dumb lazy play

makes no difference with zero runs
This is 10000% on the bats especially Flabicould make an argument that Berrios was starting to give them some belief that maybe could have paid off with some confidence with risp at some point tho.
Yup, exactly what I was gonna say.could make an argument that Berrios was starting to give them some belief that maybe could have paid off with some confidence with risp at some point tho.

I mean, it's a do or die game, you have a very splitty pitcher against a very lefty heavy lineup, and you have a lefty in the pen who was just as good as your starter. It got a couple of their lefties out of the game. And the Jays ended up scoring less runs than Berrios gave up anyways.
That being said, given that Gausman didn't go long in game 1, and Bassitt is just as much if not more splitty, yeah, I think you should have stuck with him at least to finish the 2nd time through the lineup. Or really, given that Minny is a pretty platoon-heavy lineup, maybe they should have gone with an opener for the game, and then bring in either Berrios or Kikuchi depending on who Minny actually put in their lineup. Might not have been the dumbest thing to do.
Someone said this already but I also don’t think that pickoff play at 2B happens if it’s a 0-0 tie.could make an argument that Berrios was starting to give them some belief that maybe could have paid off with some confidence with risp at some point tho.
If he calls it and the ump grants it before the pitcher spins (and he hasn't used his one), presumably. But Bo should be focused on the pitcher not what goes on behind him, otherwise he'll be lost at the plate in that spot.could Bo have called for a timeout the second he saw Correa breaking to the base?
Yep. You get two challenges in the playoffs instead of just one (plus can ask the umpires to use their discretion to review any other close plays later in the game if you’re out of challenges.) MIN would have for sure challenged.If the call was safe, could Minny have demanded a review?
In the mid-70's then Expos owner Charles Bronfman lobbied hard to get Toronto into the majors (he wanted them in the National League but in the majors in any case) Then, 30 or so years later, the Jays voted in favor of contracting the Expos so they could hog the entire Canadian market for themselves. It was a cunt move considering that there were already more than enough votes in favor that the Jays could have voted against it just as a symbolic gesture. But no. It was "fuck those guys."Lol why the Jays' hate? Expos didn't move here you know.
I don't "blame" them for anything. I dislike Toronto teams because I'm a born Montrealer who believes that rooting for any team from Toronto is grounds to revoke your smoked meat and poutine privileges for life.I grew up an Expos fan myself, but I don't get how Jays can be blamed for Expos issues. But they do get blamed.
And many more were lost by managers who looked at an excellent pitching performance and said, "He looks to be in command but pitch counts are pitch counts."Analytics should be just one tool, not the entire tool box. Many championships were won by managers who looked at an excellent pitching performance and said, "No, leave him out there, he is in command".
And at least one series was lost by pulling a pitcher simply because we already decided to do so because, analytics...And many more were lost by managers who looked at an excellent pitching performance and said, "He looks to be in command but pitch counts are pitch counts."
As did I, whenever I was in town, and when I lived in Vancouver I even went to see the Expos when they played interleague games in Seattle. One of my best memories was a pre-season game between the Jays and Expos at a sold out BC Place stadium that was 90% bandwagon Jays fans where BC boy Larry Walker and the Expos put the boots to the then-defending champs. I made a lot of friends that day.I attended many games
Those are privileges??I don't "blame" them for anything. I dislike Toronto teams because I'm a born Montrealer who believes that rooting for any team from Toronto is grounds to revoke your smoked meat and poutine privileges for life.

1000% this. Vladdy knowing they can’t manufacture runs, there’s 2 outs and they’re down 2 late, he had to try to get every advantage to make sure he scored if Bo poked one through. He couldn’t hear Luis Rivera because it was too loud and he got caught, great play by Correa, but if Bo pokes one Vladdy probably ties that up.Someone said this already but I also don’t think that pickoff play at 2B happens if it’s a 0-0 tie.
