Here we go, another complete game by Yamamoto on Sat, 1 ER, LAD wins 5-1, Series tied 1-1. Will he be back for Game 6 or 7?

Yup.

Crap. Here's the plan - BJ win in 5.

They still have to face Ohtani.

That would be on 5 days rest. It is logical he would be ready.

I didn't say that it's a good plan.


I'm often surprised and impressed by the detail of baseball stats. One of tonight's pitchers has not allowed a HR in his last 575 curve balls.

Baseball, besides being a game of failure is also the reigning champion of trivial trivia.

Someday: Linking performance to athlete's foot outbreak.

They still have to face Ohtani.

Leadoff ground rule double, maybe on the first pitch. Opps.
Stranded, phew.

EDIT: Another one: "Tyler Glasnow is the best two strike pitcher in baseball."

7 hits in his last 7 ABs at Dodger Stadium, all for extra bases. Mr October joined by Samurai Ohtani.


Just walk him!

[GoCubsGo]

Just walk him!

Terrible send with Guerrero on deck.

[GoCubsGo]

What an effing game!

Kershaw!

Weakest non-bunt basehit ever, bases loaded!

EDIT: Darn

EDIT: Top 13, they're playing Madonna's Like a Prayer.

EDIT: Top 14, tied for 2nd longest in WS history. Good thing I don't have a job.

Middle 18, tied for longest WS game ever. 6 3/4 hours since start. Goodnight. Go BJ.

Aaaaaand one swing of the bat later.

You knew that's how it would end.

I was watching with one eye open, well past this is exciting.

Two swings, but still first batter. I did KNOW, BJ lost their lucky talisman. Game over before I fell asleep.
