“This is not David vs Goliath. This is truly Goliath vs Goliath.” Alex Rodriguez talks about the 2025 World Series matchup
It’s Blue Jays vs. Dodgers
The Blue Jays are the Dodgers of baseball
In Canada
Highest payroll in the USA vs highest payroll in Canada
Seems fair
Don’t spin the story here.
It’s actually the highest payroll in the US (lol - stop. The Mets aren’t real) Vs. the LOWEST payroll in Canada
Sorry I thought New York was in the Middle East based on the mayoral race discourse
It is. It’s in the middle of the east coast
It’s also the lowest payroll of the MLB in Canada
Actually the Mets have the highest payroll
LA is the Toronto of California.
Toronto is the NYC of Canada

U of T in shambles from this post.
Big, if true.
You talmbout the Trolly Dodgers?
Everyone is going to stop pretending that a team that has hit 20 postseason home runs and has a *team* .523 SLG small balled their way to a pennant, right?
295/355/523 this post season as a team. And it’s not like they faced shitty pitching from the Yankees and Mariners.
im ngl, mariners pitching was kinda shitty this series
Well was the pitching shitty or the hitting good? One or both could be true
Baseball
Woah, this guy may be on to something.
Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
i mean from watching the series, i feel like the pitching was pretty bad
Pitching wasn’t great tbh. It’s nothing like what they’ll face against the Dodgers that’s for sure
Dodger bullpen imploding is the only chance the Jays have
The Jays bullpen is just as bad lmao
You mean the dodgers extra starters. Idk they’ve looked great.
The bullpen is iffy. Either lights out or sucks.
The dodgers do have better pitching, but not by a mile or anything. The Mariners pitchers looked good until they got to the jays, same with the Yankees pitchers. This lineup is able to make good pitchers look bad.
There is absolutely no basis for the claim made in one of the replies to you that the jays only have a chance against the dodgers bullpen. The dodgers pitchers don’t have far and away better numbers than Fried, Rodon, Gilbert, Schlittler, and those are all pitchers the jays got to during this playoff run.
Y’all acting like the jays will be shut out for the first 6-7 innings of every game isn’t any more reasonable than when people were saying this about Fried, Schlittler, or any of the other pitchers that were supposedly guaranteed to win against us.
Circular logic. It looked mediocre because the Jays are a tough lineup to pitch against.
Jays were #2 as a team in least amount of strikeouts all year, KC had 3 less than them & were #1 in most or all postseason hitting team stats.
Toronto has 71 runs in 2 series.
They were on fire for the better part of the last 2 months of the season. Springer, Vlad & Kirk hovered around .300 to end the year.
I think its more of the Jays are too good right now more so than M’s sucking.
it was both. M’s pulled out some early wins but the fatigue caught up a bit. arms weren’t as crisp and y’all are a bad team to make mistakes against
Was it shitty, or did the Blue Jays just execute better?
The Jays were only good at hitting the ball because the pitching was shitty.
The evidence that the pitching was shitty is, well just look how good the Jays were at hitting the ball!
/s
But the blue Jays have done this all year. They have a way of grinding down even the very best pitchers. We talk all the time about how it doesn’t really matter who’s on the mound
Outside observer here: the Mariners left A LOT of pitches out in the middle of the strike zone for much of the series.
Its small ball with power, that’s basically how they’ve been playing all year and its how they played in the playoffs.
They aren’t HR or bust, but they can get some slug out there and if the game script needs them to they can play small ball
The Jays at some point were 20-3 when they had a sacrifice bunt in a game
Your teams plate discipline got you better calls than the Mariners over the series.
Your team doesn’t chase hardly at all.
Ms chased hard and I think it expanded the umps zone.
You can slug, but you also just get on base.
They Jays only slug high because their average is high (Yankees series non-withstanding)
In terms of ISO the Jays were 12th this year, while being 1st in average and OBP. They were also t-11th in Home Runs.
This speaks to what I was talking about, they can generate runs with a couple singles, but they have just enough power that they can rely on the long ball to get them over the hump.
It felt like 1-6 the Mariners were home run or bust. The Jays have guys who can hit home runs but when they’re not they had good ABs especially those bottom of the order guys.
And the M’s 7-9 hitters were just bust no other option……lmao that was the difference in the series really was the bottom 3 on each team being night and day.
That to me was the difference. Mariners 7 through 9 is awful. Jays 7 8 9 are dangerous and make contact. The entire team doesn’t strike out either.
This lineup is a grind
Turns out it’s hard to win when you have 12 less outs to work with than your opponent. The rest of the team had a hell of a performance to keep the series within 1 run.
No, no they won’t
surely they will if the Blue Jays win the world series while hitting a bunch of home runs and slugging like this, right?
Listen these scrappy underdogs are going to play the game the right way, ok?
Just bringing their lunch pail to work
Gotta get pucks in deep.
Forecheck, backcheck, paycheque.
Two small budget teams getting scrappy
Thats very true, we’ve knocked out the 1 and 3 teams by home runs and now we’re facing 2 though. And they get on base better than Seattle and hit a pile of homers. The M’s also have 20 in the playoffs but we kept them to a lot of solo homers (though there was obviously a GS and a couple 3 run homers). I dont think we want any part of a home run derby with the Dodgers. We gotta string hits together and cash those runs. We left an absolute PILE on base and were pretty lucky it didnt bite us harder
Why dont other teams just slug .523. Are they stupid?
The jays were definitely more of the “small ball” team in the series though. Felt like the Mariners basically only scored of HR’s.
A Rod finds a metaphor and sticks with it.
A-rod’s metaphors are early and underrated. Take a look at these beautiful quotes.
“The Dodgers have become the New York Yankees of baseball.”
“Tiger Woods, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Aaron Judge. Wow.”
The “tiger Woods…” quote was so ridiculous at the time and just feels less ridiculous every year that passes. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Never forget when he said you want to have an even lead vs an odd lead.
Even leads are better and I can prove it.
Step 1: Pair every possible lead with the lead below it. 2 with 1, 4 with 3, etc.
Step 2: go through your list and note that in every instance, even leads are better than odd leads.
Step 3: conclude that in general, even leads are better than odd leads.
You know what…. He’s right.
We should give him a hat with random words in it. Whatever word he pulls, he has to build that year’s WS metaphor.
“Listen guys, this year is like no other year. This is…pulls scrap of paper from hat.. this is the gummy bears World Series. The steals and pitching clinic will be sweet, but you need some heart to the team. You need those hidden talents, the vitamins that sustain you after the sugar wears off in Game 3. And it’s all about portions, knowing when and where to bring the flavor without overdoing it and leaving your bullpen tired before we get into the real chewy part of the series.”
“…and the points don’t matter.”
What are you talking about? I’m incredibly excited to watch the Los Angeles Goliaths vs. the Toronto Goliaths this world series!
It’s actually more goliath vs. super goliath, because despite the Jays being a Top 5 payroll team, the Dodgers payroll is still almost double theirs (incl. luxury tax penalties)
Insanity
And yet there are people who think that only a salary floor (and not a floor + cap) is enough to restore season to season parity.
I’m not arguing that baseball doesn’t have good parity. It beats the NFL in that department, and maybe the NBA, but baseball is also a sport which is more accomodating to parity than basketball or especially football. That’s not the point. The point is, even with a salary floor, teams with higher revenue will *always* have a significant competitive advantage, without a salary cap. And the fact that so many people are completely okay with that makes no sense to me.
NBA has some of the best parity we’ve seen recently out of any sports league because of the apron rules. This is such a misinformed take
As a Bucks fan, I was upset with the introduction of the current apron rules a few years ago because it meant my favorite team couldn’t sign every free agent player who was willing to ring chase.
That sounds like exactly what would be good for baseball.
Fair enough. I’m a much more casual NBA fan than MLB fan, you would know better than me.
baseball is also a sport which is more accomodating to parity than basketball or especially football.
Parity shouldn’t be based on championships. It should be based on the teams that can compete for a championship. In NFL, this changes constantly. In NBA, this changes every couple years due to the new CBA and apron rules.
MLB’s saving grace for parity is its variance and playoff format but it’s usually the same teams over and over that have the best chance for a championship.
There was a point in time a little while ago (maybe 2014) where there were more NLCS series in the wildcard era with either the Cardinals or the Giants than there had been without.
Agreed. Yeah, small payroll teams make the postseason every year. But those teams get short 2-3 year contention windows bookended by 5 year rebuilds, while the large payroll teams can contend almost every year, with at worst the occasional “retool” year.
Regular people’s opinions on the salary cap don’t mean anything. The players union won’t vote for it in a million years so at this point it’s a pipe dream.
This is what I was thinking too. Don’t get it fucked up the Jay’s Roster is really good with some highly paid players but they have 7 guys making over 12 million dollars, the Dodgers have have 13. Also the Dodgers have 4 guys making over 26 million, the Jay’s have 1.
New to baseball: is there no salary cap in baseball??
No, they don’t they just have a luxury tax they call the “Competitive balance tax”. It starts at 241 million this year and has higher tiers at 261 million, 281, and 301 million. The higher tiers come with increasing penalties, including in the highest tier a 10 spot penalty on their highest draft pick.
Te tax rates also change depending on how many years in a row a teams in the tax.
There’s been talks of adding a salary cap and a cap floor in the new CBA but I doubt it happens
Blue Jays were in contention to sign Ohtani for a similar amount of money he is getting now and have a $500 million contract. They got money to spend if they actually wanted to, which is why they are a top 5 payroll team
Our team has single-handedly funded some of these broke ass teams for a decade now with the luxury tax.
Just paying your farm teams tbh
just like how California’s federal taxes funds the broke ass states.
All for them to somehow find a way to cry about it in both situations 😂😂
All of which I enjoy watching more than the Dodgers, so thanks.
Yo I feel you on Dodgers hate, but if you as an impartial bystander enjoy watching the likes of the Pirates and Rockies more than watching the Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, etc. then you do not like baseball lmao.
(incl. luxury tax penalties)
Holy, what a spin job. When do people ever count luxury tax payments when talking payroll? You only included it because you know the difference in payroll of the 2 isn’t as large. Our payroll is $50M more, the same difference between you and #11
EDIT: Should be $100M more, same as difference between jays and 17th place. I was looking at 2026, not 2025. Point still stands though
Euh… You’re showing the salaries for NEXT year. The difference for THIS year is 108 millions.
What you expect them to let some pesky facts get in the way of hating the Dodgers?
Counting our baseball welfare payments against us lol.
Are you looking at 2025? It’s more like 100M.
But are you comparing USD vs. CAD? /s
Alex Rodriguez is a ding dong but the Jays were the #1 seed and also have a pretty sizeable payroll by rank. Obviously nothing like the Dodgers, though.
They are also both owned by billion-dollar corporations, play in 2 of the biggest markets on the continent (#3 and#7), both have top 5 payrolls, and they have players with the #2 and #3 biggest contracts in baseball. Yes, the Dodgers absolutely have the bigger payroll, but the Jays did give Vladdy $500 million with no deferrals and were willing to give Ohtani the exact same contract he took with the Dodgers. Just like last year, this WS is another battle of the big-market, big-payroll teams.
The ownership for the Jays gets to double dip since they’re the largest cable TV provider in Canada.
Rogers must be raking in the cash this postseason. Beyond getting the usual split of the US playoff broadcast revenue, they also hold the Canadian rights to playoff games for which they probably get to pocket nearly every dollar. The ad dollars, while not at the level of the US have to be substantial with more than 10% of the whole country watching
Yep, when you can capture profit from every step of the Blue Jays ecosystem investing in a competitive team is just good business.
This is about the only benefit i can think of from our telecomms oligopoly.
As a Canadian, the “Proudly Owned by Rogers” banners they have all over the broadcast are ridiculous.
Owners: “Proudly owned by Rogers”
Fans: “Shamefully owned by Rogers”
Rogers isn’t great but I love seeing the team I root for spending with the big boys. Feels good after 20+ years of phoning it in.
There is 1 statue outside of the ballpark and guess who it is lol
To be fair to Rogers, they only have about 45,000 square feet of room outside the stadium, where are they going to find an extra 10 for another statue.
Jays are one of 5 teams that likely oppose a salary cap too.
(#3 and#7)
This is how I just now learned that Mexico City is larger than New York, damn
It’s the oldest major city on this hemisphere, it makes sense.
The weird part to me is that it can be that highly populated without being near any major waterways.
Tbf it was built on a decent sized lake, the giant city has since replaced it
Sure, but I was thinking more about trade. Most major cities are along waterways with eventual ocean access.
I’m sure some of the lake’s tributaries made it out to the ocean at some point. Even then, it was such a big lake and more or less the center of civilization, most of the big cities in modern Mexico were just dotted around the lake. Part of the Aztec founding myth, was the lake was so packed with other cities, there was no shoreline for them. So they built on the shittiest, reediest part of the lake, making their own island, cause it was the only space left.
I guess it helps that it’s pretty much right in the middle of both coasts and Mexico isn’t as expansive as the US that allows for trade to still be relatively easy. I also think Lake Texcoco set it up for significance even if it doesn’t really exist anymore.
Always has been, it’s also higher in elevation than Denver.
It’s funny how people always give that “they have the whole country behind them” qualifier when they talk about Toronto being a big-market team. Obviously it’s true, but Toronto itself is the third-biggest city in the league! (Sixth by metro pop.)
What are you basing market size off of? Canada counts their metro areas very differently than the U.S. Toronto has an almost identical population to Chicago’s metro area if you look at the greater golden horseshoe area in Ontario, which is similar in geographical size to Chicago’s metropolitan area.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_North_American_metropolitan_areas_by_population
Which looks like it refers to the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area, which ropes in some of the surrounding area, but not Hamilton or the southern part of the horseshoe.
Ohh I see. Not that this matters but the Toronto metro area according to that is just over 7000 km2 while all the 4 US metros ahead of Toronto, outside of New Yorks 12,093 km2, have huge metro areas ranging from 23,000 km2 all the way to LA’s 87,000 km2. I just found it interesting the size differences.
It looks like the definition for the Greater LA area is including all of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, which is pretty ridiculous. Those counties are massive and stretch all the way to the Nevada and Arizona borders.
Saying they both have top 5 payrolls is a nice way of saying #1 and #5. The gap between the dodgers and jays is \(100MM. That includes Shohei with all the deferred money. Teams with \)100M less than Toronto: Kansas City, Baltimore, Minnesota, Detroit. It’s a big gap.
We also have a bunch of AAA players in the line up and a kid who has made like 3 appearances before the playoffs.
Ok but that’s just like plenty of other big spenders too, it’s the Dodgers that are the exception
The brewers were a 1 seed
Sure were, slugger.
In the end, the real World Series was the Goliaths we made along the way
Holy motherforking shirtballs
I’m still laughing. I’m gonna be laughing tomorrow too.
Everyone forgets that my boy David actually won the fight. he gets no respect
“It’s like David vs Goliath but this time David wins.”
David had a plan, a mission, and executed it to perfection and everyone just talks about the guy he beat. It’s bs
Not to mention David basically pulled antiquity’s version of this
Like ancient slings are fucking deadly in the right hands and David was using one regularly to keep wild animals away from livestock. Tiny dense object being shot at a very high speed? That is basically a bullet.
So Goliath chose the wrong loadout?
He got literally headshot lmao
Skill issue
He had a great mele build, but the guy had an OP ranged weapon. 360 NoScoped.
It’s really Goliath vs Slightly Smaller Goliath
Marlins vs Rockies type beat
It’s Goliath vs Galactus
The Blue Jays aren’t some lovable small market team. They are a massive corporation run by billionaires in a huge city. I don’t know where this idea that they are lovable scamps comes from.
At the end of the day it’s big baseball vs big baseball. One team just so happens to be in Canada while the other plays in the red white and blue.
Who will you root for?
I think the narrative moreso comes from the fact that Toronto was supposed to be a floundering, last place team with a bunch of overpaid guys who played losing baseball.
That’s the Mets job.
Yah I think if you asked anyone at the start of the season, the Jays were not in the picture to go this far. Whether we’d be battling for playoff spot was the real question. But they figured it out, and figured it out big time.
Start of the season? It was into June before we started to get serious about clawing our way off the bottom.
Oh the Canadian team for sure
As an American I too will be rooting for the Canadian team out of principal.
Big if true
The big difference to me is the Jays lineup is basically the island of misfit toys.
Barger and Schneider were unheralded prospects who spent 7 years in the minors.
Lukes was drafted in 2015 and didn’t exhaust his rookie eligibility until this season.
Clement was waived by Cleveland and Oakland.
IKF was waived by Pittsburgh this season.
Springer looked spectacularly washed last year.
And then you’ve got a rotation featuring a guy who started the year in A-ball, a 41-year-old, and a guy who pitched a total of 23 innings from July 10, 2023 through August 21, 2025.
It’s a modern-day moneyball, the whole is so much more than the sum of its parts.
Even Myles Straw, who came over as a throw-in in a trade that was really for international signing pool space when we were trying to get Sasaki, has played a massive part.
Even Jeff Hoffman was an Orioles reject that the Jays picked up.
That 41 year old is a godamn psychopath. Not to be taken lightly.
Plus many pre-season predictions had Toronto finishing 4th or 5th in their own division, nobody predicted Jays in the WS
Also when the playoffs started they were consistently lowest 1 or 2 for % chance to win the WS. It’s weird that the narrative is trying to be changed like oh of course the jays were a goliath of a team.
Literally I think the idea comes from Americans barely remembering that Canada exists
(Or just being unaware that metro Toronto is practically tied with metro Chicago in population).
They are a massive corporation run by billionaires in a huge city
That applies to pretty much every professional sports team in the US outside of… the Green Bay Packers?
I think only like 5 MLB owners have net worth of less than \(1 billion, and everyone is over like \)500 Million.
The point still stands though that The Blue Jays have the 2nd richest owner.
It’s been a pet peeve to hear Toronto called a small market at all. It’s the 4th largest city in North America. It’s bigger than Chicago. It’s legitimately a huge city by any measure. People talk about it like it’s Sacramento.
Combined with the fact that it’s Canada’s only baseball team so that’s going to add way more non local fans than any American team
I think we’re arguing semantics between “small market” and “non-destination market”. Toronto isn’t a small market, but we do have a hell of a hard time attracting big free agents. It’s not as bad in baseball as it is in basketball as the Jays will sign the occasional aging star but evidence has shown that the Ohtani/Soto/Betts of this world will never sign here.
For me there’s still a narrative that American born players don’t want to play in Canada. Baseball has a huge international contingent so it feels more competitive for those guys when we’re throwing money around. When Springer was signed most people felt like the contract was too long but it’s what the Jays needed to offer to get him.
In the NBA it definitely feels like there’s some “Canada” factor that makes recruiting free agents difficult. There were players upset that we don’t have ESPN (we do) and all sorts of things like this.
That being said this is just a big market vs. a bigger market team.
In the NBA it definitely feels like there’s some “Canada” factor that makes recruiting free agents difficult
I think it’s mostly that guys know if they play on the Raptors they have to hang out with Drake and a lot guys just don’t wanna do that
Yeah. At least with the Blue Jays you can hang out with Geddy Lee. Huge upgrade.
True but on the other hand it’s a team that hasn’t been to the WS for 32 years vs. a team that’s been in the WS like 8 of the last 10 years.
It’s because some of the actual players are loveable scamps who toiled in the minors and weren’t supposed to do much of anything ever, let alone this year or in the playoffs.
And the rest are just loveable.
Bullocks. You know who’s a lovable scamp?
THIS GUY:
I don’t know where this idea that they are lovable scamps comes from.
Probably from the actual loveable scamps like Ernie Clement, Nathan Lukes, Addison Barger, Davis Schneider, etc.
I think these TV analysts are given a mandate to try and hype the WS up by claiming that it’s going to be this super even match-up that no one can predict, because that draws more viewers than if the narrative is just, “Obviously the Dodgers are going to win.”
Which is not to say that the Blue Jays aren’t a Goliath, but the Dodgers are still clearly a step above them in terms of payroll and obviously we know what a game breaker Ohtani can be. It’s not that I don’t think the Blue Jays can win, but it seems disingenuous to act like there’s not a clear favorite.
Honestly this panel has been hamming up the blue jays since the yankees series. I truly think they like toronto baseball
It’s kinda fun seeing Jeter fall in love with how the Jays play. He admitted having not watched much of them in the regular season during the Yankees series, and was surprised at how they play during that Yankees series (grind at bats, get hits with 2 outs, hit for contact, decent depth at pitching). After that, he’s watched how they’ve continued that from game 3 to game 7 of the Mariners series.
On the same show, Jeter said that the Dodgers are the heavy favorite.
Fangraphs has the Dodgers chances at about 60 percent give or take. Makes them the clear favorites, sure, but doesn’t that essentially mean if you ran this series 100 times you could expect the Dodgers to win about 60 times and the Blue Jays to win about 40? Doesn’t seem crazy to think the Blue Jays have a pretty competitive shot at winning. This isn’t like some lopsided NBA Finals matchup from the 2000s or something.
I think these TV analysts are given a mandate to try and hype the WS up by claiming that it’s going to be this super even match-up that no one can predict,
I feel the same about the “suffering” narrative that had been built up by the media between the Toronto and Seattle fanbases. Sure 32 years without going to the World Series is rough, but they casually leave out the fact that Toronto won back to back World Series’ at that time. How is that even remotely comparably to 49 years of sheer misery?
Because people 30 and younger only know the bad times. I’m 40 and dgaf about the 93 jays.
Multiple generations passing before championships still a big deal
Tbh the two guys I’m more scared of is Freddie Freeman and Snell. Both of those fools are crazy, Snell will win you a World Series game by himself so that’s one, and Freeman is such an insane producer that to me he he’s a tough out and the most intimidating guy to get out, he just makes it happen. Ohtani is Ohtani, but there’s definitely times where he may strike out more than he should. Hopefully this isn’t my version of Max Kellerman’s Iguadala speech, but Freeman is who I’m most scared of with the game on the line, and this is coming from a Giants fan.
I feel like it’s not really either of those tbh.
Acting like this is an even matchup is insane. Jays are definitely playing good ball and have a chance to win, but if the Dodgers lose it will be an upset.
It’s neither perfectly even nor lopsided. Vegas says about 60-40 dodgers for the whole series, so each individual game is even closer than that on average.
How can you not be romantic about Goliathball?
I mean its not. Jays were picked to be either 4th or last in the division, Most of the money is wrapped up in the back end of contracts meant to get them here years ago or injured/ineffective players like Santander. You also could make a case that the Dodgers have more talent at every single position besides 1B, and even then Freddie Freeman has a case. Dodgers are also about as heavy of a favorite as you will ever see.
Its also definitely not David vs Goliath though. Rogers has money and has spent it recently and there are household names. Maybe Goliath vs. another clumsier Goliath who is going through puberty and doesn’t know how his body works yet?
Go Fightin’ Goliaths!
The Blue Jays are 5th in payroll, it’s just that the Dodgers are first and above 2nd by a wide margin.
Baseball being what it is, this World Series is a coin flip. I don’t think anyone should really ever be surprised by the result of a World Series, actually. Seven games is way too short to tell the difference between two teams good enough to make the World Series.
Back in the olden days, players cared more about the pennant than the WS for that reason. Winning the pennant meant emerging as the best team after ~150 games. The WS was just a short series between some guys they never faced.
This actually makes sense
This will never happen given how North American sports culture is, but I wish being a regular season division or league champion carried as much weight and prestige as winning the World Series. A 100-win division winner shouldn’t have their season discounted because they’re bounced in playoffs. I wouldn’t get rid of the playoffs, they’re very fun, but they shouldn’t have to be the end all, be all.
The “only thing that matters is championships” has ruined so much of sports culture. Just because my team didn’t win doesn’t mean I’m not going to remember seasons or even games within bad seasons fondly.
Basketball is the worst for this. Literally every conversation comes down to rings. It’s such a casual and lazy take on sports performances
I don’t think there’s any playoff result that should be shocking. The most lopsided matchup was maybe dodgers/reds and even that could have easily gone differently in a best-of-3.
Even recently, we’ve seen Dodgers teams with way better records get bounced immediately in the NLDS. That’s baseball!
Canada winning 2 World Series (1993&2025) before winning another Stanley Cup would be truly hilarious
Don’t forget an NBA championship in there too.
Spiderman versus Megatron would be a more appropriate metaphor
Or Bowser vs Godzilla.
Or King Kong vs Aquaman.
Or ten bears vs twenty coyotes and a hippo
Hippos hit dingers
A-Rod makes my rod sad
Blue Jays are one of the top teams in spending, contrary to what some guys were trying to push after the alcs about them being “the lowest payroll” they aren’t even close to the lowest, this isn’t David vs Goliath in any terms
Blue Jays won their division and had the most wins in the AL, they won more games than the Dodgers, this is a good team, only casual fans are viewing this like a lopsided underdog story, the same thing they did when the Pacers faced the Thunder in the NBA finals
I feel like he said the same exact thing last year
It’s \(700M vs \)500M players.
Respectfully disagree. 2⁄3 of their starting lineup are All Stars, and 1⁄3 of it are Hall of Famers.
I hope this is actually a good series. Last year WS was pretty over after game 3.
What a deep thought lol
It’s true, the Blue Jays one of the highest payrolls and a great roster, it’s hardly an underdog story or some scrappy over performer
Arod and Jeter, two Yankees fools.
Felt like Blue Jays had the best shot out of everybody to knock off the Dodgers this year. Well that feeling didnt arise until mid-July but still lol.
This World Series has potential to be an all-time classic. HOF pitching going up against intelligent, patient hitters. Star power up and down the roster. Could this be one of the highest scoring World Series ever?
