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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I get the need to diversify the lineup with LH and RH, but the #bluejays most consistent hitter right now is Ernie Clement. Wouldn't this make more sense:
Springer, Lukes, Guerrero, Santander, Clement, Kirk, Varsho, Barger, Gimenez.
I'd rather him get an extra AB than any of the guys behind him.

I still maintain the #bluejays win in spite of John Schneider, but when you win 90+ games, get a bye in the 1st round of the playoffs and then beat the Yankees in 4 games...uhhhh yeah, you're not getting fired.

The #bluejays can still figure this out, but if they get smoked in this round while scoring 8 or 9 runs total, that'd kind of be indicative of the season. They had multiple 6, 7, 8-game stretches where they just couldn't score -- most recently about a week before the end of the season.

I saw this exact game in Pittsburgh a few months back. Springer Dinger followed by 2 outs and then 00000000. It wasn't fun then and it wasn't fun tonight. #bluejays

If the #bluejays can take a 3-1 lead here, I might start allowing myself to consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, they're going to pull this off.
