No revision, just facts. As Enoch says, that bloop doesn't hit the ground and the game is effectively over. Even if Springer backs off and lets it bounce but stays in front of it, there is no collision and maybe only one or two runs score, Jays still have the lead.
Romano had just clutch struck out two straight Mariners with all those men on base. And then got the lazy pop up that every Jay and Jay fan wanted 100% of the time in that situation.
And Jays got 12 hits and 4 walks..what's your point? Most of the Jays hits were a lot harder, removing luck as this hit was, for whatever that's worth....and Ms used 8 pitchers to that point as opposed to 4 for the Jays.
