Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Just imagine if Bautista wasn't left on deck in the 9th due to the HP ump saving Wade Davis. How much would you have put down that he'd have hit home run #3 that game? The guy was scaring you guys shitless all series.

I don't have to imagine some fantasy. My team actually won.

Thanks to the umpires, yes.

Bengals fans are a disgrace who can't accept the game being called fairly (see the obvious DPI in Sunday's game) whereas the Jays fans' gripes arising from that game are clearly legitimate. Clear distinction there, but I see how it can be easy to confuse the two.

Then take it to a Jays board. Bringing it up here is just sad.

I'm just responding to someone posting a flag of the 2015 WS to a post that had nothing to do with that. If you have a problem with a perfectly legitimate reply to that, take it up with him.

UMPIRES MISSING ON BALLS AND STRIKES!?! IN THE MLB?!?

At least his strike zone looks consistent!

I'm OK with that flag being posted for literally any reason.

Didn't make either of those calls in that location for the entire night. We all know what went down there.

That 2-1 strike call to Revere. Holy shit. Would be beyond livid if I was a #Jays fan right now. That likely gave the game to the #Royals.

The tweets from that night paint quite the picture, indeed.

It was so upsetting to someone bringing up the nature of that game in response to a flag that they had to change my name.
