00:00From downtown Toronto for the first time in 32 years the World Series comes to
00:06Canada it's one team that everybody saw coming the defending champion Los Angeles
00:11Dodgers and one that nobody outside of Canada saw coming to Toronto Blue Jays
00:16it's the powerful Dodgers and Mookie Betts and Max Muncy and this loaded
00:21lineup they have four aces against a team that's gonna roll out a 22 year old
00:26rookie game one starter and an injured shortstop playing second base people
00:30are describing this as David versus Goliath curious if you see your team as
00:34the Goliath or David I mean hey they're from the East and that's the AL East I
00:40think the one thing we cannot do is look over there and say that is Goliath that
00:45is a beatable baseball team that has its flaws and that has its really really
00:49good strengths the great thing about baseball is anything can happen this is
00:52say it's gonna be a great series these guys are on a high right now we're
00:57expecting a battle I'll put this group of 26 up against anybody and they're
01:02looking forward to taking on what is on paper the best team in baseball that is
01:07playing really well right now and I don't think they'd have it any other way how
01:10about this for game one of the World Series it is Trey is savage who started
01:14this season in a ball he didn't even get to the big leagues until about a month
01:17ago at 22 years old he's the second youngest pitcher to start game one of the
01:22the World Series go get him kid yeah go get him with that fastball and that
01:26splitter well tiny one of the clinching game of the championship series hitting
01:31just 158 for the postseason and what changed Dave Roberts said he got sick of
01:36hearing everybody say he couldn't hit anymore he got him yes savage punches out
01:40Ohtani welcome to the World Series he got him on a splitter one down there's not
01:45many people in Major League Baseball that can make Ohtani look like that an awkward
01:50swing way out in front he threw a few good fastballs and then at bat and then
01:56mixes in the split finger there it looked exactly like a fastball right down the
02:00middle and then broke below the strike zone what a pitch Dave Dave and Cheryl over
02:04there his parents perfectly caught the payoff to Mookie Betts bouncing ball
02:08Jimenez to a Freddie Freeman to the plate with two out World Series MVP last year of course game
02:16one is when he ended it with a walk off Grand Slam bounce gently right side to Boba shed and the
02:22kid has them rocking to the one two three first... It's Blake now for the Dodgers who
02:26finished the minimum over it's Florida cities in Game 1 of the championship series the last time
02:32somebody did that in the postseason
02:33Don Larson's perfect game in 1956
02:37there's no better feeling of a
02:39pitcher when you're in rhythm in
02:40that groove you don't care who
02:41you're facing you're connected
02:42with all your pitches and I think
02:44for the same thing tonight if he's
02:45fastball command is on it's going
02:47to be tough even for one of the
02:48best offenses in baseball the
02:50Toronto Blue Jays two up and two
02:52down in this first inning here
02:53comes Vlad Guerrero Jr. 442 twice
02:58as many home runs as he has
03:00strikeouts in this postseason I
03:02don't know the last time I saw a
03:04guy this time of year look this
03:06locked in yeah you're gonna have a
03:07hard time getting them out up you're
03:09gonna get them out down if you get
03:10them out it's gonna be down high a
03:12dream of for a guy that signs the
03:14big contract five hundred million
03:16dollar deal that started this
03:17season season that starts with a
03:19big contract ends in the fall
03:21classic another payoff taken for
03:23the Jays have the first base
03:26runner of the game who last played
03:29on September 6th when he injured his
03:31knee at Yankee Stadium not only is
03:33he back he's plugged right into the
03:35cleanup spot a green light and a
03:37roller that'll sneak through for a
03:39base hit into right field Guerrero
03:42heads for third Hernandez's throw not
03:44close to in time and the Jays have
03:46him cornered in the first welcome
03:48back Boba Shea I can fall out of bed
03:51and hit one of a kind catcher of the
03:53Blue Jays right here Alejandro Kirk
03:55takes ball four bases loaded and
03:58Blake Snell begging to get out of
04:00this first inning he's already
04:02offered 25 pitches right away the
04:05theme again for this series runners
04:07in scoring position two outs is
04:10fried in the center field Andy Pajas
04:13comes on and Blake Snell gets out of
04:15this bases loaded jam now Trey
04:17Savage it's only six starts but if he
04:19had enough data in there to qualify
04:21he would have the highest chase rate
04:23of anybody in baseball so he's
04:25relied on teams to be aggressive
04:27his 3-1 is taken for ball for the
04:30Dodgers have their first base runner
04:32on a lead off walk from Smith this
04:34whole Dodger lineup really good at
04:36being disciplined the Savage in his
04:39last start I was against the
04:40Seattle team opposite end of the
04:41spectrum extra aggressive but the
04:43Dodgers have always prided themselves
04:45on not chasing not going out of the
04:47strike zone Hernandez now leading
04:49off first Guerrero holds him on in
04:50the pitch to Max Muncy shoots one to
04:53left field a base hit and the first
04:54one of the game for the Dodgers Max
04:57Muncy who is just one for twelve in
04:58the championship series has a single
05:00to put him in first and second this
05:02is the part of the lineup that if
05:04they produce it all for the Dodgers
05:05they're going to be really hard to
05:07beat that's up to middle and through
05:09base hit center field from Hernandez
05:11Teoscar Hernandez comes home the
05:14Dodgers are on the board first KK
05:16Hernandez postseason player gives
05:20the Dodgers the first lead of the
05:22World Series another slider over the
05:24middle of the plate you cannot live
05:26there with the Dodgers you cannot
05:27have to make an adjustment when the
05:34Dodgers realize he doesn't have his
05:36fastball or not willing to go to
05:37his fastball a lot they can sit on
05:39the off speed pitches Tommy Edmund is
05:41a switch hitter that occasionally
05:43very occasionally will bat righty
05:46righty and he does that here to try
05:48and take away that splitter taps it
05:50along third and no play for Ernie
05:52Clement an infield single for Tommy
05:54Edmund to load the bases Trey is
05:56Savage is in a tough spot here the
05:58bases are loaded with one out and
06:00Shohei Ohtani is on deck so you'd
06:02love a ground ball on Andy Pires right
06:04now so you don't have to face Ohtani
06:06in this huge jam three and two on
06:08Pires nowhere to put him with Ohtani
06:10on deck here it comes he struck him
06:13out slider gets Pahez two away well he
06:17saved his best slider that really took
06:21off down well here we go with the
06:24bases loaded it's Shohei Ohtani
06:26struck out with a splitter his first
06:28time grounder fair Guerrero beats him
06:32to the bag and the Savage limits the
06:34damage to one Dodgers in front one to
06:37nothing here in game one to the
06:38bottom of the second Ernie Clement is
06:41hooked into shadow left field and a
06:42base hit and that's what he's done
06:44all postseason swings at everything
06:46it doesn't matter if it's in the
06:47middle but it matter if it's a foot
06:49off of the ground Ernie Clement's not
06:51met a pitch he doesn't like strikes
06:53him out first of the game for Snell
06:55the one gone in the second inning
06:58check swing hit the bat at strike
07:00three that's a foul tip for strike
07:02three rather unfortunate there he
07:05held his swing but just barely
07:07nicked the ball two down runner on
07:09first one nothing Dodgers in the
07:11pitch to Springer spring over the
07:12cue shot the first Freeman has no
07:14play at second turns and throws
07:16the first it's not in time throw to
07:18third they got him heads up play
07:22Ernie Clement in a chaotic play
07:24is thrown out trying to go from
07:26first to third a cue shot off the
07:28end of the bat again Freddie
07:30Freeman range and he was right
07:32wanted to go to second to get
07:33Clement but nobody was on the bag
07:35and so he turned around fire back
07:38to first but Snell he missed the
07:40bag at first but he heads up
07:42threw down to Muncie at third and
07:44they tag out Clement on an ugly
07:46place Springer got to first in
07:48time but Clement gambles for 90
07:50feet and the Dodgers make him
07:52paid and it's back to back walks to
07:54open the third and John Schneider's
07:55got to start to think about how
07:56soon he wants to get that bullpen
07:58going and so now Will Smith who
08:00drew the first of the three walks
08:01that he's issued his payoff is
08:04poked through the right side of
08:05base hit for Smith here comes
08:07Betts straws throw goes into
08:09second and they've got Freeman
08:10hung up here comes a tag from
08:12Clement running back to the bag it
08:14is two to nothing Dodgers Will
08:16Smith drives in Mookie Betts
08:18Freddie with a rare base running
08:20error and this is just again good
08:22hitting by a Dodgers team that has
08:25really put his savage in a tough
08:27spot and Freddie went past the bag
08:30thinking there might be a throw
08:32home but it wasn't and this is a
08:33good play by throwing it right to
08:35second base and now he's stuck
08:37it's been an edge for the Blue
08:38Jays and every series they've
08:40played in the defense really good
08:42has been all year and helped his
08:44savage out right here so man at
08:45second one away for Tasker Hernandez
08:48grounds one towards the middle
08:49the ship with a backhand quick
08:51trigger throw to first you'd never
08:52know he's never played there in
08:54the big leagues that was such an
08:57outstanding play you know he's
08:59got to be a little careful and
09:00we talked about his knee running
09:02won't be the big issue it's these
09:04kind of plays you see the effort
09:06you see the throw and a big out
09:09with two outs and a runner on
09:10third Max Muncie is up swinging a
09:13miss he got him got him to fish
09:14for a splitter way outside gives
09:17up a run in the inning but
09:18considering he walked the first
09:20two pretty good recovery from
09:22Trey is savage it's two nothing
09:23Dodgers snow has 17 consecutive
09:26scoreless innings he's put up
09:28zeros in 23 of his 24 innings
09:30this postseason eighth pitch to
09:32Kirk swatted towards the right
09:34field corner Hernandez turns and
09:36watches this one hit off the wall
09:38holds him to a single Teoscar guns
09:41it in and Kirk who has many
09:44wonderful traits speed is not one
09:46of them settles for a lead off
09:48single chase fans are saying wait
09:50a minute we watch you streak in
09:51from second to score that run in
09:53the championship series what we got
09:55Varshow in the air to center field
09:58Pajas going back turns watches and
10:02it's gone and tied on the board in the
10:07World Series Dalton Varshow with a
10:10two run homer 2-2 Blue Jays and
10:13Dodgers in the fourth and they are
10:16human Chris the Dodgers put their
10:18pants on just like everyone else
10:20Dalton Varshow goes left on left and
10:22takes out Snell to center Blake Snell
10:25has been very tough on left-handed
10:27hitters Dalton Varshow doesn't care
10:29about that stat he gets the fastball
10:32and he rips that thing out to
10:35center field what a swing from him we
10:37have ourselves a ball game and
10:38that's why Trey you Savage getting
10:40through those tough innings is so
10:42important he was able to give this
10:45offense a chance and here we are 2-2
10:47in the bottom of the fourth inning
10:48it's Bichette Kirk and Varshow for
10:50the Blue Jays here in the sixth
10:51inning to do the same thing they did
10:53in game seven of the championship
10:55series come back and win a lead off
10:57walk for Bichette and here comes
11:00Isaiah Kiner-Falefa with Bichette on
11:02first in that run meaning so much
11:04they are going to run for Bo Bichette
11:06here go ahead run aboard for the
11:07Jays Kirk bounces one through base
11:11in right field counter for left
11:15stops at second Kirk has been on
11:18all three times in this game go
11:20ahead run into scoring position
11:21in a chain warming in the Dodgers
11:23right field bullpen we're tied at
11:25two for how long first and second
11:28for the Jays nobody out and
11:29Dalton Varshow fathers and sons
11:32we know about Vlad and Bo Bichette
11:34Dalton's dad Gary was in the big
11:36leagues named him after his old
11:37teammate and Darren Dalton great
11:40job by Varshow to stay alive he's
11:44doing what the Jays do just so hard
11:46to put away Blake Snell was
11:48getting misses on about half his
11:49swings in the postseason coming
11:51in that's down to 20 percent
11:53tonight Varshow paid the price
12:00or would have put him on anyways
12:02his ball four and the Jays have
12:05loaded the bases against Blake
12:07Snell with nobody out that's the
12:09last pitch that Snell will throw and
12:11a guy who is historically dominant
12:13the first three starts of this
12:14postseason meets a different kind
12:16of match tonight that machine for
12:18Ernie Clement tie game bases loaded
12:21nobody out swinging a liner
12:23through in the left center in to
12:25score IKF station to station go the
12:28Blue Jays Kirk into third up to
12:30second Varshow Ernie Clement gives
12:32the Blue Jays their first lead of the
12:34series 3-2 bottom of the six the game
12:37won this guy just continues to come
12:39through in big situations not trying
12:42to do too much a lot of guys would try
12:46for the big hit that hit in the gap or
12:48even a grand slam in that situation
12:50not Ernie Clement he was trying to go up
12:53the middle all he was doing was going
12:56station to station moving the line and
12:59giving Nathan Lucas who's now pinch
13:01hitting a chance to drive in another run
13:03now another 3-2 he's walked in and it's
13:074-2 Toronto Kirk can walk home it's 4-2 Blue Jays
13:13still bases loaded still nobody out in the
13:16the bottom of the sixth well just like
13:18Ernie Clement before him he is not a
13:21selfish player doing everything for his
13:23team he is okay taking the walk taking
13:27the RBI and getting to first base and
13:30allowing Andres Jimenez to come up to
13:32the plate with the bases loaded and
13:33still nobody out in this inning
13:35base hit to right field from Jimenez
13:38again 90 feet a piece 5-2 Blue Jays
13:42bottom of the order telling the story
13:45once again Andres Jimenez had a very
13:49nice approach there shortened the
13:51swing up he got a change up over the
13:53heart of the plate didn't try to do
13:55too much got the barrel to it and
13:57absolutely ripped that thing through
14:00that hole on the right side what an
14:02important hit for him you have to keep
14:04adding on especially against this
14:07Dodgers lineup Addison Barger taking
14:10rips outside the dirt circle Addison
14:12Barger is not going to get a chance
14:14to to face Sheehan Dave Roberts was
14:17waiting for the Blue Jays to
14:18announce the move now he will make
14:19a move of his job here's what
14:21Barger wants to do knowing who's
14:23on deck fly ball and even a strike
14:25has not the worst thing in the
14:26road you just don't want to hit a
14:27ground ball double play and he
14:29knows that he's going to try to
14:30lift the ball and keep it off the
14:31ground so he can at least guarantee
14:33Guerrero off a grand slam Addison
14:45Barger blows this game wide open
14:49nine two Blue Jays in the bottom of
14:52the sixth well he hit a fly ball he
14:55guaranteed his teammate was going to
14:57come up but I didn't see a situation
14:59where his teammate might come up with
15:01nobody on I mean this is a high
15:04breaking ball you want to see a
15:06hard swing that was a hard swing
15:29and if you're unfamiliar with the
15:38Blue Jays just learning about them
15:40today just watch this sixth inning
15:43watch the bottom of the order set
15:45the table watch guys come off of the
15:47bench and deliver that's pesky two
15:49strike hitting and then watch power
15:51hit it's all rolling together it is
15:53the Blue Jays who put nine runs on
15:56the Dodgers staff that gave up four
15:58in the entire championship series
16:00they've batted around Guerrero in
16:03the shadow center field here comes
16:05Paez that's down and we saw a
16:08little bit of this against the
16:09Yankees their ability to explode
16:11and get the crooked number one
16:13swing got a crooked number this is
16:15what you wanted if you're Toronto
16:17and you're Toronto fan to at least
16:19show we're pretty good and we can
16:21score here's a high drive off of
16:23the bat of Kirk sailing back there
16:25to center does it have enough you
16:27bet double digits for the Jays in
16:30game one you just can't stop them
16:32right now a nine run inning a two
16:36run homer it's 11 to Blue Jays in
16:39the sixth these Blue Jays can
16:41absolutely rake nine runs across in
16:45this sixth inning their second home
16:48run of the inning in third of game
16:50one it's now eleven to two game one
16:54has turned into a home run derby
16:56that's the third tonight for the
16:57Jays really got into the World
17:00Series by making contact or did
17:02they ever make contact a nine spot
17:05I don't remember too many nine
17:06spots in the World Series I can
17:07tell you that and Ohtani
17:08offensively tonight has looked like
17:09the Shohei we saw between the first
17:13game of the wild card series in the
17:14final game of the NLCS he's 0 for
17:163 and he has struck out twice
17:18left it there hit in the air to
17:20right field back it goes it is gone
17:24yeah sky scraping home run from
17:27Shohei Ohtani left it over the
17:29plate no tiny didn't miss just
17:32can't do that to a great hitter
17:34that's the fastest run around the
17:36bases I've ever seen right on the
17:37heels of Tommy Edmond fourth home
17:38run the last two games for Ohtani
17:40and it's eleven to four you just
17:42see it coming and it rolled right
17:44there perfectly for him and that
17:46swing has been done a lot this
17:48year that over 60 now that is 61
17:51okay nine for the Jays in the 60
17:54get nine runs in a game you're
17:56going to win 100 times out of 101
17:59eleven to four in game one
18:03and one pitch gets pop up here
18:06Kirk with room I've been retired
18:09like that I said Bassett it's
18:12actually Eric Lauer that is
18:14coming to the game for the Blue
18:15Jays left hander another guy
18:18that was a starter for a good
18:19chunk of the regular season
18:21Paz into right hangs up for
18:23Barger two down in the night but
18:25two outs top of the ninth
18:26inning eleven for Blue Jay lead
18:28the Dodgers down to their final
18:30strike for the first time in the
18:32World Series he got him swing and a
18:35miss strike three the Blue Jays
18:37take a one nothing lead in the
18:38World Series on the back of an
18:41eleven four blowout win over the
18:43mighty Dodgers just as everyone
18:45predicted the Blue Jays win by a
18:47touchdown plus the extra point
18:49over the Dodgers in game one
18:51their first win in the World
18:53Series since Joe Carter's walk off
18:55home run ended it in ninety three
18:57it doesn't matter the game it's
18:59just I feel like we have built a
19:01belief we've built something here
19:03where we have the utmost belief in
19:06just that game period it doesn't
19:07matter if it's if it was in May
19:09August obviously it's great to see
19:12that happen in the World Series but
19:14at the end of the day it's still
19:16just a single game and it's just
19:17play our game I think we show we're
19:19not a not an easy opponent we're
19:22going to grind them down no if it
19:24ain't broke don't fix it you know I
19:25mean we're just going to keep you
19:26know being aggressive and you know
19:28swinging at strikes and getting our
19:29best swings off turn the page I mean
19:31it's one game and then we can do
19:34about it now it's all is over with
19:35so just have to focus on tomorrow
19:37today it wasn't a hard night both
19:40of the ball but I feel like like I
19:42say it's just one game and we got to
19:45clear this up and kind of bounce back
19:47for tomorrow seven game series you
19:50know it's it's baseball anything
19:53can really happen but it's kind of
19:55hard to go undefeated but you know
