Dodgers Can Make History: A Sharp Commentary on Game 3
Ah, the World Series—the stage where legends are forged and dreams are dashed. The Los Angeles Dodgers are on the cusp of something monumental, a potential 4-0 sweep that would send them strutting into the annals of baseball history. I mean, heaven knows they could use the pick-me-up after years of heartbreak. Last time it was a clean sweep, we were still figuring out how to use social media without embarrassing ourselves!
In a game played at the revered Yankee Stadium, home to almost fifty thousand fans—bless their optimistic hearts—the Dodgers showcased what dominance truly looks like. Game 3, and the Dodgers took it with a score of 4-2. But let’s be honest, it wasn’t even that close; it felt more like a cat toying with a mouse, but with less “meow” and more “whoosh” of a bat swinging through the air.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room—Freeman! You know things are getting serious when, immediately after the national anthem, he swings for the fences with a two-run home run. If that doesn’t inspire you, I don’t know what will! it was almost poetic watching a man hit a home run right after he has some eagle-eyed tenor serenade him. And with this being the fifth consecutive World Series game where he’s called it for a dinger? At this rate, I’d suggest he invests in a bigger trophy cabinet!

Then enters Edman—the man’s plate discipline shines as he draws a walk and effectively pushes the Dodgers to a 3-0 lead thanks to Betts’ single. I mean, can we talk about how that’s not just good baseball, but also a metaphor for life? Sometimes, you need to let the big hitters take charge while you simply advance the base—good advice, unless you’re dating!
To seal the deal, a little theatrics on the field: Lux gets plunked, swipes second base, and voila! Hernandez sends a single out, sealing the score at 4-0. The Yankees, bless their little pinstriped hearts, tried to stage a comeback in the later innings—though it felt more like someone trying to revive a catatonic party with just a bag of chips. Verdugo’s home run to pull it to 4-2 was the kind of flickering hope fit for a daytime soap opera. Just when you think it’s over, the Yankees decide their plot twist needed a bit more nacho cheese and drama.
However, with the Dodgers’ starter, Walker Buehler, having a day so perfect it could have been devised by the glimmering gods of baseball, the Yankee’s efforts fell short with nothing more than a flicker of excitement and a swift elimination of Torres
As the game closes, the question hangs in the air: could the Dodgers reach their eighth triumph tonight? Their chances are looking shinier than a toddler’s forehead on a sunny day. It’s optimism to the extreme! Yet in baseball, as in life, anything can happen—unless of course, you’re trying to convince me that the Yankees can wave an improbable miracle wand. Let’s be real, they’d need more than fairy dust against this machine!
The Los Angeles Dodgers are on the verge of achieving something remarkable in the World Series, aiming for a 4-0 sweep that hasn’t been seen since 2012. In a thrilling Game 3 at Yankee Stadium, which was packed with nearly fifty thousand eager fans, the Dodgers once again demonstrated their dominance, emerging victorious with a 4-2 win. It was only through a fierce last inning push from the New York Yankees that the Dodgers faced any challenge at all. If they secure victory tonight, they could close the chapter on the series.
Even before the first pitch, it was clear that the Yankees were struggling, especially evident moments after Leslie Odom Jr. delivered a stirring rendition of the national anthem; Freddie Freeman wasted no time, smashing a two-run home run that set the tone for the game. This marked his fifth consecutive World Series match with a home run, adding to his impressive playoffs legacy.
In the third inning, Edman executed a key play, drawing a walk and ultimately scoring on a single from Betts to extend the Dodgers’ lead to 3-0. The excitement for Los Angeles continued in the sixth inning when Lux was hit by a pitch, swiftly stole second base, and then Hernandez’s single brought the score to 4-0.
The Yankees fought back later in the game, igniting a brief spark of hope in the heart of New York City. Verdugo’s home run cut the deficit to 4-2, electrifying the crowd, but with two outs already in play, the momentum was fleeting. Unfortunately for New York, the next batter, Torres, was quickly sent packing, sealing the outcome of the game. Dodgers’ starting pitcher Walker Buehler was stellar on the mound, completing five innings without conceding any significant runs. The Dodgers are now poised to potentially secure their eighth title tonight, marking a historic return to glory for the franchise in 2020.
