In case anyone was wondering why they walked Ohtani 5 times, you should have seen what he did before it: 4-for-4, 2 home runs, 3 RBIs. I can see why they were prepared to give up 5 walks.
He's magic.

I think it says it all when the starting pitcher who pitched all 9 innings in game 2 (Yamamoto) was warming up in the bullpen at the end of game 3

[Bovidae]

Ohtani proves he is human as the Blue Jays take game 4. This series does feel like it goes the full distance.

And the people complaining and sayingthe intentional walk should be banned ,

It’s not going to change the result , if they don’t want to throw you a strike they won’t , it was introduced to speed the game up .

Dodgers did well to come away with the win. Got a bit dicey with them on the 8th inning and Blue Jays had two on base and only one out.

The greatest two words in sport GAME SEVEN

Ohtani gets all the attention but Yamamoto is a great pitcher ,

Ohtani and mad max throwing today , going to be very interesting

I'm not sure about putting Ohtani out there today on 3 days rest, I hope he can go well.

Crazy home run by Rojas in the 9th to tie it.

[ACT Crusader]

This game keeps delivering.

Bring on Yama in the 9th and walks one. Base loaded and 2 out.

A great hit and collision in the outfield for the catch.

We go to extra innings.

[ACT Crusader]

Now Blue Jays in a spot of bother with bases loaded and only 1 out with the Dodgers.

[NTA]

Dodgers win it in the 11th

[ACT Crusader]

A double play wins it.

The squeaky bum nature of this sport is on its own level!

[ACT Crusader]

Yama was huge to close that out. But Will Smith’s homer was massive.

[kiwiinmelb]

Yeah it’s been a great series,

So many big moments throughout

[gt12]

Yama gets MVP, things will go bananas here

[KiwiMurph]

That was brilliant sporting theatre.

Brutal if you are a Blues Jays fan. So close yet so far.

[mohikamo]

Yep, Yamamoto, with extra outings during the series, was very good every time he made an appearance.

[Bovidae]

A great series but gutted for Toronto. It would have been good to see the only non-US team win again. They had their chances though.

[kiwiinmelb]

It’s funny , I should prefer Toronto but a rival club I didn’t like I used to play against in the Melbourne league were the Blu jays with the same uniform and it puts me off .
