL won the All-Star game this year. Just sayin...

Estrada named as Game 1 starter.
I'm surprised... would have thought to go to the Stro show so he doesn't get too cold.

Stroman>Estrada>Happ>Sanchez would have been my Game 1-4 picks in that order.

All 4 will pitch their simulated starts this week to keep them warm.
