GDT - Wild Card Game - Baltimore vs Toronto - 12 WINS TO GO!

[Stangstag]

If you want to get jacked before the game, just the watch the bottom of the 7th vs Texas last year.

 

Still have that whole game saved onto an external HDD. Gonna keep that one forever

I havent seen that throwback helmet hit ever again, its so f***ing rare

[Governator]

That's because he didn't the helmet.

[BigCecil]

I think we'd be f***ed late in the game anyway if we're down in the 9th lol.

 

True, But you have to figure that Britton is long overdue for a poor outing. At least that's my secondary prayer. My first is that our bats show up and its a non issue.

 

Aside from flipping Tulo and Martin I think Gibby posted the best line up possible.

[Inklink]

Downside is if Jose is replaced for defense late and lead is blown you lose his bat.

Big problem with Stro start is it allows Kim to hit, Trumbo to def. not play field, Bourn to play, etc. Yeah, sure subs can be made post-Liarano but man, imagine if game starts with Kim hit to RF, etc. I get the feeling Francisco will be in by fifth but that may be too late. This is the strongest Orioles lineup, at least compared to one facing Francisco. Go Jays...eeeek

It sounds like we're betting on getting those guys out early and hoping they get subbed out, vs our bullpen facing them late in high leverage situations. I'd bet on the starters over bullpen facing those guys, so not totally bummed about the move.

[Horses Fart]

2 1/2 hours. Just took a few nerve pills so they will be kicked in by then.

Yes, I am sure we want our BP facing righties; just hope damage isn't done by then. A stupid slap hit misplayed in field, etc followed by hit will suck life out of the stadium. I can just see Orioles aiming for Joey Bats in field

In my experience, the playoff threads are more fun to moderate than the regular ones. During the season, most of the tension is between long time posters and assigning blame can be thorny because there's usually an escalation of things that goes back really far. In the playoffs, it's mostly new posters popping up and causing s*** which is easier to deal with than ongoing board politics. You ban a few, tell the rest to f*** off and get on with things. The regular posters tend to behave because much like the players themselves they don't want to get ejected when the stakes are highest.

 

Glad you'll be around. All I ask is you do your best to keep the "shoulda been Liriano" noise to a minimum if this goes sideways on Stroman. We'll all pretty much be thinking it at that point so we won't need it harped on throughout the game.

Bit of laugher and sss but Pompey is 4 for 7 against Tillman with two triples, dbl. homer. Of course that was sucky, suckier Tillman

Gary Cederstrom behind the plate tonight. Has a notoriously tight zone. Does this favour the Jays or Os??

Chris Tillman has been just as "sucky" this year as he has throughout his career. Average starter is average.

The Jays, since they watch a lot of close pitches. Stroman lives on the corners though, so we'll see.

[FrozenRopes]

Pressures on the Os... and the Blue Jays

[Dylan]

Lets go blue jays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CBlake]

The vibe around the dome is already electric !! But man my nerves are in shambles. Have a diehard friend who has refused to come out, even with his parents having 200 level club seats behind home plate. Figure he will be sitting in a dimly lit room on his treadmill with the game on to keep things in check.

[FrozenRopes]

40 year old father of 3 with butterflies in my stomach over a game.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

so dam nervous...kinda regret not just swiping my card and going to the game...

 

the wildcard game is BS should be a series of 3 at the least.

 

LETS GO JAYS DONT LET ME DOWN

[Governator]

Wife went shopping and didn't buy my new lucky kettlecorn, but she's going back out tonight and will pick it up. Phew. Now to find the same underwear I wore on the weekend.

[Effit]

I'm getting more nauseous by the minute.

[TBJ12]

Anyone know what is said on Grilli shirt?

[Travis_Snider]

lets go blue jays....

[polar bear]

We should probably sub Goins for Travis.

 

I was hoping for Goins starting,and Travis DH'ing.with Saunders on the bench.

Sid is going off on the wave lol, atta boy.

One team that Saunders has hit well against is the O's and with a RHP on the bump Gibby had to get his bat in the line up. Travis made some great plays on D in BOS under a lot of pressure. I'm good with Gibbys line up.
