Scherzer admitted to debating retirement while rehabbing his thumb injury earlier in the year, stating that he could barely grip the ball and felt ineffective on the mound for the first time in his life. When he did return, he got lit up and allowed 17 runs in 15 innings in September.

When a team loses Game 7 of the World Series in extra innings there is bound to be some second guessing. In the case of the Toronto Blue Jas 5-4 loss to the LA Dodgers, the failure to score both the insurance runs they needed and the winning runs when the game was on the line, will forever sting in the hearts of the teams' fans.

"The umpires all came up to me, and they were like 'If you didn't get him out of there we were probably going to have to toss him'" Muncy said on Foul Territory. "Because you know how that goes, with the instigation rules. If you're the guy that instigates it, then you're usually the one who gets tossed, even through it's not your fault."

The Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in 11 innings in Game 7 of the World Series averaged 51m viewers combined across the United States, Canada and Japan. Major League Baseball said it is the most-watched game since Game 7 of the 1991 World Series between the Minnesota Twins and Atlanta Braves. Last Saturday's game averaged 27.33m on Fox Sports, Fox Deportes and Fox's streaming platforms.

When you face guys like him and Jacob deGrom and those kind of pitchers, you know when you wake up it's going to be a battle that night. When you face a power pitcher that can locate three plus-pitches, you know it's going to be tough. That's the thing, like he mentioned earlier, how he pitched tonight is probably not going to be how he pitches the next time.

So let's have a little heart-to-heart chat, you, the grieving and traumatized Jays fan, me, a fan who was on the wrong side of what was probably the best and most dramatic World Series until this one. Maybe I can help: You're screwed. You will never get over this. You will never fully recover. The sharp pain may age to a dull ache, but it will never go away.

1980 - Steve Carlton wins his third Cy Young Award after posting a 24-9 record with a 2.34 ERA and 286 strikeouts. Carlton joins Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver and Jim Palmer as the only pitchers with three Cy Young Awards. 1987 - San Diego Padres catcher Benito Santiago, who ended the season with a rookie-record 34-game hitting streak, is a unanimous selection as the National League Rookie of the Year.

The Puerto Rican utility man is versatile, talented, accomplished, - and above all else - motivated to win for his teammates. This is arguably the 'secret sauce' that has the Dodgers in a position to perennially compete for a World Series title, and largely why the team has won back-to-back titles. The players are selfless in playing for one another regardless as to what each player is making or what their role is on the ballclub.

Saturday, November 1st, 2025, the exit of a strenuous month of October baseball, and the berth of a showdown like no other. Game 7 of the World Series was scheduled with everything on the line, in a city that thirsts for a championship. Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers, winner takes all. One route to the stadium, the Blue Jays' flags flew in the windows of cars heading down the Don Valley Parkway.

and the city reposted it shortly after midnight, saying the last GO train from Union Station would be leaving soon. Reminder: we know the game is running late, but transit won't wait! the city said in a post. The game wrapped up shortly after 12 a.m. in a heartbreaking loss for the Blue Jays. About 40,000 people packed the sold-out Rogers Centre and watch parties were hosted across the city.

Tyler Glasnow recorded his first career save as the Los Angeles Dodgers held on for a 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 6 of the World Series. The right-hander inherited a difficult situation in the ninth inning as he entered with runners on second and third and no outs. Glasnow needed just one pitch to get Ernie Clement to pop out

Bichette, 27, only pinch hit in Game 2 after starting Game 1 at second, but Schneider indicated the former All-Star is ready to go as the series shifts to Los Angeles for Games 3, 4 and 5. "Expecting him to be in there," Schneider said on Sunday. "He's out here working out. Felt good coming out of yesterday [Game 2]. I think with each day that goes on, he'll probably get as close to normal as he can at this stage of the year."
