Not as dramatic a win by the Dodgers last night...but pretty close, what with the heel-nipping in the ninth.
Of course, that happened in the shadow of Ohtani going fetal at second base while some Yankee infielder* just...ran past him all "none of my business Kermit dot gif"? Like, you don't have to cradle his head in your lap, but maybe just wait nearby until the trainer comes out, or get between him and the dugout cams? Or ask yourself what A-Rod would have done, and do the opposite?
*my dislike of Volpe is 1) irrational and 2) already public record so I don't care to pile on; someone can tell me in the comments who it actually was
Anyway, all of that was...not awesome to experience at home (ditto the FOX booth trying to find British-diplomat ways to slam Soto's cazh defense), but a lights-out Yamamoto + Freeman and T. Hernandez dingers were pretty rad.
Points!

Always interesting to see at this point in the postseason which picks, or pick combinations, are proving decisive. Two weeks ago, I would not have called "Betts and Soto" as your split ticket, but that's why I'm in [checks notes] 10th and 11th place.
Fingers crossed The Big Sho just needs some ice packs; we're back in action Monday night, 8 PM ET on FOX, with Buehler taking the mount against Schmidt. See you then!

Glad I’m not the only one who clocked that casual “Oh, he’s writhing in pain? I’ve got some sunflower seeds to get to” jog past. Jerks.
*Happy to pile on the AV hate. He Went to That School irrationality 4eva.
my people
I’m torn between wanting to see the Yankees lose, and wanting them to win a few to extend the season.
RIP to my OMG slate 😔
At least if I had went with a “top 4” before the playoffs, the Mets still are first, barely ahead of the Dodgers & Yankees.
Vientos still Most Valuable Pick on volume rn. Not super-likely to hold the spot but it's not impossible!
Go swaggy V!
