2021 NLDS 101: Giants v. Dodgers Game Thread

[Remagellan]

This game is living up to the hype. One great defensive play after the other.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hehe

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Damnnnnn, that's some leather.

 

[LogansDad]

Crawford might be the most underrated player in baseball over the last decade

 

[loshjott]

Scherzer, 7IP, 10K, 1ER, in line for the loss.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kapler doing it right

 

[nattysez]

Remember that discussion a few pages ago about the Giants' very young closer? Having to bring him into a one-run game on the road in a key playoff game for 2 innings is what legends are made of...hopefully.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

These games rock. Doval is sick. Lets see is he can get 2/3 through an allstar lineup.

 

[canderson]

101? Da hell?

 

[nattysez]

Nails. Holy cow.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

101? Da hell?

Sick. Oh yeah and a wipeout slider. Good luck.

 

[Euclis20]

Comparing him to K-Rod, I see it (minus the intense windup). That is some insane stuff and incredible poise from a rookie.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Sick. Oh yeah and a wipeout slider. Good luck.

Has he gone multiple innings much?

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Yeah, super impressive. High wire stuff right now, unless SFG can find some insurance runs.

 

[loshjott]

Tension city.

 

[Ale Xander]

Runs please
Just 2 will do

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

That half inning didn't inspire. Man, I hope this kid is a goldfish.

 

[canderson]

Has he gone multiple innings much?

Once, against Colorado.

Edit: COL, not STL

 

[Ed Hillel]

Story of the postseason lol k

 

[Ale Xander]

This kid is dope I must admit

 

[loshjott]

DOOVVVALLLL!!

 

[canderson]

Awesome!!! That was a homer if not for that wind too.

 

[Ale Xander]

Lux thought he got it all

nope

 

[ElUno20]

Fucking wind.

 

[shawnrbu]

That’s gone in August.

 

[osori]

What a finish to an amazing game.

 

[patinorange]

Wow, thought that was gone. This is going 5 games I would guess. Go Giants.

 

[canderson]

3 hits and they win, haha

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Dodger fans have to be beside themselves... they can't beat the Giants. Giants get the wind to finish hte game.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow

 

[nattysez]

Has he gone multiple innings much?

Tonight was the second time ever in the majors. Last time was in a blowout v the Rockies.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Yikes, wow.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Celebrated early like the Cincy kicker.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Winning the Scherzer start was huge, especially after splitting at home.

 

[shawnrbu]

Dodgers need their good luck charm Soto in the crowd for Game 4.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Playoff baseball rules. Props to Sean Berry for pointing this out back after the 2003 ALCS.

That Crawford play was insane.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Also. Gabe Kapler is good at baseball management it seems.

 

[canderson]

Wild.

@JeffPassan
Gavin Lux hit the final pitch of the game 106.9 mph and at a 22-degree launch angle. Batters this season, on balls hit 106-107 mph and at 22-degree launch, were 55 for 62 (.887) with 38 home runs. The Dodgers had four such hits this year. All were homers. Lux thought he had one.

[rajendra82]

Let's go Giants. Love to finally meet you in the postseason if fates allow.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

A star is born...

[E5 Yaz]

Buehler on short rest tonight

 

[Wallball Tingle]

So weird to see Longoria in a not-Rays uniform. Had a moderately positive feeling on seeing his face, oddly...

 

[Remagellan]

I'm all in on the Dodgers tonight, because I'd like to see this series go to the limit.

 

[canderson]

Don’t see SF scoring 3 to win this game.

 

[mauidano]

Don’t see SF scoring 3 to win this game.

Yep. Cool with SF winning in 5 at home. Wife's favorite team. Gotta hope Sox/Giants!

 

[JCizzle]

Don’t see SF scoring 3 to win this game.

Yep, agreed. Sure looks like this one is heading back north for game 5.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Brandon Crawford is insane

 

[patinorange]

Brandon Crawford is insane

He really is. Saved a run.

 

[patinorange]

Yep, agreed. Sure looks like this one is heading back north for game 5.

I’m rooting for the Giants but that is tempered by loving a game five in SF. That would be fun.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That inning hurt SF but this is what they do - they rarely let teams run away from them
