In case anyone was wondering why they walked Ohtani 5 times, you should have seen what he did before it: 4-for-4, 2 home runs, 3 RBIs. I can see why they were prepared to give up 5 walks.
He's magic.And the people complaining and sayingthe intentional walk should be banned ,
It’s not going to change the result , if they don’t want to throw you a strike they won’t , it was introduced to speed the game up .

Dodgers did well to come away with the win. Got a bit dicey with them on the 8th inning and Blue Jays had two on base and only one out.
The greatest two words in sport GAME SEVEN

I'm not sure about putting Ohtani out there today on 3 days rest, I hope he can go well.

Crazy home run by Rojas in the 9th to tie it.

This game keeps delivering.
Bring on Yama in the 9th and walks one. Base loaded and 2 out.
A great hit and collision in the outfield for the catch.
We go to extra innings.

Now Blue Jays in a spot of bother with bases loaded and only 1 out with the Dodgers.

A double play wins it.
The squeaky bum nature of this sport is on its own level!

Yama was huge to close that out. But Will Smith’s homer was massive.

Yeah it’s been a great series,
So many big moments throughout

It’s funny , I should prefer Toronto but a rival club I didn’t like I used to play against in the Melbourne league were the Blu jays with the same uniform and it puts me off .

With the 2nd Dodgers win a row, the new CBA negotiations are guna be a huge shit-fight.
The Dodgers have the 2nd highest pay-roll.
It would be the highest, but virtually all of Ohtani’s money is deferred. I think he took home less than $2 mil this season.There is no salary cap in MLB, and the owners want one.
The players have resisted that for decades.
Ironically my gut-feel is that most of the players are ok with some changes.
But there is a long player legacy steadfastly opposed to it.
And none of the current players want to be known as the ones who finally caved-in.Earlier in the season MLB commissioner Manfred visited the Phillies club room.
Bryce Harper picked up a bat and told him that if he had come to talk about the CBA, he could fuuuuck-off.
Manfred apparently didn’t back down; asked some one to give him a bat!Guna be fun to follow; a lot of very, very rich people duking it out.

@mohikamo Manfred is a tough fella and I think he genuinely wants what’s best for the league and knows things need to change.
That incident did end with him and Harper shaking hands, but nonetheless it’s going to be a tough negotiation and threats of lock outs will no doubt be bandied around
