Toronto had the closest baseball team, and I've seen them more times in person than you've seen every team that you've ever followed in any sport combined.
I would like you to at least admit and agree that the Rangers are pussies for throwing at him at their absolute last opportunity this year.

No? NO?? He won't admit it?
This is shameful. I am ashamed of this BBS (finally).

Yes, that is weird... for baseball. In basketball, we allow this!
Which reminds me, YOUR Oklahoma City Thunder won game one against the heavily favored Golden State Warriors last night, 108-102!
You are all invited to become Oklahoma City Thunder fans! In turn I will watch any game in any sport of your choosing and write a lot of words about how I don't understand the rules!
THUNDER UP, JOLT COUNTRY!
PS: Thunder center Steven Adams is in trouble for referring to GSW as "quick little monkeys" in his post game interview. You should watch game two, it's entirely possible someone will punch him when he rounds second base!

I am willing to trade a synopsis-off, where I watch the next Thunder game, and Flack watches "that inning" from the Blue Jays/Rangers game last year.
I think that would be the greatest thing ever.

Waiting until the last at-bat is bush league. I admit it.
I also admit Bautista is not "blameless", since 100% of all this nonsense started with his punk-ass showboating.

I can live with this. Can we call this matter "resolved" here on Jolt Country BBS? Have we all put aside the name-calling and unflattering impressions and come to an agreement??

I'll allow it.

If you can provide me a link, I would be up for this.
I think game 2 is Wednesday night, but I'll double check on that for ya.

The league agreed with you. Jose got one game, Odor got 8 and a few other guys got punishments, too.

OK. This is a link to the inning last year. It's a 60 minute video, but everything you need to see is in the first 40 minutes.

A lot of it is pauses in play because of the sheer amount of crazy shit going on. I have never, ever seen anything like it in all my years watching baseball.
Looks like tommorrow night for Thunder / Warriors game 2! I'll make a new thread for it.

So now we have an answer. Jose Bautista was 11% to blame.
We good? Good.

Yes, but it's still bullshit because he didn't do anything wrong.
Posted: Tue May 17, 2016 7:15 pm

So you're stance is that he's blameless.

No, I say that he is 5% blameful.
So if 11% is one game and I think he is 5% the problem, then he needs to be suspended to where he can come back right before the second out takes place in the 4th inning.
Unfortunately, this means we need some precogs.
(Though with the way the Blue Jays have been playing lately, none of this really matters.)

Would you like an audio commentary or a text-based one?

Whatever is easiest. Is audio easier? I think audio is easier but you are also a perfectionist. I defer to the maestro here.

I think the audio track is off by half a second but this is my real time reaction to the video.

Having listened to thousands of baseball games, I can say without hesitation or reservation that this is the greatest, funniest commentary of a game I have ever heard. I will be posting this everywhere so the rest of the world can enjoy it when I get home.
FLACK WINS!!!!!
