WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

.. there's always a little of that in a few games, yes.
But also, look at the batted ball profile. Dodgers are putting everything in the air, and popping up a ton. They're better engineered to slug, and they have 12 XBH to 8, but otherwise they're making contact that's not going to turn into hits.

One thing that's interesting to me about the WS so far is that despite narratives, there's not really a batting contact advantage here.

LA has exactly 3 more strikeouts. But:

Defense has been about equal. So maybe you'd go "good luck," and ..

There’s an alternate universe where David Moyes signed Fabregas, Kroos and Bale instead of Mata and Fellaini in his first season at Man Utd and they went on to plenty of domestic and European success.
But it isn’t this one.
