Just get a sac fly

 

[storrsroars]

He’s been terrible, about a 50% K rate

And has a .862 OPS over past 7 games.

 

[Scoe]

That's close

 

[storrsroars]

Holy hell

 

[jojipoji]

Omg what a game.

 

[Marat]

This game is crazy.

 

[Kolumbo]

Insanity. Good!

 

[gsmooth]

Wow Dodgers shaky defense in this World Series really came through in this 9th inning with some elite play.

 

[Gutter King]

This is epic. Just unreal. Best WS ever?

Probably. Maybe I am a prisoner of the moment.

Shaky defense? Outside of Teo and one play by Edman, their defense has provided about a half dozen web gems.

 

[navery12]

And has a .862 OPS over past 7 games.

He had a .471 OPS in the first 6 WS games and is 1/4 tonight so this seems pretty unlikely. Not sure where you're seeing that stat

 

[AfgHusky15]

What a game, what a series…hoping for a Springer Dinger extra innings walk off

 

[navery12]

 

[superjohn]

He's garbage

 

[gsmooth]

Good to know he has brain farts for other teams besides the Yankees.

 

[Scoe]

Yankee analytics never left him.

Web gems in this game sure. I guess the Edman and Teo errors made a lasting impression on me. Especially Edman’s error as that eventually led to Kirk’s 3-run HR.

Yeah, my bad, was looking at his MLB page and postseason line, then below it had last 7 games, but that was regular season. Regardless, he's been stud in postseason for years both offensively and defensively. He was having another good postseason before this week.

 

[uconn1999]

Fully expect a hit here

 

[gsmooth]

Vlad is getting all the praise for his hitting, but his fielding has been excellent in including many high leverage situations.

 

[HCCForever]

Why do runners slide into home on force play ? Isn’t that slower? Maybe afraid of catcher blocking plate.

 

[superjohn]

This series is nuts.

If there's another better World Series I don't remember it.

 

[Scoe]

Come on get on base for Springer.

 

[navery12]

It is slower. Betts is probably out regardless but IKF might have been safe if he goes full speed through home plate like it's first base

 

[Scoe]

Well Dodgers have this game won, Yamamoto is trained to pitch every day he's a freak of nature.

 

[Kolumbo]

Why do runners slide into home on force play ? Isn’t that slower? Maybe afraid of catcher blocking plate.

I'd have to see the replay again but maybe he wasn't aware of where the throw was and was expecting a tag, or just forgot it was a force.

so we got what 7 more innings?

 

[gsmooth]

Fresh Prince of Bel Air comes through in the clutch.

 

[superjohn]

Sure would've been nice having Bichette come up.

 

[storrsroars]

You break Ohtani's bat then give up a HR to Smith. Baseball.
