Flaherty pitched well. 5 hits isn’t ideal but 6 Ks. Cole only had 4.

Fans know the rules.

I have watched it on replay and that fan knew ffs.

Feel for his kid. Possibly has missed the greatest finish ever in a World Series game

On a side note, f**k me verdugo is some fielder. Those catches to end the 9th and get ohtani out were ridiculous.

Having serious 1988 vibes after that.

Deja vu all over again, I don't believe what I just saw.

Gibby on 2 bad legs walks off the A's, Freddie on 1 bad leg walks off the Yanks - hopefully there is some great commentary somewhere too as the call from MLB International was lame.

That fast ball before the breaking ball that Stanton slapped for a homer was such a waste. He tempted fate by trying to get a third breakballing strike in a row and paid for it dearly. Hopefully it is a good learning lesson.

He helped his team win by interfering and will get his 5 minutes of fame.

Happy for Freddie, but still wish he was at Atlanta.

Mlb normally struggles for recognition and media coverage especially when competing against the other North American sport markets, ie .NFL,NBA and NHL. It took a matchup of titans in New York vs LA to draw real national interest. This series will bring a whole wave of new fans to the sport.

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Obviously a WS game for the ages.

Sorry to nit pick but I’ve always wondered why we get the international broadcast for the World Series rather than the US Fox Sports telecast per the division and champion series.

The international broadcast doesn’t do in game and post game interviews and it just seemed a bit anti climatic not to hear from Freddie Freeman the match winner.

I have gone back and watched the Torres fan interference.

I don't see how they can be sure that would not have been a home run? I have freeze framed it etc

The fan catches it and then drags the ball in his glove down which makes it look lower - like when a catcher frames the pitch.

I don't know what they said on the coverage at the time but it looks like a bad call to me.

It means we don't get John Smoltz who is a terrible colour commentator. For whatever bizarre reason MLB has a separate TV contract for the World Series. Can't think of any other sport league that does it.

The right field umpire called interference so they needed conclusive proof to overturn it. If it was ruled a HR it would've stayed a HR. I think it would've hit the top of the wall and had a chance of bouncing over
