I would have liked to see the Phillies, Brewers, Mariners, Reds, etc.

Do I dislike the dodgers? No. Going to a dodgers game is a fun time, and Shohei is a great player, so I don’t mind watching him play.

I just do want to see some other teams make it and win it…

I won’t mind who wins, my contrarian side makes me want to see the blue jays win, but I don’t really have a dog in the hunt.

Springer’s not in the Jays lineup tonight. Go Dodgers…….

I bet he comes in to pinch hit late in the game though

Why not? Knee knock?

 

[Patman]

Why not? Knee knock?

On one of his swings last night he felt a pain in his side (oblique injury?)

Game 4 is on.

I gotta say I dig the light blue uniforms that the Blue Jays have.

 

[KCJeep]

Enjoying the game but I wish they would talk about Ohtani a bit more. It’s like he isn’t even playing.

Who???

Edit: just to talk about him even more, how about two back to back strike outs?

Mariners fan living in LA, was really hoping to get them see them at home but guess not. The office is rooting for Dodgers obviously.

 

[JWC86]

The Dodgers shallow bullpen is showing tonight.

Can the Jays hold it now for the win?

I gotta say I dig the light blue uniforms that the Blue Jays have.

That’s a throwback to the early days of the team when they used to alternate between the light blue on the road and white at home.

 

[Patman]

With the win tonight that guarantees at least a game 6, which will be played in Toronto

IMO, yesterday's game went to the Dodgers for 3 reasons.
1 Jays manager is an idiot. Stop pitching to Ohtani. He was 3/3 in the 7th, walk him! Nope instead he hits a HR to tie the game 5-5.
2 Jays manager again! Early roster moves by the Jays took 4 of their top 5 bats out of the game (Springer & Kirk hurt???, Barger and Bo for base runners)
3 Umpiring was awful on both sides but seemed like the Jays got more raw deals.

The Dodgers bull pen is terrible. If the Jays bats stayed in the lineup, I think they take game 3.

And they did.

I wonder how many are from NY?

I almost bought a Brooklyn hat in the shop when we went to a Dodgers game while out in LA this summer…

Several of the Jays are from LA.

I meant the fans.

Yup.

The last 2 games the plate umpire has been terrible. The strike zone was all over the place. In game 3 one batter had 2 bad calls in one appearance. A strike was called a ball and then a ball was called a strike.

Is anyone getting sick of hearing John Smoltz? I sure am and I’ve only watched a little of the series. He won’t shut up. Thinks he has to explain baseball and tell us what the pitcher should do. One time a pitcher did exactly what Smoltz said and the batter crushed the pitch. Smoltz was quiet for a moment.

 

[KCJeep]

Smoltz has long been guilty of thinking his job is to dissect the pitching game ad nauseam and not much else.
