@mariner4life pretty much. 162 games in a normal regular season.

Canada has banned the Blue Jays from playing in Toronto, or anywhere in Canada because only essential workers are allowed in and they won't be able to undergo a 14 day quarantine

Anyone else watching the World Series? The game 4 was epic. Final inning run that had everything to give the Rays the win. Awesome finish and series tied at 2.

Defining game 5 coming up for Clayton Kershaw. Another opportunity to dispel his reputation as a playoff big game choker

The Dodgers finally win the chocolates.

Their team salary was nearly 4 times that of the Rays.

They have really underperformed over the last 5 years having had that payroll

@canefan And a good time for LA sports fans after the Lakers title.

This guy is just a freak. I hope he stays healthy this season.

Big week. (6 HRs, 1 Win, 1 ER, 5 Ks)

Now joint league leader in home runs. I love the sound of the 2nd HR.

@dice not to mention his pitching.

100mph fastballs.

The most talented baseballer in the world by a country mile.

[Dice]

Shohei keeps hitting bombs. Up to 32 home runs now.

Oh yeah, he pitched for a win yesterday too.

The dude's got me watching baseball for the first time in my life.

Hits this one out with a cricket shot.

He'll be pitching tomorrow.

[Dice]

Time for the daily Ohtani highlights.

His splitter is just unfair.

[Dice]

3 home runs in the last 4 days.

Pitched well on Tuesday too.

[KiwiMurph]

So Shohei did this today

[Bovidae]

A pity that Trout is on the IL.

This game was such a good advertisement for the sport. I happened upon it by chance - I loosely follow MLB but don't watch many games in their entirety but this was compelling. Not to mention it coming down to the bottom of the 9th as well. I imagine the MLB spent a pretty penny building the stadium, but what a great spectacle.
