I only caught bits and pieces of the game. And I completely missed the bottom of the 10th. Can someone explain what happened on the Javy AB? Or is there video anywhere? From what I heard on the radio, Lopez was paying attention to the base runner on third and just forgot to throw over to first?

Yep. Javy swung at a 3-2 that bounced in front if there plate. It got away from Lopez a few feet to his left but not far enough to warrant Baez reaching. Lopez kind of froze and then realized he should throw to first but it was far too late. It was like he didn't realize it was strike 3.

I'd like to think the Cubs can take credit for leaving him dazed with all of the foul balls they were rocketing into his gut.

I appreciate a three game sweep heading into another two weeks of playing bad, bad baseball teams. This is the stretch where we put our boots on the throats of the NL Central

It's on the MLB videos page for the game on MLB.com.

I personally think even if the catcher had been playing it correctly, it would have been a fairly close play at first after he had to look down at third first. But when he froze, there was no chance to get Baez.

I saw Joe mention it after the game, but Javy busted his ass out of the box. Javy earned that, even if the catcher did screw up.

Wanted to see what Blue Jays fans were saying about the series, and I stumbled upon a message board where this was one of the most commented topics:

Poor guys. I just finished their game 1 thread. So much hope even after that loss.

 

 

Yeah it looks like the board was attacked and down the last 2 days so I couldnt read their reactions to the comeback yesterday

That is unfortunate. I was really hoping to read the insanity from yesterday.

I was at the game the comeback was amazing. There were a lot of Blue Jay fans there it was impressive. Watching the Miggy homer was soul crushing.Then Justin Wilson + Koji being terrible was hard too watch as well. Thankfully though the catcher they replaced Miggy with was god awful and he forgot to through the ball to first on that dropped 3rd strike. Avila with the clutch single and Javy speed won us that game.
