This ump is total shit so far. I counted 5 missed calls just in that first 1/2 inning.

Cole’s FB looks very straight. Not a great sign. Dodgers are making good contact.

Saw a stat where 56% of the border calls went the way of the Yankees. Things might be equaling out now that MLB got the marquee match up it wanted (no dog in the fight here)

Guys like Judge, Soto, and Rizzo don’t swing at balls. When you confidently take real tough borderline pitches you tend to get the benefit of the doubt from umps so that stat doesn’t surprise me.

This ump has been bad in favor of both teams. So It is what it is, but a strike is a fucking strike.

I thought the RF played that ball wrong. He had no chance and should have just taken it off the wall and kept him at a doubly, especially with only one out.

This is going to be an epic World Series and a great one to watch

Just to let you know. Chip Hale picked the Yankees to win the WS, so you have that going for you which is nice

Yankees should be pissed at themselves. They could have won both games and should be at least 1-1.

The Dodgers are sitting pretty but the shadow of Ohtani’s injury is hanging over them for now.

Roberts sounded optimistic about Ohtani’s injury in the presser but we will see.

Yanks getting to Treinen in the 9th should give them some optimism going into game 3. I actually predict a Yankees blowout in game 3 as they will take out their frustrations on Buehler who has been shaky lately.

This series if far from over, especially with the Dodgers throwing a bullpen game in game 4.

That was a stressful 9th inning last night! Worried about Ohtani, but I guess we'll see. That was an ugly slide at 2nd...how about someone teaching him how to slide head first???

Dude, that’s the last thing you want. A pitcher constantly jamming his hands into a base is a recipe for disaster.

Not the way I thought this series would go. Dodger starting pitching has been awesome.

Better pitching, better hitting and better defense. It’s been that simple for the Dodgers. Still think surviving against the Padres loosened this team up.

Uno mas for the ‘ship. Bullpen game tomorrow night.

Just don’t understand how a guy who is a plus .300 hitter with 120 HR’s over two years hits a buck forty two straight years in the playoffs.

You would think teams would use this pitching strategy when they see him during the season

Going to Kopech in the 4th is an interesting move for the Dodgers. I know there is an off day tomorrow but how many innings are they looking for from one of their premiere relievers here?
