McDonough. Caray’s is a garbled mess.

I guess it's a no-no for the announcers to call out bad strike calls. That first pitch to Ohtani wasn't close.

 

[mjmj]

This ump is already pissing me off. If they can’t make an accurate call, plus or minus a couple inches from the imaginary box, get someone who can.
Edit: you beat me to it. Its been silence with every bad call.

Ohtani had a first-pitch-called-strike parlay and the ump was in on it.

Seeing yesterday's calls with the Jays/Mariners, I can see it. Both teams were getting hosed on perfect pitches.

Muncy just sent Peralta packing.

Does Yama come out for the 9th @Revolver ?

Does Yama come out for the 9th @Revolver ?

Yes. Let him finish. Or at least batter to batter.

 

[Crazy Source]

Agreed.

 

[Corona]

Nice of the brewers to show up this series. Shouldn’t even bother getting on the plane to LA

 

[Revolver]

What a contrast to last year. Starters are just dominating other teams.

 

[Revolver]

Lmao

I think maybe Dave learned his lesson and let Yoshinobu finish his masterpiece game... or maybe some of the larger muscled Dodgers had some words with him.

Snell looked like he put a ton of sunflower seeds in his mouth and one by one removed the shells and spit them out without using his hands. Someone should tell him they sell sunflower seeds without shells.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

It's pretty much do or die game for the Jays, you can't go down 0 - 3. It's virtually impossible to comeback.

That's a tough one. Fully rested Kirby and bullpen at home. The series may never go back to Toronto.

I know, it doesn't look good for the Jays. We'll see if they can muster a win.

 

[HereticBD]

Wow, LA let a dominating pitcher continue to pitch...in the playoffs. What a strange concept.

The team would be better off if Roberts just let the players make these decisions going forward.
