I’m really glad the strike challenge is coming in next year. The strike zones were far too variable not just in the World Series, but the entire playoffs.
An incorrect call can have huge implications, like Jays winning game 3 if Varsho walks as he should have and Bo not getting tagged out in the confusion. Not just the Jays either. Smith’s strikeout in the 9th tonight was on a wide pitch too, and there were many other poor calls for a game 7. It’s just far too late to be relying on some dude behind the plate when we’ve had the technology for years.
With that, the Jays did far better than expected. Many were saying Dodgers in 5 or 6 with their pitching staff. The Jays fought a team with an obscene payroll to the bitter end, really 8 games plus two innings, and it was just a couple lucky home runs off missed pitches that did them in.
Hell of a season, hope for more of the same next year, see y’all then!
