He took a lot of heat including from me.
The guy is a stud and proved his mettle in this World Series. Proud of him, Urias, really the whole team.
I am seeing people everywhere with Dodger gear on and I live in North San Diego County! Let's GO!

I just watched this video a few hours ago! Seems like Cash interpreted the wrong data, lucky for us he did! |

What was cool about this year was my daughter (all of 4) got to see the local teams win, which was awesome. Last time I saw the Dodgers win the World Series I was in High School...next time it is with my little one 
What struck me is just how much talent this Dodger team has on their position lineup vs that 88 team. Frankly, outside of Kirk Gibson, I'm not sure anyone cracks the 2020 team's starting lineup. And don't even get me started on the World Series lineup from the 88 team, egad, I think Mike Marshal was the only power threat in that entire lineup during the Series with Kirk injured.
In any event, congrats to Dodger blue. Great for LA to see both their big teams win in what was, perhaps, one of the more strenuous years in recent memory. |

| ^This team is loaded compared to â88. You may remember the time Lasorda was interviewed after Game 4 â88 and said the players were angered when they heard Costas in the pregame say to the effect that the 1988 Dodgers had the weakest hitting line-up in World Series history (outside of Marshal and Gibson). They chanted âKill Costas, kill Costasâ and took it out on the Aâs with a victory. Unsung heroes, the Stuntmen with Danny Heep, Franklin Stubbs, Rick Dempsey, and of course Mickey Hatcher. |

| I'm curious about something... I heard today, the game ball is worth $250k. Do you guys think this is something that is discussed before hand? That whoever last has the ball gets to keep it? Does it count as income for Barnes? |

How can they say they are an LA team after that? Wow, embarrassing. |
I saw congratulations message from Lakers, Clips, Rams, Chargers, Kings, Galaxy but nothing from the LA Angels.  |
I noticed that too. Not surprised because the Angels doing it would seem weird. Also, I think of the Angels as being an Anaheim team like the Ducks. |

I remember the telecast. Costas did not exclude Marshall, only Gibson. It was made in reference to Gibson not being expected to play in Game One.
Marshall was a rather meh ballplayer. Some good pop from time to time, struck out too much, wasn't particularly clutch, too easily injured. BA was ok, OBP was below average. He was the second best hitter on the 1988 team, which is why Costa's comment was justified.
Typical Marshall, he homered during Game 2, providing insurance runs. Then got injured. |

Man, I'll be honest...I f'ing hate all the Snell talk. People are talking more about that, than they are the Dodgers winning for the first time in 32 years.
It almost feels like an excuse - that the Dodgers wouldn't have won the World Series if he stayed in. Making it seem like it was literally impossible that we could have eventually scored on him. |

Regardless of anyone's stance on whether TB would have won game 6 or not if Snell stayed in, it's irrefutable that taking him out was the turning point in the game. TB was winning 1-0 and a few batters after Snell is taken out, they're now trailing 2-1. That's the fact of the matter and why it's discussed so much.
It's such a big story because it defied all "logic" in a conventional baseball sense. It will blow over after a while. The only way it ever comes up as an "excuse" is from a Dodger-hater. Kind of like Doc Rivers' "They didn't beat our starting 5" excuse. |

If he had stayed in and the Rays force a game 7, then the talk would be about how Turner and the Dodgers destroyed the bubble concept and forced a week long wait between games 6 and 7. Maybe be happy with what happened because it could have been much worse.

| The hitting on the 88 team wasnât much, but the pitching staff on that team was loaded. The Aâs never faced pitching like that before, and itâs one reason their bats went silent. |

If the Rays win game 6, how would Turner and the Dodgers have destroyed the bubble concept?
Were they going to all go out onto the field to celebrate a loss? |

Obviously Turner was going to do what he wanted, not what was agreed upon. But there was still contact between him and others in game 6, the protocol would be for all to quarantine.

1) Why obviously? If they lose, why is it obvious he wonât just stay in quarantine?
2) If the protocol is for all to quarantine, which is a part of the âbubble concept,â then how would Turner and the Dodgers have âdestroyedâ that concept?
Are you saying theyâll destroy it by following protocols and quarantining? |

You should be happy the Cardinals didnt meet the Dodgers the past 2 years because it would have been a @ss-whooping to make up for the flukey undeserved wins as the BS inferior team you got in 1985 and 2014......both times eventually leading you guys to lose to an inferior team yourself. |

| That ending to game 6 was surreal, it was very close to ended the worst way possible for the Dodgers. MLB could've stepped in during the game and stopped it, forced both team to quarantine right away for 2 weeks. Depend on the test results during quarantine, who knows, maybe the rest of the World Series get canceled and vacate the 2020 WS title. just think about it, that scenario was very realistic of happening. |

Thereâs precedent though of positive tests during the year. They donât freak out when thereâs only 1. |

Just heard this on the radio and I thought it was a good question.
Whatâs the difference between what JT did and what Clevinger and Plesac did?
Both broke covid protocols. Clevinger and Plesac didnât get punished (suspended) by MLB. |
