Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Kevin Gausman.
Well, last night was pretty much a beatdown. Dodgers starter Blake Snell didn't have anywhere near the stuff he's had for this postseason; the Banda brothers in the bullpen kept serving up meatballs, and the offense missed plenty of chances to put this away early, thanks in part to untimely early-count swinging that got Toronto's pen off the hook multiple times.
And Andy Pages is batting .077 this postseason, adding two Ks last night in an 0-for-4 contribution.
All the pundits said our NLDS vs. Philadelphia was the toughest matchup of the postseason. So was the 2024 NLDS against the Padres--the difference being that we had to claw our way past the Mets as well in the 2024 NLCS, whereas we breezed past the Brewers this year.
So Game 1 was a good reminder that this 2025 World Series isn't going to be easy--just like last year.
Let's sack up and steal one on the road tonight, Yoshi!
LET'S GO, DODGERS!
