MFer. Will Smith just slapped the entire country of Canada in the face

[tower912]

Congratulations to the Dodgers.   Earned.

[MuggsyB]

That was the worst way to end the game. 

[SoCalEagle]

Go Dodgers!!!

Champs again!!!

[18thandWells]

Another absolutely fantastic game.

Anytime you can waste an out to bunt over a runner ALREADY in scoring position, ya gotta do it.

Hated that.

Yes.  They had plenty of chances.

$1.1 billion worth of starting pitchers used by the Dodgers tonight.

Uggh..   

[Dish]

There was also no reason to take Bichette out. It didn't make sense at all in the moment in the 9th and came back to bite the Jays in the 11th when his spot came up after Guerrero's double.

I realize he can't run, but IKF got thrown out at the plate anyway.

Goliath beats poverty franchise.

God is dead and we have killed him

Uggh..   

Hit better.

[tower912]

Indeed.  How many runners left on base?

[18thandWells]

Hit better.

This is the correct take.

[tower912]

Yup.  The team that scored the most runs won.

[tower912]

Seriously, though, the Dodgers won that game on defense.  Their billion dollar pitching staff was getting shelled, but Toronto couldn't land the big blow to put them away. 
   LA had three game saving defensive plays.  Muncy with the self defense stab at third.  Rojas righting himself to make the throw home and Smith having the presence of mind to get his toe back down.  And Pages, in the game as a defensive replacement for 30 seconds, covering that much ground, running through Hernandez, and holding on.  Respect.
  How amazing would it have been to have a world series decided by an overturned call?  I cannot see how we will ever cone closer.  And the ump made the right call in the first place.   
  I love baseball.  I love great baseball.  Awesome stuff.

[Uncle Rico]

Pulling for the Dodgers to win 3-5 of these in a row for a true dynasty.  Would be cool to see happen

[PointWarrior]

They probably will...

I think the Phillies beat them next year.

[wadesworld]

I think the Phillies beat them next year.

Depends on the free agent market for relief pitchers. The Dodgers will pay to clean that up, so if there are good relievers that are free agents the Dodgers will be better next year.

Hope so.  It'll be fun watching them go for 3 straight

Not to mention that it was Rojas, the 25th-man on the roster and a relative pauper, whose unlikely 9th-inning HR tied the game.

I was pulling for the Blue Jays, but congrats to the Dodgers. Thirty years from now, we'll be talking about how incredible it is that they've bought 32 straight World Series.

I also b!tched about Schneider's propensity for using too many pinch-runners during the series, but I understood this one. Bichette couldn't run, and the play at the plate was whisker close. The Athletic said that the real problem was that "Kiner-Falefa appeared to take a really small lead. He then slid into home plate rather than running through it." I didn't notice the small lead until I just went back and took a look at it - they're right. He takes even a "regular" lead, and the Blue Jays are champions. For his part, KF said he was listening to the coach, who was worried about KF possibly getting doubled up on a line drive.

The tiny differences between winning and losing.
