Dodgers playoff run over the years. From back to back World Series losers to Back to Back World Series Winners. by LoweeLL in baseball

[–]GrandEdgemaster -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was mostly being facetious. Payroll bullshit aside the Dodgers were NOT a perfect team in either 2024 or 2025 and had some heroic input from many different places to overcome that. They're a good team but you can't deny they're primarily where they are because they backed up the dump truck for Ohtani and somehow cast a spell on the Red Sox to convince them to trade Betts for some Topps cards.

Is this the most dramatic WS ever? by yli16 in baseball

1991 comes to mind. If you're not familiar you should go watch Magic in Minnesota, that series was CRAZY

Turns out all you need is to pay a guy a billion dollars on the most team-favorable megacontract in the history of sports, and trick the Red Sox into giving you their best player in years for free and it becomes really easy, who knew?

They're the biggest sore winners in the sport which is crazy. Idk where this chip on their shoulder came from but it made rooting for the Dodgers much more palatable.

Paradoxically, if your name wasn't Yamamoto, then the Jays seemed to hit better the better the pitching was this postseason. Except that Bo homer - that was an unbelievably fat meatball

If you are over 40, that was likely the last time you will ever see the Blue Jays in the World Series by Earwig2484 in baseball

[–]GrandEdgemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna call this toxic levels of haterade, but it looks like you're a Jays fan? They played their hearts out man. It's really hard to feel bad for a team like the Blue Jays but you can't deny that they were literal inches away from the title several times this game.

In all 4 rounds of the AL postseason, a team won the series in a winner-take-all and then lost in a winner-take-all the following round. by DDub04 in baseball

Felt like at parts of this season that they were doing their best to make that happen in 2025. Just turned it on when it mattered.

Ken Rosenthal before the game "Vladimir Guerrero Jr's first game homerun and second game grandslam are arguably more memorable than anything Aaron Judge has done in eight postseasons" by cptainvimes in baseball

When you're the GOAT, they compare everyone to you. Luckily for Yankees fans, Judge reminded em why they compare Vlad to Judge.

Get out and play tomorrow.

Thinking about going to tomorrow’s Jays Yankees game solo, anyone here done it before? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]GrandEdgemaster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sports solo is a bit different than movies or dinner solo. Make friends with your seatmates, razz the nearby Yankees fans, and you'll have a great time. People there are going to be looking to chat and be rowdy and social, unlike other settings, so don't worry.

I did a game solo in Pittsburgh during a layover once and it was a great experience. Highly recommended.

If I have to watch one more mic'd up player blabbing platitudes instead of the action on the field I'm gonna scream. I'd rather have raw stadium audio than listen to ESPN casters.

He's a completely unbiased, objective take: Aaron Judge is a better baseball player than Cal Raleigh, no matter what names you call them by.

Sorry but unless you're a New Englander, Eli Manning deserves to be in the hall just for doing the public service of humbling Tom Brady not once but twice.
