Congratulations Dodgers fans, I'm just upset that we not only fucked up the way that we did, but that we couldn't make most of the previous games competitive. Shit sucks but it is what it is.

Oh course they won, they had Anime on their side!
Not only the Hololive collaboration with Gura singing, Henya was supporting them!
Just like the Catholic Church, you want to win submit to Anime lol.
I know who the Japanese pulled for, and they had a bigger audience than the US
They love themselves some baseball, Japan and Taiwan was wild during WBC, come to think of it, it's been a good year for Japanese baseball fans.
Japan vs Korea is always an insane spectacle to watch.
My boss is Japanese. Great guy. He went from a huge Angels fan to a Dodgers fan immediately after they signed Ohtani, and he celebrated their WS win like he has been following the team since birth lol
There is a YouTuber called, Baseball Doesn't Exist, and he covered how insane Japanese fans are.

BDE is the goat of baseball Youtube.
Hang on, the Los Angeles Dodgers?
I admit I haven't watched baseball in a really really long time, but I thought the Dodgers were from Brooklyn.
Unless you're almost 90 years old, you have to be kidding, the Dodgers moved to LA in 1958.
I'm only a little behind.
Wow I thought they were from Brooklyn too! (don't watch baseball either)
Oh, I know what it is.
I've been digitizing my Looney Tunes collection. And I must've heard "Slide DiMaggio, Slide!" about a million times along with "And now coming to bat for the Brooklyn Dodgers is ... Joe DiMaggio!" I don't know which play by play announcer Daffy and Bugs were copying, but he must've said it a lot to be copied into several cartoons.
I probably should have clued in that these cartoons were made well before 1958.
I feel a little silly :)
FYI, DiMaggio played for the Yankees.
Unless the guys at Hanna-Barbara were intentionally getting the teams wrong, in that case it’s whatever
I was rooting for the yanks because I wanted the dodgers only recent WS title to be the mickey mouse title. I gotta go watch the replay to see if Cole would've made it to the bag for the 3rd out.
I just watched the replay, Rizzo should've sprinted to the bag, Betts was too fast and Cole knew it and think Rizzo is so close to the bag he could get there. But if Cole ran anyways Rizzo would realize that instead of getting stun-locked by confusion.
Lots of errors throughout the series, baserunning at times like they're controlled by someone who doesn't know the controls in a baseball game.
Outside of the WS it was a pretty exciting postseason.
The Yankees are the worst baserunning team in baseball, and are almost entirely built around the Three True Outcomes, so it makes sense, but that shouldn’t be happening as much, but we need to fire our infield coach and get a new one if we have this many errors.
I saw that. Freeman was great. Glad I have his rookie
Yay not the Yankees!
Maybe the Yankees need more money to be more good.

The TL;DR of this video is that the current Yankees just suck compared to the days of the Core Four, which isn't helped by the fact that Hal is way worse as an owner than George was.
