“You start thinking about [Madison] Bumgarner, and what he did in 2014. It caught the sphere where it was biggest. World Series Game 3 between the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers reached epic proportions. Muncy may have hit the first walk-off World Series homer since Freese in 2011 and the first for a Dodger since Kirk Gibson in 1988. That was incredible. He raked at Triple-A Oklahoma City, but the Dodgers didn’t bother to call him up in September. They have held 114 of these World Series since 1903.

Dead tired.”The Dodgers and Red Sox played a baseball game about which they will be telling their grandkids, and so will any of the rest of who stayed up until 3:30 Eastern, or half past midnight under an orange moon over The San Gabriels, when Max Muncy of the Dodgers ended it with a home run of Boston righthander Nathan Eovaldi, one of the most gallant losers ever known.There was Kinsler making the biggest gaffe of the game with an error in the 13th. He still had two decisions to make at that point to hold the lead: set his feet and make a strong throw to try to get Puig, or simply hold on to the baseball and let Eovaldi attack Austin Barnes, the 0-for-the-series Dodgers catcher due up next, for the final out.In the end, of course, Hobbs wins over Mercy. • Eovaldi's 97 pitches were the most in a relief appearance in the World Series, and he was the first reliever to complete six innings in a Fall Classic game since the Dodgers' Rick Rhoden went seven in Game 4 in 1977 against the Yankees.Game 3 of the World Series between the Red Sox and Dodgers on Friday night was one of the wildest Fall Classic contests in recent memory.

Listen to free internet radio, sports, music, news, talk and podcasts. He threw off-balance to first base, as if trying to skim a rock across a pond while falling down.
He opted for a third choice, the only one that could imperil the game for Boston. “It was just a stupid experience for everybody.”Now, as Friday night turned into the first hour of Saturday, it was Midnight Muncy cracking the sky — after 561 pitches, after 46 players, after the longest World Series game there ever was, after the bars in Boston had already been cleared out of fans waiting to see how the cliffhanger would end, after all of our wonder in this beautiful game called baseball was restored.He started this season in Triple-A again, but wound up leading the Dodgers with 35 home runs. They will talk about it whenever a conversation turns to testing the limits of athletic endurance, in this case when baseball holds us spellbound when it busts so far out of its conventions.“We’ll find out tomorrow,” Cora said, meaning, of course, later today.“Holy cow.
