Shaikin: Blue Jays waited too long to walk Shohei Ohtani. Will it cost them a title?

In a thrilling Game Three of the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays struggled to contain Shohei Ohtani, who smashed a game-tying home run after being intentionally walked four times. The Jays' strategy backfired, leading to an 18-inning game and a walk-off home run for the Dodgers, putting them one win away from the championship. Ohtani's performance, which included a playoff record nine times reaching base, sparked comparisons to baseball legends like Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds. As the series shifts to Dodger Stadium, all eyes are on the Jays' strategy to slow down Ohtani and the Dodgers' powerful lineup. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
