2025 World Series Game 5 Thread: Oct 29 vs. Blue Jays, 5p

Blake Snell vs. Trey Yesavage.

In last night's debacle, the Dodgers looked listless at the plate, possibly exhausted from the 18-inning affair the night before. But it would be too easy to say the Dodgers were just tired, since the Blue Jays also would have been just as tired (save a couple of Blue Jays who were removed for pinch runners early in Game 3).

The fact is, the Blue Jays' lineup--with five players batting .300 or better this postseason--is still coming to hit and get on base. And the Dodgers' lineup has exactly zero players batting .300 or better this postseason.

And that's a problem that one night's lack of sleep can't explain away.

We either get that together tonight, or we are doomed. We've got Blake Snell poised to be outdueled by rookie Trey Yesavage again, just as he was in Game 1.

I'm not feeling it.

LET'S GO, DODGERS!!!

New lineup at least.

But we need Mookie to take over this game like he’s capable of doing.
