I also enjoyed seeing the Dodgers win the World Series and put that 2020 talk to sleep.

What happened to the Yankees ? 3 errors, pitcher doesn't cover first and catcher's interference. Dodgers are the World Champions !!!

I don't like the Dodgers, I liked the historical match up and wished it would go 7 games of exciting baseball.

Props to Dave Roberts for a well managed series.

Good games. I am not somebody who follows modern sports, so I'm really a fan of every team. Just like to watch fun games. The series was good.

Especially impressive given all the injuries to the pitching staff.

5 unearned runs in an elimination World Series game? This game was fixed.

I thought it was great the Dodgers won it all the same month Valenzuela passed. Many of us probably remember Fernando-mania very well! And his unlikely no-hitter late in this career.

Yankees shot themselves in the foot, multiple times but the Dodgers were the better team. For the life of me I don't understand how in game 1, Boone decided bring in Nestor Cortes, who hadn't thrown an inning in months. Furthermore they just gave away the game last night. Up 5-0, and made some careless moves. Onto the next year!

Well, I tried my best to conjure up the spirits of all my baseball heroes of the past to help this current Yankees team...Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle. But even they couldn't do it. Congratulations!

Those two buffoons in the stands . . . .

Yankee fans I know trying to justify their conduct. Like this goes on all the time. 50 years never once saw someone try to pry the glove off someone's hand while a friend pins the guy's arm to the wall.

"This is the area I patrol...."

Pathetic. Should be banned for life.

And then I'm asked "why do people hate Yankee fans so much?"

Yanks fan here, but it was definitely a fitting tribute to Fernando. I remember Fernandomania well.

I was 10 years old, excited every time I pulled a Fernando (or "Fernand") card from a pack. What was Donruss thinking not putting him in their set?

Then he killed it for them in the Playoffs and beat the Yanks in a nail-biter of a Game 3 when he didn't have his best stuff, but still hung in there for a Complete Game win, while throwing 147 pitches, shutting the Yankees down from innings 4 through 9.

We were there for both Games 1 and 2, and these were the thrills of a lifetime. Would have lost some of its glitter if they found hadn't found a way to win the whole enchilada. The Dodgers played very clean (but not perfect baseball) all 5 games, and it looked the Yankees were each trying to do to much (hence the mental and physical errors). I think the Dodgers postseason experience (both good and bad) certainly helped them.

And to all the Dodger haters:

"They not like us"

+1. Very happy to see the Dodgers win AND especially the Yankees lose. Dodgers played really great baseball for the most part. Deserved it.

So this guy had one homer in the 2022 postseason, zero homers in 2023, and then this year zero homers against the Padres, zero against the Mets and suddenly hits four in the World Series ??? Doesn't sound normal to me ...

Horrible behavior by those idiots.

Sadly Dodgers fans don't set a high moral bar, either.
https://sports.yahoo.com/dodgers-fan...010253248.html

"I didn't say anything," Profar continued. "I had to fight with them to catch the ball. They were hitting my glove."

Yankees were 54-49 since June 1. Remarkably bad for a World Series contender. Without Stanton's heroics, they don't even get past Cleveland in the ALCS. And what a wasted WS performance by Cole: 12+ innings, 1 ER.

Those 2 idiots made Philly fans behavior seem mild in comparison, if at least for 1 day.

Hundreds of thousands of LA area Dodger fans can meet at the end of the parade to celebrate the team in an event that will...

Oops, sorry, strike that.

Very soon after the parade ends, at Dodger Stadium which is far enough away that nobody who attended the parade can get to it, there will be a PAID event, with PAID parking, that season ticket holders will have (deservedly) first dibs on.

No prices announced yet...

Typical of a team that hates their average fan...

He would not possibly have beaten Mookie to the bag.

The real question is why did it take Rizzo so long to get to the bag? Was he wearing cement shoes?

Kind of the opposite of the Buckner play in 86. But Mookie hit another slow roller up the line …..

I'll just steal part of one of the youtube comments :

"Mookie Betts hustles on a play where he is out 99% of the time, Cole doesn't hustle on a play where Mookie is out 99% time."

I will only add "Thank you Mookie!"

Good video.

A little bizarre two Mookies, same sort of a hit in the WS.

Rizzo should have been able to handle that play himself. I don’t know what the defensive analytics say, but from the eye test he’s regressed quite a bit defensively. He’s had lapses like that all season, whether they were called “errors” or not.

Game 5 was a Yankees disaster, no matter how you slice it.

Cole pitched his butt off. The Series should have gone back to LA for a game 6.

This team was a hot and cold team all year, more so than any World Series team in my memory.

Judge - the Captain - is the anti-Captain. He never shows up in the postseason. How do you take your eyes off a fly like that? Judge's boner.

Soto is gone. Probably to the Dodgers, who, like George Steinbrenner, thumb their nose at luxury tax. George's sons are/were NOTHING like their father. If George was still running the show, Boone would have been gone long ago, the Yankees would have unloaded Stanton, and the high-priced free agents brought in would be dumped if they were washed up.

But congrats to the Dodgers. Dave Roberts has evolved into a fine manager. Freddie deserves to be the Series MVP. Soto will almost certainly go to the Dodgers.

He had more RBI's in 5 games than any Dodger in WS history. That is crazy to think about all the Dodger greats that he beat out.

Exactly. Make a beeline for first base and take nothing for granted. That should be instinct at this point in his career. You can always get called off and peel away or stop. He took a step or two and then adjusted his angle as if he was headed for the dugout. If he makes that play like he and every MLB pitcher is taught from a fairly young age, Betts is out.
Rizzo is really not much at fault. That ball had obvious spin coming off the end of the bat, sufficient to make him be a bit cautious about simply charging toward the bag. You can see it spinning toward second and he fields it with that motion. If he hard charges and that ball kicks off his glove as its spinning away then two runs score on the play. Plus why would he believe an e xperienced pitcher like Cole would not be doing his job?
Frankly the spin was obvious and Cole should have recognized it. A ball hit off the end of the bat that close to the line is either going to spin (likely) or head straight toward the bag (or foul), and Rizzo was set up between first and second, which again should have alerted Cole to get over either way. My guess he was tired and thought the long-ass inning from hell was over, and just figured he'd head to the dugout. His remarks were simply that he took a bad angle, but that's true IMO only because he did not intend to field or cover and just left it to Rizzo to figure out.

What happens when a team (Yankees) plays April baseball instead of October baseball. Completely unfathomable collapse--never saw anything like it in all my years......

Rizzo is really not much at fault. That ball had obvious spin coming off the end of the bat, sufficient to make him be a bit cautious about simply charging toward the bag. You can see it spinning toward second and he fields it with that motion. If he hard charges and that ball kicks off his glove as its spinning away then two runs score on the play. Plus why would he believe an e xperienced pitcher like Cole would not be doing his job?
Frankly the spin was obvious and Cole should have recognized it.

You could also see that Rizzo was prepared to flip it to Cole, only to see Cole nowhere near the bag.

I figure that Cole either had a brain freeze or just couldn't be bothered with covering first base. It would be interesting to view film of games Cole pitched this year to see if he normally does make a concerted effort to beat the batter to first base on similar grounders to the first basemen.

Yankees had a higher batting average, higher OBP, higher slugging, and lower ERA for the Series than the Dodgers. Still lost.

The difference is exactly those runs in the fifth

Too bad game four didn't include the Yankees managing to score two of their six men ultimately left on base, for a final score of Yankees 13 Dodgers 4, in which case the Yankees would have scored more runs in the series than the Dodgers.

Final score of the series was Dodgers 25 - Yankees 24.

It all just proves that the only stat that REALLY matters is games won.

Aaron Judge's last error before this game was May 24, 2023.

As a Yanks fan, all I can say is I’m glad that dumpster fire of an inning happened in Game 5 of a series they were already down in, instead of a Game 7. That would have been an absolute gut punch.

Silver linings.

Aaron Judge isn't the first New York outfielder to drop a fly ball at a critical moment in the World Series. But he hits more homers than my friend Fred Snodgrass, so he will likely be forgiven. Also, Giancarlo Stanton must be the slowest baserunner in MLB history - Ernie Lombardi deserves an apology

In seriousness, that NYY defense was beyond atrocious in game 5. was hoping for a longer Series.

If you want to see a really mind-boggling difference in stats between a losing team and a winning team in the World Series, check out the 1960 Series between the Yanks and the Pirates.

I'll start it off with:

Yankees 3.54 ERA

Pirates 7.11 ERA

Ironically, losing the Series might be good for the Yankees. Even if we had won it, the flaws in our game would still be there. A short while ago they did an internal audit and their conclusion was that nothing was wrong. Now the Dodgers' scouting reports completely lambasting the Yankees' mind-boggling mismanagement of the fundamentals are public and the entire baseball world is laughing at the organization. It has been a while since a baseball team has been not just defeated, but truly embarrassed like this. Maybe it will light a fire under Cashman, Steinbrenner, and the other execs and force them to finally address the issues that fans have been pointing out for years on end.

Did anyone notice?

Near the end of game 3, Alex Verdugo hit a home run. He made contact and watched the ball as it flew back, back, back. He's lucky it cleared the wall. From the video I saw, it didn't clear it by much. Had that ball stayed in play, he would have looked quite foolish.

While arguably not as bad as Cole's lazy fielding, it seems indicative of a larger problem with the Yankees. They didn't seem like a team that plays hard and focuses on fundamentals.

Now, maybe Verdugo crushed that pitch and it was a no-doubter. Either way, bust it down the line. Good things tend to happen when teams that play like that.

Yankees had the secret weapon to stop Freddie Freeman but didn't use it/him...
