I did not realize that as soon as 2 years ago it had happened. So four times in the history of the game has a player struck out five times in a playoff game. I don't know who the other two guys are. How in the world do you come back from that kind of performance?

Sanders K'ed 5 times in a game the Reds won 10-1.  They then advanced to the NLCS against the Braves, where they were swept in 4 games, with Sanders going 2 for 18 and K'ing 10 more times.

Bader went 1 for 4 over the next two games after his 5 K game, but the Cardinals were swept by the Padres in 3 games, so their season ended.

Pipgras is a pitcher, so I kind of give him a pass (and the Yankees swept the Cubs in four games during that World Series, so he didn't appear again after his win/5 K game).

First time in MLB playoff history that two teams have gone into the 14th inning with no score.

[fan_since79]

Into the 15th inning and zero errors.

Tampa now threatening, 1st and 3rd and only one out.

Come on, get on the board!

[fan_since79]

This is getting a little ridiculous.

39 strikeouts, new record. Did I hear that correctly?

 

[beatlesrule]

Two batters in a row swinging at junk especially the last at bat.

[failos]

Haha see ya Rays

[fan_since79]

Finally!!

Rays deserved to lose this.

 

[beatlesrule]

Walk off home run! Guardians moving on!

[Blarg]

Damn, the game finally ended. I started watching in the 4th inning. Gonzalez knew it was gone the moment he made contact. 

[Blarg]

Maybe the Ray's will invest in some offense next year.

It's okay to not have much of an offense but you better have the pitching to make up for it and the Rays didn't.

The Rays allowed the third-fewest runs in the AL this year and only gave up 1 in 15 innings today.  It's the offense that's the issue.  They were 11th in the AL in runs scored.

Well I mean they shouldn't have allowed any runs with how bad their offense was.

[beatlesrule]

Springer might have hurt his wrist. Took his glove off after he caught that ball.

Another home run for hernandez! 4-0 now Blue Jays. Ray out of the game.

@AngelsLakersFan thinks the M's are happy spending $115M on him.

Nope.  All of these first round games are played at the home field of the higher-seeded team.  No traveling.

Oh wow, I had no idea. 

Since that's the case, the M's are hosed!

And no days off, either.  Any series that goes to a third game will be played tomorrow.  Then there's one off day before the next round starts on Tuesday.

As well it should be.

I'm not exactly sure the M's ARE hosed? They're rallying as I'm writing....
