Soto down 3 games to 0, down 2-0 in the first and stares down the pitcher for 10 seconds after a walk

Huge Freddie Freeman fan going back to Atlanta, he's a 1st ballot Hall of Fame player at this point if he wasn't already
-Yankees just got a much needed Grand Slam, be interesting if they win a game or two and see where this ends up

Season ticket holders from my understanding and very proud that they patrol that wall
I am surprised the Yankees banned them from Game 5 honestly
What Americans buy 81 sets of tickets to try and watch Baseball on a T-W-Th night?
The Yankees should be careful how harsh they are on fans they normally love to have in the building
-I think it's the turning point the Series and the Yankees win again tonight and take this back to Los Angeles for Game 6 and more nights of fun

Tonight: The Yankees to really get back in this Series need to not only win tonight but jump on the Dodgers early and get a big lead after say 4-5 innings.
If the Yankees could get Cole off the mound at around 75 pitches, they might have him in their back pocket for a possible Game 7 or at least a chunk of it.
If somehow the Yankees could get up by the 3rd or 4th inning and really cut down on Cole's pitch count tonight, this is the World Series, they could even summon him out of the bullpen next game if they need to. Cole winning a 2-1 pitchers duel where he has to throw more like 100 pitches and leaves in the 7th inning, that basically puts him off the table back in LA
Interesting to see how this will play out tonight
The starting pitches both sides seem a little questionable, guess injuries have hit hard lately, looks like Tyler Glasnow is injured again, always on the DL/IL in St Pete

Interesting stats.... Of the 24 teams to go down 3-0 in the WS, 21 of them (and 9 straight prior to this year) lost Game 4 and were swept. And, no team ever to go down 3-0 has gotten to Game 6 (meaning on the rare occasion that they've avoided the sweep, they've all lost in 5).
That said, the momentum did certainly feel like it swung in NY's direction last night. Mostly in the sense that some of the bats that had been quiet seemed to either wake up (or are on the verge of doing so). Will be interesting to see what happens tonight, and if they can continue to gain momentum.
All of THAT said, even if this goes back to LA, the chance that this series ends in anything but a Dodger WS title is very small. But, hey, as a pretty neutral baseball fan, anything is better than a sweep, and the longer it goes the more entertaining it becomes.

This is a dicey proposition. They have to win tonight so risking the bullpen (which has been used a lot as it is) is a huge risk to limit Cole to the point of being available in relief for game 6. They are more likely to take him out after 6 IP and if he could be around 80 pitches me could likely be ready to come back in some capacity in game 7. But they have to win this game before those thoughts can even get close.

Agreed on Game 7, good points

I disagree MOP.
In fact I would ban them from season tickets and let another fan scoop up the tickets. Because they won’t have any issue getting two more people to take their seats.
That kind of outright buffoonery has no place in a baseball park.
Utterly embarrassing for the Yankee Nation. Seriously. That was pure garbage. Get them the f*** outta there.

Quite frankly….when yer down 3-1 in a series you are managing for a plane trip back to LA.
If Cole is dominant you are paying this horse to be a horse. Let him carry you back on the plane. You can assemble what you need for games 6 and 7. Rodon and Schmidt are highly capable of winning too with the bullpen.
In the meantime Boone who I have been a staunch defender of in the past is making me pull my hair out batting Jazz 4th who is 0-13 with RISP.
Stanton needs to be hitting 4th and now that Wells finally broke out….move him to 5th and drop Jazz to 6th. I like Jazz…..but he has been abysmal at the plate and going from playing in front of 2K in Miami to the World Series with the Yankees has made his bat……go cold. He has played a very good 3B…..but his bat has been a huge liability (so was Wells in all fairness but Wells has more power potential now that he had a break out game).
Just my opinion on that aspect.
Remember this is a small sample size. While Jazz hasn't been producing I don't mind his plate approach. He hasn't been way off pitches to the point of looking foolish (which he does when he is really struggling). I think he is pressing and that is more of the issue. He seems to be just missing a couple pitches and it's just takes squaring one up to get going again.

I can't get over those clowns on the right field line. Just read how they actually think they "Patrol the wall"?!? You got to be kidding me. What, are they 10 and rode their dirt bikes there?
The one that looks like an albino Grimace, he thinks he's Jack Nicholson at Guantanamo Bay. And his sidekick wearing sunglasses at night is just carrying out orders on Private William Santiago (Mookie).

How bout we don't let Freeman park one tonight? I feel like that needs to be said.

Yankees would be the 1st team since going down 3-0 in the WS to push it to Game 6 if they win tonight, do I have that right?
B2B Home Runs, lot of momentum for the Yankees, they should save Cole if they blow this open early

funniest thing i’ve seen about that guy is he was friends with Gronk in college and even Gronk called the guy an animal but also congratulated him on doing what he did

The Dodgers won 98 games and don't have a single starting pitcher with over 140 innings pitched on the season?
Of the 1 with over 100 innings pitched, Glasnow is unavailable, these pitchers are not the most impressive that LA keeps rolling out there
Walker Buehler started last night, he's 1-6 on the season with a 5.38 ERA, that was the best they had in a closeout game last night?
This Jack Flaherty is a decent pitcher but he's got 10 starts and like 50-60 innings pitched on the season, does he really have the experience needed for a closeout Game 5?
Who do the Dodgers plan on starting Games 6 and 7?
Yamamoto I assume will be ready?

The season ticket holder likely thinks he should be starting for the Yankees and the only reason he isn't is that a HS Coach just held him back along the way
he was looking to do media interviews after the game, he wanted to answer questions
The 2nd guy that grabbed Betts right arm/hand for some reason was a lot more egregious to me than the idiot trying to pull the ball out of the glove
I was surprised Mookie didn't pull one of them down by their jersey and start puching them but he was way too smart and didn't let it bother him
Since that turn of events though, Yankees have outscored them 14-2 I believe and the fan base last nigh inside the Stadium was not embarrassed by what these fans did
Now maybe today in hindsight some of them might say they didn't fully understand what happened and think it wasn't right but in the moment that stadium ignited
It might have been exactly what the yankees needed to get kick started
