10/10 ALDS Game 3 vs Rays

[a700hitter]

When the ground-rule double was called, at first I actually felt sorry for the Rays because I didn't know the rule.

 

Then I thought of all the dumb rules in Tampa's circus tent, the worst stadium in pro sports.

 

Then my 10-year-old said, "That hit was by the guy who stole the Blue Jays' note card and wouldn't give it back -- Kevin Karma."

I don’t remember the incident with the note card. What happened?

ERod is penciled in for game 4. He tends to nibble against aggressive teams. If he does that with Tampa, we could need the pen very early and those guys have to be spent. Who can give us some length in game 4?

Sale or Houck. Would be tough to find someone to start Game 5 in that case

In a play at the plate vs. Toronto, Kiermaier slid home and found the data card that fell out of the catcher's pocket. Then he refused to give it back.

 

Not sure if the card included a game plan on how to induce Rays' batters to bounce a double off the rightfielder's leg into the bullpen.

Holy crap. I love your kid!

Anyone here know the status of Richards?

Just checked. Richards is ineligible for both the remaining ALDS and, if the SOX make it, the ALCS, because of hamstring injury.

Yep. Rules are if you are replaced on the roster due to injury during a postseason series, you are out for the remainder of that one and also the next series.
