Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman was just like the rest of us watching Game 3 of the World Series.

Friedman revealed just how intense emotions were for him during the 18-inning contest in an appearance on Dodgers Territory.
“I mean it was a very intense series. Everyone keeps talking about how great it was, and I’m sure it was for a lot of people. There were times where I had to step back and remember to breathe,” Friedman said.
“Something I’m very not proud of is I may or may not have have spiked a barstool in that Game 3 and it’s because of the range of emotions. Will Smith hits a ball to center that in my mind is definitely a homer. And Varsho goes back and catches it.”
How Long Was Dodgers vs. Blue Jays World Series Game 3?
Chaos between the Dodgers and Blue Jays ensued at Dodger Stadium for a total of six hours and 39 minutes. The 18-inning thriller tied for the longest game by inning in World Series history.
There was no shortage of entertainment in the epic matchup as Freddie Freeman called game in the bottom of the 18th with a walk-off home run. Shohei Ohtani had a stellar performance going 2-for-4 with two home runs, two doubles, and five walks. He reached base a total of nine times.
Clayton Kershaw made his 2025 World Series debut in Game 3, escaping a bases-loading jam in the 12th frame to keep the game tied. It was the future Hall of Famer’s only appearance in the Fall Classic, and he made it count.
Dodgers reliever Will Klein emerged as the team’s unlikely hero as he tossed four scoreless innings. He was L.A.’s last available reliever and allowed just one hit and earned the win.
It’s no wonder Friedman had nearly chucked a barstool given all that happened in World Series Game 3. If it wasn’t already clear, the Dodgers front office is just as passionate about the team as fans are.
