The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2 in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium to even the series at two games apiece. Canadian Baseball Network columnist Mark Whicker offers his take on the game.
Read More“Game 3 was like an orphan, or maybe an old CD player left in the yard, for scavengers. Six baserunners were nabbed at second, third or home. The Blue Jays lost a run because home plate Mark Wegner, faced with calling either a ball or a strike on Daulton Varsho, decided to call a ballike or a strall or something in between, and Bo Bichette got picked off because he couldn’t tell.”

Read More“Questions we never thought we’d ask kept popping up through the artificial garden of Rogers Centre after Game One.
If Alejandro Kirk is going to keep smacking home runs, can the Blue Jays get him a Home Run Jacket that fits?
Can Freddie Freeman, last year’s World Series MVP and perhaps the steadiest hitter in baseball, remember how?
Should we scout the Dunedin Blue Jays and other Florida State League teams to find the featured pitcher in next year’s World Series?
There were others, but only 24 hours ago the only question was if the Dodgers’ parade route would be kept secret, the better to frustrate ICE agents. Now that Toronto has thrashed the Dodgers, 11-4, nobody is sure of anything. It’s worth noting that Yoshihuru Yamamoto pitched a complete game last time out, and is working Game Two for the Dodgers, and a team with a lifetime of postseason experiences should have little trouble clearing its head. But it’s more about the Blue Jays, and their unwillingness to serve as the scenery. “
