Los Angeles Dodgers 2025

Sack up, we got 2 games to win the WS with our best pitcher lined up.

If you had told me that before the season started, I sign up for it.,

Let's ride.....

Before the season they were talking about a 120 win team. Anything less that a championship was considered a disappointment for this roster. That's a lot of pressure on those guys.

Age doesn't affect baseball players as much as football when a guy hits 30. But 8 of the 9 guys in the lineup range between 30 and 36. Only two of the Blue Jays starters are over 30. One since Springer went down.

You have to wonder if maybe the season isn't just a tad too long for them. They look tired. Almost like they're ready for the season to end.

Im curious did the Blue Jays look tired in the 18 Inning game 3 Marathon they lost??

Narratives can change pretty quick in the post-season. Win game 6 and then the pressure shifts back to Toronto....

I remember the pundits saying how much that game took out of the Blue Jays. How tired they would be in game 4. It was the Dodgers that looked tired. Last night their body language did not look like a team with energy. The younger Blue Jay team looked more like that. If the offense doesn't snap out of it it won't matter how well the pitchers do. 13 runs in the series. 2.6 runs per game. Less if you consider one game had the same innings as two games. That won't win many games.

finally have a night I can sit home and watch a ball game

I’m certainly not ruling them out but there sure seemed to be a lack of heart over the past two games.

I sure hope they can get that energy back. And a .133 battling average ain’t going to get it done - especially when most of those few hits are coming with no one on base.

A day off after that marathon can do wonders.

My money is still the Dodgers.

Favored tomorrow night. And game 7 brings experience to that pressure.

GO DODGERS!!!

I think it was best said by @Rams8821 "Sack up"

They'll be time to rest when your dead. Go into an oxygen chamber. Eat your Wheaties. Get some sleep. Get pumped. Suck it up boys. Rise to the moment. Remember the Alamo. Get jacked.

Maybe play a little AC/DC before the game?

Heart of a champion!!!!

Exactly what the Blue Jays have.

Win game 6 and then the pressure shifts back to Toronto....

The pressure in this series has never and will never be on the Jays.

The Dodgers are the reigning champions, favoured in every game of this post season, and a team made up of every All Star money can buy thanks to the lack of a cap.

If you listened to biased American sports media, many of whom clearly hadn't watched a single inning of Blue Jays baseball all year, and if you listened to Dodgers fans who also hadn't watched a single inning of Blue Jays baseball all year, this World Series was going to be a cakewalk for the Dodgers, an easy sweep.

All the expectations in the world have been on the Dodgers to win the World Series from the start of this season. The Blue Jays finished last in the AL East in 2024.

Like I said, the pressure has been on the Dodgers from the first pitch of the season, not the Blue Jays. And that pressure is still there heading into Game Six.

Lack of heart?
Tired?

or

facing a younger, hungrier team with a lot of talent?

I would think with 2 games left at the most, tired or not, I could find the energy to compete. I expect the Dodgers to play like defending champions and give Toronto everything.they can. Anything less would be disappointing.
