What a series

 

[bagger]

That’s what you get for looking like a beer league softball player.

 

[Chaos34]

i watched 2 baseball games this year. man, i love this game i hate.

 

[Dennis Castro]

Now I can pull this crowbar off of my throat. Baseball fans are weird… right guys?

 

[bagger]

Props to the Blue Jays. Great team, really likable and have some really good talent that should be back fighting next year.

 

[crushedspirit]

The one thing Kirk could not do, and he did.

Congrats to the Dodgers. Clutch hitting with 3 single HRs and Yamamoto was sensational. He basically had a major hand in 3 of the wins. Easy MVP pick.

 

[drummer]

Nothing prettier in baseball than the solo double play. Well done Dodgers. AMERICA!!!!!

Well, Los Angeles in not quite the America we want lol.

 

[Capella]

I just don’t know if pinch running for one of your 3 best hitters is a good idea. Is Bichette that slow that he won’t score on a hit to the gap?

This really really cost them.

 

[Eephus]

Oh well, baseball is ruined now. It was a fun ride.

 

[Capella]

That has to be one of the most crushing losses in recent history right? Toronto fans are down bad.

Giants don't wanna spend dat money lol.

All season JS tends to overmanage games, and this time it cost them a chance. You simply don't take Bo's bat out of the lineup.

Roberts made the right moves and deserves a lot of credit for the way he managed game 7.

Sure, but he really would had this game in the bag if he didn't pitch Otahni in the third.

Possibly, but the moves he made with the pitching staff and sub after that was on point. Hard to criticise him after what we just watched.

JS on the other hand.......

Him not being able to score from second (in the third?), with two outs, on a hit to right cost them, too. Love him but he's still gimpy

 

[drummer]

Yamamoto MVP.

Yeah - I made the comment earlier about managerial malpractice for leaving in Ohtani, but he made up for it the rest of the game.

 

[thecatch]

Oh well, baseball is ruined now. It was a fun ride.

Dodgers got their billion dollars worth out of the pitchers tonight.

 

[scoobus]

Not that it matters now, but why are Kiner-Falefa and Betts sliding feet-first into home with the bases loaded? Run through the base.

Don't hate. 49ers have like 40% of their payroll on IR.

 

[Eephus]

So when's game 8?

 

[menobrown]

Just thinking what a lucky break for MLB to have this happen tonight because I'm pretty sure I was not the only one who was watching this game when I otherwise would not if I had ESPN/ABC accessible.

 

[Gr00vus]

Seeing more Kershaw than I need to see right now.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

That has to be one of the most crushing losses in recent history right? Toronto fans are down bad.

I believe that is now 5 straight WS game 7s where the road team won.

 

[-fish-]

Seeing more Kershaw than I need to see right now.

Since we won't see him again, he deserves all the screen time he gets. Sorry but your hot take sucks

 

[The Z Machine]

Went to sleep for 4 hours and woke up and still can't believe the Doyers pulled it out.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Yuck

 

[Zeppelin]

They don't have a billion or two to throw around.

[Da Guru]

Yamamoto MVP.

Easy choice.

Yammy would have pitched 5-6 innings if he had to. Wonder what Tarik Skubal was thinking watching when he came out of the deciding game after 6 innings. "Man, maybe I should have gone one more inning?"

Lots of blown opportunities for the Jays. If any of the well hit balls in the last couple innings are 1-2 ft to the left or right game is over. But LA got the big HRs and made the big plays when they had to. Kiki would not have caught that one he got ran over on either and that was game over.

I kept thinking what would had been like if Smiths foot was off the plate on the force at home, to have the Series ended and decided after a 2 minute review.

 

[Major]

Any Blue Jays fans in here? I was rooting for them but far from a Canadian homer. Those fans looked so depleted and not sure how long it'll take to recover from that. They could almost taste it. Great comeback by the Dodgers though. They clearly earned that.

 

[Ghost Rider]

That has to be one of the most crushing losses in recent history right? Toronto fans are down bad.

With regards to baseball, it's the worst I've seen since the 2011 Texas Rangers in Game 6 of the World Series. This was equally devastating.

 

[The Z Machine]

Also very happy that Springer lost to the Dodgers after he won that ring with the cheating Astros. They should have been stripped of that title.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Springer has some heart. He’s in some serious pain.

He’s the one guy from the Astros cheating era who is easy to root for.

Nah…

 

[Zeppelin]

Yammy would have pitched 5-6 innings if he had to. Wonder what Tarik Skubal was thinking watching when he came out of the deciding game after 6 innings. "Man, maybe I should have gone one more inning?"

Skubal was thinking he will pitch deeper into games when he's a Dodger.

Memo to anyone thinking of driving anywhere in SoCal. Don't.

yeah, it’s gonna get scary here in seal beach tonight

I woke up in Los Alamitos expecting to see it burned down. Guess not.....




Not a fan of Dave Roberts as a manager but he did handle this series well, esp Game 6 and 7. Orel Yamamoto was amazing and rightfully the MVP. Rojas coming up clutch and joining Kershaw in retirement, what a way to go for them both.

I live in the bay area now but I’m down visiting family, the stress of my family’s yelling was only comforted by Volcano burger
Definitely was being sarcastic about Seal getting crazy

Bingo!

Another note.

Closeups shots of Snell, he looked like he was coming off a 2 day bender and did not expect to pitch.

Volcano Burger is the best, we eat there way to much.

And yeah, no place around here is going to have issues. Most of the people here became Angels fans in 2002.

 

[SWC]

congrats to la but this is everything that is wrong with baseball take that to the bank bromigos

Somewhat lost in that play at the plate in the bottom of the ninth last night was what a terrible lead and jump the Toronto pinch runner had on contact. Any normal lead off and he scores and wins the WS.

The second picture in this post shows how close he was to third when the pitch was away.

Wow. That is a horrible lead.

 

[bagger]

The fact that you were an inch away from winning in the bottom of the ninth is gutting. Just lead off a half step more and you win.

As a Yankee fan who watched a lot of IKF, nice guy but not someone I would trust in any important spot.

Really some atrocious base running from the Jays in the last two games.
