Surprised there wasn't a view from right field. Needed that to be conclusive I think.

If they get these reviews wrong half the time, what's the point?

Jays can't get out of their own way.

Inning should be over.

Now it's 1st and 3rd, and Loop is into the game

Forgive me for the fact that my confidence isn't high with respect to how this will play out

I don't get it… Why would he think it was a good idea to attempt to steal home?

I like it, personally - put pressure on the other team

It took a near perfect throw from Loop to just barely get him.

But then why don't teams do it more often? Was there something he saw that made him think he'd have a good chance?

I can't respond to the 2nd part.

As to the first, surprise is key. And pressure is a bigger factor in bigger games. And the Jays had already dropped a ball at 3rd on a stolen base, thrown a ball away at first, and made several bad throws defensively.

Also, Loop owns Bradley Jr, apparently. So the odds were against Boston with 2 down.

Stealing home is amongst the most bad-ass things you can do in baseball, even if it doesn't work.

Also, if Loop doesn't make a good throw and he is safe, that is a dagger int the hearts of the Jays.

"we can do anything against you guys - we can even steal home!"
