not redeemed with gold but with His Blood
The dodgers are the oldest team in the MLB. They only have one position player in their starting lineup under the age of 30
I don’t expect them to win a war of attrition against a motivated, energetic, resilient, fresher and younger Blue Jays team. This is the first deep playoff run for this young Blue Jays core of players. They won their First AL pennant since 1993. In comparison, This dodgers team with their core players (betts, muncy, will smith, ohtani, kike Hernandez etc) also went to multiple NLCS/WS many times in the last decade. They got damage, baggage, wear and tear from previous playoff runs. They are old, jaded and mentally/physically tired by now at this point.
I think the 18-inning game did more harm to the Dodgers than it did the Jays because of their aging and tired roster . Game 3 was a pyrrhic victory for Los Angeles. They won that battle( game) but might ultimately lose the war( world series) at the end. This series is far from being over yet.
Pyrrhic victory - Wikipedia
Their usual starting batting order/hitting lineup from 1 to 9 spot for the Dodgers:
Lead off hitter and Pitcher 1. Shohei Ohtani is 31
2. Shortstop Mookie Betts is 33
3. First baseman Freedie Freeman is 36
4. Catcher will smith is 30
5. Right outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is 33
6. Third baseman Max Muncy is 35
7. Second baseman Tommy Edman is 30
8. Left outfielder Enrique kike Hernandez is 34
9. Center fielder Andy pages is 25
Andy Pages, Their least impactful hitter, their #9 hitter in the batting order Andy pages is by far their youngest starting position player lol
Their Starting pitchers:
Left-handed pitcher Blake snell and right handed pitcher Tyler glasnow are both 32
Right handed pitcher Shohei ohtani is 31
Right handed pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto is 27
Their Bullpen closers/relievers:
RHP Rori Sasaki is 23
LHP Clayton Kershaw is 37
RHP Will klein is 25
LHP Anthony banda is 31
RHP Blake treinen is 37
LHP Justin wrobelski is 25
LHP Jack Dreyer is 26

It's all about the inches
In the 18th inning. Which essentially will probably turn out to be meaningless if they go on to lose the series. At one point they walked Mooie to get to Freddie. That was the ultimate disrespect imo
Yup which is why we have to resign bo bichette

He has, but dude is a box of chocolates ala Forrest Gump. No dodger fan goes into a game even expecting him to get a hit. So when he does its like
