Blue Jays vs. Royals AL Championship Thread

[Boxcar]

Was Andrus at third

[reedjohnsonfan]

Why isn't there prop betting for this series on SI? I want to see what the O/U of bench clearing incidents is.

[baloojayz]

I think he threw out Odor going to 3rd, can't remember anyone else.

 

It is pretty annoying. But this isn't NL ball

 

It's so annoying because it's so effective. Royals did it all playoffs last year...lead off single is like a guaranteed run.

[Grant77]

Is this a good crew?

 

There's no Joe West or Bob Davidson type, but you never know what you're going to get with umpires. I miss Tim McLelland.

[Boxcar]

iirc the only ump I recall complaining about from that list is Jeff Nelson. Pretty good crew.

Royals/Jays

Mets/Cubs

 

Doesn't get better than that, with or w/o prop bets. O/U prolly at 5 for the Jays series lol

Can the Royals afford to give up baserunners just to send a message? Probably not, but doubt that stops ol' Neddy.

If the Royals hit us first it will always benefit them. A warning could be issued immediately, which would put us at a disadvantage right off the bat.

Well when Volquez gives up 10 runs it won't matter.

[baloojayz]

Well atleast the Royals already showed their colours in the regular season, Jays lockerroom meeting should cover it.

Also, hope the umps expect it and get it right this time.

Laz Diaz is the guy who a few years ago wouldn't let Russell Martin throw new balls back to the pitcher. Said it was a privilege that had to be "earned" with better behaviour lol

 

What did Martin do? Question his strike zone?

Sounds like an old school guy who may tighten up a strikezone against any trying to "show him up" or perhaps even a bat flip?

[ICECOLDBEER]

Toronto Mayor just did a Bautista-Esque bat flip in response to Kansas City mayor. Pretty funny.

 

Link if you care.

Would have been more fun seeing Rob Ford give that speech. Yours truly, captain obvious!

I was thinking about him yesterday... what would have happened if some narcissist umpire had been the one to make that infamous throw off Choo?

[DonnysManbun]

Whoever is in Tory's pr team does a great job because that guy is base level when it comes to sports lol. He once said "go Jays Go raptors go Argos I think thats it is there anyone else?" at the end of an interview with I believe Tim and Sid.

 

Props for trying though

[FrozenRopes]

Ya, it's a very good crew, as it should be in the ALCS. Even Nelson is not bad.

[HERPDERP]

Should have been Norm Kelly. The guy has a rabid following.

[DonnysManbun]

Was Nelson not the guy who had a horrible game at rc this year? Threw out Sanchez for hitting alcides in the knee?

[DonnysManbun]

Nevermind, wolf.

That was Jim Wolf I believe

[Sammy225]

Any word on who is doing the broadcast commentary for the series... If i have to listen to Harold Reynolds again i am going to loose it.

Joe Buck, Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci call the action for the ALCS action from the booth with reports from Ken Rosenthal and Erin Andrews.

[HERPDERP]

Joe Buck' date=' Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci call the action for the ALCS action from the booth with reports from Ken Rosenthal and Erin Andrews.[/quote']

 

I'd honestly take commentary from Schilling more so than Reynolds.

Do you think the Jays will be able to adapt to real grass? The speed difference could be a factor here. You have to be a real athlete to be able to play on turf.

That's honestly the worst and the most bias crew we could hope for. I wanted Matt Vasgersian.

[Dr. Dinger]

Reynolds is such an ignorant moron. I really can't comprehend why they keep him around. Gotta have a token black guy, apparently!

[Jonn]

f*** I was hoping they would replace Reynolds with Smoltz.

I really wanted Vasgersian.. Buck should stick to doing football and whatever else he does, Reynolds should go away.. Harold led all 2B in errors from 1987-1990, yet won 3 gold gloves.. voters must've been stupid or biased back then. And he's leading the broadcasts in idiocy.. no idea on Verducci.
