B/c of this #worldseries, some will say baseball's in great shape. Not true. The Dodgers slept through half the season, rolled through the playoffs w/ bad defense, inconsistent offense, and a mostly terrible bullpen and still beat #MLB's 2nd best team. #bluejays
That's the talent gap.

Clearly the #bluejays plan coming into the game was to take pitches. Meanwhile, Yamamoto continues to throw first-pitch strikes -- and those pitches are the most hittable. Down 3-0, time to change strategies. You're not going to wait him out. Start swinging early, fellas.

And if you are still scoring at home, the #BlueJays have now trailed, trailed, trailed and trailed by the second inning in every game of the series so far.

If you are keeping stats at home, the #BlueJays have now put 13 runners on base in the first two innings of the World Series and have scored zero runs.

Even if it walks a run in, the Blue Jays should intentionally walk Shohei Ohtani for every remaining at bat of the World Series. #bluejays

The #bluejays just got royally screwed. That is not only a bad call, that's a bad *late* call. But the good news is, I'm sure that run won't matter at all against a guy with an ERA under 1.

Although why not Bassitt? Get him in for 2-3 innings to save the bullpen.

WTF, Ernie? The old baseball adage applies here:
NEVER make the first or third out of the inning at 3rd base.
That's freaking terrible. #bluejays

Looking forward to #Bichette's return, and glad the #bluejays aren't sacrificing Gimenez's D to move him back to SS. My only beef on the WS roster is France instead of Loperfido. France's floor is higher, but his ceiling is so low. He's a PH who probably won't K -- and that's it.

I haven't been the biggest Jeff Hoffman fan since his mid-year crisis of confidence, but it's worth noting in games 6 and 7 of the ALCS, he pitched 3 innings and allowed a single BB, 0 hits and had 7 Ks. That is back-of-the-bullpen dominance you need to win a WS. #bluejays

100% agree, and an honorable honorable mention to Andres Gimenez. He did a little bit of everything.

Can't believe I'm saying this: would Bo be a net positive? I don't think he'd be better than Gimenez at SS and if he DHs, Springer's in right and that's probably a defensive downgrade, too. Runs will be at a premium vs LA's pitching and the #bluejays defense is probably their only advantage.

Felt right to repost this as we head to the top of the 9th.
On one hand, I don't love bringing in Hoffman here. A HR and this game is a whole new ballgame.
BUT...
You need Hoffman to be dominant if you're going to win the World Series, so it's time to see if he's got it. #bluejays

I don't think he was all that thrilled with how Max reacted. Didn't seem to be much acknowledgement when Max entered the dugout after his final out.

This take continues to age like Radio Shack.
It's not like John Schneider has the luxury of waiting to replace Bieber tonight, but this already feels like another 8-pitcher kind of night. Bieber ain't got it -- again. And Scherzer won't have it either. #bluejays fans, this is looking like a sweep.
