yes, this must be why Schneider was always putting France over Vladdy during late innings of each World Series game… for the defensive upside 👀

ah, so it wasn’t just me who thought this. I wonder if MLB would ever look at putting their best umps into the biggest spotlight just like the players?

Umpire Auditor @umpireauditor.bsky.social · 1d

Umpire Jordan Baker (ranked 64th of 92 umpires) missed 17 calls in the game 7 of the World Series.

His correct call rate was below league average.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

I truly believe we were the best team in baseball this year. I really do. We just couldn't do it. I'm so sad. I love them so much. I'm so proud of them and I also want to barf, so I guess that's sports for ya.

Finally, what kind of pitcher throws 6 innings one day and 2.2 in relief the next? Are we absolutely sure that Yamamoto is human??? Without him, the Jays win this series. #BlueJays 4/4

The baseball had to crank up the Chaos level to 11 to swing the game in the Dodgers favour:
Roja’s homer on a weird swing
IKF force out at HP
Pages/Kiké collision catch

not scoring with chances in the 8, 9, 10, 11th innings are to blame which is why baseball is a team sport #BlueJays 2/

Listen, I’m the self-appointed chairman of the ‘Hate the Hoff’ club for what he does to my heart. But this loss was not his fault. #BlueJays 1/

Waking up feeling grateful for the greatest season in the past 32 years and proud a team that was predicted to finish last, taking the defending champ’s team of billionaires beyond the limits. The Yamamoto Dogers won but they can’t steal our pride and joy in this incredible team #BlueJays

That's the saddest #Bluejays clubhouse I have ever been in. Players more upset about not being able to see each other tomorrow. So many in tears.

I think it’s not the losing the World Series so much as knowing it’s the end of this team. And winning would have been the end of the team too, but you’d have the win to console you.

From The Guardian.
The Blue Jays WERE the better TEAM.
And Yamamoto just might not actually be a mere mortal

Guys. It’s November, and the Blue Jays are still playing baseball in the goddam World Series.
What a season.
What a postseason.
What a series.
What about one more win?
