holy hell i mean
that was probably a hit
or at least a long sacrifice fly with a chance to tie the game
but
the bat
broke
Game 7 of #baseball #WorldSeries 2025!
This series has had everything, good games and a lot of rules in the book applied, new and old - like the Ohtani rule.
But you do you know what does it need to have the perfect final? Final score: 6-7
So, I'm calling it now: #BlueJays wins thanks to a Vlad Guerrero Jr. home run. #Dodgers made the effort, but it wasn't enough.
Game 7 of #baseball #WorldSeries 2025!
I can't believe #Dodgers won.
No, that's not fair.
#BlueJays deserved to win, but that's the game.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
on a broken bat.
the bat
fucking
broke
holy shit
holy fuck
holy hell
broken
bat.
Game 6 of #baseball #WorldSeries 2025!
Those #BlueJays thought they got us, but we are not done yet, my beloved #LAD #Dodgers are here to battle.

Thanks!
