Before Game 6 I haven’t watched a baseball game on TV since 1993. I was so impressed with this team. The Dodgers outpitched us in Game 7 but we made them work for every base all night long.
Objectively that was the most exciting game I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to give it a go next season.
I think it just also felt kind of patriotic to participate.
It definitely did. I grew up in the GTA but up until recently I felt like I had to hide my away-ness in Atlantic Canada. Was I ever surprised when tue Jays hats started to spontaneously appear around town this month.
Same! I don't really care for watching sports on a TV screen, except if surrounded by people who are genuinely interested in the game, and even then, when the players are putting in an effort worthy of mass praise, that's what made it felt awesome!
That ninth inning was painful to watch. Dodgers had the luck of the gods on their side. If that last outfield fly had only gone a couple of feet further...
It was insane. I think the Jays were beastly in the field, anything less than a home run got caught. Nothing less than a home run would score. The Jays should have won it honestly but it was awesome to watch. I hope every player on both teams feels incredible because that was a fantastic game and everyone was killing it.
still amazing for them to get all the way to the world series, since 1993. goes to show that we have teams who can go all the way to the end. trade in your baseball caps for hockey gloves folks!
I didn't watch a minute of it but I'm proud of them just the same. (I can't stay up that late).
it got spicy in the 4th, dodgers pitcher DELIBERITY hit the batter and the dugouts cleared out. next batter which was George springer got revenge by line driving a hit, right at the pitchers legs. i think we have a new rivalry here. it was tense and it was always going to be a close game, but im still proud of how much the jays have come far.
Wrobleski did not INTENTIONALLY hit Giménez.
Timing was suspect, as it came after Giménez appeared to almost lean into the previous pitch, but Wrobleski isn’t intentionally hitting the nine spot in game 7.
All in all, it was a respectful series and the I too am super proud of the Jays. Was a great series.
to me it looked like he did it on purpose but im not a umpire, they made their calls. the one call i did not agree with is Otani having 5 min warm-ups because hes a "special player (DH|P)". unless its a health and safety thing, i was a bit thrown off why he was warming up so much before an inning start.
For the Ohtani clock thing you could think of it that way. When all you're doing is pitching you come out from the dugout and immediately start warming up for your half of the inning. If you're getting ready to bat you've got some gear on that takes a minute to take off. A minute lost from the normal warm up timer may be considered too much time (that may compromise safety), so they add a little bit of time to allow for that case. The same would be done for any pitcher that is also a batter or position player, but that is a fairly rare occurrence so it doesn't come up very often.
As far as the hitting of the batter is definitely suspect to throw inside three times in a row, but just on game state there's no reason to hit that batter in that situation. The only reason that warnings were even issued (in my opinion) was as a result on the bench clearing, not the hit batter in a vacuum.
i was just trying to see the point of the ohtani warmup from the umpire view and just didn't know how to interpret that. and yeah the dugouts cleared pretty quickly lol
One bounce would have done it.
Or if Rojas did not homer on the bottom of the 9th.
OOTL, did jays win or not? I’ve heard people are sad so I assumed they didn’t
Dodgers took game 7 in extras.
Still, an AL championship (and beating the Yankees) are accomplishments to be proud of.
