Whether the Jays win or loss, one thing is for sure: my love for baseball has been re-kindled this post-season.

Anybody still want to complain about putting a runner on second in extra innings?

 

[WedgeRock]

Sounds like a great Dodgers finish... With an 8:11 p.m. start on a Monday night, I doubt half the country saw the 18th inning at almost 3 a.m. ET.

The MLB YouTube video of the highlights of Game 3 is over 33 minutes.

This pretty much sums up the Dodgers vs Toronto

Re-posting this here only because it seemed nobody caught the reference when I posted in the "beer of choice" thread last month and connected with the costumes above.

One reason I like baseball is that it's the sport where the officials can exert the least influence.

I mean, for a full 7 1/2 innings, the strike zone was mid shin high. Across multiple pitchers, called consistently.

Suddenly, repeatedly, it’s tightened up and no longer exists in this 1/2 an inning.

(I’m also very partial and cant see)

 

[WedgeRock]

That was an amazing ending if you're a Dodgers fan...and heartbreaking if you're a Jays fan.

Whoever wins, this has been the greatest World Series by far.

 

[WedgeRock]

Last time the Jays won the first of back-to-back World Series, I was a senior at MSU.

Deuce is a senior at MSU.

That was way too short of a review. I thought IKF was safe

 

[Pinkdan]

So friggin good

 

[WedgeRock]

I didn't see anything to overturn the call on the field.

Here comes another 18 inning game

 

[BarrieJ3]

They just can’t put Kershaw in. Just in case this were to happen.

lol it’s almost worth just giving up the win before it gets to this:

Foot slid over the plate at the same time the catcher's toe touched the plate. Tie goes to the runner. Should have been game over.

I don't care about the outcome, but Toronto got hosed.

Yeah, he got his foot back down? Was it in time? As I said, nothing in the review was definitive.

Also not a huge fan of either team. I would like to see Mattingly get a ring.

Reeeeeeally?

One team led by the greatest player of all time (and a gambler!) and the other led by a central figure in the most recently publicized system of cheating by a team?

I kid, kinda.

Itfdb baby!

Shane Bieber has been ass, I don't know why they put him in

 

[SixSpeedFury]

Wow. What a game.
