2025 World Series Game 6 Thread: Oct 31 @ Blue Jays, 5p

Dave Roberts tried to introduce basepaths in Thursday's practice, something the team had not experienced for the last two games.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Kevin Gausman.

The Dodgers' 2025 season is poised to end tonight, and even with Blake Snell's crappy start throwing batting practice at the beginning of Game 5, or Teoscar Hernandez' continual misadventures in right field, or failed double play attempts in the infield, it wasn't those mistakes that ultimately derailed the Dodgers' 2025 World Series bid.

It was the hitting. Or lack thereof.

In a particularly awful time for everyone in the starting lineup to get cold, we've got Mookie Betts, Will Smith, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez, Tommy Edman, Max Muncy, and Andy Pages all flailing at the plate. The Game 5 lineup--which thankfully did not include Pages--amassed 15 strikeouts and too many first-pitch infield flies to give the Blue Jays any pressure.

So the Dodgers all got out to Rogers Centre today and took batting practice--which the LAT reported that Roberts took as an exciting positive (whoop dee frickin' doo!)--rather than moping in their hotel rooms, I imagine.

There will be plenty of time for moping if our offense continues to be lost tonight.

Let's frickin' go, Dodgers! Show us a treat, not a trick.
