2019 NLDS - Nationals vs Dodgers - Gamethread

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Well, all right!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Kershaw you dog.

 

[Plympton91]

I consider the Dodgers to be Yankees West. Hate Magic Johnson.

The Nats are being too loyal to Eaton. N Ed to hit for him there. He’s been garbage since August 30th.

That was bad bullpen management by Martinez. You could end up needing to let Corbin hit in a big spot here, or lose him in what could be a tie game where you’re looking for some quality length.

 

[redsoxcentury]

Nats not done

 

[Al Zarilla]

holding the Dodgers to 3 runs is pretty good. Turner/Eaton are the goats of this game.

Not so fast, my friend.

 

[patinorange]

Yup.

 

[shawnrbu]

lol Kershaw

 

[Wingack]

Oh hello.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh my god I love baseball so much. Fucking incredible.

 

[Couperin47]

and suddenly, it gets interesting

 

[The Filthy One]

Yeah, Dave Roberts might be fired before the bottom of the 8th.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

that's just amazing.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Playoff Kershaw is something to behold.

 

[redsoxcentury]

Unfuckingbelievable

 

[patinorange]

Old friend Dave will be answering some tough questions tonight.

 

[Wingack]

Playoff Kershaw is something to behold.

Meatballs too.

 

[InstaFace]

Kershaw coming in and blowing it would be the pinnacle of comedy.

Not even I thought it'd happen *again*.

 

[Brand Name]

The Kershawshank non-redemption!

 

[strek1]

Hopefully this is a better game

Yep, it's a MUCH better game!

 

[bankshot1]

the legend grows

 

[hunter05]

Kershaw holy shit

 

[ElUno20]

Thank you, Clayton. Please retire.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That shot of him in the dugout looks a lot like Sad Keanu

 

[bosockboy]

Rick Monday revenge.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

the Dodgers are still in a good spot. none of the other guys tonight for the Nats can hit a lick.

 

[Wingack]

Who is this doofus in the Marlins jersey?

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Clayton Kershaw: The Washington National of the Dodgers.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Not a good AB, Ryan. Two meatballs.

 

[bosockboy]

Who is this doofus in the Marlins jersey?

You’re not familiar with Marlins Man?

 

[54thMA]

Here comes the room service meatball to put the Nationals up 4-3. Regardless of how this plays out, I hate this move, trust your bullpen.

Yup, HATED it.

Classic over managing.

What a stiff Kershaw is.

Two meatballs.

 

[hunter05]

Maeda strikes out the side. Oof

 

[Al Zarilla]

Kershaw looked like he was ducking a grenade on Soto’s blast.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

We deserve a game like this as compensation for the crapfest that was the Twins vs the Yankees and today's disaster for Atlanta/curb-stomping for the Cards.

 

[54thMA]

You’re not familiar with Marlins Man?

There he is, Marlins "Hey everybody, look at me in this expensive seat even though I'm not a fan of either of these teams" Man.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

both teams' 8-9-1 coming up next. Dodgers have already double switched though.

edit: I'm way off, never mind.

 

[BornToRun]

I fucking missed it! Goddamnit!

 

[Wingack]

You’re not familiar with Marlins Man?

I don't catch a lot of Dodgers games apparently.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

C’mon, Corbin!

 

[patinorange]

Thank you, Clayton. Please retire.

I’ll take him on the Sox. Just keep him out of the bullpen. He’s susceptible to the bomb when that curve isn’t snapping. Bad move on Roberts part.

 

[scottyno]

it's been a whole 1 year since a team won the world series doing the exact opposite

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cody’s trying to hit it to San Berdoo.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I’ll take him on the Sox. Just keep him out of the bullpen. He’s susceptible to the bomb when that curve isn’t snapping. Bad move on Roberts part.

Yeah he has already exercised his playoff demons a few seasons ago. That just wasn't a great spot for him.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Bellinger looks like the guy I saw in 2018.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I don't catch a lot of Dodgers games apparently.

It’s not a Dodger thing.

Game 5, 9th inning, 3-3.

Baseball!

 

[54thMA]

That bullpen going into the playoffs was a tire fire.

And Kershaw wasn't on that staff.

But other than that, you're 100% correct.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Kelly time!

 

[patinorange]

Yeah he has already exercised his playoff demons a few seasons ago. That just wasn't a great spot for him.

Especially with their two best hitters due up.
