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

[Reality Check]

Womp womp for the Yankees.

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

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

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

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.

Ooof… how about 150 instead

Dave Roberts finally having that full season of being the best team in the regular season, then winning it all must be a relief for him. After years of underachieving come post season time, he finally gets his due.

Good for him, I wrote him off for 2 straight years of playoff disasters.

I honestly prefer it my way.

Give them a little inkling of hope they can get there, then have somebody like the Astros show up and kick them in the nads multiple times. Then the cycle repeats next season like some sick twisted version of groundhog day. It's torture for that fanbase.

I can finally be happy about Roberts decisions today. I was hiding my face in my hat when he left Treinen in but it worked. Bringing out Buehler finally was the killer instinct. He knew he had them on the ropes. Happy to eat crow if it means they got the ring.

I knew when Buehler was warming up, he was saving him for the 9th

I just can't believe they took both Cole starts. On paper you could pencil in those as wins and try to win the inbetween games, but they went above and beyond.

I'm surprised Boone didn't give him a pep talk in that 5th inning, Cole was running on fumes when it was 5-3.

All it took was that little miscommunication at 1st. It's crazy. A play they make every single other game multiple times a game. And thank god Mookie was busting his ass to 1st.

Speaking of Mookie, 3 times in the World Series and all 3 times he has won.

Mookie Betts is an all time playoff performer.
