Good morning.

Toronto for three games, the 18 inning game, and the last two games, had boo koo attempts to score that run.but didn’t.

Dodgers hit solo shots- Muncy Smith Rojas.

Easy question- a Toronto give away or. dodgers take.

Can't give up a jack in the 9th...Dodgers made great plays in bottom of 9th...but at the end...fat boy can’t hit a ball on the ground...he's too slow

And,Yamamoto was the stud.

Good take. Yea a ninth inning jack with one out kills.

It was obvious the baseball gods had turned on BlueJays…..Hoffman? Didn’t have much and was living dangerously coupled with not being able to get those extra runs home late.

They had some chances, good chances, throughout series to score. Had some weird bad luck.

It was a great series. Either team could have won it. A game of inches as someone once said.

Blue Jays got out managed. Yesavage should not have been brought into the game. Blue Jay manager should have known giving up an out by bunting would lead the Dodgers to set up the double play with Kirk, the slowest runner in baseball. IKF was told to stay close to third base and only took a two foot lead off of third base. Muncy was at least 6 feet from the bag. He should have been told to take at least a 4 foot lead. He was out at the plate by inches.
Putting in Rojas for the final two games went against what all analysis from experts would say. Not pinch hitting for him in the ninth also. Putting in Pages for Edmans also saved the game as Edman would not have caught that ball hit by Clements.
Robert’s moves won the WS

Hoffman gave up 15 HR during the season as THEIR CLOSER….not the guy you want pitching to the Dodgers to end WS with a 1 run lead

The Dodgers had many players come up big in this series. Yamamoto, Smith, Rojas, Pages were the heroes of game 7, while game 6 was won by Mookie finally getting a big hit, and Yamamoto pitching 6 strong innings. Game 3 was won by Freddie Freeman's HR in the 18th inning, but not before 4 scoreless innings by the ultimate underdog Will Klein. Ohtani had his big game in game 3 also, with 2 homers.

Toronto played one hail of a WS. They did not make 1 error. Their unheralded players Addison Barger and Ernie Clement were their best hitters of the series. They had been a team which was clutch all season in hitting with RISP, and this continued until games 6 and 7. They had some bad luck in those last two games, but I cannot put the blame on them. They got beat by the superior team.

Makes you wonder how they got so far with that. You’re right, it finally caught up to them.

Payroll won.

Japan won this time.

Robert’s went with his gut and it paid off…..every moved he made in those final innings played a role. This is something our Oli is incapable of

Two hanging sliders cost the Jays

Not sure why you'd throw one to Rojas (and I get it, by statcast it's been a great pitch for him), but a ninth place hitter needs to be given the 96 mph gas.
