2025 World Series

[frostbitmic]

Hard to beat a Billion dollar pitching rotation, I guess you do get what you pay for ... Championships.

 

The Blue Jays left 14 runners on base through 9 innings, that's what you call non clutch hitting.

I mean it's 162 game regular season 

 

I love baseball but can't get hyped up for June baseball anymore lol

 

But this was great to watch

I stopped at Seneca Casino after the Sabres game to watch the end of game 7 with all the Ontario folks. So sad 😭

A lot of fingers can be pointed for why the Blue Jays lost. One I came across…while a lot are questioning why IKF didn’t have a bigger lead off 3rd at time of contact, WTF was the 3rd base coach doing, not telling him to get a bigger lead.  He was practically standing on the bag.  If he has even a 5-7 ft lead, he is safe at home and the Jays win the WS.

Dodgers purchased the whole thing.  Their manager is a jackass crybaby.  Their players don’t deserve the boos but their organization does.

You’re not wrong, but in a sport without a salary cap, isn’t this the only way to win? There’s a reason baseball is dominated by NY, LA, and Texas teams. Teams like Pittsburgh don’t have a prayer. College football has a more parody, and that’s not saying much. I love baseball as a sport, but this has driven me away from watching MLB.

The base running was terrible overall for the Blue Jays. They ran bases like a bunch of drunk dads playing beer league softball. Poor decisions, slow unathletic dudes, and confused base coaches. That was the difference in the series.

this link gives an explanation. Retrospect is always 50-50.  There were so many missed opportunities

 

Having said that I thought the catchers foot lifted off the bag , It was close and Im probably wrong about that. I wear homer glasses 

 

I feel for the Jays fans today. They dodgers snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

Hmmm…not sure I believe that.  At minimum, he could have taken a lead equal to the distance Muncy was from 3rd base.  Instead, it appears IKF was crazy close to 3rd upon contact.

right. even a few inches would have made the difference. Its maddening. If I was a true Blue Jays fan Id be heartbroken after last night.

 

Today I just feel bad form them. AND living so close to LA I know a ton of self righteous Dodger fans. Blech

Oh nooo

 

I know there's a lot of people here who say it means nothing unless you win it all 

 

Yet, I still believe winning a pennant is an immense accomplishment and that blue jays team was really fun to watch in the postseason

No DIS, but spoken as a Bills fan lol I get it

 

they could a woulda shoulda had it all though  SMH

 

I think your take is valid but might be too soon for the true fans to accept today. After Bills Huge losses I always get to that eventually but it takes a minute

Yea I hear ya , I wouldn't want some dolphins fan telling me it's okay that the Bills lost Super bowl 

 

I hear ya... That was literally one of the best baseball games I have watched a long time, this series was the best series I have watched in a long time

 

Blue Jays definitely coulda woulda shoulda

Bills game was much easier to watch, well up to the missed FG anyways.

Classless fans booing the trophy presentation. Just go home and cheer on your beloved Maple Leafs. 😂

 

 

Toronto fans might be the most underrated classless group of fans in sport.    Here they didn't sell out a game all regular season but they care so much to hang around and boo the trophy presentation.  I get it,  hockey set the bar for their behavior in other pro sports but it's just weak AF.
