Game 314 - Toronto Bluejays at Kansas City Royals

October 23 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, MO
ALCS
Fox

We went nearly the entire baseball season without Harold Reynolds, but that all changed on Friday in game six, a 4-3 Royals' win that clinched their second straight pennant.

Let's take a look at his finest moments:

* Salvador Perez simply A) blocked a strike 3 in the dirt, B) looked back a runner at second and C) threw to first to complete the strike out. Reynolds: "that's next-level stuff right there."

Isn't that just THIS level stuff?

* Mike Moustakas hit a second-inning home run. Eventually Reynolds said this: "if we're playing wiffle ball in Joe's backyard, that's probably a triple."

Pardon?

* The 'Joe' mentioned in the previous couple sentences was play-by-play man Joe Buck, and at one point he mentioned how there was rain in the forecast for the late innings. Reynolds said: "you found a way to silence me, Joe. (now quoting Buck) 'The rain is coming'. "No! Please!"

If only that was all it would take, Harold, just some rain.

And some other nonsense:

* Pinch-runner and potential tying run Dalton Pompey steals second in ninth: "What a money bag!.....that is a money bag."

So, a money bag?

And with Pompey on second and Kevin Pillar batting: "I can't believe how different the game is. Man at second nobody out, we don't move him."

9 seconds later, Pompey stole third.

* On it being a little more humid at the start of the game: "...and you get a nice lather going."

* And finally, it was a 2-1 game in the seventh and Reynolds said: "this has been a tight game."

Thanks, Harold! You mean at no point in this game was a team ahead 14-0?

11-3?

Harold!
