NLDS- Braves v Dodgers

[Sbbruin 21,938]

Should have its own thread.  Interestingly, Dodgers going with Ryu despite Kershaw being on full rest.  Going with the hot hand.

[Brew 3,049]

Pulling for 5 games. I’ll be in LA next week and have already informed my wife I’ll be skipping Disney on Friday if there is a game. 

[Vic Mackey 47,434]

Dodgers in 4.

[BigOrange1 6,566]

Braves in 3!

 

 

(but really dodgers in 4.  braves aren't ready yet).

Keep it close and you can count on Dave Roberts pissing down his leg and doing something stupid to give you a chance.

[kevwun 15,963]

Will be interesting to see if Roberts learned his lesson about overworking his bullpen last year.

Dodgers in 3 or 4.  Would love to see Braves go 5 games or win series.

[Sbbruin 21,938]

I think the Dodger offense and starting rotation gets them past the Braves.  Jansen scares the shit out of me though.

Joc solo yack for the early lead. 

[BigOrange1 6,566]

weeeelll that could have gone a lot worse.

[Guadaloopy 11,077]

Pederson’s face is as punchable as ever.   

[spystud13 2,371]

He really is unlikable. 

[Surly Bevo 25,542]

Is Turner the most gingery ginger ever?

[BigOrange1 6,566]

ballgame.

[pacman 7,441]

Dammnit

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Threat to steal?

He will definitely steal your soul.  And crush your spirit.

Kurt Suzuki still brings back bad memories after all these years.

Fuck that guy.  And fuck Jason Windsor, too, wherever he is.

[Sbbruin 21,938]

Ryu is dealing tonight

[Sbbruin 21,938]

Nice when I hitter like Machado can shit the bed and you still whoop ass on your opponent.

[Sbbruin 21,938]

The Dodger depth will kill ya.  When you go Bellinger, Puig, and Hernandez in the 6-8 holes, that’s tough.

[Guadaloopy 11,077]

Dodger organist is one of the best stadium atmosphere features baseball.  

[Sbbruin 21,938]

OK enough dicking around. End this.

[EZ$ 2,107]

Well, at least we get one home game on Sunday. 

[Vic Mackey 47,434]

Braves are fucking awful.

They suck so bad that they are having trouble hitting against the best pitcher of his generation.

Lmao. Yeah because it is impossible to do anything against Kershaw in the playoffs.

Braves fucking suck.

[spystud13 2,371]

Yasmani yack. 

[WBT 20,776]

Kershaw at 60 pitches through 6.  That seems good

[Beau Vine 55,029]

I swear he's mildly retarded.

[Guadaloopy 11,077]

Smoltz yelling at clouds again and telling Puig to get off his lawn.  His elder statesman of the sport act has really started to wear thin.

People forget Kershaw was 3-0 in the playoffs last year including an all time  performance in game 1 of the WS. Don’t ask about game 5 though.

vic?  he's way more than mildly retarded.  

anyone who watches baseball saw this coming.  young upstarts who are a year or two ahead of schedule vs. the most playoff tested team in the national league.  even vic should have seen this coming.

[TheFlagship 466]

Kershaw pitching well tonight but pretty bizzare for him to have only 1 K?

[BigOrange1 6,566]

touki, he has no interest in swinging the bat.  throw one down the middle. 

[UTexasFight 9,660]

Kershaw pitching well tonight but pretty bizzare for him to have only 1 K?

Was just coming to post this.
Only 6 in the game.

Not what we’re used to seeing in 2018.

[UTexasFight 9,660]

Only 85 pitches thru 8.

Good effort, Braves

[Guadaloopy 11,077]

Roberts would have been fired on the spot if he didn’t bring Kershaw back out.  

[Sbbruin 21,938]

Rumors of Kershaw's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

[Sbbruin 21,938]

Jansen. Just got interesting.

[UTexasFight 9,660]

Holy Shit, Dave.
Never go full Roberts.

[BigOrange1 6,566]

 

[Sbbruin 21,938]

Boom!

[Pimphand 6,090]

I'll never understand Dave Roberts pitching decisions.  I'm just thankful he was around calling the Dodger shots last year in the WS.

And yeah Kershaw did great all postseason last year right up until the 4th inning of game 5 then the wheels fell off.

[WBT 20,776]

Fucking lame he didn't let kershaw finish the shutout

Easily. Makes Carrot Top look like Rachel Dolezal. 

[Sbbruin 21,938]

No it was the right move. He never intended to let him pitch the ninth. He just wanted Atlanta to have to burn two pinch hitters instead of one. Shrewd.
