2023 NLDS: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Double plays are always nice to watch

sheesh that's about as badly a plate appearance can go

yup

Good pitching in this game

Yep. If the Dodgers can sort out their first inning's (and both teams pitching can stay like this), either of these teams could take Braves/Phillies. the NLCS is going to be great

oh wow call on the field's gotta stand for that one

Yeah. Bang-bang play that would have stood if it was called the otherway as well. Can't be mad

They would have had him

Get's out of it

just not LA's night wow

Good games today

not only that but an Impractical Jokers re-run to turn a good night into a great one

"Lance Lynn is 46 years old "

Good for him

36, lol still the point stands

Yikes

Wow

Starting to feel for the Dodgers and their fans, sorry H P.

Not over yet tho

yeah lotta game left and the Dbacks relievers are hittable

All the best teams get swept this year, it’s actually a mark of great honour

😢

You have no idea how violent the swing was from innings 1-2 of “Lance Lynn is the greatest post-season pitcher the Dodgers have ever had, move over Sandy Koufax” to whatever the hell happened in the 3rd inning.

I get the Rangers, I get the Phillies. I don't get Arizona at all. They were outscored this year--they won 84 games, and they were even worse than their record. Maybe the Dodgers pitching problems are just far worse than I believed. I knew they had a patchwork rotation, but if you win 100 games, I assumed they had figured a workable way around that.

lol DBacks 1st baseman just did the splits. wonder how many of em can do that

pete alonso gets pretty out there

I can’t say much about the dbacks season, and I am by no means trying to excuse the Dodgers bad form right now, but the dbacks are playing some great baseball and while they might not be the pick in the NLCS, they’re by no means going to get dominated by either team based upon their level of play these past three games. Great pitching, great hitting, just absolutely stumping this Dodger team

Counterpoint i won’t acknowledge: The dodgers might actually just be this bad

alright now the stat guys are dunking on LA cmon guys do something

they doin something

I cannot believe Roberts just pinch hit AUSTIN BARNES there hahahaha

I swear that last pitch almost hit the ground.

just the guy you want to take the most important AB of the season

Lol, for batters with 200+ pitches, only a fellow Austin “Austin Hedges” edges him out as the worst batter in the mlb this season. But even then, Barnes has the lower average (.180).

Like, I love the bloke, and I don’t blame him personally for being pinch hit there (you have to have a backup catcher on the roster!), but what in the hell was Robert thinking GOOD LORD.

200+ AB’s*

UGH, 200+ PA’s* (sorry)

Ginkel looks a little off

Mookie has been getting pitched strikes right on the edge this whole post season. Incredibly frustrating to watch

dont think any of those 10 pitches were in the strike zone!

The story of Dodger post-season hitters the past decade is all our good guys turning off and our marginal players setting the field ablaze, but I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like what’s happened to Mookie and Freddie this year. Absolutely hate this

Betts looked as lost there as Stanton looked last time I saw him (borderline calls noted).

I’m not even questioning them being strikes (I think all the borderline ones have been, and mlb at-bat shows it to be so for that last one). It just feels like ridiculous bad luck that nearly every pitch is able to live right on that line against him (and only him!). Feel for the guy

Oh no…. This Dodgers season might finish with an Austin Barnes AB

ahhhh fuck I thought that was it

Too hopeful a proposition. Congrats dbacks

'73 Mets, '87 Twins, here come the '23 Diamondbacks.

look on the bright side. pretty good episode of Impractical Jokers on right now

i retroactively vote for D-Backs in 3

I thought the dodgers would put up more of a fight but I did think the Diamondbacks would take it. Flawed team, but they've got some players. Felt like the dodgers were relying on a lot of guys who were ready to turn into pumpkins. I didn't necessarily think they would do it all at once however.

You love to see it
