Blue Jays content creator gets owned after Dodgers, Freddie Freeman deliver flashback

After 17 1/2 innings of baseball, some excruciating near-misses, unbelievable pitching, defensive gems and miscues from both the Dodgers and Blue Jays, Freddie Freeman — 1-for-6 with two walks in the game so far — came up to the plate in the bottom of the 18th to at least try to get on base and spark a walk-off rally.

Will Smith and Teoscar Hernández had already sent fly balls to the warning track in the 16th, only to fall into the glove of Daulton Varsho in center field to keep the game going. Freeman himself had done it in the 13th.

Freeman, just days removed from the one-year anniversary of his walk-off grand slam against the Yankees in Game 1 of the 2024 World Series, refused to suffer the same fate again. He clubbed a sinker right over the heart of the plate and sent it over the center field wall.

The ever-delightful Twitter account Baseball Images that Precede Unfortunate Events hopped on it immediately. After Freeman's caught fly ball in the 13th, Blue Jays content creator Johnny Giunta celebrated, tweeting "WE DIDNT HAVE A NESTOR CORTES MOMENT. BAAAAAAANG." It was promptly reposted on Baseball Images that Precede Unfortunate Events, and Dodgers Twitter went wild.

Blue Jays influencer Johnny Giunta is getting absolutely roasted for tweets after Dodgers' Game 3 win

Dodgers fans might know Giunta from his crash out vlog following Roki Sasaki's signing with LA. (He actually used the Sasaki-Myles Straw matchup in the top of the ninth on Monday to complain about the game's unfairness, despite tweeting "ROKI SASAKI AINT DOING THAT. MYLES STRAW FOREVER" back in July).

Giunta has doubled down on his initial "no Nestor Cortes moment" tweet since getting clowned about it online, tweeting, "In no world was that a Nestor Cortes moment lol. Little was not brought in specifically to face Freeman. No one was on base."

We can be pedantic about this too. The bases were loaded in the 13th for Freeman, but Eric Lauer, who was pitching in that inning and gave up that near-homer to Freeman, wasn't brought in specifically to face him. Giunta still celebrated the flyout as "not a Nestor Cortes moment."

Does it even matter if the outcome is the same? Walk-off homer for Freddie Freeman in a World Series game. And a history-making one at that. Oh, and the Blue Jays lost. Now we're going to get into the specifics of how they screwed it up?

Blue Jays fans continue to be funny. They've gone from "we don't need you" chants at Shohei Ohtani to loudly supporting manager John Schneider's intention to "take the bat out of his hands" as much as possible. They're dealing in ridiculous amounts of cope after last night's loss. Stay pressed, guys.
