Hot damn!

As a neutral that was a great game. Also. Fuck the Yankees get fucked

Does Dave Roberts know it’s 2024. Why are you bunting

C’mon, man. Freeman’s grand slam was glorious, but it’s not even in the same universe as Gibson’s HR.

I also missed Gibson’s HR, because I had fallen asleep in the 8th inning.

The only reason Gibson’s homer might remain more legendary is because baseball was everything back then and it’s the 2nd or 3rd biggest sport in the US now.

But if the Dodgers win the WS (that’s important), this will be talked about forever just like Gibson’s.

It’s the first walk off grand slam in history of the World Series. It’s already bigger than Gibson HR

Oof-dah

0.4 run edge is massive?

Actually watched the Gibson homer game–it’s one of my particularly distinct sports memories. Haven’t really followed baseball for 25 years, but more than happy to see the Dodgers come through with a dramatic win.

All the Royals games had bigger run edges for the Yankees.

But the Royals swung at everything, and our pitchers were wild. Meanwhile the Yankees pitchers were pinpoint, and their hitters whine about called strikes 1" off of dead center.

So NY was always going to get more close calls.

Inject the Suzyn Waldman groan and live shot from Billy’s directly into my veins.

I know Freeman is gimpy, but Gibson couldn’t fucking stand. He looked like he was going to fall over.

He hit his off of Eck, one of the GOATs, and Oakland was a huge favorite.

Thats a must fucking catch foul out. Holy shit Yankees, WIL to the max

Did they bust out the juiced baseballs for this game?

So fun to see a sweep by the fucking Dodgers.

Is the pitch clock suspended for the playoffs? I noticed Fox isnt showing it

No, I was watching the MLB feed last night and they were showing it. I remember that Cousins came damn near a violation multiple times.

If you want violations on FOX, you’ll have to settle for ARod, Big Papi, and The Captain on the postgame shows. Abominable.

Oh shit, Ohtani down.

Dislocated shoulder?
