OT: MLB Playoffs \ World Series Thread

[RutgersNJ]

Dodgers just sleep walked through the regular season and turned it on for the playoffs. 9-1 so far.

Ohtani with 3 HRs and 10 Ks as the winning starting pitcher? That’s downright filthy.

Clearly we just watched the most all around best player in baseball. That was one for the ages.

Best all around performance since…

Big time HR !

Dodgers @ Jays Friday night

Kind of a weird pairing in the WS

 

[Doctor Worm]

Dodgers announce that Alex Vesia, their primary bullpen lefty, has left the team and is dealing with a "deeply personal family matter". His WS availability is uncertain.

I guess now they'll just have to use their $72 million bullpen lefty.

They've got another lefty available who happens to be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Nope. Dodgers announced their 26 man WS roster. Neither Vesia or Scott are on it. They can, and likely will, place Vesia on the Family Emergency list, which would make him eligible to return no sooner than Game 3 and no later than Game 6.

Blue Jays have placed Bichette on their WS roster. How they will use him, we shall see.

That was a fun game to watch. Good for the sport IMO.

Woke up in 12th stayed up until the end

Historical baseball game about to start

 

[Colbert17!]

Absolutely!!!!! A classic game. I lucked out as first pitch here is about 7:00 AM so I got to watch the whole thing on my desktop at work.
I hate the Dodgers but Freeman is one of my favorite players in the sport.
Think how much it would have sucked if they used the ghost runner like during the season.

 

[yesrutgers01]

I so much want Toronto to close this out…

 

[shields]

Go Toronto.

 

[ru109]

Why are the bending the rules for Ohtani? He got a hit and had to run the bases and he wasn't warmed up when time ran out between innings. Well too bad IMO, That's the chance you are taking when you have your pitcher hitting.

Agreed. You want to have the same guy hit, run the bases, & pitch? Fine. He’s gotta be ready in the same time that any other pitcher is.

 

[Anon1751632159]

Guess he needed more time to warm up

Terrible job by the broadcast if this is actually the rule:

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Clear the benches in game 7 of the World Series….I love it!

Always funny to watch the bullpen guys jogging in during a bench clear….one of the most unnecessary things in sports (unless you’re Graeme Lloyd).

 

[Anon1751632159]

Let’s go 22 innings !

 

[Anon1751632159]

Holy

Kiner had no lead at third. off the base more he scores.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

This game is wild!

 

[Anon1751632159]

Sign Suarez
Sign Framber Valdez
Trade for Skubal

LFGM !!!!

 

[Rutgers Chris]

Amazing game, I blame Mattingly

 

[RULoyal]

Theeeeeeeeeee Blue Jays lose!

 

[yesrutgers01]

It is so funny with the Dodgers- so many writers seemed to be so anxious to be able to call them a dynasty…
I hope they realize that back to back is not a dynasty

man- I hate that the Dodgers did win. Seemed like everything just went their way.

Come on. The teams played seven games, including an extra home game for Toronto; you don't think breaks went both ways?

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Kiner had no lead at third. off the base more he scores.

Just came here to say that. After watching the highlights. What was he doing? What was the 3rd base coach doing? He was practically standing on 3rd base.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

I didn't watch any of this WS. I only turned on last night when the Blue Jays were 3 outs away because I wanted to be able to see the Dodgers go down. Guess I was the jinx. But those 3 innings that did watch were incredible. Just insane drama.

Back to back, no. But 3 championships in 6 years is probably worth the ’dynasty’ discussion.

And I also hate that the Dodgers won.

 

[shields]

Thank you Ru for Jersey. Had no lead.

 

[RU848789]

Was a huge baseball fan until free agency 40+ years ago, combined with becoming an RU sports fanatic. Since then I barely watch baseball, except sometimes in the WS and this was the first time this season I watched more than a few at bats. I watched the whole damn game and it was an absolute gem. So many amazing plays in the field, clutch hits, great pitches, and pure drama. May have to watch a bit more next season.

The rules allow the umpires to give latitude in this situation.
