Series Thread: Rays at Rangers for the last series of 2016, 9/30-10/2

Wow! Typical Blue Jay fan.

We know the trashy quality from last year.

 

[Duane1952]

Why are they letting them sell stuff in cans after what happened last year.

 

[darrylgann]

There they go throwing crap at the players. Worse fans ever. Should call the game in a forfeit.

Amen to that. I'd warn these fans the next time, game over

 

[Nightcrawler]

That's another reason I don't want to play them. If it were to happen, I just don't know if I could stomach losing to that classless bunch of shitheads 2 years in a row.

 

[darrylgann]

Just saw a "We Want Odor" sign in the stands. Look for it guys. When they show the batter.

 

[Duane1952]

Now score a run O's.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Orioles have struck out 11 times and Blue Jays have struck out 8 through 8.5 innings. Not a whole lot of patience being shown by either team.

 

[darrylgann]

Gotta bring in Britten now for this. Guess not.

 

[Kelleyman]

Set up by the borderline pitch called a ball

 

[Bmurph]

Why didnt Buck start the inning w Britton?

Blue Jays fan throws beer can at Orioles outfielder during AL Wild Card Game
Hyun Soo Kim made the catch on the fly ball anyway

A riveting AL Wild Card Game nearly turned ugly Tuesday night.

On Melvin Upton's seventh inning fly ball, a fan at Rogers Centre threw a beer can at Orioles left field Hyun Soo Kim as he was making the catch. Here are some images:

Kim was able to make the catch, but understandably was upset by having a beer thrown at him. Center field Adam Jones was angry as well, and manager Buck Showalter stormed out of the dugout to speak to the umpires as well.

Rule 3.16, which covers fan intereference, would have allowed umpires to award the out anyway even if Kim did not make the catch. Thankfully it didn't come to that.

This is not the first time the Rogers Centre crowd has thrown a beer at an Orioles player. Someone threw a beer at Nate McLouth back in 2013:

During the ALDS last year Blue Jays fans threw beer cans on the field during the team's brawl witht he Rangers in Game 5.

Folks, don't throw things on the field. It's dumb and dangerous. Hopefully that fan was ejected and banned from the ballpark.


That piece of shit needs to spend the night in jail and have assault charges pressed on him

 

[darrylgann]

Now win it Baltimore

 

[DT LUNA]

Around the horn for two. Well done

 

[WilltheThrill]

Showalter looks like a genius there, I gotta say. 2 on, nobody out, Bautista up, and he resists the urge to go get his shutdown closer. Impressive.

That was some leadership there.

What happened to Osuna?

 

[Kelleyman]

That was some leadership there.

What happened to Osuna?

Not sure may be hurt. Looking for reports

 

[WilltheThrill]

That was some leadership there.

What happened to Osuna?

Not sure, but it didn't look good at all. Whatever he hurt, he knew it right away after throwing the pitch, and Encarnacion immediately called for the trainer. The look on EE's face was not good.

 

[darrylgann]

Come on Darren!

 

[DT LUNA]

Darren is money.

 

[WilltheThrill]

To the 11th we go! Showalter still has his closer and all pinch hitting options available. He has outmanaged Gibbons.
