World Series

Really impressive effort - full team effort by the Jays.
Maybe ...

And without Springer in the line up. Indeed impressive beating Ohtani.

And someone is going to try to swing at balls well out of the strike zone?
Much less chance of getting a hit.
It's not me who doesn't know baseball, lol.

Yes they sometimes did. And sometimes a pitcher didn't throw as far outside as he wanted. And sometimes a pitcher lost a grip. And sometimes a catcher flubbed a catch. The point is - Unexpected things happen when players have to throw the ball.

I read once that Rod Carew swung at a pitch that was part of an intentional walk situation. He was challenging/daring the pitcher to throw normally.
That is the Only time I read about Any batter swinging at a pitch that was part of an intentional walk.
You say Rose and others did so.Without documentation I don't believe it.

Eleven times in MLB history (1900 or later) has a batter swung at a pitch intended for an intentional walk, put the ball in play, and reached first base safely (9 times via a base bit, and twice, Pete Rose in 1972 and Andres Galarraga in 1996, on an error); the batting team won the game every time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxUCKM1vFNIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxUCKM1vFNIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6YzVvtxoaY

I'll be damned!Learn something new every day!
I follow baseball but was totally unaware of Cabrera's actions.
11 times it's been done successfully, I wonder how many times it didn't work?
Thx for the information.

I think game 5 is a LA win. Simply too many stars to lose 2 in a row. I got this ending in 6 games.I really want to be wrong.

The Jays are resilient. I'd say the majority of people and experts saw them losing game 4, myself included. Then they turn around and kicked ass last night. If Springer is in tonight, anything can happen. The question is: how will Yesavage pitch?

Trey is dealing tonight, Can the Jays give the young man some more runs Please!!

 

[Forum mod]

Another gem of a game from the Jays. One more and the Dodgers are done. And they looked very human tonight.

I only know one thing, there will be no taking out the Jay's muscle for pinch runners in game 6 or 7.
1000 percent fact

My life's experience says that if some thing is possible no matter how remote, you should never discount that possibility.
Let's wait and see.

Cryptic message. Can apply to either team I'd say.

dare to dream,Arnold,dare to dream.
do you remember that Kokanee ad?

Can they solve Yamamoto like they had a breakthrough against Ohtani?
if not, they have the luxury of a Game 7 to try again.

I'd have to check but I think the Jays were a bit below .500 as late as late May?They turned things around, helped by guys who are not exactly household names, and guys that weren't here a year ago.

go Jays!

Jays now -240 to -250 favourites to win the pennant.
I had just settled into my chair when the first HR went down then was in disbelief when the 2nd one happened. Hadn't even had time to crack a beer!
That was a WS record.
Then Yesavage pitches a rookie record game.
Love how he turns and walks off the mound after an out. That guy has gusto, if he keeps this up, destined for greatness.
Keep rockin Jays, fun watching these games.
