People still going to question Stroman starting this game?

 

[BornToRun]

I love the mute button.

 

[glasspusher]

I love the mute button.

the sounds of silence

 

[canderson]

These are the announcers doing the Sox game right?

WEEI on the MLB app, here I come.

 

[nvalvo]

This ump is awesome. "HAH!!!"

 

[Bergs]

This ump is awesome. "HAH!!!"

Imagine how cool he'd be if he could see!

I just tuned in. That bad?

 

[BornToRun]

I just tuned in. That bad?

Couple misses but I've seen far worse.

 

[glasspusher]

I just tuned in. That bad?

Lots of wide strikes

I will admit I was wrong once he makes it through the lineup a couple times. Hard to argue with Liriano or Sanchez in this spot, but Stroman definitely has the swagger to handle the situation. I am impressed.

 

[Flunky]

It always seems like fans in Toronto are more vocal over what they collectively think are strikes (and are not remotely strikes).

When you think of all the good to great announcers that are done for the year, from Scully on down, what a shame we get this crew.

To be fair to those who questioned, his troubles usually come after the first time through the lineup, no?

 

[shawnrbu]

Let's see how Stroman looks out of the stretch.

 

[BornToRun]

Bautista looking at his glove like "What the hell am I supposed to do with this thing?"

 

[nvalvo]

Strange how Gibbons acted like it was a foregone conclusion Bautista is gone. "Wants to go out with a bang..."

 

[MuzzyField]

Geddy Lee really likes baseball! Keeping score and tracking pitches per usual.

 

[nvalvo]

Wow. Pillar saved a run.

 

[scotian1]

Well there you go!

 

[BornToRun]

Elation to disgust in 2 pitches.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

why feed a fastball middle-in to Dumbo?

 

[strek1]

TRUMBO - So dangerous

 

[Al Zarilla]

Stroman, your one time thru the lineup pitcher.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Games are longer than 3 innings.

 

[nvalvo]

I'm getting the pen up if I'm Gibbons.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Should have started Liriano.

 

[Hendu for Kutch]

I've decided I want Baltimore to win, because I just want to feel the sadness of one of these fan bases and Toronto's is right there for me to see. The joy I felt hearing the audible groan on the Trumbo HR verified that.

 

[nvalvo]

So, Hendu aside, who are we favoring?

I want Baltimore to advance.

 

[Flunky]

I think the Sox match up better against Baltimore if it eventually goes there for the ALCS so that's who I am rooting for. Also, F Canada.

Oh, and a possible Bos/Bal ALCS leaves the option to go to either Fenway or Camden for games.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I want the birds...



...of Baltimore

 

[BornToRun]

America, Fuck yeah!

And Tillman just got away with a hanger.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I kind of like Hendu's reasoning: some schadenfreude can be available watching Toronto fans.

I think we have a better chance against Baltimore in a series. And I like watching games on grass. If we get by Cleveland, I'm pretty sure we will be facing Texas anyway. But you never know.

 

[rembrat]

I want a great baseball game. I don't care who advances, no one is fucking with us

 

[nvalvo]

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the home teams have a bad record in these WC games, which I think is funny.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Tillman just has to make it to the 6th and this one is over.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Can we all agree that no matter who wins, we want the loser to lose in the most painful way possible?

 

[BornToRun]

I can get behind this. I wanna see Britton choke.

 

[nvalvo]

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the home teams have a bad record in these WC games, which I think is funny.

There have been eight, and the away teams are 6-2.

2-6

Only home teams to win are the 2013 Pirates (CUETO game) and 2014 Royals (epic game against the A's).

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I can't root for either of these fucking teams

 

[BornToRun]

That 2014 AL Wild Card is one of the best games I've ever seen.

 

[shawnrbu]

Rangers/Jays has the ingredients for an all time great series. Rangers/Orioles does not have that added juice.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

You only need to root harder for one to lose than the other.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Like the Ravens against the Colts.

[E5 Yaz]

The idea is to figure out which you think would be an easier opponent for Texas

 

[Al Zarilla]

Gotta like Tulo tho.

 

[nvalvo]

This is my reasoning.

Beautiful from Tulo.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

That seems like a lot of work
