Is the crowd booing or chanting Deee-fense?
Why does Milwaukee keep running Jeffress out there, when clearly he doesn't have it this postseason?
Amazing that the Dodgers have the tying run at the plate right now.
Fortunately for the Brewers, Rally Killer Grandal is up.
Sucks that the bases loaded rally came down to Grandal and Dozier -- who have both been dreadful in recent times. 2 Ks, and that was that.
At least the prices for tomorrow will probably go down.
Consider this
All the discussion about Counsell’s use of his bullpen. Zero discussion about the weak Dodgers bullpen b/c Dodgers have been dominated so far
Kike Hernandez went off on the fans after they booed the struggling Yasmani Grandal and chanted "We want Austin!"
Here's what he said:
It sucks that there's nothing going on in the stands since the first inning when Braun hit that double. It's quiet for the rest of the evening, and it sucks that they got loud just to show up Yasmani.
If they think they can do it, go ahead, put on your gear and go catch 99 with breaking balls that have a lot of movement. He's been one of the best catchers in the game for a while now. He's having a little bit of a rough patch, which we all — as humans, as baseball players — go through.
Sometimes we feed off the crowd. Fans here do a great job of showing up and packing the stadium every night and having a lot of passion for the game. Tonight, for whatever reason — I guess as contagious as the energy is going to be from the fans to the players, it was from the players to the fans.
I understand Hernandez sticking up for his friend, but he can't blame the fans for the Dodgers not being able to score runs, or get hits with runners in scoring position. (They were 0-for-10 with RISP, and were the worst team in baseball in that respect in 2018.)
Everyone on that team gets paid a whole lot of money, and getting booed when you fail comes with the territory.
Give me the $8 million per year Grandal is making, and people can boo me all they want!
In 2017 mid season he added a cutter to his game. Also helps having Derek Cutter Johnson as his pitching coach this year.
Fangraphs had him at 11.8% of his pitches as cutters in 2017. This year he is at a 41.8% clip. Last years fastball were at a 53.3%, and this year at 20%. Career low of fastballs by over 30%.
Derek Johnson, more cutters, less fastballs equal a Wade Miley career year
Kershaw's career postseason ERA now sits at 4.26 in 133 innings.He tops out at about 92 now. I think That pretty much explains most of his regression.
That's enough of a sample size to draw conclusions, and they aren't great.
What’s frustrating is that I feel as if I am going to lose control of the Kershaw narrative. Somehow he was the goat and now he has regressed. We never agreed he was the best cause he beat the best
I'm probably going to the game myself tonight, which is kinda idiotic, but that's the way it looks like it's going to fall, if I want to go to one this series.
All of my LA area friends are either too busy with work to make a weekday game] or aren't Dodgers/baseball fans.
Would take Ben, but he has school tomorrow, and we would get back too late (game starts at 6:10pm, and I'm a good 50 miles or so away).
I did go to the World Series by myself, buying my ticket on the way there with an iPad in my lap, getting a great Jew deal, and I enjoyed it a lot.
Don't want to go tomorrow because it's at 2pm, and it will be a hot day. 2pm is the hottest time of the day in LA, and I hate sitting with the sun beating down on me on a hot day for 3 hours. 6pm is much much better, aside from the awful traffic driving in (some of which I can avoid through side street trickery).
I just searched on stub hub for giggles and there is an all you can eat ticket for $50
What the F is that?
If the Dodgers organ player turns up missing on his way home tonight I will cry no tears
When fans cheer it’s usually in anticipation of something positive. Think about that.
Of course, that’s not their fans expectation given their sad playoff experience thus we play some Doors riff.
Is it common for the crowd to erupt every time their team hits a grounder to an infielder or is that just the faggot ass Dodgers??
Machado really is Dodgers Ty Cobb
11 innings of hate. I’m exhausted
Stadium half empty. Maybe not.

Any of you Russians have access to Druff’s FB or Twitter?
Hope he’s ok.
This can't be good for his LPR and anxiety, lol.
You can't be serious
No for real, I'm not paying close attention and I hear a roar from the TV and the dodgers just grounded out to short or the 2BYou can't be serious
Urias looks like he could go 9 more
Thank goodness I’m not a contributing member of society. Hell of a game.
Love my man Druff. Just a laugh no hateThis can't be good for his LPR and anxiety, lol.
Saw this pop up on my Kindle today. It’s like they have access to PFA
