Tonight, Yoshinobu Yamamoto might step up and pitch a great game to force a Game 7, because he's a big-game pitcher and that's what big-game pitchers do.
Or the Blue Jays might get to him, because it's hard to dominate a team twice in one series.
Either way, people will act
Freddie Freeman is a three-time World Series champ. What did he say about that in his postgame interview? Nothing. He was busy saying, "I'm just so glad Clayton Kershaw is a three-time champ." I love this team. #Dodgers
Here’s an idea: Every team just refuses to play the Astros. Just take those days off. Sure, the Astros go 162-0, but they go into the playoffs not having played a competitive game in 11 months, and Rob Manfred presides over the biggest farce of a season in baseball history.
Shohei: “Ippei did it.”
Ippei: “I did it.”
Feds: “Ippei did it.”
Judge: “Ippei did it.”
Mountains of evidence: “Ippei did it.”
Bookie: “Ippei did it.”
This guy: “But has anyone considered the fact that I don’t like Shohei and have the IQ of a flip flop?”
World Series Game 6, if necessary, would be played at Dodger Stadium on what would have been Fernando Valenzuela's 64th birthday. So while I'm still rooting for #Dodgers in 4, I'll take Dodgers in 6, I guess.
I don’t want a good series in San Francisco. I want a Dodgers sweep and three blowouts. I want the Dodgers to fly out Sunday night with no question in anyone’s mind who the best team in baseball is.
Ohtani's flyout in the 8th was 110.2 MPH with a 36-degree launch angle. Here's a ball he hit last year with similar metrics. Last year's went 418 feet; today's went 352.
