With that said, let's see multiple runs here in the 8th!
Oh no.
Ya, I never do it. Just thought they might jump on them. Didn’t happen. Drawing dead to a miracle with shit part of the lineup.Quote:

Congrats dodgers fans. And me. They were too good to lose some shitty one game playoff with 106 wins.
well that's a fucking way to cash the race to 3 runs bet...

I think every punter took this bet today.
Nobody wanted to watch Cardinals Giants except WillieMc. 100+ wins heads up.
trying to think if winning the LAD race to 3 runs in that spot is more fucked up than winning that PIT no runs first inning bet where ke'bryan hayes hits a home run, misses first base and is called out...
i gotta fucking stop betting...
Can’t stop Won’t stopQuote:

Ben kept saying he was "nervous" that the Dodgers were going to wreck their entire season in one game. I felt the same way.
Cards can look back at the decision to put in the struggling Reyes, but the truth is that they were in this position because the shat the bed over and over when it came to runners in scoring position. I believe they were 0-for-11. Credit some of that to the Dodgers pitching (especially the bullpen), but a lot of that was probably nerves where they just didn't deliver in the clutch.
Props to Cody Bellinger for drawing that walk when I was sure he was going to strike out to end the 9th, and props to Chris Taylor for getting out of his own head, and ended a horrible 3-month slump with a highly memorable walkoff shot which made Dodgers fans breath easier.
Here we go.
As the Brewers and Braves are locked in a pitcher's duel, I await the Dodgers/Giants starting at 6:37 PT.
Buehler vs Webb
Both pitchers have had some struggles lately, but both with excellent overall numbers for 2021.
SF will be without Brandon Belt and Johnny Cueto (lol at the latter) for the NLDS.
Dodgers will be without Max Muncy and Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw out for the year, while Muncy might also be. Both missing the NLDS for sure.
David Price made the NLDS roster, to Sanlmar's delight. Expect to see him in blowout games.
I've meant to post about this before, but Rowdy Tellez (who just hit the go-ahead 2-run HR in the 7th) was a great pickup for the Brewers.
The guy has a lot of raw power and has a lot of potential, but just can't quite get it together. He was terrible for Toronto this year, but he got new life in a new environemnt in Milwaukee, and had an OPS of over .800, while always being a power threat.
Not surprising to see him as the difference maker here. As an opponent, I hate facing guys like that in the late innings.
Even if he isn't an every day player, he is an asset off the bench. Brewers didn't give up much for him, either.
Dodgers not having home field advantage is a tough one for them here. They were a dominant 58-23 at home, and 48-33 on the road. Giants were 54-27 at home, and an almost equivalent 53-28 on the road. So the Dodgers definitely played way better at their home park, whereas the Giants seem to be about the same team either way.

Dodgers just aren't quite the same team on the road that they are at home, though. And Walker Buehler is clearly tired.
Hopefully Urias saves them again.
If the Dodgers are gonna insist on playing Bellinger when Urias is pitching Bellinger should bat 9th.
Edit
Apparently he responds well to hate.
Bellinger finally makes good (aside from walking in the wildcard game).
Huge 2-RBI double, then Pollock does the same.
6-1 Dodgers in the 6th now. They basically had to win this one, now it's looking very good.
maybe Bellinger has figured out how to hit to the opposite field....he is now choking up on the bat a little, going for contact and hitting the outside pitch to the opposite field...i noticed the choke up in the previous at bat...he has usually held the bat with his hands on the knob, but this last 2 times there was an inch of bat sticking out below his right hand. but SF is still playing him with a Ted Williams like shift...btw last at bat he grounded one foul up the third base lineQuote:

Silicon Valley money was making it so the nosebleeds were $250-$300 here on Stubhub.
Hope they got their money's worth. 9-2 Dodgers now.
Red Sox standing room only $125Quote:

Wander Franco 2 run HR tonight ….. so far
Unusual heavy wind tonight at Dodger Stadium. Interestingly, the wind is calm over here, and while not close to the stadium, I'm in the LA metro area.
Scherzer super wild, and even fell over once because of the wind.
Bad.
Joe Davis calling the Red Sox Tampa game.
It’s hard to sync Tampa sports radio to the cable feed but I did it.
Davis does love his voice. Say that.
Can't believe how the Sawks are doing now after how bad they looked earlier in the season at times.
Dodgers batting .000 in the first 5 innings other than Pujols, who is 2/2 but out of the game.
Jansen making it hard for the Dodgers to move on.
“The Last Dance”
Robbery by wind
Scherzer rebounded to his god like status.Quote:

Giants just a fraction better as they have been all season.
Dodgers are going to need to get their excuses ready if they lose tonight. Best team money can buy only has a World Series in a pandemic shortened season to show for everything so far.Quote:

The one weakness of the Dodgers is they can’t manufacture a run to save their lives. Kind of ironic, because Dave Roberts manufactured the most famous run in MLB history. I went to that 18 inning Dodger/Red Sox WS game with my mom, and she kept saying: “aren’t they going to bunt?” Lol.Quote:

I have never seen that take. You are right though. Dodger were going to defy the weather to the end - and look shocked at the outcome.Quote:

You’re ignoring the elephant in the room tonight - Dodgers pitching. Like who? I know it’s Gonsolin but maybe we are surprised. I’m taking a chance with Buehler. He’s young and there is no tomorrow. Maybe Buehler is next out of the pen?
How were the Giants +188 last night? Dodgers -155 tonight without knowing the starter? That’s the stuff that fuels the Dodgers over rated meme.
Atlanta coming up?

Joe Kelly actually didn’t suck balls. Kudos to him. Dodgers have a chance now.
Kelly was wild and worthless when he arrived in LA. I give the Dodgers credit for making him a pitcher.Quote:
