World Series 2025 Thread

- Start date
OK, done.The game is tied for the longest game in World Series history. Freddie Freeman who hit the homer that decided the game is a dual citizen. Although he was born in the USA, his parents were both Canadians and he has both passports. Good boy.
The official time for the game was 6 hours 39 min.
The unofficial time of the the first pitch as seen on my iphone was 5:12 PST. I didn’t check the actual time of the homer but it works out to 11:51 PST which got it so close to having the game end on a different date from when it started.

Was 18 innings enough for you to catch some of the game?

I went to bed at the start of the 17th but dang I wanted the Blue Jays to win. Hopefully they win tonight.

I stayed up right to the very end and because I was watching it in bed I fell asleep about 60 seconds after it was over. Even though the Jays lost, they proved that they belong in the World Series. The game could have gone either way really. This is actually the third Jays game that I have seen where they have gone 18 or more innings. I was in person at two different games in Toronto where they went 18-19 innings!
I will definitely be getting a $1 iced Capp today to wake myself up and there will be multiple naps too. I hope tonight’s game goes to the Jays. I really want this series to go the full 7 games actually. It has been exciting baseball!!

Shohei Ohtani seems to answered the "Yeah, but what has be done in the post-season?" critics.
At this point it seems clear, these teams are indeed evenly matched. Looking like we are going to have quite a series, well, we already have!
Both sets of relievers..........wow Lauer and especially Klein. To hold both well hitting teams to goose eggs for 4+........great pitching.
Nice series, even though I watch it completely shattered.
Classic old timey baseball headline:
Jays say enough's enough, won't pitch to Ohtani

’nsI paused it after 15 innings because I got really tired of pop up. Took a shower, got ready for bed and went back to the tv to see who had won....it was still going on in the 18th inning. So far with the exception of Yamamoto, the Dodgers great pitching is not beating great hitting.
Huh?
Per a JoeBlogs (baseball pundit Joe Posnanski) post earlier this week, the Dodgers are invincible but for their Achilles Heel (a.k.a. their bullpen).
The prevailing wisdom was that if the Jays could chase the Dodgers' starter early, they (the Jays) would be the superior team.
It will be interesting ...

It worked one game but not yesterday
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.

I agree with everything you said. You read my mind 100%.
I think they learned their lesson on 1 & 2 however. I sure hope so anyways!
One thing I’ll add is they under estimated the Dodgers fielding abilities. The Jays got caught a couple times by how fast the Dodgers were able to get the ball from the outfield to home/base. I hope they learned from this and aren’t so aggressive tonight.

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…

Glad I did not tune in. Just like Tigers/Mariners, I would have had to stay with it to the end - weeknight or not. I caught the recap when I woke up, which was like four hours after the game ended.

That went both ways - and some down to split second tags
