I understand why L.A. would be excited, but since it’s a Canadian team vs. Dodgers on repeat, maybe Americans are not as into it this year?
But they beat the Mariners…
I just saw the thread. Thanks for posting.
It was a great game. There’s not much to celebrate these days in the communist country that was once Canada, so it’s nice to see the Jays in the WS after so many years.
If they win, I am curious to see if they get an invite to the WH. Seeing as they’re not really “Canadians”, I hope they do. I also hope the rest of Canada doesn’t act like the idiots they are and complain about it.
Time to tell Kirk Gibson’s joke when he was an announcer in Detroit.
In a minor league game where a batted ball went to the outfield, then went through a hole in the fence and was swallowed by a hog on the other side, the umpires had to make a call on the play.
An inside the pork home run.
I do miss
Baseball is still on TV? Baseball - 15 minutes of action packed into 3 hours. A game where a player that bats less than .200 can get paid $500,000 per season. Nice work if you can get it ...
Hard PASS!
Good game.
The Dodger’s bullpen is a weakness this Series and they got torched last night. And with Alex Vesia out it’s even more challenging.
Happy for Toronto fans to get a win but believe LA holds the upper hand - on paper!
Outside of going to a Rockies game for the free tickets and the beer and dogs, I’ve never watched a baseball game since the 70’s when watching the Greats at Riverfront stadium.
I have four siblings in California. None are Dodgers fans. That’s O.K., I’ve never been a Yankees or a Met’s fan.
Game 2 is in the books. Dodgers win 5-1 and tie the series 1-1.
The Dodgers’ historic World Series Game 3 victory, by the numbers
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays with a 6-5, 18-inning win in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night, producing a lengthy list of records topped by Shohei Ohtani as they took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.
Ohtani was the Dodgers’ designated hitter a day before he is to pitch in Game 4 and had one of the most memorable games at the plate in World Series history.
Here are numbers to know....
The Dodgers set a Series record by using 10 pitchers...This game matched the longest in World Series history by innings...6 hours, 39 minutes....Ohtani doubled in the first inning, homered in the third, hit an RBI double in the fifth and a tying solo homer in the seventh. He was intentionally walked in the ninth, 11th, 13th and 15th innings, then walked unintentionally on four pitches in the 17th. He tied the record shared by three people who reached that many times in regular-season games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau: Max Carey on July 7, 1922, Johnny Burnett on July 10, 1932, and Stan Hack on Aug. 9, 1942...
