This is the ohtani injury Left shoulder subluxation refers to a partial dislocation of the shoulder joint12. It occurs when the ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) partly comes out of the glenoid socket in the shoulder. Causes of shoulder subluxation include3: Weakness of the rotator cuff Looseness of the glenohumeral ligaments Muscle stiffness Slumped posture caused by weak back muscles Timetable uncertain Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ouch...you just made me remember the time Jeter dislocated his shoulder sliding into third base...against...was it the Blue Jays? He was out for what like half the season, or was it longer? |

like donnie, decided to watch the game without my laptop. traded it for my guitar. 3 hrs of shedding. productive way to channel my nervous energy ...
anyway, a few random thoughts ...
the dodger lineup is very deep. really no soft spots. most everyone has a good approach unlike our lineup. most of them are hot. they don't need to rely on 3 guys like we do. even if the dodger's big 3 don't hit, you still have teoscar, kike, edman, munci and others to pick up the slack.
despite that, overall our pitchers have done a good job. last nite it was one pitch. tonite rodon had the blowup inning. we got 4.2 shutdown innings from the pen. hill showed he probably shoulda got the call last nite with a solid 1.1. bounce back for holmes in his stint.
one hit through 8 innings. judge's problems have been beaten to death. we've seen him have extended slumps before. trying to do much. just take what the pitcher is giving him. as jeter said, one AB can turn it around for him. soto continues to be superman. thought stanton's hit nearly ripped the base out of the ground. good AB by jazz against treinen. we've now gotten to him in both games. rizzo took two for the team. volpe back to his evil ways baby.
though i don't see them changing anything, thinking maybe trevino deserves a start even though buehler's a righty. trevy's splits are actually better against RHers. wells is now 4-41 in the PS and that's after a september where he hit .111.
clearly monday is "must win". if we win, the complexion of the series changes with the dodgers throwing a BP game in game 4. tonite wouldn't be so bad if we won the game that we had "won" not once but twice last nite.

The one thing I will say.. this doesn't feel like Houston or Arizona where it feels impossible to win at those places. They gotta just take this one game at a time win Monday go from there. |

judge had a standup interview. said he's trying to do too much. that he needs take what the pitcher gives him. Obviously... Also easier said than done. It's interesting because Judgie has been in high pressure situations before... on this stage he's looking to do too much. I would be happy to see him take some walks. |

Unfortunately, bad at bats seem to be endemic to a not insignificant portion oof his roster. Too many low baseball-IQ at bats. Question is, is it so ingrained in these guys that there's no shaking it, or i s there a lack of coaching/instruction going on? I know coaching isn't as important in baseball as it is in a sport like football or basketball because baseball is largely a 1v1 sport, but it isn't a non factor. I can't come close to counting how many times this season I've just shook my head and something plum dumb these guys have done with the bat in their hands, in the field, or on the base paths. They make mistakes that coaches try to break kids of in little league or high school ball. Over and over again. In my opinion, yes, there is a lack of coaching. Otherwise, the same mistakes would not continue to be made year after year. You can teach Little League and high school teams to play clean baseball. Certainly, the best players in the world are capable of doing the same. If, and I say that reservedly, if a manager wishes to focus on the little things. I highly doubt there is a lack of coaching. I saw a clip of Meredith's interview with Gleyber. She asked what they need to do to win games. His answer was "change our approach". She asked specifically what needed to change. His answer was " win the game". Perhaps there's a language barrier? |

The thing they need to adjust a bit is work pitch counts like they were in the other 2 rounds. Barely anyone in the first 2 rounds on KC or CLE made it to the 6th inning yet both these games the Dodgers pitcher made the 6th inning. That can't happen. Even Judge admitted he was expanding the zone too much. |

Our hitting has been thin for many years since it has never been something cashman sees as important. You are not going to get a lot of walks in the world series. That said we are one bad decision and one bad pitch from being 1-1.
I don't know how we are going to score runs.

I would be happy to see him take some walks. walks would be a great start. he's walked just once in his last 28 AB. that's not judge.
he knows what he means to this team. if we lose this series, pretty sure he'll blame himself. pressure must be enormous.

This is going to be a tough one. The Dodgers are better and they all got hot at the right time. The Yankees are swinging and missing like usual and a few are in just lost at the plate.
The Yankees have kept the games in reach and could have actually won both games but for most of the time the Dodgers held momentum.
This is far from over. We got 3 in the Bronx and if they could just have a few big innings to wake up the bats they could pull this out but I'm not feeling good about it.
We all love Judge. He says and does all the right things but when you are the best you need to do it in the big games.
Hoping for a big win and turn it around on Monday.

His answer was " win the game". Perhaps there's a language barrier? I think those are great responses! An even better response from Gleyber would've been..."We need to score more runs than the other team." Most of these post-game "interviewers" (including Meredith) ask ridiculous questions... "How did it feel to hit that World Series winning walk off HR?" "What was going thru your head when you came to the plate with the game on the line?" "What were you thinking when you came to the ballpark, knowing you needed to win this game?" |

Judge is and will always be a good dude. He always takes the high road. We would not have sniffed the playoffs without him, and to be the best that this team can be, we need some contribution offensively or at least one per game in a big spot. At present, while an OPS of 1.159 would be wonderful, even an OPS of .750 would have made a huge difference in these two ball games. Just a base hit in the 9th inning of game one probably wins it. You're right, the Yankees don't need Superman Judge, just some produciton. |

I wonder how Ohtani's injury (and whether he plays again this season) will affect the Dodgers for the rest of the series...and longterm, how it will affect not only Ohtani's performance next season and beyond, but also his attempt to pitch in 2025.
