Game #1 is in the books! Jays win 
The lineup just doesn’t quit. Tough day at the ballpark for the Dodgers’ pitchers.
Ohtani’s home run was impressive but fortunately not impactful to the outcome of the game.

Those three were from the X-Files.
Come to think of it, they'd actually be better at finding Ohtani if something happened to him than doing something to Ohtani.

The look on Snell's face the rest of the 6th was total devastation.
Hope today is similar.
He looked tired-like he hadn't slept-all the way through his appearance.

I reckon the Dodgers have now realized that they are in for a series! The looks on some of their players faces said it all!

Ps... I thought the opening ceremonies were awesome!

I got a kick out of the opening paragraphs of Bill Plaschke’s column in the LA Times.
The Dodgers are the favourite to win but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy

Gausman cracks first. Missed his spots on those HR balls 
Oh well, hope the bullpen keeps it close and the batters can get to Yamamoto somehow. This team has a knack for comeback wins.

Things got out of hand rather quickly for Varland…

The road win swings home field advantage to the Dodgers. The Blue Jays need to go win a couple in LA to turn the tables again. They did it in Seattle, they can do it in LA too! Pitching match ups will favour LA, so it’ll be a big challenge. The Blue Jays’ bats will figure it out. Assuming the Jays can push it to 6 or 7 games, they’ll also have to figure out a new game plan against Yamamoto. I think he would be in like to pitch Game #6. I don’t think they’d start him in Game #5 on short rest..? 
That guy has so many quality pitches. He was excellent last night.

Wow, Yamamoto was on fire last night. When was the last a pitcher pitched a full nine innings in a WS game? I can't recall seeing that before.

They went to Seattle down 0-2 and still pulled it out. They’ve got it in them, and perhaps more importantly they KNOW they’ve got it in them. Go Jays Go!
They touched Yamamoto up a bit, and had some pretty loud outs, just couldn’t take advantage of opportunities. Like that dropped pop-up, woof.
