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!!!

I am so nervous. I don't like it.

Steve Sax said...

New lineup at least.

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

Steve Sax said...

QuadSevens said...

Springer not in the lineup for TOR. Might come off the bench though.

spank said...

already? wtf man

QuadSevens said...

Could not have started worse. Wow.

QuadSevens said...

I was wrong.

karen said...

WTF BLAKE?

Steve Sax said...

Why do all the Blakes on our team suck so bad

QuadSevens said...

Smith catches one stealing. Toronto challenging again. Second in the inning.

QuadSevens said...

Hopefully those challenges piss off Snell and he pitches better.

QuadSevens said...

We need Casey Blake to visit the clubhouse and shake up the Blakes.

spank said...

big difference with mookie batting third i see. smh

Steve Sax said...

We are toast. Fuck this.

Three-pitch K to Mookie? Come on.

QuadSevens said...

Snell muttering to himself as he walks off the field. 6.2 and two runners on as Vlady comes up.

QuadSevens said...

Holy shit!

Steve Sax said...

Henriquez in and the wheels promptly fall off the wagon.

QuadSevens said...

Barger walked and scored on three wild pitches.

MR.F said...

Okay, I'm kind of glad I'm not paying attention to the game.

spank said...

QuadSevens said...

We’re playing like the Yankees did last year. Horrible on defense.

QuadSevens said...

Another wild pitch, another run in.

spank said...
