I'm upset by the whoring of the message also

I didn't realize people are against cancer.

[ashie62]

That also



My cancer surviving Mets fan brother liked it so who am I

[Centerfield]

To bring up and old SC classic. We got the wrong Japanese.

[metirish]

Hell of a start from Yamamoto

[Centerfield]

Set down the last 20 batters of the game. Ridiculous.

[MFS62]

As great as the pitching was, Colonel Sanders holding up a Springer Dinger sign was the highlight of the game for me.

Rob Manfred.



Speed up the game! Also, Jonas Brothers concert.

[whippoorwill]

Sounds hideous glad I missed it

[Frayed Knot]

Today would have been a good day for a late afternoon WS game.

But, no.

Game #3 at 8-something PM EDT as the scene shifts to southern California

Max Scherzer vs Tyler Glasnow

No word yet on who the between innings entertainment will feature.

[MFS62]

I'm willing to cut them a little slack. The "concert" was part of MLB's efforts for curing cancer. Every MLB has been involved in it. Since their dad died from the disease, they were an appropriate act to pick.

I just wish they had told us sooner, so we could have expected the duration of the delay.

Not having baseball to watch yesterday sucked. I've decided I'm rooting for this series to go 7.

[ashie62]

So the Dodgers accumulate Japanese players and win. Meh



Football was great this weekend, college and an exciting Jets win



I don't see the Blue Jays winning another game

[whippoorwill]

Well I do

[Frayed Knot]

The Dodgers certainly didn't want to see their stater pulled after just 4-2/3 innings.

Not that any team wants that but the gulf between LAD starters and their relievers is bigger than most.

[Frayed Knot]

And now Max gets pulled after 4-1/3 IP so they can get a lefty in to face Ohtani who had doubled and HR'd vs Scherzer.

... and so he doubles off the reliever anyway and drives in a run.

4-3 Jays

[Centerfield]

Did the Jays accidentally call the Mets bullpen by accident?



I swear that's Gregory Soto.

[Centerfield]

Roberts pulls an effective reliever to bring in the righty to face Guerrero. Single. Double.



Jays lead 4-3.



This has been a clinic on how not to manage.



On Edit. 5-4 Jays. Math is hard.

Another Teoscar Hernandez game where he shows what a wonderful hitter he can be, and also how Not good at baseball he is otherwise.

- early monster HR for a 1-0 lead

- makes the 3rd out at 3rd base by trying to go 1st to 3rd on a ball that never left the infield

- and now the Dodgers are -1 run on account of a great throw from RF to cut down Freddie at the plate, while the Jays are +1 run on account of a lousy throw from RF by ... Teoscar Hernandez

[Frayed Knot]

Not. Human.

[Centerfield]

What a cool game. This is what the World Series should be.

[Centerfield]

The baserunning has been something.

[Centerfield]

Blue Jays read FK post about Teoscar and got tricked into an all time bad send.

[Centerfield]

The IBB of Gimenez seems unnecessary

[Gwreck]

Once again this game proves, if nothing else, how awful the free runner is in extras.

[Gwreck]

Lest it be lost to history, Will Smith led off the bottom of the 14th and his plate appearance ended with him starting out at the outfield as he flipped his bat.



Problem is that it was caught on the warning track. To be clear, I generally like home run celebrations…but, you know, you'd better be sure it's actually a home run, pal.
