NLDS- Dodgers v Giants

[Scraps 13583]

Do I spy a Jim Beam Ginger Highball Seltzer that pussy Urias had knocked out of his hand?  

Serves him right with that weak ass punch.

I've seen some weak punches in fan fights, but some of those are near the top of the list. I don't think the bigger guy of the original two fighters ever even threw one, though. Looks like he slipped on a chest shove then just grabbed the other dude. I think after the smaller guy connected to his chin and it somehow did negative damage he realized he might kill the guy if he started beating him.

You hit like that, you should be wearing Bellinger jerseys.

Heyooooo

Hey now, let's give Belly his due. He's had a good series.

Seems like this series was destined to go the distance.

MLB has always had fixed schedules once the postseason starts which is typically why sweeping someone especially in the 7 game LCS can be problematic as you go into the World Series on 5-6 days rest which means your entire pitching staff is on "extended rest" and your hitters will have gone a long time without seeing anything other than BP.

Good news is Logan Webb on 5 days rest which is probably the optimal amount.  Hopefully he continues his Dodger mastery.

[Pimphand 5926]

*Note: that clearly didn't apply to the Nationals who had 6 days off and pimp slapped the Astros twice in a row at Minute Maid Park

[Sbbruin 21898]

Hallelujah.  The wife took pity on me and put our Hamilton tix on the block.  Sold them at a bit of a discount, but whatever (comically, there were a TON of tix available likely for the same reason).  Whew.  That was going to be a problem.

Fuck Logan Webb and the Giants in the goatass.  Just lay off that bullshit slider away and get to the bullpen, which Kapler put through the ringer Tuesday.  

109 wins v 109 wins. Dis gon be good.

[Js1 85602]

Wow. I feel conflicted now. Fuck LAD but Horns up

 

[Scraps 13583]

This seems like a dumb idea

effectively.

So Roberts is starting Knebel to keep Kapler from loading up righty hitters against Julio.  Bring in Julio in the 2nd or 3rd.  We'll see it pays off.

I actually like that move.

Until Knebel gets shelled in the B2.

[Scraps 13583]

I would still just load up the RH's and have Crawford and Wade be his two LH to start...then pull Wade and put in Slater 

I would leave Yaz/Duggar on the bench until late in the game when PH's are needed 

[kevwun 15928]

Dave Roberts overthinking something?  That doesn't sound right.

The Lux in CF move makes me nervous.  Was at the game against SD where he misplayed a ball and hurt himself running into the wall.  Defense up the middle is crucial.  I'd prefer CT3 in CF, and Pollack in LF.  Have Lux off the bench.  You'll need him.

I learned to root for aggy and sooners who play on my pro teams.  So, I have no problem rooting against Horns who play on pro teams I despise.  Hope Knebel has a nice offseason … beginning tonight.

I hope he has a good outing for a couple innings and then the Giants score 6 runs as soon as he is pulled.

Lotta Dodger hate.

Nope, I hope it’s 21 inning game. That would be fantastic for mlb 

[Sbbruin 21898]

Interesting note that there hasn't been a single lead change this series.

I've been too busy all day--what happened to Urias?

 

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Stoked for a game 5.  Whoever wins just hope it's a good game with a consistent strike zone.  Well, at least a good game.

Roberts starting Knebel to keep the Giants from loading up RH hitters.  But what the fuck is this nonsense?  Fuck that bullshit.  It's fucking Dodgers/Giants.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said he received a courtesy text message from Roberts on Wednesday night to let him know about the switch.

"We have that good quality relationship that we'll communicate on things like that," Kapler said.

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Gotcha.  So they'll use Urias, just not as a starter.    

 

[Scraps 13583]

I wonder if after reading that text Kapler rolled over and gave Dave a kiss on the lips once he put his phone back down on the nightstand

[Wally Pryor 5263]

Should be epic. Essentially a WS game 7. I don't have a huge dog in this hunt but love the maniacal nature of the Giants fans. Can't wait to watch this one. Have seen the Giants, time after time after time, display incredible resiliency.

[HtownHorn 14786]

Great inning by Knebel. Huge K to get out of the inning. Now that's he likely done for the game, fuck the Dodgers.

[pops 7007]

Lux baptism by fire

[HornPhD 1368]

I should have bought more whiskey 

[HornPhD 1368]

At least Trea is less likely to hit into a DP this at bat

[Dnaguy 12104]

When I get reincarnated, I want to be sinker ball pitcher. 
There’s something about generating ground balls, double plays, and making batters look foolish that is just so ducking cool.

Way cooler than just overpowering folks with fast balls.

I would also accept having an insane 12-6 curve as well.

[Fudge Nuggets 19227]

Good lord, the ghost of Tom Hallion is in SF tonight.

[HornPhD 1368]

Is that E-40 sitting front row behind the plate?

[Guadaloopy 11022]

Sick pitch from Webb to get Lux looking.  

[TonyTexas 10534]

I haven’t watched a lot of Giants games before the playoffs but, damn, Webb is a good pitcher. 

[Huckleberry 33114]

Not the last one, but why does this announcer think the batter is late when he fouls it straight back? Earlier Webb geared up and committed to a fastball and fouled it straight back and the guy said he was late.
