7-6 Dodgers

Tie and Ohtani up

Let’s go, Dodgers, clap, clap, clap, clap clap CLAP

And he gets out of it.

After 2 outs in the bottom of the fifth Vesia loads the bases. It’s nice to see other people’s teams do frustrating stuff.

So after Cole’s blunder at first base I wonder if the national media is going to scold the Yankees for their “pitcher fielding” foibles as I recall we were scolded in 2006. Or if “the pinstripes” allure will frighten them from taking things that far…

“Yankee Stadium in stunned silence” according to Dodgers radio. 5 runs on 3 hits, 2 NY errors and a blunder. Bottom of 5th now.

OMG just checked in again.

Just tuned in and it’s the second inning and it’s Yankees over the Dodgers 4–0. Jack Flaherty just got cheaper.

Flaherty v Cole. Pretty good starting pitchers to say the least.

I get it, but this stuff penalizes teams that are trying to utilize every under utilized angle possible to squeak out a win. It’s a way of making sure that the big teams with lots of money make it to the top.

Ohtani needs to do something Ohtaniesque in this bandbox tomorrow night. Like three HRs or something. He’s totally capable of it.

Shohei Ohtani strikes out swinging with a runner on in the top of the seventh in a chance to tie the game.

Wells now with a homer. I think the Yankees might win this game.

Yankee grand slam makes it 5–2

So the Dodgers starter was starting his very first game as an MLB player in the World Series of all places and he lasts three innings. Is this “pitching chaos” or just a mistake?

I may be wrong, but I think Parker Meadows could’ve chased down that fly ball to center By Austin Wells.

The TV feed I’m following is one batter behind the atbat app on my phone. Guess I can’t keep looking at it.

Freddie again

Holy heck

A-Rod and Jeter are choosing the Yankees tonight for G-4. Seems probable. It’s hard to believe that the Yankees can completely collapse and not win at least one game. But we’ve seen good teams knocked over by steamrollers before….

Didn’t Judge begin the season slowly? And now here he’s ending the season slowly. It’s actually kind of tragic. And as a spectacle, this series is lacking. The only way for it to be less dramatic is for the Dodgers to win tonight in a blowout and for them to be unable to celebrate in Dodger Stadium where it would be considerably more exciting. That’s three games worth of hoopla and advertising revenue down the drain.

The Yankees stumbling so badly in the World Series brings back bad memories of our last two stumbles in the World Series.

People for whom the World Series is the only baseball they watch in a year are innocently shocked by the inaccuracy of the home plate umpire strike zones. Seeing them talk about it on social media is so cute. It’s almost adorable.

They’re having a conversation about the game, which I find interesting.
