GDT: 2024 WS: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Yankees

[Terry Yake]

Manfred and his piece of metal

 

[SJSharksfan39]

LA really did not do a parade in 2020? Thats weak

It was the Covid year.

Manfred and his piece of metal

Someone should've asked Manfred about Oakland

 

[BMOK33]

It was the Covid year.

Still surprised though given by October things were more open

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Say the line, Big Papi!

Papi is a clown get him off the tv

 

[Breakers]

Boone was flat out terrible.

Even the announcers said he made just as many mistakes as his players

 

[Blitzkrug]

As a Blue Jays fan, let me congratulate both Teoscar Hernandez and Kevin Keirmeier for doing what so many former athletes who once called Toronto home did before them; leaving, and then actually winning something.

It was the Covid year.

don't take the bait.

 

[EpochLink]

Freddie Freeman World Series MVP is no surprise.
Well earned.

 

[BMOK33]

I still expect Soto stays there but the roster is still not exceptionally great. They'll have a hard time getting through teams like Baltimore/LA if they make it here again

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

You know you’re gonna cherish that Braves ring more though, Freddy.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Didn't the flags of the World Series trophy used to have the logo of all the teams?

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Yeah plus his actual decline should start soon, it not looking likely he'll get a ring.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Can't wait for the Dodgers to pay infinity gorillion dollars in the winter to land Sasaki and then inexplicably sign Juan Soto because lol f*** you that's why.

 

[Extra Texture]

I think no production captures the winning moment like MLB does. Every player...every angle...the dugout...the management suite...

The reactions the moment the final out is recorded is right up there as my favourite moment of the World Series.

It’s that moment of the final swing/catch/whatever turning a mostly stoic bunch of focused players and dugout into a bunch of screaming kids running out there joyously. It truly is a great moment, like a split second full emotional release.

And you’re right, there is nothing quite like it, because it happens in an instant, unlike the usual of a game petering out in the NHL or NBA (assuming it’s not a buzzer beater or OT goal or something). It’s one of the things I love about baseball

 

[BMOK33]

Yeah plus his actual decline should start soon, it not looking likely he'll get a ring.

If you're the Mets/Phillies/Dodgers you really have to question if 500 mill is logical given he cannot really play defense, but he should remain an effective hitter for 6-8 more years

I remember the Joe Carter home run, I watched it go over the fence and it zoomed to Carter celebrating around the base after. The home celebration and mob on with from his teammates were spectacular.

This one is over. Day off to go home is good for the Dodgers, recenter themselves, hope to have another strong Yamamoto start against the Yankees

I mean, how could I know the Yankees would punt that bad?

 

[Blitzkrug]

Yeah i don't think you could exactly see those type of boneheaded errors coming, let alone essentially one after another.

 

[EpochLink]

Yankees had this in the bag and fumbled it severely, Cole just collapsed in the 5th inning.
Too many mistakes.

What's gonna happen now with the Yankees screwing up game 5? They have to watch the Jets on Thursday Night Football.

Cole was fine until his defense decided to completely shit itself. The "collapse" came because Boone is apparently blind and couldn't tell his ace was struggling in the aftermath.

How this guy continually avoids being canned is beyond me.

 

[Terry Yake]

ohtani leaving the angels and winning a ring with the dodgers is like watching your ex wife get married in a lavish ceremony with a far more attractive, successful, and wealthy man

 

[Reality Check]

Womp womp for the Yankees.

They'll probably never get another run like that from Stanton again.

 

[Blitzkrug]

May the Yankees go another 15 years without getting to the world series.

 

[BMOK33]

Sounds like Ohtani might need surgery on that shoulder. If he misses a large portion of next year hindsight you'd argue if he should have just been IL'd. They could have won this series without him from game 3 onward

 

[stephenball]

This was also a big payoff for the Dodgers not trying to force things in their bullpen game. Writing it off as a likely loss after falling behind early and not throwing their good relievers out there really paid dividends tonight.
