It’s over.

The World Series is finally over (I know, finally) and if you didn’t hear your phone buzzzzzzing about it, I think you might live in a cave, the Red Sox won.

The World Series 2018 was really interesting.

The Dodgers came into this one obviously the underdogs facing the gruesome Red Sox who had an insanely strong year. The Bosox were used to the frigid cold but the kids from Capistrano Beach were definitely frigid to the bone and couldn’t hold on to the temperature nor their games, falling behind a pretty big deficit of 2:0.

They were then in hot LA, with the first game going to the Dodgers and it was one for the record books, twice the length of a regular game, 18 innings! With the sleepy Justin Turner slamming it outta here in the middle of the morning.

Then, with high hopes for the next game, the Dodgers lost again to the Sox, 9-6, a tough loss as the Dodgers tried to find some offense, but rather found the Red Sox team is out of this world. The Dodgers knew they were beat and probably everyone else knew that they were beat.

With a 3-1 series and the Red Sox winning, the Dodgers came onto the field, but the never-give-up attitude from Clayton Kershaw proved to be nothing compared to the champagne-ready Boston Red Sox. It was 5-1 with Manny Machado up at the plate, he swung on Sale’s menacing slider and then Machado walked the long way back to the dugout.

David Price allowed 3 hits and one run but Kersh could not hold on as the Boston Red Sox are the champagne-sprayed 2018 World Champions.

Overall, even though the Red Sox’s performance blew the doors off the season, I believe that the Dodgers could have done better, their pitching could have done better. I know their pitching isn’t the best but they did a lot better in the regular season. Rich Hill and Walker Buehler are the second and the third best on their staff (chef’s choice on which one is two and which one is three).

I think their hitting was the best it could be but the Sox pitching is the same level as the hitting of the Dodgers. The Red Sox hitting was fine, except I think they needed to hit more homers in the postseason. The Dodgers had the exact amount of homers that is healthy for them.

Overall, I think the biggest surprise was the Mets because they had such an amazing start and then they just crashed and really burned. Another big surprise were the Brewers and Dodgers, after an iffy start from the Brewers and a really bad start from the Dodgers they just came back bit us in the butt.

That’s it for the 2018 MLB Season. If I read or hear of something interesting, I’ll be back. Thanks for reading my first blog and I look forward to writing more next Spring.

See ya!
