2025 World Series - Toronto Blue Jays vs Los Angeles Dodgers

[SuperMatt18]

If you're going to dress Bo you shouldn't bat him 4th behind Vlad.

You can't have IKF behind Vlads bat when you eventually make that substitution

[browna]

Yet another playoff loss you can pin squarely, squarely on abhorrent managing.
He’s good for one per series.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Without Springer and Bo we’re in big trouble.

This and Seattle game not his fault when your manager ####s you over.

What was he supposed to do tonight? The game went 18 innings

Little came in and had a huge inning.

The main mistakes Schneider made were not walking Ohtani in the 7th, and substituting out Barger. Not sure he could do much about how he used Little.

[Kidder]

What an insane game.

Ohtani can pitch a complete game and Beiber has struggled to get thru 3-4 innings this postseason.

Doesn’t look good for tomorrow.

[agulati]

If Springer is out, hopefully Bo can DH still

[DeluxeMoustache]

####ty ump was a tough guy in the top of the 2nd when Varsho assumed it was a walk and didn’t wait for his call

Then a brutal missed call in the 18th

Gutsy effort by the boys but in a game that close, robot umpires would be better

I’d be curious the balance of missed calls, but it was a couple of specific ones that stung

Yeah we really needed this game and it was there for the taking

[GirlySports]

Bichette cant play a full game.
Straw for Barger made no sense really the only bad move.
Schneider had to run for France.
Don't think Kirk is in shape to catch extra innings

[Inferno]

The playoffs have been fun but I'm really not looking forward to atleast a few more years of Schneider making boneheaded decisions that end up contributing to losses.

True but I think Kirk might be a bit banged up too.

Heinaman nearly screwed up but Kirk doesn’t get to third on that play
Someone needed to cash him in

[agulati]

Hope Bieber can get through few innings tomorrow, and we can chase out Ohtani. It might come to that.

And Schneider please stop with the over coaching and handling situations early on

[greyshep]

Seeing a constant flow of mashers come up for the Dodgers all the way through into the 18th inning versus our scarecrow lineup was pretty demoralizing. Vladdy looked cooked tonight too.

[Samonadreau]

Beiber needs to go at least 7 and steal one now.

No pressure.

[Jiri Hrdina]

Team has been resilient all year
They can rebound

Let's be accurate
He pulled Varsho
The other 3 were hurt, to varying degrees.
Let's not create a narrative that that isn't entirely accurate

[agulati]

On the bright side, the bull pen battled it out. Respect to them, going against that lineup and bats, and able to give our guys a chance.

[Jason14h]

Vladdy was on base 4/9 times tonight . While he didn’t have an Ohtani night he wasn’t bad at the plate
