Scott pilgrim vs the world game
Game 1 of the 2024 World Series featured an all-time great baseball moment. No Dodgers fan will ever forget it, and it was memorable enough that it will honestly live long in the minds of all neutral fans who happened to be watching https://nathaan-gem-jewelry.com/.
This iconic baseball rivalry has so many layers of history. The Dodgers organization first began in Brooklyn, and these teams battled in many a “Subway Series” before the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. This marks the 12th World Series matchup between the two historic ball clubs.
Los Angeles last won the Commissioner’s Trophy in 2020, while New York has yet to win a World Series pennant since 2009. The Yankees and Dodgers rank as two of the winningest teams in MLB history, combining for 34 World Series wins.
“We’re going to get some tests at some point tonight, tomorrow, and then we’ll know more in the next couple days,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “But the strength was great. The range of motion, good. So we’re encouraged.”
World series game
Drafted by the Braves in 2007, and called up in September of 2010, Freeman has spent more than a decade with the franchise, a run that included a handful of lean years. But Freeman stayed true to the team that chose him, and in Game 6 the Atlanta veteran chipped in with a 5th inning RBI double. Two frames later, Freeman put a stamp on what is likely a Hall of Fame resume, belting the Braves’ third homer of the game, and extending Atlanta’s lead to 7-0.
The Japanese right-hander threw 6.1 innings while allowing just one hit — a Juan Soto solo home run — with two walks and four strikeouts. Two of those came against AL MVP favorite Aaron Judge, who finished the night 0-4 with three strikeouts. Judge has struggled mightily this postseason, entering Saturday’s matchup with a .154 batting average and striking out three times on Friday.
With a 3-0 series lead and three homers to his name, Freeman is about as close to a lock for World Series MVP as you can be at this point in a series. And this really is the story of the series. The Dodgers’ stars are playing like stars, and the Yankees’ stars are not. Los Angeles is also playing better defense, getting better starting pitching, and getting more from the bottom of the lineup. So yeah.

Game 2 world series
The Dodgers hope to get similar length from Game 2 starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto that they got from Jack Flaherty, who pitched into the sixth in the opener. There’s an off-day after Game 2, but with a bullpen day looming in the middle of the Series, the Dodgers don’t want to overexpose their relievers.
The Dodgers outbid several teams (including the Yankees) to sign Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the three-time reigning MVP in Japan, and it was for moments like this: to shut down one of the highest scoring offenses in baseball in a World Series game. The regular season is important, for sure, but games like Game 2 is why the Dodgers gave Yamamoto a record $325 million contract.
“Honestly, my head wasn’t the problem. It just smoked my jaw pretty good,” Realmuto said. “It’s probably not going to be very easy for me to eat dinner tonight, but as long as my head’s OK, I’ll be good to go.”
While the Dodgers will now take a crucial 2-0 advantage to New York, they might do it with far less star power. NL MVP favorite Shohei Ohtani, who became the first player in baseball history to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in one season, left the game in the seventh inning after suffering a left shoulder injury on a stolen base attempt.
