Well, of all the World Series games, last night’s was certainly… one of them. An 18-inning marathon, won by the Dodgers on a walk-off from Freddie Freeman, and what feels like just a few hours later, we’re back at Chavez Ravine once again. How the managers handle their incinerated bullpens – 12.2 frames of work […]
While the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays fight it out for the 2025 World Series trophy, the rest of baseball is planning for 2026. If you aren’t a fan of the two teams currently still playing, then looking forward is what most of us are doing. Conjecture takes a prominent role during […]
World Series, Game 4: 8:00 PM ET, FOX (Dodgers lead 2-1) RHP Shane Bieber (TOR) vs. RHP Shohei Ohtani (LAD) Good lord. How do you follow that? Last night — and well into this morning — the Dodgers and Blue Jays played one of the most ridiculous games in the history of the World Series. […]
After reaching base a staggering nine times during last night’s epic 18 inning Game 3, Shohei Ohtani will toe the rubber for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 tonight at Dodger Stadium (while also leading off, because of course). The Toronto Blue Jays will look to claw their way back into a level series […]
Dodgers and Blue Jays, back at it, possibly for only half as long this time around. REMINDER: we will have extra overflow game threads up at 6:12 p.m. PT and 7:25 p.m. PT. World Series Game 4 info
Well, I don’t think they can go 18 innings today. I’m sure I can’t go 18 today. A win would be a good thing. They are in tough against Shohei Ohtani Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS DODGERS Nathan Lukes – LF Shohei Ohtani – DH Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Mookie Betts – SS Bo Bichette – […]
Look, I know Shane Bieber is really good. I know that the Blue Jays, in general, are a really good team. They won the American League East! The same division with the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the ever-pesky Rays! And yet, it sort of feels like the series is over. The Dodgers lead 2-1, […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates have found their next pitching coach. According to multiple reports, the Pirates have hired Houston Astros pitching coach Bill Murphy to become the new leader of the Bucs pitching staff. Astros reporter Chandler Rome was first to report the news. Murphy, 36, spent the last 10 seasons in the Astros organization, winning […]
One of the more interesting subplots this offseason, to me, is what the Astros decided to do at catcher in the near term. We all know the organization is interested in bringing Victor Caratini back, but whether that happens won’t be determined for a while. Then there is Yainer Díaz, who has three more years […]

Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Dodgers – A World Series Game 4 thread for October 28, 2025
Or maybe this is Game 5, since Game 3 went 18 innings. Shohei Ohtani goes up against Shane Bieber, and both teams are going to be needing their starters to go deep after the Jays pen had to throw 12+ innings yesterday and the Dodgers’ pen 13+ innings yesterday. 7:00 p.m. Central on Fox. Talk […]
After last night’s epic but exhausting Game 3 that found the Los Angeles Dodgers managing to out-endure the Toronto Blue Jays, Game 4 kicks off a mere 18 hours later. Currently, the Dodgers lead the series 2-1. But last night’s (this morning’s?) game is relegated to the history books, and tonight, the Blue Jays with […]
Did you stay up to watch the end of Game 3? Quite a number of you did, the comment count in Monday’s game thread might have been the most for any non-Cubs game thread in BCB history. The Dodgers and Blue Jays are likely to be pretty exhausted after the 18 innings of Game 3. […]
Go Cards.
LOS ANGELES — Game 3 was so chock full of nuggets that the 18-inning marathon remained the talk of the day on Tuesday ahead of Game 4 of Dodgers vs. Blue Jays. Shohei Ohtani reached base all nine times he was up on Monday, including four intentional walks, a strategy Blue Jays manager John Schneider […]
No Springer in today’s lineup. The Jays say that he is ‘hour to hour’. Bo Bichette DHes today. Bo DHing means he won’t come out of the game for a defensive replacement, but they still might pinch run for him, if the need comes up. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS DODGERS Nathan Lukes – LF […]
The Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 8 win over the New York Giants was the most complete offensive performance of the season by a distance. I called the offense boring a few weeks ago (a statement I stand by), but this week was anything but boring. We saw a lot of new stuff in this one, which […]
Whew. After last night’s marathon 18-inning contest between the Blue Jays and Dodgers saw Los Angeles pull out the walk-off win, the two teams have a quick turn around as they get set to play again just hours later in Game 4 of the World Series. The Blue Jays, losers of one of the longest […]

After their record-setting, instantly-ensconced in baseball lore marathon Game 3 that took place last night, the Dodgers and Blue Jays are right back to it tonight for Game 4. Shohei Ohtani is poised to embellish his legend by pitching in a World Series, the first two-way player to do so since Babe Ruth in Game […]
LOS ANGELES — Game 4 of the World Series is all about how two spent teams can bounce back after playing 18 innings in Game 3. The Dodgers are running back the same starting nine for an eighth straight game, including catcher Will Smith. Smith caught all 18 innings of Game 3, four more innings […]
