Still remember Curt Schill saying "destiny" and "aura" sound like a couple of strippers.

Before punking NYY when Shill was on AZ Dbacks.

I am guestimating there will be a one run game.
Dk if it will be Game 6 or 7.

Toronto stadium going to be lit.

Roberts bad managing decisions has been masked largely by the supreme raw talent they have on the roster. Any other club and his terrible decisions would have gotten him the sack long ago.

The most confusing one is Glasnow starting Game 3 instead of Ohtani. WTF especially after the Dodgers had a nice layoff before the World Series. So now stuck with Glasnow starting Game 7 instead of Ohtani with no Yamamoto to bail him out in the pen. And how you gonna run Ohtani out of the pen? Fucking Roberts, could have had Ohtani starting with Glasnow in the pen if he had a room temperature IQ. Of course moot point if the fucking bats only give Yamamoto one run to work with tomorrow. On top of that Ohtani gets to keep hitting if you pull him off the mound as a starter but as a reliever it's game over for him if you yank him. Fucking Roberts didn't gameplan any of this shit out, what a retard.

What a choke job by the Jay's.

I don't see them recovering from this debacle.

GG Doyers. Gratz on the repeat.

Eh they recovered from the 18 inning marathon quite nicely.
I did think a couple errors changed Game.
1-2 count on Mookie with bases loaded. Throwing a belt high slightly inside fastball. 100% Mookies wheelhouse.
Absolutely should have wasted a pitch there / given him only corner stuff.
I saw that replayed in about 4 key at bats on both sides.
Yamamoto was getting bailed out by some ill advised swings by several Blue Jay at bats. Am i saying Yama sucked? Not.at.all.
I'm saying don't bail him out. Like Patty Mahomes/MVP refs combo, don't aide and abettethem will silly self induced errors.
Speaking of which the game ending below little league base running error that would have cut the Dog lead to 3-2. Sub zero BBIQ and awareness.

Schez is gonna keep it close IMO. Hoping Ohtani is not having one of his lights out pitching games.

Starting pitcher vs Starting pitcher also lead off hitter.

 

[Fabbs]

a. Vlade thought that was a ball. Why?
b. Faux doesn't even bother giving us the overhead shot to confirm or deny. Nor have the e box up.
Smells.

tbh sure looked like it got plate to me, not even that close. Strike 3.

 

[dastexan]

Nice of MLB to give Ohtani extra time to warm up no other pitcher would have received.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Fuck you Dave Roberts. Anyone with a room temperature IQ could see Ohtani vs the top of their order again was a disaster in the making with how poor his control has been tonight.

 

[Mugen]

Should have been pulled immediately after the 2nd. What a fuck up by Roberts with Glasnow fresh.

Well Dave Roberts isnt known for his managerial skills now....

Same dumb motherfucker who put Treinen in Game 3 in a tied game in the seventh to nearly piss the game away after not making the obvious call of starting Ohtani Game 3 so he could start Game 7 with a reasonable amount of rest. Then can't believe how long he stuck with Pages. Fire that fucking moron.

 

[Lefty20]

If any lineup can overcome a early 3 run deficit its this Doyers lineup, tbh.

 

[Kick-Stand]

Jays could just sit down in the batters box every at-bat and they'll still win the game 3-1 the way Betts, Freddie, and Teo are hitting.

 

[Lefty20]

Doyers with 2 on and 0 outs in the 6th.

Yeah, this Jays lead aint gonna last much longer.

 

[Lefty20]

Doyers got this. They still got their Ace Will Klein in their back pocket.

 

[Robz4000]

Zero surprises tbh. Doyers winning the next four or five as well.

 

[Lefty20]

Gratz Doyers!

Jesus Christ winning that game on solo HRs. Yama with 3W in the craziest WS I have ever seen and Will Klein gets a ring for his legendary Game 3 performance.

How inspiring to see a team persevere through the highest payroll in MLB history to win a title. What an whatever-you-would-call-the-opposite-of-Cinderella story.

I don't even know what that means... I don't really follow baseball... but I know this modern Dodgers team is definitely pay-to-win. Hopefully this owner doesn't find a way to take this bullshit to the Lakers.
