Now I've seen everything............ Jays down 1-0 bottom of the 4th. Bichette hits a single and Shaw right afterwards hits a double. Bichette being a fast runner runs home. Tie game, right? No way, Hosé. The umps call the Mets' coach over. They take the run back because the ball that Shaw hit got stuck under the padding in centre field. Umps can't do shit like that. If the Mets' coach said something, yeah, it might be okay. Besides all that, the Mets' outfielder dug the ball out and played it. The rule has always been, the outfielder raises his hand which stops the play. Unbelievable.
Didn't matter, because Grichuk hit a single and Bichette scores anyway.
If that wasn't enough, in the next play, Mets get an unassisted play by the pitcher at third base.
Just now, top of the 5th, Mets' batter takes first because he got hit by a pitch. Everything is cool, but runner gets sent back. Apparently ball hit the knob of the bat. Mets' player made it look like he got hit, lol. Blue Jays coaching staff are, "on the ball" in this game.
Ruling just came in from MLB headquarters. Ball that gets lodged in cracks, bushes, etc. are automatically deemed dead.
Strangest thing I've seen in baseball was an unassisted triple play. Once in a Blue Moon kind of thing. Okay, I lied. The absolute weirdest thing I've seen in baseball was when a pitcher (can't remember who) picks up a bouncer and is about to throw the ball to first. The ball gets stuck in his glove, so he throws the glove, with the ball still stuck in the glove to first and throws him out. WOW!

A nooner, rubber match, today. Hopefully, the Korean pitcher , Hyun-jin Ryu, can do a little better against the other New York team. Against the Yankees, 5 runs, 4 walks and hit a batter, lol.

Damn, that Gurriel is an amazing outfielder. Acrobatic catches are a normal thing with this guy. Just now, he hit the ball over the netting and onto the street for a huge two run homer.
Jays ahead 2-1 at bottom of 2nd.

Ryu leaving a slew of players on base each inning, but surviving...........so far. 8 hits one run. Not bad against a team that's known for scoring.
LOL, a snow cone catch in centre field.
Blue Jays get their final day off for the remainder of the season tomorrow. They're tied with the Yankees with two weeks left to go. They play the Yankees 7 more times. 3 away and 4 home (Buffalo). 14 games in 13 days to end the season. Two games vs Phillies and three against the Orioles. New York Yankees and Blue Jays are 4-1/2 games out of first place. With that many games left, anything can happen. Bichette is now back and with a couple more injuries slated to come back, the last 14 games will be interesting.

Hory cats.........
4 walks in a row. Even after a pitcher change. Jays are like, "Domo Arigato."
bases loaded and still 0 outs. Bottom of the 6th. Jays ahead 3-0
Spoke too soon. Shaw chases and struck out......... but...... Jays just scored three. Santiago Espinal with a line drive. And....... another one. 7-1 now

Blue Jays playing Yankees today.
Something special about watching games from Yankee Stadium. Fenway Park in Boston is my all time favourite. Dat lone red seat in right field bleachers............. damn, the history of that seat. The Green Monster and that "Pesky" foul pole.
Blue Jays up 1-0. Solo run by Guerrero Jr. top of 2nd with two out.

Wow, two mistakes by Jays outfielder, Fisher. Two horrible errors that screws up the entire inning. The first miss was one that anyone could have caught - dropped ball, then a miss altogether. Inning that should have been over turns into a 7 run inning. Classic example of the domino effect in baseball.

I haven't seen a balk in quite some time. Yamaguchi just got charged with one, advancing the Yankee runner to second.
Shun, not doing well. Interesting to see the meeting on the mound to see what's up with Shun Yamaguchi, who requires an interpreter. Damn......... 9 - 1 bottom on the 3rd, bases loaded, with no outs. Gotta pull the pitcher, but can't just yet. Three game series and it's not getting better......... Check that. It's now 12 - 1............ with no outs!!!

A game like this affects not only the standings (5th seed to 8th), but the rest of the games this season. Pitching rotation is fubarred. The pitchers in this game are throwing 40 - 50 pitches each. You have to save some pitchers for the upcoming games. Two more games vs Yankees coming up. Then Phillies for four games in three days afterward. No time to rest, because the next four games with the same Yankees at home.
Meanwhile, the Yankee's pitcher has it made. Their bull pen is more or less healthy. And, their batters are on fire. This will be the Yankee's sixth win in a row. How quickly things turn around. Yankees have now passed the Blue Jays in the standings.
Yikes!!
As long as the team doesn't give up as easily as Fisher did today, the team can still make some noise in the race for the playoffs.

Merryweather started the game, but Chase Anderson was supposed to be the starter............ wait. Anderson just came in to start the second.
Anderson, WTF? He tried to pick off the runner at first and basically threw the ball away into the dirt. These guys get paid???
I still can't get over Derek Fisher's three screw ups.......... I think he just gave up on number two and number three......... yuk. Purposely threw the game?

Bichette!! Youngster hits a single but makes a poor decision to go for a double. Jogs to first, then turns on the jets later. Tanaka the pitcher cut off the throw to home plate and threw Bichette out at second. A run scored, but now it's two out. The game is tied at two, but it could have been much more for the Jays. Young and inexperienced, this team is. Youth is wasted on the young. Prime example.

Damn, this Yankee team is on fire. Back to back to back solo home runs on three consecutive pitches!!! Their pitching is amazing and the batters are second to none. Men against boys in this game. There's really no scrawny boys on this team. Four home runs now............ all in one inning.
Put up the white flag!
First game Blue Jays lost 20 -6
Second game a 13-2 loss
This game 9-2 and it's only the 4th inning!!!!!!!!
There's no pitchers left............ Chase Anderson out of the game, Montoyo. Maybe not the pitchers fault. The Yankees are too powerful. They've been improving game by game since the Blue Jays beat them so many moons ago. Embarrassing. This series has taken the cockiness right out of the Blue Jays' young players.

Holy Hanna Montana............ Jays were down something like 10 - 3. It's now top of the 9th and they're only down 10 - 7. Relief pitcher just called into play for NY. 101 mph fast balls. Was 1 out. Now 2 out. Teoscar at plate with two runners on base. 2 outs, though. And............ no cigar.
Valiant effort. Too little too late. Swept in the Bronx.
Double header against the Phillies Friday starting at 1:05 pm, our time.

Double header against the Phillies today. Being a double header, they only play 7 innings each. Phillies aren't that tough a team. Certainly not like the NY Yankees. Already, the Jays are down 1-0. Ray is the starting pitcher for the Jays. The first game of the double header is a Jays' home game, go figure.
Listening to Buck Martinez and his side kick, it sounds like in the 4th inning when the Yankees hit three homers in three pitches, the Jays' pitcher was tipping the batters. The batters knew exactly what pitch was going to be thrown. Damn.........
I can't wait till home games in Buffalo. I love the History Mystery feature. The grounds crew puts up cardboard cutouts of three former Blue Jays players up in the stands. Way up in the stands and on their own (Three Amigos like). Spectators and Sportsnet announcers and crew are supposed to guess what the three players have in common. You really have to know your Blue Jays' history. That Hazel Mae knows her Jays.
LOL, Didi Gregorius at bat for the Phillies. With a name like that, how can you lose? Born in Amsterdam.......... damn.

Hey MG1. If the Blue Jays manage to hold on to wildcard spot for the playoffs, they need an answer in their pitching rotation to stop the Yankees.
The Bronx Bombers' bats were on fire during the last series against Toronto.
They set a Major League record with 19 HRs in their three game sweep against the Blue Jays.
As much as I do not like the Yankees, they look to be the team to beat in the American League.

Toronto has a snowball's chance in hell, but they're still my team. Honestly, they may not make it in this year. I respect the NY Yankees. Always have. Like the Red Baron, the enemy you just respect.
I like the youth of the Blue Jays. Cocky and talented. They're getting spanked - more like smacked around, but that's OK.
They are Canada's team. Inspired a whole whack of players from north of the 49th.

Commentators hit the nail on the head. So many players nowadays pause to admire their hit, rather than running immediately after the hit. Plays where you could get that extra 90 feet. Like in drag racing, the first 60 makes or breaks your run.
Let the first base coach be your eyes.
