So...if Kahnle doesn't give up the double to Ohtani, the error* which allowed Ohtani to go to 3rd doesn't happen. Anyone can play that silly game. *BTW...Gameday says the error was given to Soto. There's a difference between giving up a double to Ohtani which happens and committing a boneheaded fielding error which is inexcusable. OK...giving up the double to Ohtani was "excusable". I guess giving up the HR to Freeman was also "excusable". |

Gotta give it to Verdugo for having a solid game tonight. 2 great catches and had a hit. He hasn't been perfect or anything, but he's had these solid plays/abs at times this post season at times obv you want some more power and a higher OPS, but he's had some key moments.

Saves you the trouble of watching the remaining games, I guess. Or reading your 2 batter delayed emotionless pitch by pitch updates while Yankees are getting walked off ... I guess You are alone in this. Just about everyone else enjoys qwik's play by play which is informative and helpful. |

Frankly, its the defense and the dumb managerial decision to pitch Nestor that piss me off more than the actual game ending HR.

You can't score on a sac fly from second base... You can't score without getting on base first. You're being unreasonable here. Every base counts in a close game like that. Blaming Kahnle there doesn't make sense. The runner likely doesn't score if he's on second. He def doesn't score on a fly ball out. |

Yankees def can take control of this series tomorrow. Dodgers already admitted Game 3 or 4 is a bullpen game so if they can win tomorrow and get to the Dodgers bullpen early it gives them the pitching advantage since they have 4 actual starters and the Dodgers do not.

The post game was in agreement here. Didn't understand the Nestor thing and called the Gleyber + Oswaldo plays extra outs that aren't acceptable in a game that close. One of those three things don't happen and they win. |
