Yeah, Koji is concerning me, he should be demoted from the set up role.

Nice win. The Blue Jays and their paid off umpiring crew can go pound sand.

We already played 6 in Toronto. No Ortiz for two games.

In the less than 2 full seasons that Mookie has been with the big club, his rated value on Fangraphs is almost $65 million so far. That 5th round draft pick is probably going to generate well over $130 mil in value. Give that scout a raise!

Am I the only one partying because of that win? We stunk all weekend, blew leads, squandered comebacks, yet salvaged the series. Down turns are gonna motherf***ing happen over 162, but today was a grinder win. The only question now is: Bushmills or Jameson?

^Jameo.
Feel like i took a month off my life this weekend. Nothing in baseball is more terrifying then facing Bautista, Donaldson and EE late in a tie/close game IN Toronto.

There's definitely a grinding spirit to this team that keeps them in games. Groups of people have personalities, and this one's a pretty good one: smart, aggressive, tenacious.

Sends them out of Toronto on a high note, after a hugely disappointing start to the series. Didn't win the series (could/should have) but an enormous moral victory here. If you believe in that sort of stuff, which I do. I'm going with nice Bulleit Rye on the rocks..cheers!

From a strictly human being standpoint, this was a really uplifting win.

Down turns are gonna motherf***ing happen over 162, but today was a grinder win. The only question now is: Bushmills or Jameson? Want to put some fine grain on that? If you mean there were some questionable decisions, I'd agree. But overall the team's offense rakes almost all the time. Poetic justice today that they smashed balls right at people, and then scored the the tying and go ahead runs on a few whispers - with a Ramirez HBP and a Bradley walk. Whoever made the pitch calls for Ross in the ninth - he or Hanigan or both - deserve real credit. After the weak grounder by Saunders, and Bautista's K, the single off the fists from Donaldson had them pitching very carefully to Encarnacion just as they should have, so he walked. Ross then proceeded to carve up Paredes. The guy was sitting dead on fastballs, so he threw him two hard breaking balls that tied him up, then a fastball up and away that almost unhinged him as he fouled it off. He was ripe to be put away with a slider low and in. Very nice. Teams are really starting to back away from Bradley, so he's doing what he knows very well how to do. He's selective and he gets on base anyway. And Pedroia may be heating up again. Those Baltimore games should be fun.

I'm sure there will be a game this year where Price pitches well. I have a lot of respect for you as a prospect evaluator/scout etc. I really do. Your commentating is at a near troll level, though. I gather a lot of it has to do with sarcasm that I am missing? If it is sarcasm, it's not the funny kind, which is what I thought the point of sarcasm is; to be funny. If it isn't sarcasm, I just don't know what to make of it. You can't be this unhappy as a person, can you? He's 7-1, for god sakes, what more could you ask for! (sarcasm)
