Another bizarre scenario with a late called strike 2 resulting in a double play

What strike? Ha. Dodgers get yet another gift from the plate umpire. (No double play, just a pick off. One out.)
 

But the umpire did call a strike right away. We all heard it. But they misinterpreted his delayed arm motion as take first base. Should have been ball 4 anyway if there was any justice.

Sorry it was confusing watching at the local pub without the sound on. Bichette was sleeping at the wheel regardless getting picked off at 1B

And another case of just stopping, and not forcing a rundown. Never ceases to amaze me. Chances are very low to be successful, but it can happen. It never happens if you just quit. 
 

And another example of how a bad call severely affects the game. Toronto should have 1 run.

Perfect throw from RF to gun down Freeman at home plate

The throw to second sure looked like it should have been overturned to an out  , looks like things are going the dodgers way  ....

Barger did throw a perfect strike to home , nice play ...

I've got to imagine this is Glasnow's last inning with a fully rested bullpen in their arsenal. This game is far from over

But the Dodgers pen is their Achilles heal this year. A real weakness.

I'm far from a Dodgers expert, but I'd throw in Sasaki and let him go an inning or 2 next

They do have the starter moved to the pen for the postseason, Sasaki. I doubt Roberts will go to him until late.  
 

Check out the Sept 6 game against the Orioles when Yamamoto took a no hitter into the 9th. Yes, all year the pen has let them down so often. Like game 1 in WS.

Well, old friend Ty France has a strikeout in the 2025 world series, but it's not exactly fair to him coming up cold off the bench with 2 strikes. He worked the count full so I'll give him that
