They can. And whatever scrub pitcher they trot out, we'll knock his bitch ass around.

Yamamoto is gonna pitch at least an inning tomorrow btw

I guarantee it

Not a chance they go to Sasaki in a lead again, they missed their chance there

We were the better team. Just unlucky.

Very very unlucky in the end.

But head up. We’re the better team and I have zero doubt that we’ll win tomorrow.

I had Jays in 7 before the series. Tomorrow we celebrate.
Rest up boys.

Tomorrow is the night.

Irony that they lost the game due to runs that came because of IBB’ing Shohei. I guess that wasn’t the definitive solution to the Shohei problem after all, who would have thought

Any comments about whether or not your hero Varsho should still be hitting 5th, after looking like an amateur at the plate swinging at balls out of the Strike Zone all night, and contributing nothing with men on base?

If Kirk doesn't call for a 1-2 fastball to struggling Mookie, that inning ends with 1 run. Walking him was the correct call.

Except for the fact that Gausman owns Shohei historically and walking him directly led to the game winning run but sure

lol historic choke job would at least require them to have had the lead at one point. I don't know how you choke away a game you never led in.

GlueJays with a few obvious blunders that could’ve each turned the World Series, unfortunately.

Clement with the terrible at bat there.

Barger,, what can you say.

And if Lukes had not swung at the Kershaw scattershot in Game3, we would’ve already won the whole thing.

100 MPH exit velocity with a .680 xba in the 8th to end the inning, that’s called bad luck yeah

Terrible at bat by Clement. I know he's an aggressive hitter but when you've got a starter into the game outta the bullpen, you gotta give him a chance to let the pressure build up. He committed to swinging before the pitch and it backfired.

And Barger... No **** way man. You cannot get doubled off there. Where was he even going!? He wasn't going to score even if that ball dropped. Springer on deck... Just an unbelievable brain fart and a lack of execution from a team so fundamentally sound all season. Depressing. I'm confident were gonna beat their brains in tomorrow though.

Varsho was more consistent at 6.Cant believe a pro baseball team is being forced to bat someone in a slot that an agent wants.Everybody needs to know about this.

Is that really true about Boras? How can it be, he's under contract, it's the World Series and other guys are playing anywhere that helps. How can we be making decisions at an agent's behest at this time?
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Not just unlucky. We brain farted in the end and also couldn't cash in RISP. Sure we got hits, but you could see the pressure getting to the batters when they were counted on to bring in the runners in a WS clinching game. Not great signs imo.

Hopefully we can attack Ohtani early on his 3-days "rest" start.

Just have to flush this one. Our pitchers will at least be fresher for game 7.

Come on, it was a joke.

Jeez! Varsho can’t do anything wrong in your eyes, can he? You’re **** clutching at exit velocity of a hit straight at the fielder?

I didnt like our chances going into this game. I can't for the life of me, understand why the dodgers took Yamamoto out. I thought it was hopeless until they took him out.

We know now that the Dodgers are starting Ohtani and probably using Snell in relief. My best guess is that Jays use Scherzer with a short leash. Beiber if he doesnt get to 4th inning. Yesavage if neither of them get to the 6th.

Lodge ball isn't that big a deal. It was gonna be a double anyways. Straw may have scored depending on how long it took him to run all out.....but it wouldve been crazy to send him if there was ANY question.

If the ball simply bounced off the wall it was still gonna be tying run on second. Feel bad for Barger's mistake but he's built up enough goodwill for that. Only pathetic fans would rub it in on him. Noone knew who he was 9 months ago.

Awesome game. Awesome season.

I really want max to pitch the first round of the dodger batting lineup. We don't want to upset the baseball gods. Give him a chance for the stroybook peformance with the understanding that he's out of the game at the slightest falter.

I don't agree with this at all. Most of these guys have never been there before and even if they are better you gotta learn how to win in those big moments. It reminds me of the Raptors Championship series vs the Warriors, with Durant out they were clearly the better team and i would even say that it should have ended in 4 or 5 at the very least. They beat themselves especially in that game 5 but they came back on the road and won it all. At the end of the day all of this "we're better" doesn't matter, just win.

Inexcusable mistake by Barger there. No reason to be that far off 2B with 1 out.

Game 7 is scary. The Dodgers won't use a single reliever. It will be Ohtani, Snell, Sasaki, and maybe Glasnow as well. The Jays have a 41 year old Scherzer.

Lol. Always bad luck with your hero who has sucked consistently as a Number 5 Hitter. What about the other innings, and other at bats during the World Series when he is swinging at balls out of the Strike Zone like an amateur and contributing Zero? Nothing against your hero and man crush. Just move him down to 8th, and we have no problems.
