    The next two hitters reached base dude. That's how they scored 3 runs. I'm simply going by what really happened in the game here and not extrapolating what would have happened. The game is a 1-0 win if we don't walk him and everything else happens in the same way. I'm not going to live in some fantasy world where we try to predict what would have been different because that is a pointless exercise.

    We saw Ohtani's next at-bat against Gausman and he made an out. That's better evidence than any reality that you have concocted. It really happened.
  3. Grant77
    The game already happened and that decision was the difference between winning and losing. Sure, the game could have gone differently from that point on, but we don't know in what way. We can only judge the plays that happened in front of us and in that reality, it cost us the win. If the only way you can refute my argument is my creating alternative realities for yourself to live in then that's pretty sad.

    It's very likely that he wouldn't have faced any other batters in that inning, had JS not chose the intentional walk.
  5. Grant77
    I couldn't disagree more. Intentional walks are almost always a bad decision. The statistics bear that out. JS had no way of knowing that Dominguez would throw a BP fastball down the middle. You keep the ball low and Ohtani gets out every time. It's been true this whole series.
  6. Grant77
    Three runs on the board due to that decision. Ohtani never came close to touching Gausman.
  7. Grant77
    I don't have a problem with being aggressive in game 3. I didn't even criticize him at the time. You can't even begin to compare those two scenarios in my opinion.
  8. Grant77
    I was right and we would have a World Series Championship right now if we had not walked him like I said at the time, so there's that.

    It's not hyperbole and I made that clear. That's why I'm so upset about it. We've never seen anything close to that level of managerial stupidity in the history of the franchise. I get that you want to bury your head in the sand and that's ok too, but people have a right to be furious.
  10. Grant77
    It's the worst blunder in the history of the franchise, by a massive margin. It deserves to be talked about. That's what the forum is for, talking about baseball. Ignore it if you don't want to talk about it.

    I didn't criticize JS for putting in Little in Seattle or pulling the guys in game I've defended him all season and I still will going forward. Walking Ohtani in The 4th is perhaps the worst decision in the history of the World Series and that's not hyperbole. Gausman was absolutely f***ing cruising and had made him look like a fool in the first at-bat. It turned out to be the difference in the game. I can't even begin to fathom how outrageously stupid that decision was. When is he going to trust his f***ing pitchers? Gausman has been great for us for four f***ing years and they still don't trust him. I'll never get over how incredibly f***ing stupid that was, never. Say what you want about Cito Gaston, but this team has 5 wins right now if he's the manager in the World Series.
  12. Grant77
    You can't possibly that dense. He's certainly not the best hitter, Gausman was owning him, he was hitting like s***, and the situation didn't call for it. It will certainly go down as one of the biggest blunders in the history of the World Series if we lose. People will be talking about Schneider's f*** up for decades.
  13. Grant77
    The intentional walk is entirely responsible for the result. Just an unforgivable gaffe by Schneider. I've never seen anything like that in my life.
  14. Grant77
    You take your chances against a guy who has looked like s*** lately and hasn't hit Gausman. Jzs crumbled under pressure. It was a truly outrageous decision with no defense. At least throw some low splits and let him get himself out, which he is prone to doing.
  15. Grant77
    I still can't believe JS walked Ohtani with Gaus pitching so well and Ohtani hitting so poorly. I was yelling at my TV in front of all my guests. That's inexplicable completely idiotic decision cost us 3 runs.
  16. Grant77
    Walking Ohtani there is, bar none, the worst managerial decision I have ever seen in my life.
  17. Grant77
    I spent just over $500 to go to game 1.
  18. Grant77
    I was born in 1988 and my earliest childhood memory of any kind is "Timlin...TO CARTER" on my late mother's bed. Jumping and screaming at the top of our lungs. I can only hope that all of the young Jays fans will have such a special memory in their lives.
  19. Grant77
    There are no Dodger fans in that whole section. Is it reserved for us or something? That's insane.
  20. Grant77
    The winning run in a non-shutout was scored on the third pitch of the game. I wonder if that has ever happened before.
  21. Grant77
    Trey: "I gave everything I had for Canada" This guy gets it. That's what it's all about for this team.
  22. Grant77
    Of course, but I know better than to try to predict that 🤣. Baseball is awesome.

    Atta boy Hoffman. One more game, boys.
  25. Grant77
    Hard to believe we'd be on the verge of celebrating a World Series Championship right now had a strike a foot above the zone not been called on Varsho.
