Between Joe Davis and John Smoltz waffling on for minutes about pitching Ohtani as the closer (“but the Dodgers lose his bat if he gets removed from the game“) and Ken Rosenthal asking Dave Roberts what went into the decision to pitch Glasnow tonight with a potential Game 7 tomorrow, I might go ahead and mute Game 7.
-
horsefeathers hell that was dumb.
-
Well, damn…
-
I’d love to see data on home plate umpire efficiency in the postseason vs the regular season. They just look so much more accurate in the postseason.
-
“Dodgers maybe guilty of overthinking a bit”. Joe Davis, John Smoltz and Ken Rosenthal just spent three minutes overthinking the horsefeathers out of the Dodgers getting to a Game 7 lol.
-
I didn’t like the Ohtani walk from the start. Gausman was dealing, just pitch to Shohei and see if he can beat you.
-
Well, this one feels like it’s over.
-
This is some start by Gausman. 5 strikeouts through 2.
-
“… and the Hall of Famer John Smoltz” will never not make me cringe.
-
Three times it was looking dicey in 2016. Needed a 4 run 9th inning to close the series against a rampaging Giants in Game 4, 2-1 down to the Dodgers (although we scorched them in 3 straight games) and of course 3-1 down in the World Series.
-
That’s fair. Cubs definitely need a starter though, so hopefully Jed makes a trade for one in a few months.
-
Toronto have played this series so well after the heartbreak of losing Game 3. Massive to lead 3-2 with the next 2 at home.
-
For such a powerful lineup as the Dodgers apparently have, there is a steep drop off after Ohtani, Smith, Betts and Freeman.
-
I have no stats right now in front of me, but does Smith suck as a catcher or does he just suck tonight?
-
I guess no one imagined Snell would still be in the game 100 pitchers later after his first 3. Then again, the joys of having an 18 inning game only two days again.
-
I get the Toronto manager wants to keep the pressure on but why even challenge that?
-
What a ridiculous start.
-
Bieber, who the conversation was about, was up for grabs at the deadline and he was traded for a prospect outside the top 100. Jed could have gotten involved as we needed a starter. He didn’t. My post wasn’t implying that prospects aren’t important.
-
I feel like the Jays need to win tomorrow to really be confident of winning the series. 2-2 and 2 of 3 in Toronto is an advantage, but I think they lose that advantage if they lose tomorrow. Can’t see LA not winning at least one in Toronto.
-
But how else would we wet ourselves with excitement over all our A ball prospects if they start getting traded away.
-
I wonder if Shohei Ohtani getting 0 hits for the rest of the World Series is a bet type? Toronto’s manager has said they are going to intentionally walk him the rest of the series. That’s respect.
-
Yeah, that’s fair. I am not a fun of the rule but can still appreciate that it has merit in ending games much sooner than they otherwise would. But as you said, at least the rule is removed for the playoffs.
-
609 pitches total were thrown tonight, compared to 561 in game 3 in 2018. And yet this game was 40 minutes shorter thanks to the pitch clock.
-
Game 3 is yet another good reason why the Manfred man rule is the dumbest rule in baseball in the regular season. Let the game run its course ffs.
-
Now I can finally get back to The Shield.
