I have to agree with the ruling on the field. It wasn't conclusive enough to overturn. That being said, I think he was safe. And then ZOMG THAT CATCH.

Is this gonna be the game that finally eclipses the Twins game 7 in 91? 

Umps have been pretty good and any missed balls and strikes calls were very close

Yamamoto being brought into the bottom of the 9th inning with two on and then getting out of a bases loaded one out jam after throwing 96 pitches yesterday is crazy!!!

Then in the top of the 10th inning the Blue Jays also get out of a bases loaded one out jam.

How long are the Dodgers going to let Yamamoto pitch and will the Jays finally find a way to beat him if he stays in?

The Dodgers have uses all 4 of their World Series starters in this game and now the Blue Jays have used 3 of their 4 World Series starters.

Could be. 

And agreed on the umps.  There have been a number of close calls on some things, but every one was confirmed on replay, and you're right, anything that may have been missed on a ball/strike was very much a borderline call, nothing that I've seen made me think "how did you call that"   The number of times I've said to myself "yep that's a ball/strike" I've lost track of.

If the Dodgers finish this off there’s a case to be made for Will Smith as WS MVP. Most innings caught in WS history is crazy.

Last night, the ump really liked the "just outside the zone, it's low" strikes, but he was calling them ALL night.

Not quite what I was hoping for, but a lead off double is acceptable.

If an ump extends the zone a little bit in some direction, and calls it consistently all night?  I'm OK with that.  Just so long as it isn't TOO much of a change from the proper zone, or if you never know for sure when it's going to get called.

No chance they were pitching to Barger there but that’s risky putting him on with only 1 out

Dodgers and their $350 million payroll (the best team money can buy) are one run better.

Or are they? The missed call in game 3 that definitely help the Dodgers win that game ends up being HUGE!!!

And for 3 innings! And those innings were 9,10,11 in game 7. Plus a complete game 4 hit win in game 2 (?)

Our Minnesota Twins beat the Dodgers 10-7 back on July 23rd just before the "Fire Sale"

Rocco Baldelli ends up getting fired!

Just think about that for a minute!

So back in 1991 after the Twins won the World Series, players from both teams met together in the dome to talk to each other about what they had experienced. I never heard anything like this before or since.

So the Dodgers have new contracts that will not have to make deferred payments until 2047?

A personal favorite of mine, Wilbur Wood, passed away on Saturday at the age of 84. Known for, what now seem ridiculous, work loads, an article I read called him “more Old Testament than old school.”
