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

[Bringer of Jollity]

Absolutely brain dead.

 

[stephenball]

Yeah, left wrist got held up awkwardly during the slide. Hopefully just a stinger but he seemed to be in a good amount of pain.

I mean, I said before the at bat started that I could see him trying to steal during the at bat, but didn’t expect it on first pitch.

Ohtani injury about to be a series changer. Potential lucky break for the Yankees.

Unless Ohtani is playing the field, Dodgers can fill the DH.

 

[stephenball]

Will have to see how serious it is, I’m sure they’ll be doing heavy evaluation tonight and have no game tomorrow. If he can play he’ll be playing, it’ll just be down to how much it impacts him if he’s in.

 

[stephenball]

If Ohtani is out it’ll just balance out with Judge basically not playing this series.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Treinen has created a very big mess.

 

[BMOK33]

Once that AB got to 2-2 I'd have never swung again just assuming he was going to throw me all sliders

 

[Emperoreddy]

That's the series. This Yankee team doesn't have the heart to come back

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Dodgers should be able to win the series even if Otahni out...but I don't expect him to miss the entire time

 

[stephenball]

Dodgers have to feel good that even if the Yankees come back for a few games they’d still have to beat Yamamoto, who has been lights out against the Yankees so far this season.

If Ohtani does miss time, I assume Freeman goes to DH, Muncy to 1st, Kike to 3rd, Lux in?

Dodgers might have dodged (no pun intended) a massive bullet.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Think he is just too small. Not confident that contract works out well at all.

I mean, I literally said he needs to find consistency with his nasty stuff. He didn’t have it in game one against the Padres, but the next game against them he threw 5 scoreless innings. That’s what I mean by consistency, not bouncing back and forth with those outings.

Apologies. Posting from my phone and quoted the wrong post.

Meant to quote @BMOK33 about Edmans being on roids

 

[Terry Yake]

no way ohtani misses any time

still think this one goes seven though

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I remember a decade ago being 100% sure Carlos Ruiz was juicing and I turned out right he got busted a year later. I feel the same about Edman now, this dude can’t be this good as a career 740 OPSer

Man get the f*** out of here with that bullshit. The f*** is wrong with you?

Aaron Judge must be really feeling the pressure now, a massive no show in his first World Series and quite honestly, his post seasons haven't been that great.

He's one of the worst playoff performers ever

The excuse train for him has to stop, Soto and Stanton have been producing instead of him. It comes to a point where he has to do something instead of striking out.

Good news for everyone not rooting for the Yankees. Ohtani hasn’t been phenomenal in the WS so far (big play in game 1 shouldn’t be overlooked), but he’s given no indication that he won’t have a big game coming up.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Ohtani in the lineup is a threat the Yankees can't ignore.

Ya... the fact that Ohtani, Betts, K Hernandez, Muncy and Will Smith haven't played up to standard should be frightening. Yes, they have all had impactful moments but overall they are all playing under their abilities.

Freeman, Teoscar, and Edman have been on fire so even if they taper off you would have to think some of the other guys will start getting their cookies.

We will see which Walker Buehler we get but he has been elite in the postseason before and overall has some very good playoff stats. Schmidt has pitched well recently so it will be a good matchup, but if the Yankees can't rough up Buehler this could be it.

 

[stephenball]

Yeah, I remember back in the year the Nats beat the Dodgers on the way to their World Series Buehler was an absolute nightmare to play against. Of course that was several years and a lot of injuries ago. I don’t think he has to be a hero, the Dodgers are probably just hoping he can do well enough and get through enough innings so they don’t have to go to the bullpen early today

What the hell is going on right now? We really need a concert?

What happened to the game I love. Just start the game.
