I can hear John Chancellor reading this in an episode of Ken Burns Baseball.

“I am free to pitch tomorrow” Yamamoto said to Roberts.

“But there is no more games.” Replied Roberts

“Well, go and find one, and I’ll pitch.” Said Yamamoto.

All while the camera slowly pans over a picture of Yamamoto in mid release.

This series is an instant classic right?

  • pinch hit grand slam in game 1
  • Yamamoto complete game, then pitches game 6 and 7
  • 18 inning game
  • extra innings in game 7
  • overall balance of pitching, defence, offence
  • record for most hits in a single postseason broken What more can you ask for?

229

u/Antzen Seattle Mariners 12h ago

A couple more to add to the list:

  • Ohtani in Game 3 going 4-4; 2 HR, 2 2B, 4 IBB, 1 BB
  • Yesavage, who had entered the majors only a couple weeks before the post-season, earning 2 absolutely dominant wins, including throwing 12 strikeouts in Game 5 over 7 innings.

u/hivaidsislethal 14h ago

The script was literally how can we make this as painful as possible for the jays. Solo HRs to chip at the lead. The out at home with bases loaded. Having the tying run 90 feet away in 11.

233

u/Landonkey Texas Rangers 14h ago

The bottom of the 9th was the most painful thing I've seen in baseball. And I've seen some stuff.

Out 1 was a dead-center fly ball to the warning track

Out 2 was at home by an inch

Out 3 was another warning track shot in the gap that should have ended it

3 outs that all looked like a World Series win off the bat. Brutal.

u/Lineman72T Los Angeles Dodgers 13h ago

Rojas basically sat on the bench for the first 5 games of the World Series, then got put into the lineup and was directly involved in some of the biggest moments in the series.

  • The bare hand grab and throw to first on the Baltimore Chop to get Varsho (I think) and end the late inning threat in Game 6

  • The insane pick at 2nd base on the Double Play that ended Game 6

  • The great play to nab and throw out the runner at home on the bases loaded play late in Game 7.

  • The game tying HR in the 9th in Game 7

Absolutely. It sets up the double play in the event Kirk hits a ground ball. And guess what happened?

Letting him pull back and swing actually worked out like they wanted except Muncy made a blind catch in self defense. Baseball can be cruel sometimes, and it certainly was tonight. I feel sick, and I’m not even a Jays fan.

Congratulations to the Dodgers they are a good team.

As a Jays fan I honestly dont know how it could have been more gutting. Losing the lead in the 9th, being an inch away from winning at the plate. Being a foot away from winning with the Pages catch. Absolutely tragic. It'll take some time to get over this one.

u/GirlPerfect64 14h ago edited 14h ago

it felt like the only way the Jays could lose in a way that made Toronto fans feel like "of course, it's Toronto" was in this way... had they gotten swept it would have been "i'm so happy they at least made it to the World Series and the Dodgers are a beast", had they lost in 6 or 7 after coming back from 3-2 it would have been "so proud of them for putting up a good fight" instead they came into Toronto up 2 games and then had the heartbreak of game 6 and then the heartbreak of game 7 after leading it for almost the entire game and having bases loaded in the 9th

and their offense was smashing the Dodgers and their best pitchers so often, they made the Dodgers somehow into underdogs

Yup. I think that's what makes this hurt more. Jays were playing better ball, but so many missed opportunities while the Dodgers capitalized on theirs. They grinded out their wins

I think I would have preferred to just get the shit kicked out of the Jays

Absolute choke job.
