Rule of thumb , Runner should always be the same distance away from base as the 3rd baseman is away from base.
The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays
- Thread starter Toronto Passions
- Start date
Interesting article in the New York Times about his lead.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa was told to stick to third. Did it cost the Blue Jays a ring?
The Blue Jays had plenty of chances to win their first World Series since 1993. But none will be more scrutinized than IKF in the ninth.

The irony here is Barger slowed down to avoid the double play.
To avoid the tag as he was running right into the second baseman just before the ball arrives with time to then throw to first. It was heads up on Barger here and not another baserunning blunder.
As for running through home plate that's easy to say knowing the catcher extended out to catch the ball.
If it was thrown high and the catcher extends up that's a potential huge collision. Just before the ball arrives he's staring at the catcher standing right on the plate.

it was heads up on Barger to avoid the tag from who? I'm suggesting a hit-and-run or something more aggressive.

What sport are you watching? Did you just start watching baseball this playoffs?

They missed beating the two richest teams in MLB by one run. The Yankees, Dodgers, an unreal achievement.
Watching this to cheer up. Jays will be back in the hunt next season.
I'm predicting a lockout, then a hard cap, and current contracts grandfathered.
We must not be talking about the same play. It was actually Kirk going from 1st to 2nd that slowed down to avoid the tag. Barger was running from 2nd to 3rd and he didn't stop. If you're referring to the final play of the game Barger didn't stop running there either. Hindsight is always 20/20. If you know for certain Kirk is going to hit a broken bat grounder then sure do the hit and run. However, if Kirk swings and misses and Barger gets thrown out then the game is over or if it's a ball and Kirk doesn't swing and Barger gets thrown out you lose your sacrifice opportunity since now there's 2 outs with 2 strikes on Kirk.

was the series lost because of a broken bat swing?
Last thing kirk wants to do is hit grounder but the freakin bat broke
crazy
Here's the slide.

2,1 mln. weergaven · 3 d. reacties | A tie. Game 7 of the World Series, Blue Jays vs Dodgers. Rogers Stadium in Toronto. Bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded. 1 out. A ground ball forces Isiah Kiner-Falefa home. He slides. The catchers foot lifts off the base before the catch. Does it come down in time to get IKF out? The umpires say yes. The review stands. But, I had to take a look. My ruling? So damn close, but out. 😭 | Boxer Shorts Media Podcast by Joe Ward

Who freakin said that was the reason they lost.
Dodgers executed when it mattered most and the pressure was at it's peak both on offense and defense. Excellent management by Roberts as well. They won because of Yamamoto and clutch home runs.

strongly disagree
Jays outplayed Dodgers by almost every metric
Dodgers won because there were 3 very close games and they won them all
Such games are chance wins
Such things happen in sports
C'est la vie
This is accurate, maybe they need to sign trevor Wong to compete against the Japanese Dodgers.
Let's not pinch a Loafs on the Jays.
As much as Russ Atkins has been maligned , his strategy of defense first came to within one run of winning it all. There's some tough decisions to be made in the off-season.

Yes, but the Jays didn't win it all. I would have felt much better if the Dodgers beat the Jays 4-0. In my opinion, Varsho and Lukes especially really let the Jays down in games 6 and 7. The Jays will never live this world series loss down, and like I said in my previous post, the Jays won't get back to the world series for at least 10 years.
I think the Jays should resign Bo. Rogers can easily afford it. With that being said, some other good free agents might be available, if Bo is asking for way too much money.
