Watching Yamamoto come in for relief and shut the Jays down is giving me terrible flashbacks

Had the same thought.
Nah. It reminds me of Randy Johnson in 2001. Hell of a performance by Yamaoto.
Right? The bad man who just won’t go away
Yep. Tying run left standing on third was the insult to injury.
I was thinking the same thing as well.
Should have sent Gordon.
How DARE you put this on my feed
Thought the same then afterwards thought “wow an un bias commentator compared to buck with mad bum”
AUGGGGHH!!!!’
winning it all in 2015 erased so much pain this wouldve let linger for years
Pain.
I was telling my mom the same thing
Both legendary performances. I wonder if that contributed to him really falling off after his age 26 season. Then again he hurt his shoulder in a dirt bike crash at that time too. Maybe neither maybe both. Always respected the hell out of him.
Exactly what I said to my wife. “This feels like 2014 all over again.” I’ll never forget the name Madison Baumgardner. It haunts my dreams to this day.

Keep that man off this thread.
Edit: that man being Bumgarner
Maybe the Blue Jays can come back and win it all next year?
That and 2015 season made it hard for me to root for the Bluejays this series. KC got the best of them in the ALCS, but I still hold some silly sports grudge against them.
A few bunts and/or steals and the Jays would have won that in the 9th with a run or two to spare. Zero aggressiveness on the base path. They were trying to put hero swings when they just needed a hit or two. It was so infuriating to watch and I don’t even give a damn about them.
I was at game 7 and remember booing him as he came in! Haha even thou a lost one of my favorite in person experiences!
