Stats
The expected starters are Max Scherzer and Shohei Ohtani
Shohei's been scuffling the last few games. He didn't pitch a stellar game 4, and he's seemed a little beat up at the plate. There's a real opportunity to continue the pressure from the late innings yesterday in the early game today.
I hope they're patient at the plate today, and ready to jump on mistakes, not just high fastballs and cutters in the dirt.
Went downtown to watch the game hoping to join a street party...
Ended up riding th GO with a bunch of depressed jays fans
I have no words.... inconsolable.... i've only seen the jays win in world series.... they were 2/2 prior to tonight.... this is the first time i've seen the jays lose in a WS... hurts as an adult... my kids seem ok and they are the same age i was in '93....
GG. Good season. See you next spring
Hopefully we'll keep this lemmy community alive over the offseason
Thanks https://lemmy.ca/u/streetfestival for the game day threads!
Such a tough loss last night. But Bassitt looks incredible out there. Sasaki looked very hittable. Varsho won't have as bad of a game at the plate again. Jays win in 7, LFG!!!
Aged like milk?
Curdle it.
Damn. The Dodgers really locked in offensively and defensively in the latter half. They didn't need Ohtani. 3 solos 2 double plays.
Ah jesus christ. We didn't get the review call. Thought the catcher's foot was off the base! it clearly showed. we left 3 runners on base in 9th. damn it.
I think he was out, the foot looked to land back on the plate first, but does IKF beat the throw if he head first dives? Suppose we'll never know.
I'm really glad the strike challenge is coming in next year. The strike zones were far too variable not just in the World Series, but the entire playoffs.
An incorrect call can have huge implications, like Jays winning game 3 if Varsho walks as he should have and Bo not getting tagged out in the confusion. Not just the Jays either. Smith's strikeout in the 9th tonight was on a wide pitch too, and there were many other poor calls for a game 7. It's just far too late to be relying on some dude behind the plate when we've had the technology for years.
With that, the Jays did far better than expected. Many were saying Dodgers in 5 or 6 with their pitching staff. The Jays fought a team with an obscene payroll to the bitter end, really 8 games plus two innings, and it was just a couple lucky home runs off missed pitches that did them in.
Hell of a season, hope for more of the same next year, see y'all then!
That was a tough loss. They were so close so many times. They were two outs away. They were one fly ball away. They were one swing away.
If they had just lost, I'd be disappointed, but it'd mostly be nothing. The fact that they had it within their grasp multiple times last night, though, just absolutely burned out my adrenal system.
Same lineup as yesterday, but Varsho moved down and Barger and Kirk moved up in the 5-7 spots. I hope Barger delivers big in the 5-spot!
this game is wild. I'm 20min behind live but jeeeez the three inside pitches, benches clearing and warnings, then hitting the pitcher on the very next pitch. you couldn't write it better than this.
GO JAYS!
Bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, 1 out. Letβs go!
Into the 9th we go!
Fffffffffuuuuuu
I'm not 'happy just to be here' but it's pretty frickin' cool we're in game 7 of the world series. I bet we see a lot of starting pitchers in relief appearances: Bassitt, Yesavage, and Yamamoto potentially
Great catches by Varsho and Vladdy!!!
Bo with the 3-run blast, 3-0 Blue Jays !!!
π Go Jays go! Win Jays win! π
I hope George can make up for that baserunning error
