IKF was out by an inch. If he gets a bigger lead, if he gets a better jump, if he runs through the plate instead of sliding, the Blue Jays are World Champions today. (An inning later, Mookie Betts would repeat the last mistake.) For all the energy we spent on Addison Barger’s choices Friday night, and for all the Blue Jays’ baserunning errors in this Series, Kiner-Falefa’s awful path from third to home was the most costly of all.
