2024 World Series Game 2 Thread

Freddie Freeman, ladies and gentlemen.
(And, some beautiful people in the crowd behind him.)

Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Carlos Rodon, 5p.

I have SO MUCH to write in a Post-Game Thread after attending last night's Game 1, an unbelievable extra-inning walkoff grand slam 6-3 victory. But those details will have to wait until later, as I want to keep this momentum rolling with today's Game Thread for World Series Game 2.

The Dodgers have not fared well in Game 2s this postseason. In the 2024 NLDS, the Dodgers followed up their comeback 7-5 Game 1 victory with a clunker of a game, losing 10-2 to San Diego and watching fans melt down by throwing trash on the field during the game.

Then, in the 2024 NLCS, the Dodgers again followed up a 9-0 spanking of the Mets in Game 1 with a pathetic 7-3 loss in Game 2, when Landon Knack got taken to the woodshed in the second inning. Both of those series lost all momentum for Los Angeles, as each series went 1-1.

The Dodgers MUST keep up the pressure on the Yankees today at the Stadium. I will be cheering on this one at home, so I'll be on the Game Thread more actively tonight.

LET'S GO, DODGERS!
