Ohtani is starting tonight. He could practically win this game by himself if he has a big night on the mound and at the plate. He’s on short rest so probably not pitching deep into the game. But he’s a threat with his bat all night long.

Tense yes. Fun? Depends on who you ask

It's been a blast for me. I want the Jays to win but I'n not really invested.
If the Cards were in it I might be losing sleep.

It's up there for me. But the best I can recall would be Braves/Twins in '91. Five one-run games, three went to extras. I was rooting for Atlanta, but I couldn't begrudge the Twins for winning.

I was in college in St. Paul then and the town went NUTS.

Starting is about the only way they could do it. If he relieved and didn't finish the game, he could not go back to DH. They would lose his batting.

Yep. He either had to start or be the closer. If he pitched the bottom of the 9th and they win then losing the DH won’t matter. Starting him seems to be by far the safer choice.

LOL, as a life long Pacer's fan, ask me how fun game 7 was......

Ha! We live in Lafayette...yeah... Pacer's Game Seven... painful...

And if he closes and blows the save, he's out as batter in extra innings.

I'm originally from Decatur county. Have been watch'n Pacers since 76' that I can remember....that game...that series...that whole year...damn

If that dead ball double is hit just 1/2" higher, Jays get a run and have man on second, no out.

What a crazy bottom-of-the-ninth.

 

[buldog5151bass]

Smart play by the center fielder. That ball wasn't really stuck, which is the rule.

Yes... really bad luck. We'll likely never again see a ball land, on the fly, at exactly the junction of the pad and the ground. Like flying a golf shot directly into the cup. Or me nailing each note on a fast bass riff...

 

[SoonerBill]

I love it. Why do you intentionally walk the batter before Bichette and put two runners on base?
3-0 Jays

 

[joeLowB]

Wow, this 4th inning is dicy!

 

[jmlee]

Just three more outs…

[thisheregiraffe]

This game is nuts. Extra innings gonna kill me

 

[GregC]

Dodgers keep barely escaping. Jeez.

 

[thisheregiraffe]

This time it was the Jays turn to narrowly escape! Oof. Just one run guys!!!

 

[skycruiser]

Great game 7! Going to bottom of the 10th

 

[thisheregiraffe]

This is bad
