What about Vancouver? They throw #### and cry when something doesn't go their way also. Detroit only riots when they win, something foreign to every Canadian team for the past 22 years.
Claiming they were trying to pass the baby a beer is a plausible defense in Canada.
What about Florida? It's a dump and is in the same country, so is as relevant to Detroit as Vancouver is to Toronto.What about Vancouver?

I'm not supporting throwing crap on the field, but this seems weak. Guy threw a beer, some sprayed onto the baby and he gets arrested?

Royals have come across as a bunch of whiny dbags all season long. Seems the easy AL team to root against.
I can see why people would dislike certain Jays - Bautista, Donaldson and Stroman in particular, but those guys are so much to watch IMO. It would suck when they're beating you, and the fact that they show emotion can definitely rub some (old, white) people the wrong way.Royals have come across as a bunch of whiny dbags all season long.

I've never heard this, never read anything about people hating the Jays players. Wooderson works in the A's system and said Donaldson is a jerkoff as a person, but that's about it. I've always liked Bautista, Price, and Russ Martin. Does Stroman eat kittens? Besides being overrated up to this point, never heard anything about him either. Maybe you're just being paranoid.I can see why people would dislike certain Jays - Bautista, Donaldson and Stroman in particular, but those guys are so much to watch IMO.

I support arresting all who threw items. And the women who brought an infant to the game is a ####### idiot.AnonymousBob said:
I don't care for the Royals very much (mainly because the Cardinals fans jump/jumped on their wagon), but I think KC is built much better to succeed in the postseason than the Jays. The Blue Jays were fortunate to get a really bad Rangers team who had no pitching depth and still barely advanced. Power hitting teams are vastly overrated in the postseason.
Failing to understand the difference between the regular season and postseason is really solid schtick. I guess if you are a Jays fan you wouldn't lol
Maybe you should take a second to think about why the postseason doesn't cater to power hitting offenses as much as the regular season. Try to respond with something that doesn't contain the word schtick please. It doesn't seem like you are capable of doing that though.
So would a team with the highest OBP%, 2nd in avg, top 5 BsR and BB/K be built for the playoffs?
Only thing I would say about this is how the Yankees teams from 2002-2007 were built. Tons of HR, lots of superstars, but then they'd get into the playoffs and wouldn't be able to get 2-out hits or move runners up or hit a sac fly with a guy on 3rd and 0 outs. It was weird, all these big bats couldn't score runs. And they struck out at an alarming rate on top of it. Maybe something to be said for having solid contact hitters in the postseason. I don't know if this flies in the face of advanced (or even basic) stats, but there had to have been some explanation for it.
Some of it would be sample size. I'd agree that a lot of poor contact, high strike out power hitters would struggle against higher quality pitching. But that does not describe Toronto; not sure if it did for the Yankees or not.
Good shtick Harold
Blue Jays are down 0-2 schtick boy.Good shtick Harold
Yep. All because they hit too many homers during the regular season. Wish they didn't do that. Maybe they'll play Pennington instead of Donaldson next game to get a player built for the playoffs in the lineup.Blue Jays are down 0-2 schtick boy.Good shtick Harold
I hope the series is over in 5. I have Stevie Wonder tickets Friday night and would rather not have a baseball conflict.
The crowd provided a home field advantage usually seen in other sports. The Game 1 crowd was so hot it added 2-3 MPH to Volquez's pitches. In Game 2, Goins quit on that Zobrist popup because he heard a fan in the third row yelling "I've got it! I've got it!" and thought it was Bautista. Usually when we talk about HFA in baseball it's about teams constructing their roster to fit their ballpark or just getting to hit last. But this weekend we saw the actual crowd itself make a difference.
Let me know when you are done having an i-conniption and maybe I would find the time.Yep. All because they hit too many homers during the regular season. Wish they didn't do that.
