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

[FiveTacos]

36 years ago I was out at an event with school friends, and got back just in time to catch the start of the bottom of the 9th of game 1 and saw the Gibson HR.

Last night I was at my kids' school event, and got back at the start of the bottom of the 9th inning.

And both walkoffs happened at 8.37 pm.

Total deja vu. A little spooky.

Watching the Dodgers makes me just feel bad for Mike Trout, what an absolutely brutally wasted career

MLB guys have more freedom than most other sports, if they really want to they can get to a good situation. He didn't have to sign for 12 years. He could have been a free agent back in 2020.

and if he cared about winning he would have gone somewhere else

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Yeah the Trout thing is weird... I guess he really likes Anaheim?

Sort of like Harper he left a bunch of money on the table for Philly.

Of course, it’s just crazy they couldn’t put a decent team together with two of the best players of all time in Trout and Ohtani

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

It's just insane that they had prime Trout and were winning like 70 games lol

Harper leaves Washington and the Nationals, who couldn't get over the hump over the years with him, all of a sudden go on a cinderella run to a World Series title.

Just bad timing with Harper, even though he got the Phillies to the 2022 World Series, just came up short against Houston.

Yamamoto really does have some nasty stuff, it’s just a matter of being consistent with it.

Getting Stanton out on the first pitch after going to full counts with the first three batters is huge, not just because he didn’t jack it out of the park but to preserve pitch counts.

 

[BMOK33]

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

Well he was ass against the Padres in the NLDS so that doesn’t really check out

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Soto goes deep!

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

 

[the valiant effort]

Classic Téo

:shatkins:

 

[EpochLink]

Teoscar tees off, Betts comes up with the clutch hit before that.

Freddie goes off again!

 

[EpochLink]

Dodgers got 3 runs with 2 outs this inning, Rodon will not see the end of this inning if another run comes through.

Classic Téo

:shatkins:

The Blue Jays needed bullpen help after that Seattle collapse, Shatkins were 'justified' with the trade.

 

[GKJ]

Ohtani gonna hit this dude into another zip code

edit: this was not a good prediction.

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.

 

[VILARGOD]

Not as long as idiots watch the worthless garbage mlb product. But I believe viewership is waning. It would be nice if MLB went under and all the franchises were absolutely worthless.

Sounds like something radicalized you

 

[EpochLink]

Has anyone told Aaron Judge it's the postseason? Let alone the World Series? My dude you gotta do something.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Yamamoto earned like 3% of his contract tonight.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We suck. Series is over

 

[TNT87]

Uh oh

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Ohtani down and in pain.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Appears to be his left wrist.
