I saw the overhead shot of the play at home in the 9th. IKF had no lead whatsoever and didn't take a secondary. An inexcusable lack of fundamentals cost them the World Series. Not only that but, with Smith stretching for the throw like a 1st baseman, there's no reason to slide. If he runs through the plate, as you would at 1st, I think he beats the throw.

Not sure how close to the bag Muncy was playing, but it was likely much closer than normal.

Not the way I wanted it to end, but a great series. FOX's Joe Dvis keeps comparing Yamamoto to Grover Cleveland Alexander for coming out of the bullpen off a start to finish a game, but he doesn't mention whether Yamamoto was blind-drunk hungover as G. C. A. reportedly was.

The Blue Jays sure like their Sac Bunts. So two shots to get Vlad across the plate.
-
Nice footwork by Seranthony. See you next season on 'Dancing with the Stars'!
-
Now it's up to Kike Hernandez who's only had about a thousand big hits for the Dodgers.

=kcmets post_id=207586 time=1762055035 user_id=53] Bases loaded and can't score one run. Seems somewhat familiar but I can't place it at the present time.

Freddie - Mookie - Muncy in top 10th

And the defensive replacement saves the game with a defensive play!! The Jays got their outs in the wrong order.
-
Great AB by Barger (3-2 walk) vs a tough LHP: 1st & 2nd, one out ... and it looks like Yamamoto is coming in the game.
-
Vlad came close, but I question the wisdom of swinging at a 3-0 pitch there.
-
WIN IT FOR GEDDY LEE!!!!
-
If the Jays win this one, in this inning or later, that will make it three WS championships for them and two via a walk-off.

Oxygen Magnesium!!! Miguel Rojas: 57 career HRs across 12 ML seasons/4,000+ PAs

Very disappointing to discover that (Jays defensive OF replacement) Myles Straw isn't from Wichita
-
Jays to face 8-9-Ohtani with the slimmest of leads for all the marbles.
-
For a game with 20 hits, 5 walks, and a HBP thru (not quite) 8 full innings, seven combined runs isn't a lot of scoring.

Early in his career, I kind of had Vladdy Jr pegged as a bit of baseball's version of a nepo-baby: fence-swinging, not well-rounded, not in great shape, and maybe thinking a good career (and a ton of money) was owed to him as a result of him being a legacy player. But he's impressed me over the last month, not just with his hitting but also with all around play and his spirit on the field and in the dugout. In short, he's been fun to watch*. So now my thinking has changed to, while there may be players who enjoy being a pro baseball player as much as Vladdy does, I'n not sure anyone enjoys it more. * OK, especially while fucking the Yanx, but elsewhere as well

Those extended warmup times granted to Ohtani (Twice!) didn't seem to help him much. He wound up the night retiring only half of the batters he faced.

The Hot Corner wrote: =Centerfield post_id=207534 time=1761967050 user_id=65] Play is right in front of him. Hernandez running full momentum toward 2B. Springer and Vlad due up. Just awful baserunning. I thought the call to rule Barger's drive a ground rule double was rather suspect and definitely cost the Blue Jays. Of course, I'm not privy to the ground rules that they cover prior to the games for quirks at each stadium. The ball did lodge at the base of the wall, but it wasn't like it was stuck and could not be easily picked up and played. Barger's base running gaffe on the ensuing line out by Gimenez was absolutely horrible. That would have been bad base running at the Little League level, unforgivable for a professional player.

And we'll see you for Game Seven!
-
Well they may break through ... but it's not going to be against Yamamoto as the Dodgers pull Y.Y. after six innings/96 pitches. Trusting three innings to the pen, eh, Dave Roberts?!?
-
So it's back to Toronto where Kevin Gausman goes for the ultimate win, Yoshinobu Yamamoto for the save ... and, I dunno, maybe Paul Lynde for the block. And if you get that last reference you're old enough to be about a quarter to dead The surprise is that George Springer is back in the lineup for the Jays, which I never thought would happen. So if he re-inures himself he's got six months to heal .. so why not.
