Kenley Jansen is damn near enshrined in every one of these playoff moments

2017 WS Gm 5
2020 WS Gm 4

Two of the greatest WS games I've watched. Joe Buck incredible calls in both of them

 

[pmatic]

He should kill himself first.

Former Astros minor league great and trade piece Brett Phillips and he got hoed by the ump on those 2 strikes.

Dodgers chiefed that one bad wow

Maybe the Astros worst trade ever.

Maybe the Astros worst trade ever.

Easily Luhnow's worst move as a GM. Gomez/Fiers for Phillips, Houser, and Hader. YUCK

Kenley Jansen the West Coast version of Aroldis Chapman. How does he not back up home plate there

Chapman can still get some outs though. Kenley straight garbage

Both regular season closing gawds and chokers in the playoffs. Kenley had been dealing well too, that meaningless HR he gave up the other night to Randy gave him and the Rays confidence

Kenley quietly been trash in the regular season too. Not so much this year but a long way from 2017. And yeah that HR was big for the rays and arozarena plus Kenley already a mental ****** so that.

why can’t we have nice things

Not sure it would have mattered as the ball hit the umpire in the leg and shot a different direction.

man was on the third base side
but i dont think it would have made a difference. not enough time to run after the ball and toss it to the catcher

yeah i don't think it would've made a difference either but it's besides the point. dude was really defeated, just gave up on that play

Remember arozarena stumbled and fell there was time to pick up the ball after the drop if he had been backing up smith and force randy back to third

Liam def going to be a dodger next year.

Dodgers are honestly still in great position barring a mental collapse. Been the way better team, but I wonder if the 2 out runs are going to start to show some variance soon.

Dodgers have a +7 run differential but the series is 2-2. ****ing baseball

 

[dland24]

the dodgers catcher was the one who messed things up really lol

I mean.....

A) s**t 1-2 pitch
B) outfielder kicking the ball
C) no communication by the entire infield to let Muncy and Smith know that Randy had fallen (partially Smiths fault here too)
D) s**t relay throw by Muncy
E) Smith misses the ball

So I guess I categorically disagree with you that this was Will Smith who messed everything up.

 

[lightweight champion]

If Taylor doesn’t kick it in CF does Arozarena even round 3rd? I don’t think he does. Taylor really screwed that up.
