The maesters also understand that theoretically, a ship should be able to circumnavigate the globe, by continuing to sail west from Westeros until they come around to Yi Ti on the other side, then continue going west until they return to Westeros. Tech sales They also understand that a ship could sail north over the pole and reach Yi Ti on the other side—provided that there is no landmass or arctic ice in the way. However, as of yet no ship has ever successfully circumnavigated the globe. Ships that have sailed west of Westeros and returned report finding only a vast ocean, and other ships simply never returned. Even the far south of Sothoryos and eastern end of Essos are unknown to men in Westeros. There have been some attempts to navigate north over the pole, but all have ended in failure due to dangerous ice and other unknown dangers.
Nonetheless, while their globe is bigger than real-life Earth, it is not so utterly vast that that everything from the Wall to the Summer Isles is in the same climate zone: there is noticeable variation from polar regions to tropical regions. For all we know, however, regions like the Summer Isles which we would consider to have «tropical» climates are actually located in their world’s «sub-tropics», and the «tropics» around their equator are so hot that they are truly uninhabitable to humans. Another hint about their world’s size is that constellations in the night sky are noticeably different between the Wall and southern latitudes such as Dorne and the Summer Isles, meaning that the curvature of the globe is noticeable across such a distance (if their world were 100 times the size of Earth, the angle of curvature would be so low that they wouldn’t be able to see different constellations between these latitudes).
Their solar system also has minor astronomical bodies, such as comets and meteors. The red comet appeared in the sky near the beginning of the War of the Five Kings. Now and then small meteorites have been known to crash into the planet as well: Dawn, the ancestral sword of House Dayne, was forged from the metal recovered from a «fallen star» (House Dayne even uses a falling star in their heraldry as a result). Dawn has unusual properties: it is as strong and sharp as Valyrian steel (which is forged using spells and dragon-fire), but the metal of the blade is the color of pale white milk.
The Yankees are up against it now. Only 15 teams in 92 tries have won a best-of-seven postseason series in which they dropped the first two games. And so, as their Game 3 starter Clarke Schmidt takes the ball opposite the Dodgers’ Walker Buehler, they’re going to need to feed off the energy of a hungry crowd that hasn’t seen a World Series home game in the Bronx since the Yanks’ 2009 title run.
Great minds think alike TB82. I’ve mentioned Caravalho several times since we got to Omaha when talking about how deep our bullpen is. In making that argument I also cited his strong mid-week game performance. I’m in no position to question Coach Fulmer’s judgement either so I also wonder if there isn’t more to this story line.
• The Dodgers and Yankees had a World Series preview June 7-9 at Yankee Stadium, with Los Angeles winning two of the three games. Teoscar Hernández had a go-ahead, two-run double in the 11th inning of the first game, a 2-1 Dodgers win, then hit two homers in an 11-3 rout the next night. The Yanks salvaged the finale with a 6-4 win, powered by Trent Grisham’s three-run homer off Tyler Glasnow.

Stark had a tough start to the at-bat, falling behind 1-2 and swinging so hard through the second strike that his bat flew out of his hands and went to the backstop. He was able to reset, however, and launched a two-run home run into left field.
Starting pitchers Jack Flaherty and Gerrit Cole put zeroes on the board against two totally loaded offense through four-and-a-half innings. The Dodgers were able to get a run in the fifth, but then big Giancarlo Stanton crushed a two-run homer in the top of the sixth to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead.
For Freddie Freeman’s Game 1 walk-off grand slam, Fox broadcaster Joe Davis’ call of «…she is gone!» echoed that of legendary Dodgers and then-NBC broadcaster Vin Scully for Kirk Gibson’s Game 1 walk-off home run in the 1988 World Series; and Davis also added, «Gibby, meet Freddie!».
In the fifth, the Yankees committed a series of errors and defensive mistakes that allowed the Dodgers to tie the score. After a leadoff single by Kiké Hernandez, Judge committed his first error of the season, dropping a routine fly ball off the bat of Tommy Edman that put runners on first and second. Anthony Volpe then committed a throwing error while trying to throw out Hernandez at third on Will Smith’s ground ball, which loaded the bases with no outs. Cole responded by striking out Gavin Lux and Shohei Ohtani, but a slow ground ball from Mookie Betts resulted in an RBI infield single when first baseman Anthony Rizzo did not charge the bag after fielding the ball and Cole did not cover first base; had this play been made, the inning would have ended with no runs scored. With the Dodgers’ deficit now 5–1 and the bases still loaded, Freddie Freeman then hit a two-run single and Teoscar Hernández a two-run double, tying the game at 5–all, with all five runs unearned.
In the top of the eighth, the Yankees sent in reliever Tommy Kahnle, who had not allowed an earned run in eight postseason games. Hernandez once again led off with a single, Edman followed with a broken-bat infield single, and Will Smith followed with a four-pitch walk. With the bases loaded, Kahnle was relieved by Luke Weaver, pitching in his third straight game. Weaver allowed a Gavin Lux sacrifice fly that scored Hernández, tying the game at 6–6, which moved Edman to third. Shohei Ohtani next reached on a catcher’s interference, once again loading the bases. On the first pitch of his at-bat, Betts hit a sacrifice fly to score Edman, giving the Dodgers a 7–6 lead.
After back-to-back upset losses to division rivals in the postseason in 2022 and 2023, the Dodgers looked to reshape their roster. In the off-season, they signed superstar two-way player Shohei Ohtani to a record $700 million, 10 year contract. Other big additions were signing outfielder Teoscar Hernández and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (from Japan through the posting system) and trading for starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow. During the regular season, the Dodgers were not quite as dominant as previous years due to various pitching injuries, a two-month hand injury to Mookie Betts, and a three-month abdominal injury to Max Muncy, failing to win 100 games for the first time in a full season since 2018. However, they still achieved the best win-loss record in the majors that year and won the National League West. They qualified for the postseason for the 12th consecutive season, dating back to 2013, the third-longest streak in MLB history.
• Not to be lost among the walk-off heroics, Freeman also had a first-inning triple, becoming the first player with a stolen base and a triple in a single postseason at age 35 or older since Mark Ellis in 2013, also for the Dodgers. Freeman is the third with a grand slam and a triple in a postseason game, joining the Rockies’ Kaz Matsui in the ‘07 National League Division Series Game 2 and Cleveland’s Elmer Smith in the 1920 World Series Game 5.
