October 21, 2025Oct 21 23 minutes ago, Snopek said: Dodgers in 5 🥱 Dodgers should walk through Toronto
October 21, 2025Oct 21 The Dodgers have the superior bats. I would also give them the SP advantage. This series is going to be brutal for the Jays. Maybe the Jays steal a game, two max. Edited October 21, 2025Oct 21 by pettie4sox
October 21, 2025Oct 21 Don’t mind the Jays, but also don’t really care about them either. Would be nice if they pulled it out, but they won’t. Probably won’t be paying much attention to this series.
October 22, 2025Oct 22 "Will the Dodgers ruin baseball with another title? That probably depends on your definition of "ruin." Baseball itself would probably see higher ratings and general interest with a true juggernaut capturing headlines, as is true for pretty much every other major league over the past half-century. Last year's World Series between L.A. and New York saw a seven-year high in ratings and drew more viewers in Japan than the NBA Finals did in the U.S. However, the Dodgers putting it all together is very bad news for your team if you're not a Dodgers fan. Rooting for a team is hard enough when it theoretically has a 1-in-30 chance of winning the championship. It's even harder when you look over and see a team, particularly a rich one, seemingly ready to gobble up half the titles of the next decade. It's more a question of fairness than one about the fate of the game, though those debates might become one and the same during the next CBA negotiations, in which MLB is already pushing for a salary cap." yahoo.com/sports
October 23, 2025Oct 23 Amazing...a guy with 14 career MLB innings gets the ball for the Jays in Game 1! Not saying he isn't worth it...but just blows my mind when I think back on game 1 starters over time. I am rooting for the Jays...but not betting anything on them!
October 23, 2025Oct 23 I believe I am in the minority in thinking that Dave Roberts is not a very good manager. I am hoping that his sometimes inexplicable in game decisions will cost the Dodgers the series....but I doubt it.

He handled the bullpen chaos pretty darned well...pulled the right strings relying on vets like Muncy Ki-ke and Edman as well. Pulled the plug on Conforto. Making good use of Justin Dean as well.
October 25, 2025Oct 25 Even though no Mariners, MLB is happy to lock up tv ratings across Japan and Canada. Japan is less than half the US population but had more tv's watching the Dodgers than US sets watching the NBA Finals, for example. It's also how they can easily argue now that Ohtani is worth $150 additional million in revenues per year to the Dodgers ALONE. The 2020 World Series was the least-watched ever. The highest rated and most-watched World Series since 2004 remains Cubs-Indians in 2016 (13.1, 23.40M). Edited October 25, 2025Oct 25 by caulfield12
October 25, 2025Oct 25 "In Japan, meanwhile, the NLCS averaged 7.34 million viewers, up 26% from last year’s record-setting figure. That total was, of course, driven largely by widespread interest there in native-born Dodgers superstars Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki. For the clinching Game 4 in which Ohtani hit three home runs and struck out 10 on the mound, an average of 10.26 million in Japan viewed, in a country of about 123 million." "Canada’s Sportsnet averaged 6 million viewers for the Blue Jays’ clinching Game 7 win on Monday. The figure marked the network’s largest telecast of the team ever, and it surpassed a record that had stood since the 2015 ALCS. That audience represented about 15% of the entire Canadian population, a level of penetration seen in the U.S. only for the later rounds of the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl." sportsmediawatch.com
October 25, 2025Oct 25 Watched trey yesavage in person many times in college. Kid isn't fazed by the moment. Saw him outfield chase burns in NCAA regional. Wish we drafted him
October 25, 2025Oct 25 Oops...jinxed him 19/43 in postseason, .442 avg, got another for 20 hits now Ernie Clement was originally drafted by the Indians in the 4th round. Clement was claimed off waivers by the Oakland Athletics on September 23, 2022.[38] He appeared in six games for Oakland, going 1-for-18 (.056) with a double.[15] Edited October 25, 2025Oct 25 by caulfield12
October 25, 2025Oct 25 Clement has been unreal...this would have been a place where Kopech could have been utilized. Instead a young rookie backup starter transformed to reliever. Former Indians/Guardians in Clement Gimenez M.Straw, not to mention Bieber... Edited October 25, 2025Oct 25 by caulfield12
October 25, 2025Oct 25 Series on... In 2018, Addison Barger was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth round of the Major League Baseball draft and made his professional debut with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Blue Jays that season, recording a .194 batting average, three home runs, and 18 runs batted in (RBI).
October 25, 2025Oct 25 Gutsy call to go Yesavage G1. Now they have Gausman and Bieber to go against Yamamoto and Glasnow unless they move Ohtani up to #3. Edited October 25, 2025Oct 25 by caulfield12
October 25, 2025Oct 25 Roberts tried to extend Snell a bit too much and it led to all of this. Although given the results from the guys in the bullpen, it's hard to blame him.
