Related: About this forumAfter 19 innings in Toronto, Cleveland extends their winning streak to 14.
Wild game saw multiple Toronto ejections, two Blue Jays positon players take the mound (Goins and Barney), over 500 pitches thrown and the teams leaving a total of 34 runners on base. Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer who was supposed to pitch Saturday got the win. Carlos Santana went deep in the top of the 19th for the win.

(3,286 posts)Is Cleveland so pathetic that they'll do anything to beat Toronto? The NBA playoffs were quietly managed, but last nights game was blatantly obvious. It's time they started cracking down on "suspiciously incompetent" MLB umpires.
It is truly amazing that the USA is yippin' and yappin' about PED's and growth hormones and all the cheating everybody else is doing, while their own sports leagues are rife with corruption.

(31,067 posts)The umpire's strike zone has been a contention since baseball began. All umpires are different, and it's part of the game for batters to adapt to their nuances from contest to contest. Any fan knows this. Toronto players earned their ejections for being big babies.
Furthermore, to suggest that a conspiracy exists to favor small market Cleveland teams or that they even have clout to fix games is about as ludicrous as it gets.
