Yankees' Jazz Chisholm predictably goes too far after Dodgers' Game 4 loss

The Dodgers lost Game 4 of the World Series in spectacular fashion on Tuesday night. It started with an Anthony Volpe grand slam and got really bad in the eighth; that'swhen the Yankees put up a five-run inning at the expense of Brent Honeywell Jr.

A two-run homer from Freddie Freeman, some nice hustle from him on a fielder's choice to score a run, and a Will Smith homer all went to waste. The Yankees showed signs of life for the first time this series, and they made it look a lot more like one of the Dodgers' NLCS games against the Mets. The final score was 11-4, which will send us reluctantly to Game 5.

By the time it was mercifully over, five out of nine Yankee batters had driven a run in. One of the non-contributors was Jazz Chisholm, who made himself into something of a Dodgers enemy when he took shots at Miguel Rojas and aired a lot of dirty laundry from their shared time on the Marlins.

After the game, Chisholm (again, a non-contributor to this Yankees win) told reporters, "One thing about us, we love history. And we love to make history."

Jazz Chisholm got a little overexcited about Yankees' Game 4 win over Dodgers

Alright, let's slow down there, guy. The inevitable comparisons to the 2004 Yankees-Red Sox ALCS have already been made (Derek Jeter looks like he wants to strangle David Ortiz any time it's brought up during Fox pregames), with the sentiment, "Wouldn't it be so cool if the Yankees were came out on the other end of that, 20 years later?"

There's definitely reason to be concerned that the Dodgers gave the Yankees the shot of life they needed to push this into a potential Game 6 or even 7, but let's not get carried away here. That Red Sox win isn't something that happens every so often — no team ever came back from a 3-0 deficit to win a postseason series before then, and no one's done it since. No team down 3-0 in the World Series has ever forced a Game 6. If any team is capable of that kind of fight, it's not the 2024 Yankees.

Letting Honeywell get shelled allowed Alex Vesia, Blake Treinen, and Michael Kopech to get the rest they needed after Game 3, and they'll be available for Game 5 behind Jack Flaherty. Treinen hasn't appeared since Game 2 on Saturday. The Dodgers have given the Yankees some room to breathe a little easier here, but we have to at least see a tied series before we start talking about the Yankees making history.
