Los Angeles Dodgers Thread: Thank You Fans

The fact this team after a 162 game season is playing in a 1 game playoff against a team they finished 16 games ahead of is absurd, I would have felt this way if the Giants ended the same way and I can't stand their voodoo magic shit. Just an absurd system, why play 162 games

 

Cool franchise record for wins you just tied. Would be a shame if it was ruined by playing a win-or-go-home game against the 90 win Cardinals. - Rob Manfred

 

Who plays 1B Wednesday? Didn't even occur to me that Bellinger might start there over Pujols against a righty.


1. Mookie
2. Seager
3. T. Turner
4. J. Turner
5. Smith
6. Pollock
7. Bellinger
8. Taylor


Or do Beatty / Lux make an appearance to get another lefty in there?

 

its fucked, but this possibly sets up my dream scenario, the clock striking midnight and the Giants turning into a pumpkin against us in the DS.

 

One of these is not like the other

 

correct, Pujols isn't white

 

tell Raley to leave please. Don't need his bad vibes

 

Hopefully they make it far enough to get him back

 

I’ve shit on Bellinger all year, but I feel like he’s the easy answer here. Pujols can’t run the bases, and has horrible splits against righties. Pujols brings value as a pinch-hitter against left-handers late in the game. With Bellinger you’re at least getting great defense and speed.

 

Yep.

just can’t believe McKinney’s name was muttered. Hopefully that was roberts just being nice.

 

Roberts is getting yeeted into the sun if Raley or McKinney sees the field tomorrow

 

He's gonna have to get on base to put that speed to use, though. (I agree he's the right choice)

 

Wouldn’t be shocked if we see a bunt from Belli at an opportune time in these playoffs

 

.

 

Ranking of who can get a PH off the bench:

1) Pujols
2) Beaty
3) Barnes
t4) McKinney
t4) McKinstry
6) Souza
999) Raley

 

Scherzer looks like shit

 

I've seen this movie before

 

Have not swung at a curveball yet


Big inning for Scherzer with the meat of the order. See if he can settle down or not

 

That was better.

 

So predictable

 

This is turning into a game against the cards from when i was growing up where they win on bloop derps and we strand a ton of runners

 

Cards and Giants both in the playoffs

thank goodness NBA starts soon

 

Can’t wait to bring Kelly in during a high leverage situation. Nothing can go wrong.

 

Joe Kelly getting some love from Joe West.

 

Never a doubt

 

Let's run up his pitch count, get in to that pen, and do work.

 

McKinstry on deck!

 

Oh my god

 

your boy is ready for his moment bro !

 

Luke Raley

literally fuck off Roberts

 

Luke Raley.... ok Dave.

 

Brilliant at bats there

 

I miss Kiké

 

C'mon Bruiser... don't fuck this up.

 

Your favorite! Gets it done. See if turning over the order is a regret.

 

Tied going into bottom 6, could be worse.

 

Top of the lineup against Waino 3rd time through. Let’s get it going

 

Have to attempt a steal here.

 

Pollock has been jumpy tonight, trying to force it.

 

Pollock with three garbage at bats.

 

Damn. Needed to have that. Not loving starting the bottom 7 with Beatty/Bellinger/pinch hitter

 

They are making all the plays.

 

They are a great defensive team statistically.
