Nothing Dyson said or did after the home run was admirable, honorable, or worth emulating.

His first home run was a monumental one for his career, as it was career home run No. 300. It marked their first home playoff win since 1993. His biggest home run hit for the Jays since he became part of the team in 2008.
Dickey started Game 4 and staked the Jays to a 7-1 lead before being pulled by Price with two outs and one man on in the fifth inning. “Just kind of respect the game a little more“.
We’re supposed to have evolved beyond displays of incoherent rage. As the bat flips go higher and higher into the air, the conversations pick up in frequency.
Oscar has a long connection with his idol, known to fans as Joey Bats.
Just as Martin’s not supposed to hit the batter with a throw, Elvis Andrus and Mitch Moreland, who are both good defensive infielders, aren’t supposed to commit errors on three consecutive plays, but that’s what they did to open the bottom of the seventh. “What we saw with the officer behind the plate is a flawless example of that”. “It shouldn’t be done”.
“For me, you know, I’ll do my thing”.
Still, it will take shortstop Elvis Andrus and his teammates – and fans – a few time to get over how it all ended.
“He said nice beard, bro”, the young fan said with a smile.
After an AL-high 95 losses a year ago, Texas was 8-16 and already 9 1-2 games out of first place a month into this season. You should really read the whole thing, because it’s a terrific illustration of how the game is perceived differently around the world.
“The actions you take will not affect the outcome of the game, only effect the perception of #Toronto”. But the underlying roots in how each has perceived the game as he’s learned it may add additional distance to the divide between them.
Bautista’s epic blast has sparked a debate amongst fans, though. Those are the replays that will haunt them from TV and Internet highlight reels for the rest of their lives.
It was another freaky ending to a Texas Rangers season. It didn’t seem real until Hamels had been chased and Sam Dyson – probably the Rangers’ best reliever down the stretch – was watching Jose Bautista put the Blue Jays up for good with a prodigious three-run home run.
That being said, they’re still wrong.
“Seriously. Elections Canada should consider setting up polling stations in sports bars on Monday night”, Conway Fraser, a self-described communications strategist, tweeted shortly after Major League Baseball announced the timing of the game. Bautista’s blast was one of those moments. “I’ll be very cautious with it”, Schwarber said.
The game is at its best when its biggest moments are allowed to shine brightest.
