Honestly, I’ll take an organ over ten seconds clips of pop music over and over.
Yes, a bit much. But like asterion the last game I watched a couple years ago every batter had a theme song.
That first pitch to Guerrero in his last at bat was ballsy. Right down the middle. Ohtani is cruising and pretty efficient with his pitch count. He can do another couple innings if he stays out of trouble.
Walk-up music goes back probably 30 years now. But I’ve been to games where it was like the organist had the night off and it just wasn’t the same when it was nothing but like 1970s rock.
Still kills me why Fresh Prince theme isn’t used for Will Smith.
Each player picks his own. I could see him being tired of the reference if nothing else.
Anyone for a bouzouki chorus?
God Bless Peanuts and Crackerjack, Victoria Bitter and Poutine.
Got a decent Australian video feed and Sportsnet, Canada’s #1 Sports Network radio.
They’re playing an IHOP commercial.
Jays may have put it away. Sounds like a lot of LA fans, as usual, have hit the road.
That was a long review for an obvious bad call. Back to Toronto!
Cool! I’m watching the Sportsnet TV coverage. Don’t have any VB though; I’m making do with Bow Valley Lager.
Did anyone ask for a Frasier style reference?
No Yogi Berra refs, please. That was a strikeout all day, anywhere.
ETA: Whoo. Best of 3 with two in Toronto.
So far Toronto has been the dominant team in the series, and the Dodgers either had Yamamoto or just lucked out.
We have to see what Snell does tomorrow. Either way, it’s best of three! Love this!
Well, Shohei has contributed a little at the plate too.
It’s a best of 3 and 2 of those games are in Toronto. I never thought I’d say this but might the Dodgers be in trouble?
Yeah, at this point I’d say LA’s chances of winning the trophy are 40% or somewhat less. Against the Blue Jay’s potent batting attack, the Dodgers’ whole formula consisted of using their starters to hide their crappy bullpen. That approach was bound to be punctured sooner or later when the starters inevitably were due for a bad day. On top of that, Pages just can’t seem to stop flying out and the Jays’ approach of walking Ohtani continues to pay off.
You have to walk him. Have to. It’s like Barry Bonds in his prime years. Bonds was even intentionally walked once when the bases were loaded.
The main factor so far is that the Dodgers who are batting behind Ohtani don’t make the Jays pay in any way for putting Ohtani on base. Mookie Betts, etc. haven’t driven in RBIs to send him home. It took Toronto a bit too long to catch onto this fact, but they embraced it.
I wouldn’t say that the Dodgers lucked out, but I agree on Yamamoto. He’s dangerous.
At least the Jays get to go back to Toronto, for at least one game. Of course, they can play in any park, but they always seemed (to me, anyway) to be most comfortable at home.
Mookie’s bat might be finally waking up. He hit the ball hard today for some loud outs before a late game liner to left for a single.
If his bat comes alive, the Blue Jays are done for. It takes more than two hitters to win, typically, but a hot hitting Shohei and Mookie might just be enough for LA.
The crappy bullpen that didn’t give up a run for nine innings in game 4?
