2016 AL Wild Card Game, Orioles vs. Blue Jays (Epic Edwin Walk-Off) | #MLBAtHome

This 2016 A.L. wild card telecast on CBS is brought to you by the Lincoln Motor Company and the exhilarating new Lincoln M Casey by Charles Schwab by hand cook tire chase down your passion never halfway and by T-Mobile one welcome to unlimited baseball back here in Toronto the fourth member of through his Sam Ryan. Let's check in Sam and this one here tonight. Let's check in Sam and this one wild card game. Now that was play the PNC Park in Pittsburgh between the pirates and the reds. The crowd was electric and loud the atmosphere and they gave Johnny quieter than pitching for the Reds an earful. Johnny quieter than pitching for next pitch to Russell Martin then with the pirates. He takes it out for a home run. He had two runs all the way to the Pittsburgh when Blue Jays bedroom obviously really also pitch in that great in that game. and that it felt like you were playing it in on below the world was here tonight at the Rogers Center. But they are loud Ernie. Thank you very much. In fact the group is open for the first time ever in a postseason game in this stadium. This will be the twenty fifth playoff games here in Rogers Center. playoff games here in Rogers presented by hand could tire Adam Jones leads and answer the Orioles Joon Soo Kim hits second then Manny Machado and then in the cleanup spot. The league leader in fact the leader of Major League Baseball and home runs. Mark Trumbo is the D.H. then it's Matt wieners Chris Davis Jonathan scopes the second baseman the veteran Michael Horn and right field and shortstop J.J. Hardy. They will face Marcus Stroman. He might be little but he's a little stick of dynamite as Marcus Stroman. You see his numbers for the year. I was talking about how he he's one of those pitchers that pitches with great emotion. And this crowd I believe is only going to help him. Adam Jones steps in and when you're underway in the air right center field Kevin belong. Offensively for Toronto. When you look at Kevin Flower in center Centerfield he can make some spectacular catches. He'll get a gold love out there someday. He'll get a gold love out there Lewicki Donaldson a third Travis at second and cornerstone at first base in this ball park last week pinch hit homerun to win the game. At the time it kept the Orioles ahead of Detroit. They would have been tied for the number two wildcard spot at the Orioles not won that game and Baltimore went on to take two out of three in that series not only was that the go ahead home run in the ninth but it was off the closer. Ricardo Osuna put him in a little bit of a funk for a few days. Stroman is only 5 9 1 85. He's into the wild and here balls and a straight Stroman is a fastball slider change up pitcher. Outstanding action on his fastball great sync you'll see right away if he's doing well you'll see a lot of ground balls that's one thing that John Gibbons told us to work this guy did ground balls and a team like the Baltimore Orioles. Peterson runs you got to keep the ball in the yard on the ground a second. Devon Travis guys it really loud down here a little there I can hear your voice. When do I jump into the telecast right now. Wonderful play right here. He rounds the ball knows he has a little time goes on the run made it difficult play look very easy here's Manny Machado you'll notice different look to this Toronto playing surface in years past that was Dirk just around the bases around those cutouts now they got the entire play field and Ronny I love the way Russell Martin gets that low strike and you can see it really well down here on the field he gets down on one knee and kind of pulls it back up into the low part of the knee for a Super Bowl so sinker ball that's a really good skill to have on the play. MARTIN frames pitches as well as any Catcher in the game. One ball one strike outside. Martin has a knack for finding himself playing at this time of year to 11 seasons in the big leagues and this is the ninth time he's gone to the playoffs. Stroman back into the wild and that's in the dirt. Then again it falls behind three and one good winning team has it needs a catcher. And it's not by accident he's in the playoffs. Wilson marked his third wildcard in the last four years. And it's a one two three top of the first for Marcus Stroman tonight's Toronto batting order presented by hand could tire Devin Travis leads it off Josh Donaldson last year's MVP in the two hole Edwin Encarnacion and Posey. DEA powerful 3 4 combination then Russell Martin Troy to Lewicki Michael Saunders Kevin blah and his EPL career hits 9 of the ace of the staff 116 and 6 during the regular season. But he has never enjoyed pitching here in the sixty eight innings pitched in his career he's given up 20 home runs boy they're ready to scream for anything in this ballpark right now. You talk about the whole when you look at the batting order for Toronto eight of the nine have homers in their careers off Tilman Travis is twenty five years old the lead off hitter. They call him baby. In fact had T-shirts made with that baby emoji on him and you'll see those hooks off and often struck him out one down an all American League lots of gold gloves out there. No none finer than Machado with third base. Deanna Renato by the gold standard for third base defensive play Josh Donaldson until bad either right. DONALDSON swings and misses 0 1 1 the Orioles shift the three infielders on the left side the heavy hitters seem to be amped up a little bit a little bit more aggressive than normal. You know that shift right there you look at Chris Davis at first base. get too far off first base cause he still needs to get there to be the target for the other three okay. How tough is that if you get a ball on that left side you're almost thrown into a moving target at first base. That's the danger. You know especially when you're back into the ball and have to You know especially when you're It's one thing when you get a yourself and let him get there. But if you have to throw it baseman to be a target. He's trying to pick it up that count one and two scope moves back to his normal position. That's why the first and Davis with the flip the Tillman and got him when we think of Chris Davis we always think of him as just a big guy that hits home run. These sneaky athletic Chow they get off the mound really well. And Chris Davis over there remains shallow. You know many times you move back and not try to protect your butt but playing off the base and shallow is shorter distance for him to get there for the throw. So he was in a perfect position to catch and flip the Tillman two down. two home runs this year that was number five and tied for the lead in RBI is in the American League at one hundred and twenty seven tied with the guy you may have heard of but one of the reasons that Tillman is 16 and 6 this year he hasn't allowed a home to anyone in the top 10 and home runs go balls in a strike. Buck knows when he watches Chris Tillman if he's getting that curveball over that's when he has those solid games and Chris Davis squeezes in for the third out. One two three four four Stillman. We head to the second don't miss the Giants and the Mets in the National League wild card game starting tomorrow on ESPN at 8:00 Eastern time. Pretty fair pitching match up that one wrong. Pretty fair pitching match up Madison Bumgarner against Nelson to guard top after the second inning. Here's Mark Trumbo leading off against Marcus Stroman fumble that all of baseball with forty seven home runs he knocked in one hundred and eight and this is the first time he has appeared in a postseason day undercut by the Baltimore Orioles with the steal of the winter training Steve Clevenger about the catcher for Trumbo. To what was slapped to six umpires for this one of course Adam down the line score postseason baseball Gary cedar storm is the crew chief who makes the calls behind the plate there's Ted Barrett at first Eric Cooper at second. BILL WILKIE makes the calls third and down the lines. DAVID Radcliffe and left and will little in right here if you scratch that ball to shortstop and slap the shortstop. Oh I didn't say it was slap tattooed. That thing was a rocket was loud. handcuffed to the whiskey only playing back on the grass. handcuffed to the whiskey only I saw you flinch. Callahan he's having a hard flashback earnings in charge of the verbs here. It is cool being down here again being this close did you get that feel the ball jumping off the bat. Warren look like a slap to shortstop to me. Appreciate it a little bit back. He didn't get it elevated but he Stroman is sinking fast ball he's got command of it. He has yet to get command of that good slider Two balls two strikes one out top half of the Second leaders he's had some good at bats against Stroman here on 2016 five for 12 with a couple of home runs. Leaders ended this season with Baltimore on Sunday. I got blocked out of the corner in life but now I can see it on the replay goes over knows exactly where the wall is let's keep his eye on the ball when it gets to that point and makes the catch. Hundred and Sixty third game here for the Blue Jays. This is the first time that they've had this. These players at these positions Chris Davis takes a strike. For the most part Chris Davis was the Orioles cleanup hitter Buck Shaw water hitting him six tonight something he's done a dozen times this season. You know you bring up an You know when you go to the you do. Should you keep it the same should you try something new at that point. That's always going to battle. I know Joe Torrey had a great great success managing in the regular season but he changed to start to expand Mariano Rivera's role in the bullpen so that managers can do some things. But I often wondered you know play with what you got what got you here. No words needed getting to the bottom of the second T-Mobile one they'll MLB fans dig into the game with unlimited LTE data on their smartphones.

MARTIN freaking pitch over a ball in a strike. 12 postseason games to teach them how pressing Martin lays down a book right back to Tillman who throws him out. Good idea. But not exactly the execution now but he's capable of doing that and he was trying to push now but he's capable of doing nobody in the hole at second base and beat the pitcher to the bag. A home run again a fastball groove right down the middle and he was sitting dead ran all over batting practice today the balls were hitting the facing of the upper deck straightaway center off the second deck in case you're wondering who's up and running. I can't fault Tillman was on a 3 1 strike but you might to look back and try to be careful with that pitch that doesn't categorize as a mistake and a few on right down the middle. He's still got to hit the ball field near the line. Michael Board over in the corner and he made the catch it's almost like well looking back but how could he be playing me there. He wasn't just Michael Boyd from the speediest of all the Baltimore Orioles just makes a brilliant play in right field. Yeah I had a really good angle down here he covered a lot of ground and was tracking at the balls right next to the fence. So a lot of courage going in there and catching it then crashing into the wall and it looks even faster with those big orange style on. I'm not ripping it I like it. Michael Saunders steps in and takes his stride. Michael Saunders steps in and runs in his career off Tilman Russell Martin from Ontario first two teammates from Canada have 20 more home runs ball Oriel shifting against Saunders as well in scope second baseman in shallow looked down to me yeah didn't look good for over here either you saw Josh Donaldson kind of giving it to a all but on a plate on the left side and it stays 2 and 2. This also the postseason debut from Michael Saunders Caligari. What do you think it's like when you're getting your first taste of that. Well I mean you want to hold it that you don't want to go up there and be passive. You want to get a good pitch to hit and then turn loose he's struck it out second strikeout for Fritz Tillman but Toronto gets on board with the long ball Joey Bats one nothing this Bud's for the blues the reds and the Warriors This Bud's for the Giants the jazz and the magic this Bud's for the home team your team is your highlights your alerts all in one place download the free Bleacher Report app and do it right now. Top half of the third inning Jonathan scope leads it off for the Orioles a tapper over the mound. broadcasts of the shutdown end and wants your team a score to Ron Stroman this year. You raise four points to seven. One of the reasons I think he finished one game under 500 so running what is a 1 nothing league due for a pitcher you know defensively it made me relax a little bit but he had a little bit of a margin for error. I think the most important part is that it allows you when you're 1 0 2 0 2 1 to be aggressive to throw a strike to throw a fastball. Keep it down in the zone. You can be more aggressive. Quickly you heard of Michael Horn. Well you never know what events will transpire. Well you never know what events Arizona traded late to the Orioles. Arizona traded late to the Mark Trumbo goes to the D.A. He played a lot of right field. No way he makes that second strikeout for Stroman the slider I was talking about that he did not have control of his first two innings is starting to become a very effective pitch a good one there here's the Orioles shortstop JJ Hardy the number nine hitter he's gonna do a double take when I looked out there and see no shit Stroman working quickly ran it inside the bat Powerball sometimes hitting set off a certain way scope coming up and swinging at the first pitch and making it out almost make Michael Vaughan go up there and say Okay let me be a little bit more handsome and take a couple of pitches you don't let the pitcher get get away with a short inning and sometimes that takes your aggressiveness if you're a second year out here hands Marcus Stroman has sailed through the Orioles lineup the first time around look at the upcoming postseason schedule on TV yes Thursday's coverage begins at four Fridays at twelve thirty both with MLB postseason pregame on TV as presented by the all new Chrysler Pacifica bottom half of the third inning Kevin blah leads it off and takes a strike from Chris Tillman there's been one base runner in the game and he's circled the bases Jose Bautista solo shot in the second both these managers can say the same thing about their ballclub why anyone's at the plate they're in scoring position Hillary's a fiery guy a scoring position Hillary's a back on an incident a couple of seasons ago when he was called up from the minor leagues was pinch hit for head words with John Gibbons and before you knew what he was right back in the minor leagues when he was grounds to shorten Hardy throws him out moments ago Sam Ryan spoke with Orioles manager Buck show Walter but Marcus is working quickly what do you need to see from your batters hits not how you strike stay game he's a good pitcher everybody this time of year is pretty good he's a good pitcher everybody baseball to be played but Chris got himself right back on on step after the home run he always like to see that guy what do you like from him so far in the mound tonight. Well Chris a guy that will throw any pitching Tom in accounting command has been good. That's always something you look for. their guys are good too. You having fun. Yeah exactly. Where else would join our team. We'll see we can do something like that. Thank you. Everybody's having fun first playoff game of 2016. The wild card game here on TV yes seeking your career the number nine hitter was school men offering from Tillman. You couldn't have two different managers when we go into John You couldn't have two different would you like to talk about. We're going to buck Schwartz's office. He starts talking and doesn't stop until we leave. That's a look from the CNN Tower one of the great spots here in Toronto Paul two strikes that kick into the mid and strike out number three for Chris Tillman the guys you know Buck said you having fun you know our guys are having fun to but there is an urgency sense of urgency in this game. Everybody's game faces a little bit more serious. It's not it's not the smiles and everybody walking around as each pitch. that they're really concentrating and playing each pitch back to the top of the order. For Toronto when Devin Travis who struck out his first time well that's the problem you have with this wild card game. One team that's going to have fun at the end of the night. One team heading to Arlington Texas for a best of five with the Rangers offers one of the. The scoreboard here thought that pitch missed it was a strike it's wanted one that had a 2 0 on the board. Now back to the ball on a strike a little blue for a big high. Second it is born for the catch. Three up three down four Tillman and the third and we head to the fourth for the wildcard. We'll meet again. I don't know where Don't know when we'll meet again some sunny day but every postseason moment with that MLB dot com at bat. The number one app for light baseball. It's the only place to get it Video highlights pitch tracking stat cast and watch more download at bat today so Cal you've been through the pen through the the order once. Now if you're Marcus Stroman if if you're in that Baltimore dugout what kind of talk has there been heading into this this fourth inning about seeing him for the second time around. Well a lot of times you talked about the movement of the pitch his fastball and whether he has a sharp break them all when he's getting it over or not. But I think most of the data you experience with the first at bat. and flew out to center field had a pretty good pass at it and you could see him kind of nodding his head looking at the pitcher saying OK I got you I got you. And moaning you know the speed of the pitch and maybe even making an impression on the swing maybe will allow you to look at another. So I think it's mostly personal. Less less sharing from everybody else does everybody goes up to the plate with their regular idea. But a lot of times and you know a pitcher you want to have some information from the hitters. What's his fastball going to sink in as a cut. That data is important but I don't think many know guys that well that's the conversation that's happening right one to pitch into right field he served it out there and picked up the first hit on the night for the it out there and picked up the Sam Ryan spoke with Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. John you said Marcus was the perfect guy to start this game we saw what he did last October how much of that do you see we saw what he did last October Well Sammy he looks really good. You know I meant that there's more to it that he's always looking in numbers and in a one more to it that he's always the emotion till it's very good to you know we get the big homerun by 0 0 over there. They're both sticking it pretty So I mean there's a lot of game How much did that homerun the one run settle everyone down. Well it helps you like been a couple of guys on base when he did it but you don't think about couple of guys on base when he I mean he's got the knack for those two big things at the right time and so you know who knows how long he's in town playing and down here. So I know you definitely want to go with a bang anyway. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Young Sue Kim at the plate with Adam Jones on board. Nobody out there in the top half of the Fourth there was the home run we talked about the game last week no closer pinch hit home run than won the game on the road for the O's now Baltimore is not a team that's gonna burn up the base pairs we had 19 stolen bases you ruined my question Irani asked if he was going to steal here. You know it's interesting as we've seen this many times in our postseason broadcast teams that don't do anything during sudden do something different in the postseason you know something it's hard to do things different in the postseason when you haven't done it in the season you'll see more but attempts in playing for one run. But if you haven't done it successfully here's the question. 3 2 to stay out of double play. As one of their hitters that is not a guy that strikes out as much as some of their big boppers I'd say be a good plan to run on his pitch there he goes. The 3 2 rounded the first then corners has one play and that's the step on the bag it does keep him out of a double play possibility as Jones was on the move. There's many ways to run the bases aggressively and this is one of the three in to count the start the runner so a ground ball then advances into scoring position stays on the double play. You had Bautista swinging on 3 and 0 and you had Jones running on the three to pitch I'm not keeping score though. Russell Martin the veteran out with his youngster young pitcher trying to instruct him what to do here with maybe one of the best players in baseball Machado up and you do have a lead but you don't. Yeah first base open also. Not that you'd walk on but you can pitch carefully to Machado. Ronny I'm thinking they forgot to say what side they're going to use with somebody on second. That happens to a ball and no strikes to Machado who popped out to short his first time. Orioles have their first base runner here in the fourth Adam Jones represents the tying run Truman's difficulties this year as this has gone through the lineups give up 20 home runs this year only one. It's the first time through the order five the second time through the order and 14 the third time through the order Yeah about a third. You should know what he has that doing to you. Well cat and mouse game here for Stroman in the shadow Stroman stepped up. Machado stepped out on the weather a little paranoid about Adam picking up the signs. Troy being in there he needs to know what the signs are to know no way to anticipate on each pitch. Interesting to the whiskey Rand touch second base right near Jones. I was always paranoid that those They're more apt to give size to all pitch but missed some Stroman who had it all his way through the first three. Now has the tying run at second and a three year old count to Machado who was swinging sometimes it's really difficult to convince yourself to swing on real when you feel like he's pitching around you a little bit. In the air right center field Bautista over I mean I don't watch all the Blue Jays games that every one I do. angle I was watching Batiste thought he was the only one to have a chance at the ball down the line and left pretty well hit that ball he's got the major league leader in the home runs has given Baltimore the lead that is pickles pop in Baltimore where we've got the camera and they are loving it has the Orioles take the lead here in the fourth looks like a low fastball say good fastball he's all over 94 miles an hour coming in I don't know how fast it went out but it went out pretty quickly talk about an emotional roller coaster in this this place is going nuts as Palau makes the diving catch in the gap in right center fielder and out away from getting out of it Trumbo turns on on the good the Orioles the lead tell me that it look exactly like Joe Carter down catch and a bullet one ball the two strikes to the switch hitting Orioles catcher had not been for the Orioles step to Stroman Mark Trumbo got what he liked and put it over the wall to the left and the Orioles lead it it to 1 tonight's 2016 a wild card coverage on TV yes as presented by hand Tiger Josh Donaldson swings at the first pitch it's over near the line and Wright will stay in play yes and boy Michael Board still got good speed and came all the way to make that play amazing how little things that a born with all that speed. This ball falls foul. But now with Horst love center fielder in his best days now playing right. He's made two great plays out there wanting the corner and that one after a long run. Here's Encarnacion the importance of defense for sure and even the little blooper too right. I thought he came in there and caught it really quickly. If you don't have that sort of defensive right fielder out there he could have a double or single and certainly there's a strike one and one Baltimore let all of baseball with two hundred and fifty three homers. The Blue Jays were third in the American League with two twenty one. Both teams have Homer tonight trombones a two run shot to start a solo shot and it's two more in Baltimore who spent some time talking about the little things the players can do in these big games. How about the manager Buck Shaw Walter sending Adam Jones if he doesn't. That certainly is a double play Trumble never comes to the plate there is three time manager of the year at each of those ten years apart with different teams two balls two strikes to Encarnacion running things like Tillman got the ball slider and his curve ball working many times you only have one of those breaking balls he's actually thrown both of those pretty effectively cut came up empty two down four strikeouts were still there. Let's take a look at stat cars powered by Amazon Web Services came in the top half of the second for the first time while he tried to pitch them inside. That wasn't effective and you're right. sometimes when you go sit on the pitch he's got to be able to get the pitch over the plate. pitch he's got to be able to get looking for a curve ball he's not getting it over now the blue jays if they go deep into the postseason it is going to have to have some fun because if he doesn't Martin tried to bond his way on his first time. He takes a straight this is the 40 night postseason game of Boston. MARTIN his career with the Dodgers and the Yankees and the pirates and the Blue Jays eleven seasons in the bigs and nine of them have ended up in the playoffs. There you see it. Russell Martin a mainstay in the postseason and he knows what this wild card game is all about to bet he does. Three balls and two strikes to Russell Martin straight change running. Look like he took a little bit off. I don't know a straight change but wasn't his good fastball 83 miles an hour. On Tuesday who was running on the 3 2 pitch retreats his former college teammate Russell Martin said get in the play if they were to pull up college in the Florida Panhandle. Three balls two strikes. Those ball to Stern again foul. The swing. The batter up and his swing at a particular pitch the three to change are prior to that fastball. Martin had a really good close look like he was on it. He countered with a fastball and got a fine even though one was able to follow the three to hit the second. Scott has a lot of time and throws out. MARTIN For the third out four innings in the books the wild card game this 2016 wildcard telecast on TV yes is brought to you by Chevrolet the most awarded card company two years in a row enjoyed the over one million small business customers who this 2016 A.L. wild card telecast on TV yes is brought to you by Chevrolet the most awarded card company two years in a row enjoying the over one million small business customers who prevail with the Hartford Bruce Davis leads it off in the top half of the Fifth and takes opinion from Marcus Stroman Stroman has four strikeouts. One of them Davis taps this one foul up toward first and into the hands of Wayne Kirby sort of top spot in the fourth inning after Stroman sailed through the first three but there is an Achilles heel for Chris Davis it's the ball up in the strike zone he likes it down but that is not a strength for strong his strength is on the knees I liken the Chris Davis swing Tennessee heck you see a lot of different approaches at the plate you see guys like Beltway go to one knee and swing like that. There is no swing on that pitch from babies born down in case and stirred. What's up in Atlanta all right. Thank you Chris. Here's Jonathan scope the best power hitting second baseman that no one knows about. I was going to say he's because he's still under the radar to an extent but that he's getting on more and more screen. Justin it's a fantastic play hardball the whole look fully lays out. But look how quick he gets up to strength of his arm pops up to his feet straight over the top tell what it was. I'm always amazed when I see a play like that at the speed at which guys get to their feet and make a strong throw. How do you how do you get your body to do that. I don't know anything about getting to your feet really I used to throw that play on one knee because it was much easier for me to prop up but many guys would push themselves up and get to their feet and make the play and part of making a play like that is to understand who's running that's going to be a two out single for Michael Board as Bautista played it on the hop go hiccup. I mean as emotional a pitcher as you'll see in all of baseball this Marcus Stroman seems like he lives and dies on every play. I know the Blue Jays haven't fielded well from an error standpoint in the month of September but they have some guys that can really play defensively. Porn is a threat to steal for the Baltimore Orioles. J.J. Hardy at the plate. Yeah. Two huge outs the Blue Jays on Sunday at Fenway Park. Wasn't really crazy about making outs in the bases he a steal and yet to have a high percent of the talking to book shelter and so you can't forget who you are. You score one for swinging the bat and they don't make it out of the bases. George still has good wheels. He stole a couple of bikes when he came over to the Orioles but he led the National League three years running the stolen bases from 9 to 11. I'd say this is a good chance to take right here. there he goes. Pitching the third guy you know the other thing Cal about that is many times the Stroman on a note to pitch you you're going to see the breaking ball. There's not a whole lot to lose You didn't have a base. They still were on first base for Stroman. He had a great play by poor in the last inning didn't help the great play but to its game this summer party went waited on a 1 2 while Russell Martin showing off his shortstop skills sometimes you can't worry about blocking the ball Michael Dawn inches away from second already. Well that was clearly low from the side over here but it looked pretty decent the way Russell presented the ball. What a great at bat by JJ Hardy with some help from two world three upcoming NBA season of endless possibilities tips off on TNT Tuesday October 25th. The guy who made that big time defensive play in the top of the fifth leads off the bottom of the four for the Blue Jays whiskey takes us through the war. We mentioned a little bit about work between these two teams. On July 30 first two bullets hit a home run Tillman is next time up. Lord's he wasn't too happy about it. Now he too has been swinging about well as of late but a good first his bat hit a ball right into the corner that Michael Vaughan chased down made a great play on his first time. You seen some pretty good leather here. You seen some pretty good think Joe Lewicki thought he missed the pitch here in town and it pops that up fighters to bat away to one asked me for. I think it was a straight He saw it and waited pretty well for it. Mr. that brings up Michael Saunders didn't mean to fouled it back. Saunders struck out his first time. Tillman has struck out for his walk toward that top court watching the monitor right there and then I saw the check swing Latino. r near the line in the run up to war. Well that's a fair ball bouncing into the seats for a double all the time running the second one down in the fifth there's Kevin blah get the job done with runners in scoring position to the tune of 324 this year last year with risk they hit over 280 this year with as Toronto's second hit of the night and represents the time wrong for waiting on a 1 to two way field. Born on the moon Kenny get Kelly you have to have a good look at Born on the moon Kenny get Kelly It seemed like he just missed it. Yeah it looked like he had a good bead on it. Was running over the ball was hit pretty hard. good friend Connie just uncalled the I can't see your that's just a face running a state from Sadr's guy on second base if you don't score. I can see with no outs makes a great play. You return to second base and to back doubles in the score quarters. But nobody scored film of the career. He did Square and took it well aware that the band exists. Johnson stopped sneaking into the second one in a way that fouls it back. Remember now. Cabrera on Saturday night in a game that the Blue Jays had to have had a sacrifice fly the drive in the long Tillman and get three hits for the seven eight and nine play center during the Blue Jays.

Screams at the first pitch and it to third there is born. There is two one pitch and a huge double play induced by Michael Gibbons tonight's 2016 wild card coverage on CBS is presented by hand could tired four and a third. Michael Gibbons came on through one pitch and a double play ball to keep the game tied top of the six zipping right along here in Toronto and Adam Jones leads it off on the second and third situation at your base at the center field if you look at the cut off here from this angle. Baltimore has made him a shadow and Chris Davis has a cut of one man who clearly was in the wrong spot and he turns around it makes a great play he started a double play a big double play to get him out of it. You see the regular season Adam Jones has established himself as one of the best son fielders in the game. think like most of us hitters that we get ourselves out we get overly aggressive. Adam Jones is like that. I think moving into the leadoff spot made him think a little bit more about getting a better pitch get on base still has the power from the leadoff spot to Sean here's that one pitch from Michael defense Manny goes to his left in tonight's quick throw one down now for Kim who's all for 2 Devin Travis throws him out quickly two down here in the six last six strong innings from strong one only gave up two runs is enough for doing that again there's many Machado who's 0 for 2 on his last trip he was robbed by Kevin Paul La with a diving catch right there five pitches in this inning you might think okay I got to make him work a little bit more of this my third hit that got him figured out pretty good deal rich with two out while you're taught as a pitcher any ball hit to the right side you always have to be aggressive and go cover because you just don't know what's going to happen. Talk about a lot of little things that could add up. He had to play at first base. gas powered by Amazon Web Services. The guy coming to the plate now Mark Trumbo and that's what he did. The top half of the fourth inning gave the Orioles a 2 1 lead. Right now we are tied 2 out of the 6 Blue Jays pitching coach out to have a word with Marcus Stroman. have been a play but if you would have covered first base Travis would throw it there and you might have had a close play at first base. Very well could have beat it out for him. The way the play was developing looks as though he had to play first pitch swinging again because it's still a tie game. If we head to the bottom half of the reds and the Warriors This Bud's for the Giants the jazz and the magic this Bud's for the home team this 2016 A.L. wild card telecast on CBS is brought to you by JAG Wah the art of performance and by USA a proudly serving the financial needs of current and former military members and their families a happening that will test the members and their families a relief pitcher Michael Gibbons and Josh Donaldson Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista in a tie game. The levels of Springsteen versus those trio hitters against Gibbons 0 for 15 lifetime Bo's obviously regular season as he makes his postseason debut stakes a little higher. But same result that year first time. Tonight's playmakers presented by the all new Chrysler Pacifica. You see the numbers on Edwin Encarnacion over the last five seasons a powerhouse see the shift again against Encarnacion. Gibbons is an unorthodox pitcher. Kind of swings it up there from the side with that good sinking fast ball and slider looks a little like he's short on the bowling ball just explodes out of his hand with some movement to pretty good sliders last few pitches. playing shortstop 96 strikeouts and seventy four and two thirds innings in the regular season. He struck out Donaldson to start the interesting when you see the defense for Baltimore always talking about shifts but for defense for Baltimore he's the causes that front side so you can see the number and name on his back and then the sleeve from the side that affect the pitch. And scope throws him out to open two down here with a six set of lines of communication with the Baltimore here's Bart Houston who opened the scoring at the site that ended with a solo free agents Encarnacion and Bautista. There was in the bottom half of the second inning but he's still There was in the bottom half of taking Chris Tillman this is a post season view he will never forget. Mark your calendars it's easy to remember the month NCAA March Madness returns to TV as CBS TNT and Tru TV beginning on March 14th we make our way to the top half of the seventh inning in the A.L. wild card game here on PBS thanks so much for being with us Ernie Johnson Ron Darling Cal Ripken Sam Ryan The winner goes to Texas to take on the Rangers I personally would have stayed with Stroman to see if he'd get one more ending out of them John Gibbons obviously disagreed brings in Brett Cecil to Martha High School University of Maryland here against the Baltimore Internet readers around to the right hand side and the left the lefty with Davis up toward third bear hand Donaldson and Cal when you're trying to make this play What's the toughest part about bare hands go on the run. Yeah I was just wondering why he was going to the ball was bouncing up a little bit and with wieners lack of speed over there you might have a choice to catch that with your glove but that's the way he makes that play puts him in a good position to throw off the right foot. What a great pick over there. Here's Chris Davis three Blue Jays on the right side that pitch in the dirt. Jays on the right side that terrible start to start the season. He's only gotten stronger though as the season has gone on. Sweeping breaking ball from Cecil wanted to give him a baseball glove for his birthday. His aunt got one that he had to put on the right hand is His aunt got one that he had to You know we said in the last thing that Baltimore's bullpen zero one point seven 0 since September 1st Toronto's four point six so in a tie game after six let's take a look at the art of performance presented by Jack Warner patiently the Texas Rangers to see who comes down to Arlington you know we've got two teams to get the ball. slashers with the glove as well. But the ball in the corner diving to his left an unbelievable play to the whisky guys up on his feet strong on flow the first race in Dallas and right here in the barium play gets him to lowers your personal favorite on that sound that way right. There is a certain something in your voice when you see a shortstop or a third baseman being an outstanding player quite well. That was something. So here we go. Joe be a genie. faces Jonathan Scott. That great play by the whiskey his last hurrah. The genius of Rule 5 draft team got two huge outs at Fenway Park on Sunday needs to do the same here tonight. 60 appearances in the regular season I think both of these managers are eyeing if they do get the lead multiple innings maybe for Osuna and Zach Britton closes on insta pitching and tie games or multiple innings for that matter Bill uses closers certainly that Cheney did not get the call. And then with the framing of from Gary see the shot it's ninety five. Pete will come back to the outside for hitters Michael Vaughan will meet again. Don't know where Don't know when we'll meet again some sunny day I know what that group is going to do they're going to stay tuned after the game for the postseason show on TV as presented by the Lincoln Motor Company Casey stern and Pedro Martinez Gary Sheffield and Jimmy Rollins Well his cruising speed as well as fascinating ones at regular speed. Gibbons out there. All right handed for the Toronto Blue Jays that plays into Kevin's abilities the scope was all the way to the other secondary side. back. For Michael Gibbons three strikeouts Well one of my favorite parts of the postseason is when you discover something that the Baltimore fans have seen all season long. The towns have given someone a lot of love. People don't know that we saw how talented he is tonight. I didn't see exactly what folks Walker said but I think it was shortly the begin with a left who thinks Michael Saunders drew up with Melvin Upton pinch hit for Saunders salvaged his career in San Diego this year until being traded over here to the final late kept that closed body the with the upper body and the slinging it from the side. Awfully tough on lefties Jim balls no strikes his release point is certainly lower than Gibbons from the writing side. You just don't know how a young pitcher with a couple stints with the club is going to react in a game with this magnitude and somebody threw something out of the stands with a bottle of water. Someone is retired. The conversation is about to commence. from the crib sheet about what happened at the end of the seventh inning. water it looks like a cannon as Kim settle back to make that play. I'm warning track and now the fans are filling what show balls off and then boom now of a snooze Didion's that's ruined it for the fifty thousand people here back to baseball Jason clearly on the mound now for like the rest of this Toronto bullpen this bench struggles down the stretch really had all those outstanding years in Pittsburgh when he was closer but his last turn the third and it's pitched he's given up 12 runs and five home run you know how you can help fan interference a left field away fielder with someone interferes with the ball that he's trying to catch you know with what just happened there. Kim doesn't make that he's got to be called out anyway because he was camped underneath it and was certainly he bats in the eights in the wild card game tying it to his bullpen is going to play never believe he got to try to get over a month shy of his fortieth birthday he's been through a lot in his career is overcome so global battle in the bullpen. He said it would be an advantage for bullpen on. We talked about every pitch has been argued by 50000 that's some kind of hitter up behind him. We want to get married a child to the plate and thought it We want to get married a child him Penn this season and he's in here in the eighth in a tie game. The first one to Kevin poor who leads it off in a tie game winner moves on to make Texas the last one for two. He doubled his last time into the corner and a ball that it looked Michael born with cash. He did not. Michael Saunders was at second didn't score on the play but eventually broke all season long this old right handed hitters struggled with right handers because of that CROSSFIRE. But he throws his old look here. You've got to be ready for the are all looking for ran up to ball. tied this game and the team you look at the Giants and scope at second base want to have speed and then get a pass the pitcher was the last pitch thrown by starting pitcher Chris Tillman so I'm trying to figure out whether it's an advantage to use or closer at home because that's only the conventional thinking in a tie game. So that space between Brock and Davis makes it a career of the pitcher. Brock this year three out of four have been successful the O2 on the ground to scope there's one relay got him double planting second time tonight the Travis game still time. We head to the four records and milestones presented by Jim our leaders all coming from the Baltimore Orioles over the last four seasons. First Davis a couple of times Nellie Cruz stood up to Mark Trumbull this year has led the majors and home runs and then earlier in this one. And the pirates in the late 40s and early 50s that was Mr. Ralph kind of those responsible tycoon for the home team this is where kind of those responsible tycoon What channel leaves it off swings with the first pitch off the end of the bag. He loves his fastball but it's come out from two straight He loves his fastball but it's challenge. Power and power. He held that leg kick and then snapped off a vicious slide. Take the qualifying offer of his team wanted to stay in the orange and black on a three and old count as a for seventeen with three home runs. He tried to hit number four tonight's twenty 2016 A.L. wild card coverage on TV as presented by the record this year was 54 and 17 when Thomason was third baseman for Oakland and the same ball by some Joe was thinking the same thing maybe calling him to get out of the game. Good good mix of his pitches to 1 0 slider to call the pitcher the swing I think he called it on defensive slider Batiste disagrees thought it was off the plate the swing side calls it a strike you committed pretty far out there as well could have been either way. Thanks he'll be the new Baltimore pitcher here in the bottom of the ninth. Back after this back here in Toronto bottom half of the ninth inning and other enforcement a lot of fun. inning and other enforcement a Just the unbelievable danger picked up by Brian Okay. The face Martin Martin two for 14 dead. Russell Martin is all for three rounded to third. Machado goes to second football to first double the third inning ending double play a first night. to game when an opportunity goes by the boards in the ninth for Toronto the first two guys on Adam's winning run in scoring position head on to another Baltimore double play. They also mount to double plays divide the leverage they came in on their first match doesn't get much better now or soon only two times a stretch more than an inning. Recently on Saturday night in Fenway was one of those Rick Davis swings and misses that exaggerated shift. Josh Donaldson was playing up this discouraging potential but maybe on the first pitch. What makes Davies so difficult for a pitcher of deal where they see the shift. Anything on the ground he might left center in left field. Once he gets it in the air the regular season that's down in the dirt. So on that shot of the shift you could see you see that they're playing and shaded the other way in the outfield and extremely to pull the giblets out. The trainer is coming three years ago. The chefs there had Tommy John surgery signed as a 16 year old from Mexico and there seems to be some concern but it doesn't seem like Roberto wants to leave the game. John Gibbons told us before the game that he's very careful with his 21 year old and he's gonna be careful here. Flashing back to the wild card game when Francisco Mariano was a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates now with the quaint old game it's one of two times that the home team has won in the wild card games since 2012. Well now we're into the starting pitcher. Part of the bullpen for the Blue Jays since September 28. We mentioned a couple of times with the Kim homerun to win it for Baltimore Mariano started that chain when six strong innings no runs in 10 strikeouts against his Baltimore team. He faces Jonathan scope who rounds one of looking at as soon as last couple of pitches we'll see his reaction a little grimace after that slide or something was wrong. Encarnacion signaled to the Toronto dugout and they came in at this time of night. Every pitch every play every call magnified and over one thing to get with Francisco is six years on he gets some length worlds of turn some really big double plays in this ball game. There's one is started by Manning with Channel 2 his left nights turn nights because first once they get with a quick turn and then this double play really once they get with a quick turn these guys on made that happen. That's not a that's not a rookie double play but they made it one two Lewicki Upton Killah coming up in the city oh for twenty five against down all day he said first big breaking ball at those side armors couldn't hit in the back yard when I was six and still can't hit sometimes and they get under it so much it up they developed his style his motion after being cut from the University of Florida baseball team when he was throwing straight overhead conventionally right in the summer league and then developed this taking you back to 1993. Totally iconic postseason home runs. Plus of all Joe back to back World Series for that talented Blue Jays team. And then came a 21 year drought before they went to the postseason and then returned last year at the dramatic win over Texas in the LA and Melbourne up to and Junior So small will be the head Jays of you six pitchers and now three VH smoke two 4 six off down all day. Here comes the 2 1 in solid three ball tibia strokes on that court the top 14 home runs and 34 runs batted in and one hundred and twenty six games this year to smoke their whole thing has gone inside the last three pitches on the phone thing has gone inside the last the plate is this one is way it was love down all day and the jam leads to us usually doesn't elevate the ball too much there's no way for smokers to get out in the air in his head is only a couple of feet from the ground is terrible day nobody on two outs bottom half of the teams he's 1 4 3 with a double ball tailing away but Adam Jones Paul at speed one two three tenths. Let's go to the eleven folks we posed the question several innings ago once the starters were gone. Who's eyes wide open on both sides. Minnesota Twins teammates facing off right here Francisco Mariano and JJ Hardy had a lot of heart contact here for the first three outs. contact here for the first three got to top the lineup now Adam Jones steps I'm always curious who they don't play no doubles too much anymore looks like Josh Donaldson is pinching the line or the take away their doubles I want to play their outfielders deeper Adam Jones eight to twenty one with three home runs off literally Arnaud he's got a single in four trips in his score runs struck out his last time and Brian dunks on the left hander Mariano with ninety six and ninety five trying to come in there Mr. mofo has balls in the hole two more and takes a in there Mr. mofo has balls in And you know he's a big guy. He uses his legs. He's kind of a running tonight's 2016 wild card coverage on CBS is presented by hand cook tighter. Folks in handcuffs are getting their money's worth tonight a big honor as we all are. Watch the newsstand. The wild card game getting to the bottom half of the 11th voted two to the new left fielder. Doug sings on. February released in March signed again by the royals on April 1st and then released in May and signed. Later that month by the Warriors he's going to face Ezekiel Corera to lead off the bottom half of the 11th career. It's been a real pain for the Orioles but on the nine twins part of the year Luciano with an effective ending a two thirds of dancing appeared in the the twins probably again next phase. Travis Donaldson and Connors us by piece with the right in the beginning of about Toronto Blue Jay Leno goes Ryan and here comes Ubaldo into the 11th and the wild card game. Back here in Toronto Bob Herbert is into the fray here on the 11th in Baltimore. Most of his year was forgettable and even had to go to the Most of his year was forgettable had no he didn't have any success. But in September he turns it around three and one with a two point three one he R.A. To up right to the top of the Toronto Water and Devin Travis who's all for four and twice hitting the inning ending double plays once upon a time. back in 2010 with all those issues especially early this season 72 looked like it got just enough count that fast forward down the middle here. SIMON Let's play a little bit for the first the third number. Number one on this team in Travis for him that's the ball and went from first to third. Donaldson Morehead some might have been able to take second on that play ball wasn't able to get there really aggressive baseball to come around looking for the opportunity to go if he didn't come up with a clean and he didn't hesitate. Defensively in September when they had the worst month of the season it's a defensive mistake by their opponents that help on the. Now still with the lawful take on the parents world war we're playing right arm extended and linked front of blue jays 6 to the Toronto Blue Jays into the LDS against the Texas Rangers and he knew it as soon as the ball left the bat. Scored a home runs from Bob Feaster and Encarnacion who might not even be with the ballclub next year. Feel free agents go down to the field and Sherman out here. I was having fun when you saw that your thoughts. Incredible. He got a pitcher had him here what it was supposed to happen was you know we made it to the next round and I was on the Texas one hundred and sixty two games to get here. This one takes two extra innings. This one takes two extra like. Since the first pitch the fans It was loud. Down here the energy was great. Hopefully we can continue to have that type of crowd for the rest of the playoff your home run to open the scoring in this one to do it here at home in front of these fans. Does that mean to you it means a lot. It always means a lot to do it at home. To put my team ahead and to do at home. great feeling and I'm glad to contribute to. Onto the ALCS. Now once again the Texas Rangers are looking forward to that one. We're all looking forward no matter who the opponent is. Everybody knows what happened this year.

Congratulations Allan Chernoff CNN walk off three run shot then he said as this night began it's going to be a brutal end of the season for one of these teams. That team is Baltimore. Baltimore spent all summer long bludgeoning people with the homerun hits the home run by the Blue Jays that's wins this ballgame. We talked about the bullpen that Baltimore had an advantage with their bullpen tonight for the Toronto Blue Jays five in his pitch no hits and no runs by their let's go back to Sam slam you may be right maybe you can't hear us. It is that wild down there. It is this loud down here. I'm watching the celebration. It's a pretty festive celebration over here. It spilled into the in the dugout right now.

Is this the game where Baltimore didn't put in Britton? That was such a mystifying decision...

[u/cantyouseeimblind]

When our sluggers could slug

When our role players played their role

When our trades picked up diamonds in the rough

When osuna was unstoppable and not an asshole

When Stroman was consistently nasty

How I miss those days

I didn't see this anywhere in the subreddit, but the 2016 AL Wild Card Game vs the O's is on right now. MLB is streaming it on all their social media platforms: YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.

This is the walk-off EE homer. With no baseball, it's nice to see.

Wasn’t this the game some guy chucked a beer at the Orioles outfielder, lost his job & banned for life?
