Let’s Go Canada 🇨🇦

Depends on if they Jays bring this insurance run in.
 
Stranded.


Ohtani gets to bat in the 9th. One swing ties it up.

9 hole hitter.



Fat lady's squirming.
 
I can’t believe he let a guy hit a home run who’d only hit two all year. Unbelievable!
 
4-4 tie going into the bottom of the 9th.

Where's Joe Carter when you need him?
 
Bases juiced. They better score, cause I'm not staying up for another double nines game.
 
Dodgers pitching just choked. Walking the bases full with one out? One sacrifice fly takes the game.

.... Well, OK, not now. Wasted opportunity for the Jays.
 
Wow! What a game!
 
Now the Jays' pitching has choked. This is ridiculous.

Fielding is good, anyway.
 
That's it for me. Good luck Canucks.
 
And that's the ball game. 5-4 in 11 innings; LA takes the game and the Series.

Disappointing. But I can't really complain about some of the best baseball I've ever seen. What an ending. Won't have to clip my nails tomorrow.
 
Is it too late to ask to make it a best of 9?
 
I went to bed after the Jays choked the game away in the 9th inning. They looked like they were afraid to win.

Correct me if I’m wrong. Bottom of the 9th and the game is tied with the Jays at bat. Weren’t the bases loaded with one out? Wouldn’t a bunt have won the game???

Yes, the bases were loaded with one out. But, attempting a squeeze (third base runner pauses and reads whether or not the bunt is successfully placed in the right part of the field to achieve success) or a suicide squeeze (where the runner just breaks to steal home as soon as the pitcher delivers the ball and hopes that the bunt gets put down) is a big ask, probably more risky and less successful on average than a sacrifice fly, or a well-placed hard hit ball with the infield drawn in. And of course, all of that is contingent upon the guy at the plate and his ability on average to execute a bunt. In this day and age, bunting is more of an art than a fundamental. It's a lot more about power, home runs and extra base hits have become the name of the game.
