2025 World Series - Toronto Blue Jays vs Los Angeles Dodgers

[Samonadreau]

We have lost 3 runs now by playing too desperate and not smart base running.

Vladdy would have been walked. Schneider managed himself into a corner because it would have been IKF. We have like 4 regular bats in our lineup.

[SuperMatt18]

It sucks but I'm generally a believer of making the other team make a play. Schneider seems like he should have been quicker around the base paths there though

Vlad pops up and it's the same outcome.

Nah it wasn’t close though. And it’s Vlad up next not Straw.
Hoffman gets two innings but Bassit doesn’t.

[The Big Chill]

Send him there if it’s anybody but Vladdy coming up

[Hemi-Cuda]

So many stupid decisions in the last few innings. If the Jays lose its on them for shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly

[flamingred89]

Dan making a great point. They walk Vladdy anyway.

[Enoch Root]

Disagree. Put pressure on the defense.

Exit: and yes, they would have walked Vladdy

Then a wild pitch, or hit batter scores the guy. It wasn’t even close to being safe, he was out by about 6 feet. Bad send.

[browna]

Fine but then a WP brings in a run.

[Acey]

Yeah they walk Vladdy because unlike the Jays they have respect for hitters that can do damage.

[agulati]

Just feels like a game where Hoffman serves something up on a platter. Really really hope not

[Enoch Root]

It took 2 good.throws.to get him. Either throw is off and he scores.

I think it was the right call in that situation

Was thinking the same thing. Or get crazy and try a safety squeeze.

[Whynotnow]

I mean if you are gonna hit a guy make it count.

There are definitely seasons where that would be an automatic safe call. But, they change the nuances of that rule so often, so who knows.

Fox guys are saying he should have bowled him over in that situation.

[bluejays]

Hoffman losing control a bit. Hope for a dp.

[browna]

Lovely. 30+ pitches for Hoffman. He’s getting tired and is out for tomorrow. And they are getting looks at him.
