After a grueling 2.5 year I finally got the MUTE button to work in time for Saturday’s game between the Dodgers and Blue Jays. I didn’t stay up for the 18-inning marathon game last night, but what I did catch was blissful silence. Somehow, in the past fifteen innings spread out over two days, I did manage to keep up with what was happening.

Without selling last night’s game short, I will say that Vlad’s baserunning was special even if his “slide” home was a bit short. In the end, he looked like a guy trying to pick up popcorn kernels.

Coincidentally, I was revisiting the other 18-inning classic from October 26, 2018, recently and fondly. The similarities are many, but I fear this time the Dodgers will prevail in the end.
