Now Beuhler is making money. This is vintage.

thought we'd go for him on a bounceback contract

Crazy the direction this series has taken after game one.

What an awful strike 3 call on Gleyber

Mark Carlson? Didn't he f over the Nats 2 or 3 games this year?

Brutally bad call

That K of Stanton was beautiful

Impressive performance by Brasier

Would have been happy if Verdugo mafe the 3rd out.

Get Gleyber on for Soto

Well, at least they avoided the shutout. Yankees batting .186/.284/.294 in the WS

soto to right, Mookie to center. Or 2d. Or SS. He's Mookie

Or they just stick Soto in LF where he belongs

woke up this morning to see that Stanton is still running from third to home.

lol Yankees suck. Chris Russo "aka the Mad Dog" was right, the Yanks made it to the WS because their path in the AL was so much easier than what the Dodgers had to face in the NL playoffs.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #462 on:** October 29, 2024, 08:37:21 am »

NL had a .510 record vs the AL this year.

Via jomboy: The Yankees watched 21 four-seam called-strike fastballs go past them last night. That's 2nd only to the Nats who did it 24 times in a game this past season.

How many of those were actually in the strike zone? The umps seem to be using a random strike call generator for this series.

seemed like there were a lot in the zone. At one point six straight Yankees looked at first pitch strikes. I assume they will be a lot more aggressive tonight.

It’s important to remind the Yankees fans in your life that there is precedent for a team coming back from down 0-3 in a playoff series. They need and love to hear it.

Both teams are known for lack of chase rate. Good strategy by the Dodger pitchers to throw strikes.

It's kind of fun kind of cheering for the Yankees because of Soto, but at the same time being able to enjoy them losing because they are the Yankees.

For me, lots of ex Sox and Nats. Mookie, Brasier, ~~Graterol~~, Hernandez, Hudson, Banda vs Verdugo & Soto.

Gehrig didn’t play in the 1939 World Series. He retired earlier in the year.
