World Series thread

[duewizard]

America yearned for a Mariners-Brewers October Classic. Oh well.

Go Jays!

[torts]

Go jays!!!  My "other AL" team from growing up thanks to the ignitor!  Vladdy close it out!!!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Rooting for Guerrero and the Jays. Fun team. Whole country behind it. Should be a fun World Series. 

[RobertCrawley]

The Blue Jays have some very good hitters. I'm very interested to see how they stack up against the starting four of LA.

I don't give a rip!

Brewers aren't on this trip!

[Brewin]

I don't think this is going to be all that competitive of a WS. LA might not sweep, but I think it's five games max. I truly believe both the Phillies and Brewers were better than anyone in the AL this year, and the Dodgers had minimal issues taking care of them.

Chargers up 14 - zip

I luv the Bolts !!

Jays in 6

Baseball is too random of a game for things to be this simple. It could happen, but so could a sweep the other way.

???

This is about 4 steps removed from being on topic. 

[BruisedCrew]

I said in another thread that I think the series will be much more competitive than the NLCS.

I expect the Blue Jays offense to put a lot more pressure on the Dodgers starters and to get some chances to take advantage of the Dodgers bullpen. I doubt if they will hold the Dodgers to 15 runs in 4 games but their pitching is good enough to keep the Dodgers from running wild. 
 

I predict Dodgers in 6 but won’t be shocked if the Jays win.

Personally I dislike the Dodgers as much as the Cubs, and I dispise the Cubs so Go BlueJays, it's your year.  Plus, I just realized Trey Yesavage kind of looks a lot like Chad Patrick. LOL 😁

I do agree that the NL was the superior league.

My concern, if I'm a Dodgers fan, is that getting basically perfect pitching for another series is probably unlikely, especially against this offense. So, how does the team react if they go down 2-1? 

That Phillies series easily could have gone 5 games. It probably should have. I'd be very surprised if this series isn't at Rogers Centre for a Game 6.

Tell Dani that the Blue Jays are big-market fat boys AND the Brewers won the series in Toronto this season!

I chuckled that your nightmare scenario imagines the Dodgers giving up TWO runs in a game. Is that a reaction to the Dodgers' pitching or the Brewers' offense?

I think he's saying 2 games to 1.

I did and she said who's playing tonight on FOX?  Blue Jays not as fat as the Dodgers and Blue Jays are the only MLB team in Canada. The country's entire television market is considered for all their broadcasts. Yes, the country of Canada is bigger than any US city or state. 

[Turning2]

I may catch an inning or two, but generally, I really couldn't care less. Baseball is a sham competition once the small market teams are duly eliminated. Best thing might be total domination by the Dodgers to show just how silly the unlevel playing field truly is. I would rather watch Brewers prospects in the AZ Fall League if I had access to it.

Tell Dani that if the Blue Jays were in the NL, they would NOT be in the World Series!

[torts]

Yesavage started off in A ball this year and is now opening the world series

[torts]

I mean, has any pitcher ever had a jump like this kid?!

[owbc]

Starting pitching highly favors the Dodgers.

Offense slightly favors the Blue Jays, especially bottom of the order. Star power is probably a wash. 

Both bullpens stink. 

Dodgers in 6

A FaDuel betting ad to start the game.

As much as I want the Jays to win, I think it'll be a short LA win, 4 or 5
