Well looks like we get the Trash Berrios tonight? Never seen a pitcher that can K 14 guys in one start and then can't miss a bat the next. He's so inconsistent. Definitely should not be starting in the WC series.
This rule needs to be taken out! It's absolutely ridiculous! What exactly was Kirk suppose to do there? Imagine if a call like this costs a team a playoff game or worse yet decides the World Series. Way to ambiguous of a rule. Even when.the Jays benefited against the Twins I thought it was stupid.
This team is so baffling this year. They go on the road and take 6 of 7 from the Yankees and BoSox and pretty well tear the cover off the ball and then come home and get swept and looks like they completely forgot how to hit or play defense. They've got the Cubs and Pirates coming up, two of the worst teams in the league. Hopefully they can turn things around.
Chapman deserves full credit for that win! We have anyone else at 3rd base and we lose that game. He's been by far the best pickup we got in the offseason. His defense single handedly wins us games! What a win!
Somebody's spicy! This is a baseball axiom as old as the World Series, it worked out, but you never put the winning run on base! A shot down the line or gapper and game is over. We got lucky there!
I have absolutely zero confidence in Vlad with runners in scoring position with 2 outs. Seems like he grounds out every time! He doesn't seem to perform well under pressure.
Jays are on the verge of sweeping the second 4 game series in a row in the Bronx in 2 years. The Yankees have only been swept twice in a 4 game series at home in the last 20 years and both times were at the hands of the Blue Jays. Time to make it the third time tomorrow!
Why the hell are we bringing in Romano when we are up 4 runs and he just pitched yesterday? Save him for Tomorrow or Sunday. Basically means he's unavailable tomorrow if we are in a tight game. Did Schneider channel Montoyo here? WTF?
No way there was conclusive evidence to overturn that call. Looked like it went right into the weebing of the glove. Complete horseshit! Cost the 2 runs an a bunch of extra pitches for Manoah.
I can't believe that call was actually overturned! I could understand if it was called obstruction on the field, but to overturn a call I thought there had to be 100% certainty? Even Tabby and Shulman seemed to be in disbelief. Don't get me wrong I'm happy we got the win, but if the roles were reversed I'd be pissed.
I think the catcher obstruction rule needs more clarification tbh. Was exactly is considered a "lane" for the baserunner? Too much ambiguity and leaves to much up to interpretation of the rule.
Your right Pujols is slower, but not by much.
Pujols (23.2ft/sec)
Kirk (24.4ft/sec)
Only 3 players in the league are slower then Pujols (Martin Maldonado, Yadier Molina and the slowest of them all Yasmin Grandal)

Why is Vladdy DHing? He needs a rest from playing 1st base? DH Kirk and bench Tapia. This guy should never be batting higher then 9th in the lineup, 5th??? What the hell is Montoyo smoking?
