It wasn't that long ago and sports betting was obviously already a thing, but today, Andrus' errors, all of them pretty routine plays, would be heavily scrutinized by the gambling community.

But yes, the very intricate sequence of events to just get to Bautista, made his HR really that much more incredible.

And to me it was like the Carter HR in the sense that you really weren't anticipating a HR, just hoped in both cases that he could get a single to tie or take the lead in the game. In both the 93 and 15 game, the Jays grinded out at bats to get on base and into scoring position, and you hoped for that to continue...and then in both cases the small ball inning get blown up with an HR.
