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.

Beyond nervous about this game.
I’m right with you, Q7. Not feeling good, but strange things happen in baseball.
You never know.
I'm with Q7 and Saxy.
I'm also super nervous.
Three straight Ks. Clearly, von Scoyoc is useless
Attaboy Slappy!
Mookie coming through! 3-0 Dodgers!
Mookie! Hot damn!
Holy cow. That was critical.
Huge 4-6-3 DP there! Nice job MiggyRo, Mookie, and Freddie!
We need some more runs
3-1 Dodgers after 5. Yoshi still looking good.
I'd also feel better if we had some insurance runs
We haven’t had a baserunner since the third inning.
Wrobo in for the 7th.
Sasaki getting loose in the pen.
I'm too nervous to check the gamecast.
Big K from Wrobo to end the inning!
WOOO!
Wrobo did his best Vesia impression after that strikeout with a big roar.
Time for some more offense! Let’s go bats!
Miggy flies out on one pitch. Ohtani coming up.
Ohtani doubles off the wall!
Another chance for Mookie.
Mookie walks. Bases loaded for Teo.
Teo down on three pitches.
Sasaki coming in for the 8th. Top of the order due up for Toronto.
Teo come on, man.
Sasaki walks Vladdy. Two on, one out.
Foul out! Two down.
Grounder to second! Roki gets out of the jam!
Muncy down swinging.
Kiké swinging at horrible pitches. Two down.
Does Bassitt have a 51 on his cap as well? If that is for Vesia, that is really cool.
Edman grounds out. Bottom of the ninth coming up. Still up 3-1.
Glasnow getting warm and Roki hits the leadoff guy.
Oh no. Kirk reaches.
So nervous.
Double. Second and third nobody out.
Someone hold me!
Glasnow coming in.
This is obviously setting up for Toronto dramatics. Brutal.
And do we really think Glasnow can get out of this?!
First pitch pop up. Nice!
HOLY SHIT!!
Let’s go to game 7!!!
Shallow fly to left, Kiké catches it on the run and doubles off the runner on second! WIN!
I stand corrected.
Fucking A wow
