Jays needed 7 games to beat an overall weak lineup and a bunch of overworked starters.

Haha, Cal Raleigh who was the Mighty Casey in this series(sans the strikeout) was looming large in the 9th inning. I would have have loved to see what he could have done...

Congrats to the Blue Jays!

I just know that I'm beyond thrilled that I won't have to hear about the Big Dumper this, and the Big Dumper that during the entirety of the World Series

We all win

Agreed. I hate when really good, humble players break out. I only want to hear about Ohtani and Judge.

Dodgers in 5

[TimBuckTwo]

Mariners left Woo in one inning too many.

I didn't think he should have came back in for the next inning.

Even if he struck out less, it still isn't the best season ever by a catcher. Stop being hung up on homeruns.

And The Red Sox clown chimes in. Why don't you call Big Sloppi up and tell him to tone down the antics on the pre and post game show. He's acting like a typical Boston clown.

And no, only the fake MVP wannabe's they throw at him to de-throne him. I had no issues when Ohtani won MVP over Judge as Judge wasn't the best player at the time.

My son was ecstatic. He woke us up wanting the Bo Bichette World Series jersey.

Wanted the Mariners to win, but they woulda had no shot against the Dodgers. Too many K's - JRod refused to take the walk.
Toronto might at least make it interesting.
Dodgers 4-2

Congrats to Toronto. Not quiet as iconic or historical, but made me remember where I was when Joe Carter walked off Mitch Williams to win the WS. Hope it’s a good WS

There is a reason you want the solid vets with playoff experience. Springer has come up big this series. He is clutch. Oops, I just pissed off the WAR crowd.

Did you tell him about how you stayed up all night arguing with people on a message board about Cal Raleigh?

Will be interesting how the HOF treats the cheating scandal. I believe last night would’ve punched his ticket without it.

Nah, I love Springer. Actually rooted for the Astros. Springer is clearly in the hall of very good. He has had a great career, but well short of HOF level. 45 war, 1500 hits, 300 Hrs, 800 RBIs is fantastic just not enough for HOF.

Well when you add in the fact the Hall is letting in plenty of players with <45 WAR and I would bet none have the postseason track record he does.

For the record I don’t think he gets in.

Springer was worth 5.2 fWAR this season. He was really good. You want really good players playing in big games. Solid vets that stink are great to have on your bench I guess!

What a game last night! Congrats to the Jays

They can soothe themselves with Springer's post-season WAR, which must be solid. He's played nearly a half a season of playoff games (78) and would have almost 50 homers and about 100 RBI projected over a full season's worth. And for good measure (as Vin Scully might say), he's homered in the last 4 (and 5 out of 7) World Series series games that he played against the Dodgers. Let's see if these new LA pitchers have something different for him.
