I know everybody's watching hoops tonight (I'm not ready to resubscribe to B1G+ just yet), but Ohtani just struck out the side in the top of the first, then led off the bottom with an absolute bomb. 

Kind of a nice little tool to have in your toolbox.

Othani has THREE dingers and struck out 10 as the starting pitcher. 

Have a night!

Othani has THREE dingers and is gonna be the winning pitcher.

Amazing player. But also a great example of why baseball needs to institute a salary floor and cap. And get rid of this nonsensical deferring salaries

Shohei Othani was the starting pitcher tonight. 

He threw 6 shutout innings, allowing 2 hits and striking out 10 to get the W. 

At the plate, he hit three homers. 

All in the postseason. 

Might be the greatest performance in the history of Major League Baseball.

Absolutely insane level of play. Ohtani is a playoff riser

Obviously there’s a difference between best and greatest, but at this point is it even arguable that Ohtani’s not the best player ever? He’s Babe Ruth except 6’3” 230 and playing now.

Game 3 is an instant classic.  Going into the top of the 14 as I type.  5-5.

I did.  Paying for it now.

Will Klein -- the dude who got the win last night with a stellar, longer-than-usual four-inning relief outing -- went to Bloomington North. 

I did not know that.

Still rooting for Toronto just because of Evansville's Donnie Baseball on the coaching staff of the Blue Jays, but it is pretty cool to see local guys coming up big.

Crazy series.

What a game. A Vlad walk-off would be cinema here. 

[Brass Cannon 26,745]

Wow thought we were getting a walk off there 

[LamarCheeks 23,440]

Dude comes about 5 feet from a Series-ending grand slam and has two outfielders almost kill each other. 

But one of them caught it. 

Onto the 10th. 

[FortWayneHoosier 7,258]

This is so nuts. Some of the best baseball ever right here 

[LamarCheeks 23,440]

Dodgers get out of bases-loaded jam in bottom of 9th.

Blue Jays get out of bases-loaded jam in top of 10th.

What's next?
