Skipped a few pages, but Rojas’ play was so sick. 

 

And IKF’s horrific lead certainly didn’t help his team’s chances.

This was a great defensive play, there were a number of great defensive plays, but THE play was the catch made by Dodgers centerfielder running over Hernandez to make that catch basically Keke wasn't going to make that catch and where the centerfielder had to come from and then go over/through Hernandez was just absurd .

The Pages catch never happens without Rojas' first. 

True, but the Pages can in my mind was still the greater play.  

Rojas was a reaction play and a good part of that was the ball was hit right at him. If that ball is a few feet either which way Rojas can't make a throw even if he catches the ball

Page had to cover and incredible amount of distance and not trip over Hermandez who was falling down .

Gee, thanks. He made a sick play that loses the WS if he doesn't. We can play 'If' forever. 

 

I'm glad you liked the Pages catch better, I can rest easy tonight now.

Grudging tip of the cap to the Dodgers.  Well done.  

Yea, for 5x the payroll of the best team  (Brewers) in MLB regular season.

 

So, congrats, I guess.

Give it up on that narrative,  ask the Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Padres how spending wildly works out.

What  a great series.  The thing that really amazed me were the two base running blunders the Jays made by "assuming" a called fourth ball on a full count  and then wandering towards second just to be tagged out. Absolutely no reason to leave early in that situation,  it looked like a little league play.  Then the manager goes and talks to the plate umpire asking that he makes his calls quicker.

balls, strikes....what's the difference?

Where's that chart that shows how much each team spends as a percentage of revenue?

It's not the Dodgers people should be upset with. 

 

No shit. Miami says hello, and several others.

All the talk about stringing together rallies abd hitting for contact and smart base running, it was a three solo homers that won it all for the dodgers combined with shittadtic blue Jay base running.

That guy will never, ever have to buy dinner in Los Angeles or the entire country of Japan for the rest of his life. I am not certain that the majority of baseball fans understand just how big the sport is in Japan. Every single group of Japanese people I meet here are Dodger fans. I mentioned it a few days ago, but that franchise has an entire nation following it. I am happy for Yamamoto getting the Series MVP. His comments through his interpreter are pretty much what I would expect to hear a Japanese player say. They're just wired differently, but in a good way. Good on the Dodgers for pulling out a most improbable victory when they were dead to rights. I'd also wager that Rojas and Smith won't be paying for anything in LA either after tonight's clutch homers.

I'm sure there are others, but two good reads about Japanese baseball and their love of the game that I have found and read are "You've Gotta Have Wa" by Robert Whiting and Warren Cromartie's "Slugging it Out in Japan". Cromartie was the first and most prominent player to play in Japan while still in his prime at 30 yrs old. The legendary Sadahuru Oh was his manager while playing for the Yomiuri (Tokyo) Giants.

Keke wasn't going to make that catch

Why not?  He was right there waiting for it before he got Kelly Leak'd.

If I ever make it over to Japan a baseball game there would be 2nd on the list. 

I saw a game at the Tokyo Dome between the Yomiuri Giants and the Nippon Ham Fighters.  Top 10 baseball experience for me.

I was thinking, Miggy's HR has to rank up right near the top of the all time Dodger HR list. Freddie's GS last year was game one. We lose that we may still win the series. Even Gibby's was game 1. Miggy doesn't hit that out we very likely lose.
