Yeah, but its Mookey Betts who is next up!
Risky strategy.

I think the series will go all the way.
And if the Dodgers win, there will be no MLB in the 2027 season; you heard that here first.

Unique game that one , one for the history books.

Going to be interesting to see how both sides back up today after that one, physically and emotionally.

Ohtani throwing today .

I don't think that some of John Schneider's subs helped the Blue Jays as they lost some hitting power. Both teams relief pitching options will be affected for games 4 and 5.

Both sides will be hoping their starters are on point and can throw deep into the game , could possibly be the winning and losing of the game right there .

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.

I think it says it all when the starting pitcher who pitched all 9 innings in game 2 (Yamamoto) was warming up in the bullpen at the end of game 3

Bovidae

Ohtani proves he is human as the Blue Jays take game 4. This series does feel like it goes the full distance.

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.

ACT Crusader

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.

ACT Crusader

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

NTA

Dodgers win it in the 11th

ACT Crusader

A double play wins it.

The squeaky bum nature of this sport is on its own level!

ACT Crusader

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

kiwiinmelb

Yeah it’s been a great series,

So many big moments throughout

gt12

Yama gets MVP, things will go bananas here
