Smoltz astutely noted Ohtani likely to start since he could still be pulled and keep hitting... Edited November 1, 2025Nov 1 by caulfield12
November 1, 2025Nov 1 Scherzer I think is 41... Oldest WS starter... At 45 years 342 days, Jamie Moyer (USA, b. 18 November 1962) of the Philadelphia Phillies (USA) became the oldest pitcher to make his World Series debut when he started Game 3 of the 2008 World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays (USA) on 25 October 2008. Kenny Rogers (Detroit/2006) and Curtis Schilling the others at 41/40 to win WS games. Edited November 1, 2025Nov 1 by caulfield12
November 1, 2025Nov 1 Ki-ke Hernandez has made some great plays out there in left this postseason. Barger as the tying run simply has to make sure the ball gets down first. Springer left on deck before he could do the Kirk Gibson impression. Edited November 1, 2025Nov 1 by caulfield12

Nothing special about the catch. Dumbass.

Somehow, I was able to hear the bat broke, even with that crowd. The crazy thing is that I didn’t no idea where the ball was because it was in the lights the whole time. “Given the situation of the game and World Series on the line and how good I was hitting, I was like, ‘It’s going to hit me in the face, but I’m not stopping, I’m not pulling up.’ And then at the very end the ball came out of the lights and into my glove.” https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/world-series-game-6-ninth-042914419.html 68th percentile sprint speed from Barger...

November 1, 2025Nov 1 The stat that defined the game: In the past 30 years, there have been five players to pitch 15-plus innings in the World Series and allow two runs or fewer: Randy Johnson in 2001, Josh Beckett in 2003, Jon Lester in 2013, Madison Bumgarner in 2014 -- and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in 2025, according to ESPN Research. Each of the previous four saw their team win the World Series. espn.com Of course, no WS winner since the 1962 Yankees have won with a team batting average below .200, either.

The 3 run shot, out after 2.1 was inevitable. Feels to me like an ezwin for the blue jays tonight. Can’t rule out the Dodgers bats I guess but Scherzer looks real good thus far.

November 2, 2025Nov 2 What a b**** move by Gimenez, trying to throw his hand at a pitch to get hit. Then he gets hit and complains about it lol.

November 2, 2025Nov 2 Scherzer with a crazy lucky start. Nothing but hard hit contact that entire outing and some amazing defensive plays behind him.

November 2, 2025Nov 2 I figured the Dodgers would win this series if it went 7 games, but they're just flat offensively tonight, cannot get the guys in

November 2, 2025Nov 2 Absolutely pathetic pitching by Glasnow there. Gimenez wants to gift you an out, let him
