Giants have unsurprisingly waived him.

World Series Game 3 goes 18 innings and only finished about 39 mins ago. Ohtani due to pitch tonight/tomorrow as well.

I was at the Astros Braves game in 05 that went 18 innings. Some madness in games like that.

Went to bed at the end of the 14th. Think the blue jays needed that one to win it, especially with Ohtani up next

You're a better man than me I lasted until the bottom of the 6th! Doubt I'll
be up that late tonight again.

Series is very tight could still swing either way both teams had opportunities and the Jays will be unhappy with the officiating and that crazy call for Schneider to go for home from 1st base on 2 outs.

Ohtani is something else!!

I do live in California so it was about 10.15p when I went to bed!

Anyway Jays win tonight and tie it up at 2-2

Ah fair enough!!

The series will have to be won in Toronto now so 2 huge games coming up. I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far both teams have some great players with Vladdy and Ohtani the superstars.

What a start for the Blue Jays!!!

screenexile · November 01, 2025, 12:17:33 AM

Big night in Toronto! Gausman has started well.

screenexile · November 01, 2025, 01:31:44 PM

What do we make of the "lodged ball" call??

Sets it up for a huge game tonight now!

It was absolutely the correct call.

Incredible Game 7 to win an incredible series.

Didn't get to stay up for it but sounds like it was a barnstormer and there was very little in it.

I only get interested in the American sports when Toronto do well so a bit gutted for them. They're desperate for a baseball or hockey win!

gawa316 · November 02, 2025, 09:15:35 PM

Blue Jays must be kicking themselves not to win that

gallsman · November 02, 2025, 09:29:26 PM

This is an all time collapse from da Bears and they still might win it.

gallsman · November 02, 2025, 09:32:47 PM

And they have
