GDT (3/4) | Blue Jays (59-49) vs. Red Sox (64-48) | August 7 — 7:07 PM

What a stupid AB by Hernandez

 

He took a hanging breaking ball the second pitch, got to try and smash that.

[JFD]

It's more they don't hit in late innings.

 

Yup. No need to sugar coat it with lame excuses

[jaysguy44]

It would be nice if Vlad figures it out soon.

 

These big games down the stretch are where stars need to be stars.

[glory]

People whining about extra innings, you realize the Jays got a runner on 2nd too, right? They scored 2 runs in 15 innings. Winning one is impressive based on that.

 

The rule is annoying but every team has to deal with it.

[Scion]

The Jays need to adjust their approach at the plate in extras. They fail to register a run far too often.

[Omar]

Lets take 3 for 4 with a win tomorrow. If I said before the series that we take 3 of 4 we would all take it.

[connorp]

Hopefully they tinker with it and start it in the 12th or something. I can respect trying to get the games over with but there needs to be 2 innings of normal play

[Laika]

I guess Bo must have been sitting breaking ball 3-1 and just f***ed up the swing?

[TwistedLogic]

Bo's probably never hit a ball that short in his life. Anything harder than that brings Vladdy in. Sometimes it's just not in the cards.

 

f***ing hate the Red Sox.

[Grant77]

This game isn't over yet without the extra inning rule. It's the worst thing to happen to baseball in many years

Words can't Express how much I hate it and how bad it is for the viewing experience.

[gruber92]

Now if we lose tomorrow, a series split. Blah

 

That's the spirit!

We know, Grant.

[gruber92]

Hopefully the bats wake against s*** bag Richards tomorrow.

[BigCecil]

Bo shortened up and was just trying to punch a ball or get it in the OF. He got beat by a good 3-1 pitch. Must have been looking slider or would have taken it? Teo’s AB was worse but got set up by 97 inside on black. Not sure why he took the hung slider for 2nd strike. Guessing fastball? bad guess. Disappointing. Well we have a shot at 3/4.

[glory]

Unfortunately the Yankees and A’s keep winning. Jays need to win tomorrow. A split would be terrible.

[Grant77]

We know, Grant.

 

It can't be said enough times.

[BigCecil]

It can't be said enough times.

 

We should have a separate thread for it. It turns GDT into same thing every time we are in extras. I don’t mind the rule. It’s the same for both teams. Find a way to make it work for you at the plate.

[Daniel Labude]

Seriously how did Vlad's ball in the 7th not go out. Frustrating

[Effit]

We hate the rule for both teams, not just the other team ffs. lol

 

But I’ll shut up if people are that sensitive about it.

7 inning double headers are just as bad

Yeah, if the Jays got a single in the extra inning like the Red Sox did, or Bo hit a fly ball, then the game is tied again, and the Jays would have scored in the same BS way the Red Sox did. The Jays just happened to fail in the extra inning.

 

Either way, it's not the reason the Jays lost. If you score one run in a game, then you're either going to have to throw a shutout or lose, and the Jays luckily were able to split the two games.

[Stangstag]

Yeah definitely. The look on Barnes’ face when Vlad made contact was priceless. Would have been so sweet if it went out

Few, if any, people are saying that the rule is unfair as you suggest.

 

The rule ruins the viewing experience for the great majority of fans and destroys one of the best aspects of the game. If you like watching baseball, then gimmicks that artificially shorten the most exciting part are bad. Period.

I know you hate it but be objective. No, the vast majority don’t view the 11th inning of a regular season game to be the most exciting part. That’s why they tried the new way. Most will turn off the game from tv and go to bed. That’s all the casuals that make up the majority of viewers. Sounds like baseball is doing the smart thing and making a compromise next year

[InvincibleTiger]

Get em tmrw..otherwise major disappointment

[bones10]

Richards then cimber was the correct move. Montoyo is an idiot.

Huh??

 

Redsox won on a ******** babip groundball single

[Spanky99]

Huh??

Yup sucks.

[G-Snarls]

Yeah

 

3/4 very good

 

2/4 meh

I liked Semien's approach leading off in extras. He tried to go the other way a few times and eventually stayed in the middle of the field driving one deep enough to advance Vladdy to third. Bo just messed up in his at bat, simple as that.
