Blue Jays fans go home DEVASTATED

51st state.

In the postgame interview, Yamamoto said he was able to do what he did because he had learned how to use his "whole body" and avoid putting too much of a burden on arm (his interpreter said he learned how to use his "body correctly," which was not quite right).

He said he gradually learned how to do this after injuring his elbow badly when he was 19 y.o.

Runners should take note. Maybe it's a failure to use our whole body -- particularly our back, pelvic, and butt muscles -- that explains why so many of us get injured so often.

True testament that diversity is strength.

Some say distraught, but devastated gets closer to the reality

Blue Jays fans distraught after dramatic World Series loss to Dodgers

In front of their home crowd, Toronto needed one run with the bases loaded to topple LA in the bottom of the ninth inning. Yet somehow their wait for a first title since 1993 continues.

At least we don't have to live with MAGA in our midst.

He knows a lot more about base running than we do. If he goes flying in into home without sliding, and the throw draws the catcher into his path, he would be risking a nasty collision at knee level. If he plows into the catcher and is safe, he could be deemed out at the umpire’s discretion. If a runner does slide, the difference is negligible and a play where comes down to about an inch, is very uncommon. Home plate is not a bag and sliding ensures he won’t miss it.

Devasted at first, but considering the Jays finished last in their division in 2024, going to extra innings in game 7 of the WS a year later is amazing.

Great series to watch, the grid, loyalty and belief both teams had was inspiring.

LA rules.

You are so effing wrong…

It’s a force play, right in front of him. If the catcher impedes his path before he has the ball, he will be called safe, not out. The difference in sliding is NOT negligible, for god’s sake. Putting the brakes on slows you down, period. And it doesn’t ensure you hit the plate… often you’ll see guys bounce their lead foot and miss the plate with it altogether.

It was a stupid, brain-dead play. Dude is in there as a pinch-runner. He had one job, and effed it up.

who has been a dodger fan since Steve Garvey Davey Lopes Bill Russell Ron Cey?

2001 is about the only other one that compares IMO.

70 second recap of the key plays from the ninth inning to game over. Epic

If Canada becomes the 51st state then you will 😘

You are right.

We all heard the comments post game about "staying closer to base" and "no secondary leads" to avoid being doubled off but my god - you have the winning of the world series right there about 80 feet away from you and I think this is an important point. At that point in the game you can't lose the World Series. It is literally a no lose situation. If you make it home you win, if you don't and get doubled out then you go to extra innings.

To basically assume the worst possible play would happen (a line drive directly to Muncy and then somehow after making the catch he beats you back to base) is such negative and defeatist thinking - honestly you deserve to lose the game. Muncy was 15 feet off base - why do you need to be leading off only half that distance? Fine, no secondary leads - you could have been another 4 feet off base and would have had to be paying absolutely no attention at all to get pinched and that's assuming the worst case scenario out of about a million possible scenarios happened. And guess what, that scenario didn't happen.

Dropping you damn knee into the ground 8 feet from home and sliding makes a MASSIVE difference as you said! I get why guys don't want to just run through, then you have just superman it towards that back corner of the plate, sacrifice a little skin off your elbows and chest and you win the WS.

Zero winning instincts on that play. Put is this way if the roles were reversed do you think there is any way the Jays get away with a bobbled pickup and stumble before throwing to home? No way - the Dodgers would have ended it right there. Kiner-Falefa and/or his "advisor" at 3rd base basically everything they possible could to not score there and it cost them the world series. Forget Pages making the catch, forget Mookie nailing the double play because it should never have got to that point.
