see you all for game 7.

won't be able to come up in the 9th unless jays already won game. say score 2, 2 out, that's 4 batters. would need to then have bases loaded for george to come up again. anything else, he doens't come up in the 9th. any other hits/walks, jays win, any other other outs, either goes extra or jays loose. so strategically makes sense to replace a slower runner at this stage of the game where if anyone after had hit a single, he could have scored from 2nd.

should have replaced george at 1st with straw or ikf soon as he walked. george slowed due to knee and side injuries. if don't score there, then doesn't matter for having weaker bat later as later won't happen.

except changes how pitcch to every one after shohei so chances are less likely to score 3 runs, more likely to have only given up 1 and had better chance NOT to let dodgers score with 1 on, 2 out, then with bases loaded because scared to pitch to 2 batters.

sounds bad, but mistake to walk shohei in that at bat.... gausman had already ko'd him earlier, might as well give him the chance to get him again. intent walk just gives him and dodgers a boost that you are scared of them. didn't help being too careful with freeman either.

at this point even with no chance of reverse call, have the replay. gives time for pen to warm up and can take out hoffman and put in fisher or rodi.

god, hoffman again, 2nd straight game.... why not use dominguez or rodriguez? can't trust hoffman in tight games like this.

The Rainman comes makes it pour as he comes in to hold the win.

still cleanched and painful...

I would trust Dustin over Jeff any day of the week.... and Dustin is 88yrs old...

hoffman making it interesting again...

if they hold on, they have chance to face a tampa team with jays killer Yandy Diaz out of lineup. pulled his groin today, they might shut him down for rest of season, which makes their lineup a bit easier to handle for last 3 games.

surprised bosox aren't asking to check jays bats for corkage.... those will put some 'springs' in their steps....🤪

holy crap!! jays actually scored more then 1 run!

bases loaded, none out, what you think? weak pop up, ko, ground ball and no runs?
