News flash. Shohei Ohtani is human. Read all about it. After getting on base a ridiculous nine times in Game 3, with two doubles, two home runs (including the game-tying homer in the seventh), and five walks, the three-time (and soon to be four) MVP took the mound, to follow […]
Well, so much for the narrative that the Dodgers bullpen cannot be trusted. In last night’s eighteen inning classic, the much maligned bullpen pitched an eleven-inning shutout. After Toronto scored its fifth run in the seventh inning to take a 5-4 lead, it never scored again. It really never threatened […]
After a day of travel, the World Series resumes with Game 3 tonight in Los Angeles. Forty-year-old Max Scherzer will get the start for Toronto against Los Angeles’s Tyler Glasnow. On paper, this one favors the Dodgers. Scherzer made seventeen starts this year, winning five, losing five, with a 5.19 […]
Old school baseball is back. When you don’t have a great bullpen, just get a starter who can go all nine innings. Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw his second straight complete game in the postseason, beating the Blue Jays 5-1, and evending the World Series at a game apiece. This used to […]
Well, the Dodgers aren’t invincible after all. The starting pitcher that flattened the Brewers ran into a Blue Jays team that isn’t going to go down so easy. L.A. allowed just four runs in four games against Milwaukee, as if they were playing the hapless Rangers. But Toronto has actual […]
All the talk of baseball dying is just nonsense. In 2025, Major League Baseball enjoyed a third consecutive year of increased attendance, with 71,409,421 fans attending a game this year. Last year, they hit the seventy million mark. It could have been higher had Tampa Bay and Sacramento played in […]
The wait for the World Series to start is agonizing. There’s nothing more mind-numbing than endless predictions and talking heads blathering on about who will do what. Just play the game. Game 1 is tomorrow night in Toronto. It can’t get here soon enough. Most people are expecting the Dodgers […]
The World Series starts Friday in Toronto. When the season started, it was a foregone conclusion the Dodgers would win. After winning it last year, they went on a spending spree in the offseason, buying what seemed like every free agent bat, starting pitcher, and reliever available. It was an […]
When George Springer’s hit cleared the wall in left center, forty-eight years of Seattle futility became forty-nine. It turned a 3-1 Seattle lead into a 4-3 Toronto lead, that would be the eventual final score. With that, the Toronto Blue Jays are headed to the World Series to face the […]
There will be a Game 7. Seattle at Toronto. Unless you’re a fan of the Mariner, this is what every baseball fans wanted—a winner-take-all elimination game. Every pitch, every hit, every baserunner is crucial. It’s been a wonderful series, as playoff baseball usually is. Teams that can hit and manufacture […]
