He came off. The umpire was right on top of the play. No way this gets overturned.

Nice play Moose. Should had pocketed that, Omar.

And to make matters worse (for them), that franchise has nothing in the farm.

[Coach]

Boom. Call stands.

[petegz28]

what a dumbass, stealing 3rd with 2 outs down by 6 in the 2nd?

[Al Bundy]

Stupid baseball by the Jays.

[tk13]

Way to run yourself out of an inning in a 6 run game.

[C3HIEF3S]

I think it was pretty clear that he was off. IMO, that's a nice call by the ump.

Right now, no. It's pretty barren. They probably can get something out of Cespedes and Price though.

[petegz28]

With Detroit batting, Minny scores another 2 runs!!! /jk

Detroit scores...now 2-1 Minny

[Dartgod]

What a dumb move for him to even attempt that steal down 6 runs.

The Jays heads are not in this game today at all.

David Price? Yoenis Cespedes?

I'd take either if the price weren't exorbitant. Would be tough to do, though, with the idea that if you traded for Price, he could be headed right back to Detroit in free agency.

[petegz28]

There ya go, Moose. Moose and Hos both going oppo today....good things....good things

[bsroyals54]

nw yahsja WHAT? 6-0 2ND INNING?? I'll take it I guess.

Well yes I wasn't thinking of those two as well, but even with that, the Tigers should be asking for a kings randsom for those 3. I'm more leery on Price though because it seems like he has a lot of mileage on that arm (and I could be wrong).

[petegz28]

ugh...well let's just get it over quick
