"No doubt about it. The best team won the World Series. The Dodgers found ways to win without great hitting. Their pitching and defensive skills exceeded our expectations. Thank you everyone for another amazing baseball season. How wonderful to see grown men acting like little boys during their victory celebration. While I am not a fan of the gyrations on the bases after a hit (even when way behind), the pure joy emanating from the players at the end was to be cherished."
"Who would imagine that Games 6 and 7 would both end on double plays while the losing team had men in scoring position? One different swing of the bat would have reversed the outcome of the games and series. How suddenly agonizing and euphoric. How uniquely baseball! The Toronto Blue Jay fans taunted Shohei Othani early in the series, "We don't need you!" I guess they did!"
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured the 2025 World Series by relying on dominant pitching, strong defense, and decisive managerial moves while producing limited offense. The Toronto Blue Jays earned praise as an outstanding opponent capable of beating any team. Yoshinobu Yamamoto received high admiration and suggestions arose to honor Japan on the World Series ring. Games 6 and 7 concluded on double plays with the losing team in scoring position, highlighting baseball’s fine margins. Miguel Rojas became essential late in the series. Dave Roberts’ handling of rotation, bullpen, lineup tweaks, and defensive replacements delivered the championship.
