Blue Jays Discussion: And the off-season begins (list of FA's in Post #1)

[Daisy Jane]

why the everloving name of all that's holy would you bunt that?

 

[Schenn]

What the ****? Bunting with 2 strikes? This is the hill you're gonna die on?

In the 9th inning of game 7 of the world series. Like wow.

 

[tp71]

My goodness Madden has overmanaged the crap out of this and the last game.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Wow they got him, Lindor is amazing!!!!


Now time to walk it off

 

[Dr.Funk]

Lindor for MVP

 

[Apotheosis]

Lindor has quickly become one of my favourite players. What a play!

Was a pathetic attempt by Baez. Man if he would have gotten that down that would have been an epic way of winning the series.

 

[Daisy Jane]

wow.... Drah. Mah.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Lindor up 3rd in the 9th. Only makes sense he's going to hit a walkoff homerun after that play

 

[The Nemesis]

Joe Maddon is the last person I expected to make a boneheaded smallball decision like that.

 

[Revolt]

Crazy inning....

 

[Canada4Gold]

I don't mind the bunt actually. I'm anti-bunt, but I like squeezes, he gets that down right the Cubs are winning. But yeah it's a risky play with 2 strikes

 

[BayStreetBully]

What an epic game with chance of walk off.

 

[Dr.Funk]

What is Maddon doing?

There isn't even fumes left in Chapman's tank, it is bone dry.

 

[nilan30]

Neutrinos would not have tried to bunt there

 

[Leaftors]

Lindor up 3rd in the 9th. Only makes sense he's going to hit a walkoff homerun after that play

kids incredible.

its a great day to like baseball... what a game.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Who calls a suicide in that scenario? I don't understand...

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Halloween is over, Joe. No need to act like Showalter anymore. That bunt call is inexcusable.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Lindor has quickly become one of my favourite players. What a play!

Same. If the Indians win, I'll be happy for him.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Chapman again?
this isn't good.

 

[Apotheosis]

Same. If the Indian win, I'll be happy for him.

I would kill to have someone like that in the Jays line up.

I'm fine with that bunt if it's not a 2-strike count. On 2 strikes I'd much rather take the optimal outcome array of strikeout/ball-in-play/foul ball vs taking the foul ball to keep the PA alive off the table.

 

[ECanuck]

What's the cubs manager smoking?

 

[Daisy Jane]

Who calls a suicide in that scenario? I don't understand...

it's a suicide because of the count? (or the situation?)

 

[Rysto]

Who calls a suicide in that scenario? I don't understand...

That was a safety squeeze, hence it not being a double play. But still ridiculous.
