2018 NLCS - Los Angeles Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers

Front row Marlins guy with the orange shirt is in the house

btw Chris Singleton on the radio called the Machado HR about 30 seconds in advance, incl that it'd be a changeup

That's ridiculous, taking out Gonzalez.

stealth opener

i'm actually glad to hear Joe Buck as that Joe Davis guy was too pro Dodgers last round.

Go Brew Crew!

ye gods too bad McCarver isnt around to decry this bullpenning folderol

nice

Counsell is a genius.

John Smoltz is doing a good job, glad Fox brought him aboard.

obv a masterstroke by Counsell

haha, this is a great inning.

has a catcher ever had a PB and CI on consecutive batters in postseason?

i mean Jerry Grote could've blocked that pitch and he's about 75

ENGELBERG!

Is Counsell really about to put Hader on the mound in the 4th inning

Nothing better than Kershaw imploding

everything he's done has worked xp

Bee? go to hell

he had a little 'help' don't you think

Sometimes you just gotta tip your hat, look yourself in the mirror, and say, "You know what? It is what it is. We didn't execute."

are you quoting Smoltz? sounds like him

Smoltz Megamix, yes.

The only other time that a catcher had an error, passed ball, and catcher's interference in the same postseason inning came exactly one year ago today in NLDS Gm 5 - The Nats' Matt Wieters had a passed ball and error on the same play, followed by CI. https://t.co/YvCQdZLvz4

I have to be a Dodger hater Morb, otherwise I wouldn't be a proper Giants fan.

Xpost

This is going pretty well

Wtf

He’s going two innings I guess

Get loose, Moose Haas.

Hader on four days rest is just the most ridiculous bullshit

#PayGaryWright

Hader on for a third inning wtf is this

I don't get it

He’s at 42 pitches now this is weird

I don’t think it’s a terrible idea. He’s looked lights out coming into this one.

Hate to say it but Thick Jesus is back on his shit

Jeffress vs. Machado with the bases loaded should be pretty interesting

barf

Who else do the Brewers have left besides Knebel?

as far as straight relievers, no one. if they go to the 10th it'll probably be Freddy Peralta

That was stressful

Here we go

?

posts that effortlessly summarize something or another

welp

Holy shit Cain had that in his glove

Game

Great game.

That was some baseball huh

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

:D

fireworks in la rn

Is this what I'm seeing in that clip?

(final score of G7 flashes on scoreboard)

Lakers fans: (indifference)

(shots of the final out and the Dodgers celebrating on the field)

Lakers fans: (a smattering of mild applause)

(shots of Magic Johnson clapping)

half of Lakers fans: Magic Johnson, f yeah!!! (rapturous applause)

other half of Lakers fans (turning to their friends): Wait, which movie was that guy in again?

basketball fans are morons, esp in LA

Hard to say when in the final part of the game that was

But having been to a Lakers game, the crowd definitely gets into it once the game ends and the team has won

We got the usual inflatable thunder sticks and confetti came down and stuff

Laker fans are awesome and the vibe is dope

Morbs is just an angry old man

The AB I keep thinking about was Aguilar in the 2nd. 3-2 and he swings at a high fastball that’s like a foot out of the zone. After that there was a long single and a deep fly, Aguilar certainly would have scored and the game would be tied, at least. You wonder if they would’ve played a little looser after that. Then you got the Puig HR which doesn’t happen if they can pull off a routine double play (Bellinger is pretty fast of course), or Taylor’s amazing run-saving catch that Joc almost certainly wouldn’t have made. Just a lotta weird variance in this game. Probably why we made it so far in the first place, of course. Oh well. Was a great year.

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

Was he done, or could he have gone another inning? He'd thrown 31 pitches.

Brewers only got one hit in 4.1 innings off the Dodger bullpen.
