....runner can leave early if no one notices and you don't appeal he gets the next base

I guess so. Just an extreme and weird example of this.

very weird, I have never seen that before

[hanton]

Yea I believe if you do not appeal the runner gets the base if he left early, very rare situation

Maybe not miss a chance for Jays to appeal.  

[Abomination]

I wonder how long it'll take for some team to add that to their playbook?

[ComeTogether]

Get some runs here.  

Stay focused. 

[ComeTogether]

Bateman is speedy 

[Landry_25]

So just…forget how many outs there is and purposely don’t tag up? I don’t understand any of what happened there. Rewarded a run literally 

[JaysFan99]

Red Sox definitely have everything going their way to make a bonehead mistake like that and not have it effect you.

Come on Vlady.

[ComeTogether]

That was ball 4

[HomeRunHomer]

lol that pitch wasn't even close...f*** these umps

Everything going the Sox way. Vlady still sucks.

[M.E.]

Vlad is so bad

[Abomination]

I'd say the baseball gods are against us today, but then again we started Taillon and SWR against Gray and we're somehow winning after 7.

The Jays got the 2 outs that's not the issue, however the runner at 3rd scored BEFORE the 3rd out was made - so that's what they call a "timing play" - hence that run scores.  Had the Jays appealed to 3rd that runner would have been out, instead they left the field at which point that run is in the books.

Bateman is quick 

[G-Snarls]

Come on Vladdy

End it

Scored without tagging up on a catch though. Makes zero sense any of it. Vlad should have had ball 4 too this ump team is f***ed

Seems all the weird rare plays happen to the Jays. 😐

yea even without tagging, it's an appeal play.  It's not on the ump to see if a runner left early, it's on the fielding team.  It's confusing but they got it right.

[hanton]

Imagine that in a WS game

[Abomination]

The slow motion shot of Rogers releasing that slider was fascinating.

An appeal play but without the opportunity to appeal.

[G-Snarls]

Huge K

Both runners left early, Toronto has the chance to appeal either or both. I guess. 

Still dumb 

[neverbeenhere]

f***

Varland has been a little less automatic lately. :(
