No team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit to win a WS. So we're due, right? 6-3 Yanks tonight. I don't even think a team has made it to a game 6 once down 0-3. Nope, never happened. Out of 24 times a team has been up 3-0 in the World Series, 21 ended with a sweep. Three times a team has forced a Game 5, most recently 1970 when the Reds did so against Baltimore, but never has a team down 3-0 forced even a Game 6.

I can see not coming back to win it, but never even won the next 2? Wow.

I guess when a team is down at this level the other team keeps them down.

Warmups completed. Ohtani steps into the box. Game underway... Fb about 4-5 inches high in the middle, he chases and fouls it back, 0-1.

Flies open, misses up and away, 1-1 Change tails outside, 2-1 Slider above and outside middle, swung on and missed, 2-2. Bad sign, everything up early. Takes his timeout. Fb up and in makes Ohtani duck, 3-2 Hanging slider popped behind 2nd, Volpe goes back, catches, 1 down. Got away with that, Luis.

Gameday is down. Gil quickly ahead on Betts, 0-2. FB up and in at 99, fouled back. Slider outside, easy take, 1-2 Change down the middle, inside outed down the middle, bounced down the first base line, into the RF corner, a 1 out double.

Freeman takes a FB on the outside corner at 98. Gil throwing harder, doesn't have his slider or change yet. 0-1 Change tails outside, 1-1 Change drops below the knees in the middle, 2-1 Waist high slider, this time near the outside corner, lined down the line into the Porch in right, 2 run HR makes it 2-0, Dodgers, as the band on deck strikes up "Nearer My God To Thee".

Teoscar gets a FB up in the zone, pops it foul out of play, 0-1 Slider below middle, tapped down 3rd, Gil gets over, fields and throws too quickly, offline to the RF side, pulls Rizzo off the bag. Scored an infield hit.

Seriously this isn't the first time the Yankees have let the same guy beat them over and over again, but it's usually in the regular season.
