When I saw this, I immediately knew the game today wasn’t going to be too big for the Dodgers. Dave Roberts is doing his best to keep them loose, and I think it is working. Watch as Doc “attempts” to race Hyeseong Kim around the bases (with a head start):
Little things like this can create bonds and feelings among the people who play this game. The team appears loose, and they know it’s win-or-go-home. They are putting the saddle on Yamamoto, who has delivered this entire postseason… does he have one more great outing left? Does Mookie have something left? Can Freddie, Shohei, Max, and Teo rise to the occasion? This is why they play the game.
It will be disappointing if the Dodgers lose, but it’s still the best time in history to be a Dodger fan. I have a sneaking feeling they are not done… because I still believe in magic!
Listen to this song sometime. I think it is incredible.
Discussion (20)
Disagree, not disagreeable
So when the players perform, the Manager is a ‘genius’.
Roberts genius moves from yesterday:
1. Not sending out a gassed Yamo to try to get 1 or 2 more outs in 7th inning
2. NOT sending out Treinen, Banda or Henriquez to pitch(hopefully they are done for the year)
3. Sending out Sasaki to get last 6 outs.
4. removing Sasaki when it was clear he wasn’t getting it done
5. Not saving Glasnow for a game 7 which might never have come.
6. Having Kike, Rojas, Dean in to make headsup plays.
With all of that we just squeaked by.
Hoping for a great finmish tonite
I can breathe again.
Keekay to Rojas ftw
I gotta admit the Ohtani Rule is kinda lame.
Ohtani, Glasnow and Snell in the 9th. Hopefully the offense explodes for 4 runs tomorrow night.
maybe teo is saving his heroics for game 7!!! doc was manager of the year tonight!!
reasonably decent World Series.
Teoscar didn’t get a single strike and managed to strike out.
Yay
So. Not seeing much change in hitting strategy yet. 2 innings
So hitters are going to have to find a way to put ball in play. I saw where Freddie says we are getting away from running up the pitch counts on SP. Well not so easy when they have guys who can throw strikes. once down 0-1, or 0-2, hard to keep to that plan. This is it. Yamo can’t win the game
First of all, I want to give major kudos to all the folks in the front office, all the folks in scouting , all the coaches and all the players. The two best teams in baseball will fight it out in the last game in 2025. Whether it’s tonight or tomorrow. This is no crapshoot. Both teams are nails. Just being a Dodger fan during one of the greatest runs in baseball history during the twilight of my life, is thrilling, to say the least. I can’t believe we are on the cusp of two championships in a row.
Just beautiful! I wish Vinnie were here to see this. Last but not least, just win baby!
IT’S TIME FOR DODGER BASEBALL!!!

it’s been a crazy 2025 in LA! injuries, slumps, slow deadline, surprises, you name it! And i’m not convinced it ends tonight! No matter what, we’re all Dodger fans. The winter meetings will be here before we know it. Free agency, trades, cutting ties with some. Tomorrow night it ends 2025. Sad but true. i believe the core will be back and healthy next year. the bullpen should get back to being in the top 5 of baseball. The starters? loaded! The outfield is where i believe we will see dramatic changes. Call me crazy, but i believe there will be 2 new outfielders starting in Dodger stadium next year. I believe Tommy Edman goes back to a utility role, as will Kim. Alex Call i believe is signed for next season, so i say he stays. nice bench piece. Dalton Rushing? i have no clue! Ben R. ? again no clue. Kike? gone in my opinion. Rojas ? probably back for his last season, then a coaching job with the dodgers. They need to begin getting younger. Max ? probably back for 1 more year. Where does Freeland fit in? i guess it’s possible Rojas doesn’t come back and Alex takes his spot. lot of possibilities! But for the next 2 days, it’s time for DODGERS baseball!!! A little help from you Vin! please!!
I had always assumed that the 1994 song Lightning Crashes by the group “Live” was an original. Interesting!
Love love love the song. Thanks for sharing
BELIEVE
The Dodgers were down 3-1 to the Braves in the the 2020 NLCS and went on to win. Last year 2-1 to a solid Padre team in the NLDS and went on to win. They were sleepwalking the last 2 games put themselves in a big hole, but if anyone can do it. It’s this team. They are a strong willed veteran group that knows how to win in big moments. I know they won’t do it but this would be my lineup tonite.
