But the errors did happen. That is the difference between champions and second place.0

The dodgers were clearly the better team but the Yankees also did everything they could do to lose that series. It should be going back to LA but they shot themselves in the foot.0

One day they pulled Cole out to fast, the next they left him in too long. They were simply outmatched.0 -
igotid88 said:MLB gave it to the Dodgers
Did they instruct Aaron Boone to have the wrong pitcher face Freeman in game 1 and also then instruct fat Nestor Cortes to serve him up a meatball?
Did they make Carlos Rodon suck?
Did they secretly give Walker Buhler a bionic arm?
Did they instruct Judge to drop a routine fly ball?
Your Mattingly-less Yanks played like the Bad News Bears before Kelly Leak joined and got spanked by a better team.

I miss igotid880 -
It looked like rizzo expected cole to be there, was caught flat footed, and by the time he would have gotten that old, wooden body moving to first base, it would have been too late at that point.
For cole, the only thing I can think of, is he thought/ expected rizzo to field the ball very close to the base and misjudged it.
I feel like the giants are going to come over the top with the Soto offer0 -

But I disagree that the Dodgers had far better pitching and batting.
Game 1 goes into extra innings.Game 2 the dodgers win by 2 after being scoreless for the last 6 innings and Yankees had the bases loaded in the 9th
Game 3 Dodgers win by 2 again off better timed hits (what I mean, both teams had only 5 hits, they just produced more runs with their hits).
Game 4 Yankees win by a blowout and Dodgers did look pretty weak after the first inning.
Game 5 Dodgers win by 1. Was a close game. Only allowed to come back because of 3 errors in 1 innings. If any one of those errors did not happen, Yankees win.
And I'mm a Dodger fan, I grew up there and that was the team I grew up watching and going to the games. I think if they had a rematch next week, it's a 50/50 call on who wins. A couple of those games could have easily gone the other way. Freeman strikes out/flies out/grounds out instead of hitting a homer in game 1, Yankees win. So many of these games came down to 1 swing or 1 play. That to me isn't "far better" pitching or batting. It's just coming out on the right side of luck. I'd say Yankees had better offense and pitching in game 5, just their defense broke down.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

Thats not far better, that's pretty evenly matched. A far better team doesn't need errors to win, isn't hoping for a 10th inning home run to come ahead, needing shutout in the last inning to hold the lead, etc.
The yankees had their chances, multiple times in each game, and blew it.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -
Phillies played stupid and sloppy in the 2009 World Series - guess what - Yankees were the better team and that's why they won.

This is the norm, not the exception.
The Dodgers were better. By what degree they were better is debatable and irrelevant. The Yanks were obviously a good team, but they lost to a better team.
The Dodgers may not have blown them out every night, but they won series 4-1. The game they lost the threw a "bullpen game" out of necessity due to injury and they were pretty much expected to lose that game. Games 2 & 3 both ended with 4-2 scores, but neither was really ever in doubt. Yanks' lineup was dominated by Dodger pitching both games.This weekend we rock Portland0 -
By that logic, the Indians were the same as the Yankees too. The games were all pretty much close and came down to the wire and a few pitches.

so, is Boone's seat hot? running him out there year after year seems like the old definition of insanity.

Not every game, but at least 1 or 2.
There weren’t any in favor of the dodgers.Game 1 could have gone either way and went into extra innings.
Game 2 ended with the bases loaded, one hit could have changed that outcome (just like it did the night before for the Dodgers).Yankees don’t make 3 consecutive errors and they win game 5.
Judge finally got out of his slump and Ohtani didn’t seem to.
This could have easily been a 6 or 7 game series.Dodgers were better, I just wouldn’t call it “far better.”0 -
