In World Series Thread - 2024

[Frayed Knot]

Ohtani expected to be in the lineup for Game 3 Monday night following a Sublaxation (partial dislocation) of his left shoulder while caught stealing.
btw, he was successful in 59 of 63 SB attempts during the season.

[The Hot Corner]

I am not surprised that Ohtani will be back in the line up. Once I heard the diagnosis of a partial seperation of the shoulder, I expected he would be able to continue as the Dodgers DH. I don't expect the injury to affect his swing. Lucky for Ohtani and the Dodgers the injury was not to his throwing arm.

As a junior in high school, I slid into second base to break up a double play and partially seperated my right shoulder & tore the rotator cuff. I couldn't lift my arm above my shoulder without pain for 2 weeks, but I could swing a bat fine. I shifted from 3rd base to DH for 2 weeks, then moved to second base for the remainder of the season where I could make shorter, side-armed throws.

[Centerfield]

Let’s hope he’s healthy enough to finish the job.

Then hurts his knee celebrating the WS title costing him all of next year. And the five years after.

[The Hot Corner]

I expect he will be okay.

I can't in good conscience, wish for an injury to Ohtani (or anyone else).

I would love to see the MFYs get swept out this week, today and tomorrow. Let the Bronx rabble choke on their $2000 tickets and replica Yankee jerseys with player names on the back.

[metirish]

Getting swept would be incredible

[Cowtipper]

There's a World Series going on?

I hope they both lose.

[Centerfield]

Walker Buehler vs. Clark Schmidt

ESPN says Yankees 60.7% chance to win.

[MFS62]

I'm sure he'll play. Any decent power hitter would pull the I.V. out of his arm and roll off the gurney to play in that bandbox.
Later

[Frayed Knot]

I'm liking the results so far (although one more hit would have really broken it open) but, at this pace (1:15 for 2-1/2 innings) I'm not going to make it through 9

[Frayed Knot]

The Dodgers have to quit walking Gleyber Torres (3x in 2+ games so far).
Given his spot in the lineup, it's not the kind of thing you can get away with forever.

[Frayed Knot]

He might have slipped the hand underneath but I don't overturn this call.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Hey everyone I am at this game

[metirish]

Hey everyone I am at this game

Bs call at the plate

[Centerfield]

Why would you bunt there.

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Aaron, you gonna walk Betts here?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Stanton is so slow

[metirish]

Stanton is so slow

I actually thought he would have been thrown out lumbering into second base

[Frayed Knot]

He's slow, he got a bad jump, and he didn't cut 3rd base well.

[whippoorwill]

Stanton is so slow

That’s what I kept yelling.
Btw if the Yankees win my husband wins $300

[Frayed Knot]

Lux almost looked hisself into being thrown out at the plate there.
He looked over his shoulder at least three times on his way home.

[metirish]

Haha

[Frayed Knot]

Really, Banda? You're gonna walk your first hitter on four pitches?!?!?

oe: and he gets lucky on a generous strike three call to end the 7th inning.

[Fman99]

Los Angeles one win away from an epic thumping.

[metirish]

My MFY loving friend at work is laying some blame on the umps 😆
