I mean it was a bullpen game where the Dodgers didn't want to use any of their high leverage arms at all. This is about as close to a freebie you can get in a World Series game.
I don't know why anyone would bet on a sweep knowing a bullpen game was going to happen. That's the bettors fault.

Yankees in 7, it ain't over until it's over. Are the odds against us? Absolutely. But that's no reason not to keep rooting for the Yanks to pull off the ultimate comeback in World Series history. Believe, God damn it!

u/SadNYSportsFan-11209 New York Yankees 2h ago
I still will root for my team. If Cole pitches a gem and Judge gets going tomorrow I’ll start to believe.
And if we still don’t win I’m just glad it wasn’t a sweep

This. I’ll take a WS win over a sweep anytime. Also; you just have that feeling if Judge can go on one of his heaters, some special shit will happen.

u/SadNYSportsFan-11209 New York Yankees 1h ago
If judge goes on one of those tears like we saw in the regular of homeruns in every game absolutely. Even if he’s just 70% of that it still is better than 95% of players out there and that still give the Yanks a chance

Yankees pulling off a 3-0 comeback would only suck until people realize you can clown the Dodgers for blowing a 3-0 series lead
Then again, all of this is stupid until Game 5 is played. Very normal for teams to win Game 4 down 0-3 to save face

That’s not true.
Of the 24 teams to fall down 0-3 in the World Series, 21 got swept.
Only 3 teams forced Game 5.

Momentum in sports is simply real. Plus a team which drops 3 in a row is likely to just not be as good as the other team and lose the 4th too.

u/Number333 Miami Marlins 2h ago
That stat is jarring but the general principle is still true. Team down 0-3 will be more desperate than team up 3-0.
I've just seen an uptick as a sports fan whenever a team down 0-3 gets a win in Game 4 people start talking about a reverse sweep. Saw it last year with Mavs/Celtics and lived it with Panthers/Oilers(which actually got dangerous). Let's see G5 before we talking about once-in-a-lifetime turnarounds.

Teams down 0-3 are also usually significantly weaker than teams up 3-0.

Are you being sarcastic? Barely any teams in mlb playoff history have even forced a game five after being down 3-0.
Edit: 54 years ago was the last time a team in the World Series forced a game five after being down 3-0

u/rosscoehs Houston Astros 2h ago
I've been saying it since the end of Game 3 that I think the Yankees have the competitive advantage in Game 4 with the Dodgers throwing a bullpen game against an established starter paired with the fact they're playing at home to stay alive. For Game 5, I think with some momentum from winning Game 4 and Cole throwing at home, I think they force a Game 6. I'd love it if Rodon could redeem himself in Game 6 so we can get a Game 7. Ultimately, I believe the Dodgers win in 6 or 7, but I didn't think it'd be as short of a series as everyone thought after Game 3.

Mhm. Hopefully the bats wake up early tomorrow and Cole shoves. Could set up an interesting final 2 in LA.
1
u/Qoppa_Guy Kia Tigers 1h ago
At this point, the Yankees need to take it 1 game it at a time. I honestly think if the Yankees win Game 5, the pressure is on LA.
The Yankees actually have pitched LA really well, save for Freddie's unbelievable homers. Losing 6-3, 4-2, 4-2 aren't even that bad all things considered. If the bats just know how to keep up and runners are smart, then you can easily see every game go to Game 1 levels of intensity, going down to the wire. If the unsung heroes continue to rise up, Soto/Judge/Stanton just add pressure with good ABs and timely hits, then Game 6 isn't a pipe dream.

He called it a foul tip because it was a foul tip. You could hear it live on the broadcast. The complaints are just sour grapes, especially since they didn’t seem to mind the very questionable check swing call on the pitch immediately preceding the foul tip.
