Written by a millennial, for sure. Not one mention of Mookie Wilson, a protagonist one of the most dramatic and famous plays in WS history!

I would have let Buehler at least start the 7th. Dude was dealing. If Dodgers take care of business they won't need him again. Save the pen.

Day 3 of me watching Joe Buck call a game for 7 straight days!

Joe Buck is the best!!!!

---

I like the new, more sarcastic Joe Buck.

---

He's been like this for a while now. He's a far cry from the "Randy Moss" Joe Buck.

---

Definitely. The switch seemed to flip 6 or 7 years ago. Glad he's loosened up.

---

He magically got better after he lost Tim McCarver. Imagine that?

---

More like he got better after doing Brockmire

That was excellent.

Baez and Jansen are my favorite Dodgers.

What happened with the Brett Phillips AB was wonderfully insane. Gotta love it!

Yeah Baby!!

Roberts pulled Urias too soon and when he went to Jansen in the 9th I said out loud:

"That guy should not even be in there!"

I was pretty sure he was going to serve up a HR to send the game into extra innings.

What happened was worse.

BTW, I am pretty sure that out call on Muncy at 2nd was bogus. The fielder dragged him down and off the bag.

That was amazing.

Leaning on Jansen at this point is idiotic. I love it.

It's fine, all they need is for Kershaw to come through tomorrow. What could go wrong?

Dodger fans might want to send Kershaw some tainted pizza.

I'm also baffled that Baez stayed in the game after giving up a three-run jack to give the Rays the lead, only to give up another long ball to let them tie it again in the next inning.

I'm not COMPLAINING, of course (I love Baez!), but it's a strange decision. Normally when a reliever does that he's out of there at the first opportunity.

This is make or break for Kershaw.

I said earlier that the Dodgers would have won a WS by now if not for Kershaw and Jansen. Jansen did not come through. Four blown WS saves and it is actually worse than that because he has also been instrumental in losing games that were not save situations or in giving up leads in games the Dodgers eventually managed to win.

Time for Kershaw to do it or be relegated to the dust bin of also-rans.

The dodgers all have the look: "we're ****ing this up again, aren't we".

Win or lose this game, Kershaw doesn't have good stuff and this isn't the performance he needed to have.

Edit: At least he didn't get shelled.

Perfectly fine, though he also got a bit lucky that the other starter also didn't have it.

Worked out ok. He helped himself with that throw to the plate to get the runner. Staked to a 3-0 lead he should've cruised.

One more game to go.

Roberts did three things right Tonight.
He pulled Kershaw after 5 2/3 rds
He did not put Baez in
He used Treinem as the closer instead of Jansen.

This brings to mind what it looked like when the protestors knocked the fence down around People's Park in '69. As Arlo Guthrie would say, "Those Dodgers are a Lotta freaks!"

"By the numbers: Kershaw is 4-1 with a 2.93 ERA in 30.2 innings this postseason, striking out 37 batters and walking just five. He also set the record for postseason strikeouts (207), breaking Justin Verlander's previous mark." Axios

*Justin Verlander has the most losses in WS history without a win (0-6). Whitey Ford had 8 WS losses....but 10 wins.

Verlander has to seek solace crying on Kate Upton on their pile of cash (combined Net Worth $115 million)

Here comes Baez to face the top of the order... smh

Hah, Roberts got him out of there quick. Perhaps he's learning!

Wow. Snell was pulled pretty quickly! Probably not a bad decision given the analytics but I can see why he'd be upset.

If the Rays go on to lose this that will be the thing they regret.

Still can't believe Boston just let Mookie Betts go like that.

F the Dodgers

Well, it finally happened. Congrats to the LA fans. This team was loaded.

Now Goff has to win the SB for the City of Angels Triple Crown.

Congrats on winning the Fake WS......
