I just was reminded that Don Mattingly has never been to a world series.

So, what's everyone up to tonight?
ISLAND BOY - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:01 PM EDT (#471035) #
Let's Go, Blue Jays! Biggest game in 32 years!

I'm a little worried seeing Vlad entering the stadium wearing an Auston Matthews Leaf's jersey considering the Leaf's record in Game 7's.
AWeb - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:14 PM EDT (#471036) #
Watching as a teenager in the early 90s I was more excited than nervous, now I'm just tense. Go Jays! Bad start...

You hit the nail on the head, AWeb!  Why is my heart racing at age 50?!?  I mean, for non-health reasons, of course. :)
And so much for my dream of a clean 1st inning from Bieber.  And Jesus, the runner jumped on the throw!!!!
BlueJayWay - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:23 PM EDT (#471038) #
Weirdness already
James W - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:24 PM EDT (#471039) #
Easy call. Naylor jumped into the throw.
Michael - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:25 PM EDT (#471040) #
Well hopefully it is like game 3 where after inning 1 Bieber is lights out.

Good that they called the interference, jumping into the throw.
lexomatic - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:26 PM EDT (#471041) #
If they didn't overturn that call, then you have to play the game under protest. The league would look TERRIBLE. My respect for umps is at the level where I didnt think it was a given.
AWeb - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:27 PM EDT (#471042) #
Huh, they actually got that one right. Always wonder if umps sneak a peak at the replays in that situation. Couldn't have been a more obvious attempt to block the throw unless he caught it.
Michael - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:40 PM EDT (#471043) #
Well back and forth but back to 1-1. Offense continues to look good for Jays.
electric carrot - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:44 PM EDT (#471044) #
maybe time to pull the biebs?
uglyone - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:47 PM EDT (#471045) #
I have never loved a bunt so much.
blu-j - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:47 PM EDT (#471046) #
That bunt was a gift -- Thank you very much!
Michael - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:48 PM EDT (#471047) #
Hopefully the assist, K, assist is the momentum change he needs. But I'd certainly think you might want Bassitt or someone warm in a game 7.
Eephus - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:49 PM EDT (#471048) #
Bieber was leaving some pitches way too much over the heart of the plate…. Then he finally gets the slider down in the zone to not even allow a ball hit past him.

This is a lot!
electric carrot - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:51 PM EDT (#471049) #
i'm ready to pull bieber right now. why mess around? he hasn't looked good.
uglyone - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 08:59 PM EDT (#471050) #
Here's where we get to see if the wily vet was setting these guys up for anything next time around.
electric carrot - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 09:02 PM EDT (#471051) #
pull him now schneider.
Marc Hulet - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 09:05 PM EDT (#471052) #
Doubt Bieber's in this game longer than 4 innings...
blu-j - Monday, October 20 2025 @ 09:06 PM EDT (#471053) #
That's a loud out for Naylor after the Rodriguez homer -- How much rope does Bieber get?  I guess a decent bit more, since no one is warming up in the bullpen.
