That was the best world series since I've been alive.
Has to be right? The 9th inning was so nuts. But then we had the 18 inning game. Yamomoto coming back and pitching 3 innings.

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.32 -

Why the eff is Kiner-Falefa sliding into home? If he stays upright and runs through the plate, he scores. Moron.
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.

ABSOLUTE DEVASTATION
No devastation has ever been more devastating.
Jays were up 3 games to 2 then lost two at home.
Bases loaded one out in the bottom of the ninth. Didn't score the winning run.
Dodgers win 🇺🇸
as an American living in Toronto I can confirm that the entire state of Canada is devastated. They now have nothing but darkness shrouding their lives as they stare down an early winter coming in the next week. Emotionally, the Canadians had everything riding on this win and now it’s gone. They will have to watch another American team win the Stanley cup again this year too. I feel bad for them
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.10 -

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.
