Toronto Blue Jays fans are quite upset with Addison Barger after how things played out at the end of game 6 resulting in a Los Angeles Dodgers win.
The Dodgers forced a game 7 tonight with a 3-1 win despite a late boost in momentum from the Blue Jays, they were unable to get back into the ball game and Los Angeles will be sending Shohei Ohtani out to start.
Blue Jays fans are upset with Addison Barger's base running
The 9th inning got off to a hot start after Alejandro Kirk got on base after being hit by a pitch which Myles Straw came into the game to replace him.
Barger then came up to the plate and hit an incredible double which caused some chaos as the ball got stuck under the outfield wall.
ADDISON BARGER HAS THE JAYS SET UP WITH RUNNERS AT SECOND AND THIRD
Blue Jays fans began to believe they could win once again with runners at second and third but it all came crashing down when Bargen made a base running mistake as he was to far off second base and was picked off after a Andres Gimenez hit a pop fly.
What on earth was Addison Barger doing?
Fans were not pleased with Barger's base running to say the least as they could not understand why he was so far off the base when the ball was not certainly going to hit the ground.
Addison Barger hitting what could have been a game-tying inside-the-park HR in the bottom of the 9th but instead losing the game for your team by getting doubled up wandering off second base is pretty much the craziest 180 you could dream up
