2018 NLCS - Los Angeles Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers

can't stop looking at that huge zit on Burnes' neck

oh shit he's got one on each side of his neck, he's a frankenpitcher

as y'all can see I'm focused on the important things

😁

xpost check what I wrote 7 posts before ha

Why the fuck was Smoltz talking about sleep

Not using Hader feels huge. Game 7 gonna be nuts

verducci had the most insightful comment of the game in like 30 seconds of total airtime

What did insightfully say?

Game 7s gonna be good

Any sox fans btw? Haha

What did he insightfully say
xp

Where did you find that, Tim? Nothing on Baseball Reference, unless I'm missing it

Yeah, Baseball Reference in his postseason game logs. He threw a total of 368 pitches in that series.

verducci noted that the brewers were teeing off on ryu’s first-pitch curveballs— moustakas had one of them, maybe kratz too? then he mentioned that ryu had thrown 81 first-pitch curves all season and allowed one hit on them, and wondered if ryu were somehow tipping it

At the risk of ushering in the Craig Counsell, Tactical Genius Era, I'll be rooting for the Brewers tonight. I realize that past Kershaw, Puig, and maybe Jensen, the Dodgers don't interest me much. I defend Bellinger on the Aaron Judge thread, but whenever I actually watch him, I like him better as a long-distance matrix of numbers--he's not that impressive up close. I liked Machado last week, but I want to do my part to make the world a better place, so I don't like him anymore, and anyway, he's just passing through. The Brewers are a great story, with lots of colourful players. With Godzilla in the wings on full rest, if the Brewers can get any kind of a decent start tonight, something like Miley yesterday, they oughta win. (I conked out for the first few innings last night, woke up for Knebel. Letting him hit was pretty gutsy.)

Any sox fans btw? Haha

I'll be rooting for Boston in the WS. I know, they've won too many times. But I like their players a lot, almost without exception. Cora, too--love that he stuck with Price for Game 6 (past a point where I would've--I would have had him out of there after 4).

I'm a Sox fan in general (Mitch Moreland is a hometown hero*), though I'll be rooting MIL if they win tonight.

*who I like even more because he's never come back here for Christmas parades and crap like that to pretend he remembers the town with fondness

You Can Home Again (I Just Ain't Goin' Anywhere Near There)

over/under on how many times the michigan-michigan state football game is mentioned tonight?

Joe Buck wd always rather be at a football game

Would be nice if someone made a viral 60-minute supercut of Buck vacantly barking "Good play" and/or "Good pitch" that makes Fox realize they should "go in another direction."

Sorry, frogbs--I put the curse on re Bellinger.

need a feed

plz dont give me the name of an app, thats like giving me a formula for rocket fuel

i'm using this one

(one of those where you have to find and click the two tiny X's before hitting the big play button)

thx -- those are the only kind i use

i meant to predict that both starting pitchers wd be gone by the 4th (obviously the way to bet these days)

Morbs

I got you dude

MLB streams reddit

HD feed there

Wld u lookit that double play

Clem can ya curse Aguilar for me thanks

Hader seems a bit shaken

I think I would have let Crispin Glover hit--he's untouchable out there.

Didn't seem like that tough a decision--you've got to take him out. (Walking Yelich would have been crazy.)

omg what a grab

Beauty

That was some catch.

Wow.

Curious as to how Kershaw will figure in.

They can’t all be Puigs

yow

That’s how it’s done SON

RIP

Jeffress nooooo

boycotting Bose forever based on twee commercial

I guess Jansen comes back out for the eighth and Kershaw pitches the ninth?

Do i hear anti-twee sentiments in a baseball thread?

Unless really necessary, I'd try to let Jansen finish up.

Did you guys know that Jansen used to be a catcher?

lol Puig's pose when he got announced safe.

blergh

LET’S GO DODGERS

He only throws in the low 90's, but this Kershaw kid might have a future as a closer in the bigs. This wasn't a save situation though, so we can't really be sure that he has that closer mentality until he pitches in a close game.

Damn. Well, nice season anyway, Brewers.

1916 WS rematch

I guess the consolation is we probably wouldve gotten our assets handed to us intjenwlrld seroeis
