World Series heading to Game 7

Blue Jays massively shit the bed in the bottom of the 9th, 2nd and 3rd no outs, and then a very soft infield pop up and then Barger gets doubled off on a line drive to Kike.

Holy Jesus what was Barger doing?

Barger just flat out crapped the bed. One of the all time worst base running blunders Takket Oct 31 #5

It was bad. Maybe not Babe Ruth getting thrown out trying to steal second to end the 1926 Series, bad, rsdsharp Oct 31 #6

You cannot get doubled off there. Little League stuff.

If it had fallen for a base hit in front of Hernandez and Barger was staying close to second, he might have gotten thrown out going to third base. I suppose he could have just not taken third in that situation, but it'd be exceedingly rare not to advance at all on a base hit.
