2025 World Series Game 4 Thread: Oct 28 vs. Blue Jays, 5p

Shohei Ohtani vs. Shane Bieber.

How do you reward a guy who just hit two home runs and four extra base hits, and reached base a record nine times in a marathon World Series Game 3?

Send him to the mound to start the next game 17 hours later, of course!

I don't know how Shohei Ohtani is possibly going to do this, but he's starting Game 4 tonight. I don't know how the bullpen is possibly going to do it, either, after throwing 227 pitches (on top of starter Tyler Glasnow's 85 pitches) to keep the Blue Jays off the board for 13.1 innings yesterday.

All I know is, the Dodgers offense simply has to step up more than what it has to date this World Series. No more stupid infield fly outs, or swinging at the first pitches of an at bat. And remember, a lot of the Blue Jays starters left Game 3 early to go relax and recover, unlike many of our starters.

Game 4 is a must-win if we want to stop this series from returning to Toronto. Let's take care of business, bats!

LET'S GO, DODGERS!

Kiké with a great catch over the side wall for the first out!

Walk and an infield single. Traffic for Ohtani to deal with.

Ohtani escapes. And gets ready to lead off.
