I literally couldn’t stay awake and missed the last hundred and fifty innings, or however long it was…I did wake up with a premonition of seeing a 6-5 Dodgers win, but was shocked when I clicked on the website to see what had transpired. Whoever has pitchers that aren’t already burned out should win. Both teams could feast on tired arms, so tonight might be 13-11 (Dodgers, of course, hahahaha).
Man, I am feeling the fatigue this morning. Watching TV is hard work This was one of those games where some decades hence 1.3 million people will claim to have been there in person.
Wow what a game 3! Lots of mistakes on both sides. Some poor pitching then some great pitching. Ohtani had a game never seen in baseball before in the history of the game. 2 homers and on base 9 times. The best part was when they did a replay of a tag out by the catcher on a Blue Jay from the reverse angle in slo mo. In the background you can see Magic Johnson in the first row stands being the first one to jump up and scream when the tag was applied. The guy loves the team he's involved with. Also some good shots of Sandy Kofax, who looks fantastic. Ageless. We might have seen the last time Clayton Kershaw ever pitches at Dodger Stadium. And he gets them out of a bases loaded situation in extra innings. You can't make this stuff up. These are two closely matched teams. Its going to be a fight to the end. But the Dodgers once again worked around their weak bullpen in a game that the weakness should have showed up. You have to wonder what's in the Blue Jay's minds today after losing such a tough one. But once again Freddie Freeman comes in for the win.
I stayed up until the end, epic series. Loved the long game pitching strategies and the long balls running out of steam at the fence.
So did many Torontonians like myself...bed was around 2:30 am and woke up at 6am which hurt. Put in a full day...almost...and drove 5 hours home. Just got home an hour ago and now we are watching again. Will be interesting too see if we can bounce back.
The Blue Jays found the Dodger weakness tonight. They have no bull pen and they used up whatever they had last night. If the Dodger starting pitching doesn't come through the Blue Jays will win the series.
Game 6 a guarantee and Toronto is doing its resale ticket thing. The worst ticket at the Skydome is about $2000 Canadian a ticket. Lower starts around $3000.
