We made 20 outs in a row (nearly 7 innings worth). You can't really execute small ball against a pitcher when you never get a runner on base.

In the first inning when we threatened (and that was one of the two innings), it was 1st and 3rd with Vlad up. You can't play small ball there.
no one bunted to get to first

this is the WS and this was third time through games most dangerous lineup so pull him.

But that is only if you can trust the pen which Schnieider decided he cannot do so my point was

i agreed with the call to leave him in because of the weakness of our pen

but i did say that so your point is well made
I guess the Dodgers didn't get the memo on third time through the order that night.....

Anyway we are 1 each. Next two games will be the tell

Sweet Michelle must be off the vegetarian diet, she looks healthier than she did at the end of last decade.


Chuck wants no part of going meatless.

How often are bunts used by any team and how often are they successful. Remember Otis Nixons bunt against the jays, how'd that go? The bunt has to be perfect and the runner fast. People that have no clue about baseball always bring up bunt, bunt are only ever successful when moving someone over. Even then they have to be perfect.

Pitching an entire game in WS is extremely rare

agree but when a ace pitcher has his best game time to try something

The threat of bunt keeps fielders drawn in and restricts pitches

Tyler Glasnow's lifetime stats against the Jays are not very good


Tyler Glasnow has a lifetime record of 1-4 with an ERA of 5.82 in 11 regular season appearances against the Toronto Blue Jays. Including the postseason, his record against the Blue Jays is 2-4 with a 5.53 ERA in 12 appearances

need a better actor

could of been the Colonel he just sat there frozen

as you are allowed to bring your own food he should of been handing out greasy fries and crappy cold slaw

The art of this marketing strategy is that he just sat there. Allows the public to come up with their own stories, their own opinions, gets them thinking and talking. ;)

Brilliant creative by the Agency!

Bieb's must be used to the tough assignment, he goes against Ohtani. It's easy to see what Schneider is doing, Scherzer,s intensity for G3 followed by cool as a cucumber Bieb's for G4.

There doesn't appear to be much hatred between the cities. Rush has sold out all three shows at the LA Forum. Neil Peart lived out his final years in Santa Monica.

If we ended up losing World Series, it is entirely the manager John Schneider's fault. He just said for geme 3 we are gloing to be all hqnds on deck. Is he crazy? For World Series, every game must be all hands on deck. We lost game 2 because he didn't put Bo Bischelle on and we ended up losing. Bo could easity hit a couple of home runs and save grame 2.
