When did you turn the TV off?

[Frobby]

For me, the instant I realized that ball was headed for the stands, I turned my TV off. Didn't even wait for Encarnacion to get to 3B. The last thing I needed was to watch the Blue Jays celebrate or the announcers doing their interviews and post-mortem. I hate it when the Orioles' season ends, whether it's after Game 162 or Game 7 of the World Series, and losing that way to that team is something I did not want to wallow in.

I muted the sound after the HR. I waited till Pedro Martinez and his crew came on to un-mute it. At some point, I multi-tasked and turned to OH and then I put the captions TV on with the sound down and listened to the O's postgame show and 105.7's guys to weigh in. It was a mult-tasking masterpiece overload. I think it's called shock.

I was at a sports bar and the second he hit that ball, I couldnt find the girl to pay my bill fast enough.

As soon as Encarnacion's bat hit that ball, I turned it off.

After the HR. Then I drove home and cried. Went to bed afterwards and am now preparing for a hurricane.

[Ripken]

After Ubaldo's first pitch. I could have hit that.

I turned it off as soon as the ball landed in the stands. I could not watch that team celebrate. I put it on something else for a few minutes, finished my beverage, and went to bed.

I turned it off after the first hit. I knew where it was headed. I just followed the game thread at that point.

As soon as Encarnacion's bat hit that ball, I turned it off.

Yup. Had my finger on the trigger during all the potential walk-off innings. The second it hit the bat, TV was off.

[TouchemAll]

When the walk off cleared the fence... I could not stand seeing that slime of the team and fans celebrate and I knew it was coming sooner then later.

There might be something I don't know about him but Encarnacion is one of the guys on that team I don't mind. Anyway though I waited until the ball went in the stands, shut the TV off before he got to second base.

As soon as I saw the ball go in the stands and the all the fans cheering, I felt sick and immediately put it on NFL network. I will not be watching anything baseball related for probably a week. This loss really stung, they all do but this one really sucked.

[sportsfan8703]

I put it on ESPN right after the HR because I didn't want to watch the celebrating and wanted to hear Buck do a real press conference.

I spent the first couple innings trying to synchronize the O's home radio broadcast with the TV picture (via MLB.com audio with a delay), finally got it, and when the ball was the in the air, stopped watching and just listened to Joe Angel. Better to go down with the hometown guys.

[Aristotelian]

When it was in the stands. I was hoping it might might might go foul. TV was off before he rounded the bases.
