2015 ALCS - Toronto Blue Jays (93-69) vs Kansas City Royals (95-67)

[L K]

Navarro in to pinch hit for Goins.

 

[L K]

Davis balked...and it was a ball.  They don't call the balk and call it a strike.

 

[herman]

IS IT TIME TO SLAP BUNT?

 

[L K]

Ump show giving high and outside to fuck over the Jays

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Well it's not like they haven't had their chances.....

The strike two to Navarro forced him to swing at the same pitch way outside.
The strike two on Revere forced him to chase a pitch.

Completely bull from the strikezone.

 

[Joe S.]

What. The. Hell.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

How the hell is that a strike

 

[herman]

This is why FS doesn't display the box.

 

[L K]

God damn it.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Wow absolutely HORRENDOUS strike 2 calls to Navarro and Revere. Completely changed both at bats.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

bullshit

 

[TML fan]

You get the tying run to 3rd with nobody out and don't score, you deserve to lose.

 

[herman]

Good run, boys.

Yes, those calls were terribad. But we had plenty of chances to do damage and didn't.

Go METS.

I still would have sent Pompey home on a bunt/slap hit from Revere though.

Yup, Donaldson and a couple of others should be embarrassed with their game with the season on the line.

 

[Peter D.]

Go to hell ump. Doesn't excuse the Jays for not coming through, but those two pitches changed the dynamic of those at bats.

 

[bustaheims]

Awful strike zone, but going 0-for with runners in scoring position is what cost the Jays the game - and the series, really. Gotta be better than that.

Indeed, it turns out a baseball team beats a softball team when things really matter.

0-12 with RISP, 8 LOB.

You don't win with numbers like that in an elimination game. Outside of Bautista this was a big fail. Umps didn't help at the end, but weren't the difference makers IMO.

Now the home run? We'll never know, but it conclusively was "fan interference" whatever that's supposed to mean (the guy interfered with the ball while still in the play "area").
