Oh my god - what a finish!!!!!!!

[Jobu]

The whole game was a ton of fun - and the finish was nuts!!

[Shoeless Moe]

How does Kenley give him a pitch to hit with the count 1-2???????

Just stupid......reminds me of Pete Carroll passing from the 1 yard line with the best running back at the time.

I was picturing a breaking ball in the dirt...swinging strike 3...game over!

He has a defensive replacement pinch hitting down 1-2..........just WOW!!!!

[Shoeless Moe]

Plus how the hell does Arozarena score from FIRST on that bloop hit. Dude has some wheels!

Granted he was dead, but still. And it's not like he was running on a 1-2 count with a runner in front of him.

JUST AMAZING!!!!

[LEHR]

That was a great game to watch! Awesome ending!

He made it to third on the E8, then scored on the E2 (that evidently wasn't scored).

Ugh, brutal.

So entertaining. Congrats to the Rays on tying it up.

My wife is from Tampa and was running around our living room in circles with her arms out. I loved Arozarena just lying there, smiling and patting home plate. Top 10 WS games I’ve ever seen, for sure.

Was it a bad throw by Muncy or was it a missed catch by Smith? I didn't see enough of the replays to figure out who should have got the second E. I saw Aroz on the ground and figured they were going to nail him. Next thing you know Smith doesn't have the ball and the series is tied. One of the more chaotic endings to a WS game.

What was funny was on one of the replays you could see a maskless Dave Roberts saying "Ah" and you knew what the next word, as he was turning his head from the camera, wasn't "For Pete's sake..."

Why didn't Jansen back up Smith? A lot went wrong on that play for the Dodgers. Now instead of Kershaw pitching for the series win, the pressure is squarely on his shoulders.

Thanks for the link.

Need to find an entire video that shows the WHOLE thing. It takes a few angles to see the hit, the fielding error, the throw Mucny cut, Muncy's throw and Smith missing, Aroz on his belly and then scoring. So much crap going on.

Muncy had to cut the throw. Smith, could have caught the ball. If he did, he'd have had Aroz out.

The one thing that video doesn't show is Aroz on his belly about 30+feet from home plate. That was just a crazy ending.

Bad throw by Muncy, 100%. I saw that right away. Three guys touched the ball: the right fielder, the first baseman, and the catcher. The right fielder and catcher got errors but it was Muncy who blew the play. He only has to throw the ball maybe 40 feet to the right side of home plate so the catcher can grab it in position to make the tag (and prepare for a possible collision) but Muncy throws it to the other side. Smith has to hurry, and by looking away from the runner to catch the ball, he's rendered blind on the play. So he makes a quick grab for the ball to prepare for the impending play at the plate, and he was just a bit hasty.

Just goes to prove one of the greatest things about baseball – there's always so many moving parts to watch at once! I had no clue what was happening – did the throw make it, wait, did Randy fake a run to bait a dive, wait no, he's getting to his feet?

Love it!! Hope more people tune in for tonight's game!
