MLB Is Getting Exposed By Social Media And The NFL In Since Deleted Comment For “Scripting” Game 1 Of The World SeriesWorld Series Game 1 win (Photo by MLB)
With the World Series now well underway, fans have come out in full force with claims of it being “rigged.”

The Los Angeles Dodgers took Game 1 against the New York Yankees on Friday night, but it wasn’t without controversy.

There was a lot of chatter regarding the officiating. Many fans felt like the strike zone wasn’t applied consistently, which led to one team being favored over the other.

Another notable moment saw a potential Yankees home run ruined as it was overturned due to fan interference.

Fans also felt like the managerial choices were ill-advised and deliberate, with New York’s Aaron Boone fielding plenty of criticism for playing Nestor Cortes, who hadn’t pitched in over a month yet was included on the World Series roster.

“Yankees just brought in a pitcher who hasn’t pitched in over a month since September 18th with the game on the line in the WORLD SERIES … and idiots still won’t think these games are rigged,” a tweet read.

“I just don’t know what analytics or binders told the Yankees that Nestor Cortez, shaky at best when healthy and shelved the past month, was the answer,” another read. “Two fastballs right down the dick but Aaron Boone liked how he’s looked in the bullpen??!! TIM HILL IS ON YOUR F**KING TEAM.”

The NFL Got In On The World Series “Rigged” Chants Too

It appears the NFL enjoyed watching another league endure “rigged” claims and even joined fans in claiming the MLB was scripted.

A comment from one of their social media accounts, reading “MLB script writers cooked with this one,” was screengrabbed and posted on Reddit.

While the authenticity hasn’t been confirmed, it’s funnier to believe this version.

Wife Of Yankees Pitcher Gerrit Cole Is Causing A Major Stir During The World Series

Gerrit Cole is currently on the mound for the New York Yankees as they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in a highly-anticipated World Series.

He might not be talked about as much as players like Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, but his talent cannot be ignored.

In the meantime, his wife, Amy Cole Crawford, is stealing the show.

Amy Cole Crawford is going viral amid the World Series.

After several years of dating, Gerrit and Amy married in 2016, and three years later, he signed a huge nine-year contract with the New York Yankees for $324 million.

Once they moved to New York, Amy would announce her pregnancy and would soon welcome their son in June 2020.

In 2023, the couple would announce the arrival of their second child.

Gerrit Cole Has The Chance To Steal Game 1 of The World Series On The Road

All eyes may be on several batters in the Dodgers and Yankees series, but Gerrit Cole cannot be ignored.

The biggest names between the star-studded Yankees and Dodgers are in the lineups, but more often than not, pitching rules in October.

Cole missed about half the season and struggled to regain his 2023 form when he was healthy.

The 34-year-old right-hander ended up 8-5 with a 3.41 ERA in 17 starts this past regular season.

He would then follow that up with a win and a pair of no-decisions in the postseason series wins over the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Guardians.

Cole posted a 3.31 ERA over 16 1/3 innings.

If Gerrit Cole has his good stuff tonight, then the Yankees can put all the pressure on the Dodgers.
