There's damshow. In the corner of his room. With his knees tucked to his chest. Rocking back and forth, letting out a very quiet bird whistle.

If this game stays tied after this half inning I wonder if Showalter would bring in Britton in a tie game in the 9th.  "The book" says you don't use your closer in a tie game on the road but it's another one of those things that never made sense to me.  Screw saves, bring your best guy in as soon as possible.  It's do or die.

Sure enough, Britton's warming up.

Edit:  a half-second sooner and Trumbo sends that fastball back to the States.

Edit 2:  Osuna just deke'd Trumbo.  Outstanding slider.

Buck has to bring in Britton. I'm REALLY worried about what we do in extras though.

The Blue Jays don't have much outside of Osuna either. They might both push their closers to the breaking point.

Liriano is a trump card that the O's can't match.

WOW HORRIFIC CALL

[Draevyn]

Alright, time for a walk off home run to finish this thing off!

[thatshortguy]

Yeowch.  I've not agreed with a few calls, but that was egreeeeegious.

[Meacon Keaton]

It's games like this where I wish they'd keep the rosters expanded to 40-men. 

[thatshortguy]

Brach is all over the damn place.  Third pitch was barely in the stadium.

Edit:  Donaldson could not have placed that one better.

[Meacon Keaton]

Donaldson is ya daddy.

[gunnar hendershow]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING BUCK?!

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Awwww yeaaaaaaaah.

[thatshortguy]

Can you imagine another bat flip?

[The Buscher]

Not bringing Britton is looking really stupid right about now.

[thatshortguy]

I don't entirely disagree with walking Edwin.  You're not getting Donaldson back to first, so may as well make one of their better hitters a non-issue.

Brach finally settles down and handles bidniss.

Edit:  Bringing in O'Day?  That's pretty damn cocky, Buck.

And then they replace him.

[The Buscher]

Another first pitch swing.  What the fuck are the Jays doing?

[thatshortguy]

Let's play two tonight!

Just being a genius apparently.
