2021 NLDS 101: Giants v. Dodgers Game Thread

[AB in DC]

That would have been an epic collision if the runner didn't dive headfirst.

 

[Sprowl]

Repeat after me: head-first dives into first base slow the runner down and give the defense a split-second advantage.

Or don't repeat, just agree.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Not really a good comparison, darlin

 

[patinorange]

Put one in the cove.

 

[BigSoxFan]

This asshole ump

 

[canderson]

LA started with a reliever and will finish with a starter. Baseball has gone full wonky.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

No borderline calls going the Giants way all game.

 

[shawnrbu]

Put Pujols at first so he can be on the field to celebrate.

That would have been an epic collision if the runner didn't dive headfirst.

It almost ended with Beaty getting kicked in the head.

 

[BornToRun]

Thought that was down the line

 

[Remagellan]

Repeat after me: head-first dives into first base slow the runner down and give the defense a split-second advantage.

You slide to avoid a tag play, which is not an issue at first. Never understood why players do this.

 

[patinorange]

Put Pujols at first so he can be on the field to celebrate.

Too soon

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Ouch, not meant to be there

 

[budcrew08]

Good positioning by the left fielder

 

[BornToRun]

Please let that matter

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

7 calls off the plate the LA way. Sorry for my crying.

 

[budcrew08]

Bryant reaches on a bobble from Turner

 

[BornToRun]

Nothing weird there. Just a bad error

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ohhhh

 

[canyoubelieveit]

A home run here might be memorable.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Old feet

 

[strek1]

Well now. Turner opens the door.

 

[AB in DC]

No borderline calls going the Giants way all game.

I'd love to see a strike zone map after this is done. Didn't Brooks Baseball used to post them online? I don't see them any more.

 

[dhellers]

Hard to get pitcher to swing at if ump hivec

7 calls off the plate the LA way. Sorry for my crying.

Screws ups sfg hitters approach. So it matters

 

[The Filthy One]

In the Fangraphs chat, Kevin Goldstein just referred to Turner as a "40 third baseman" which is pretty intense shade.

 

[budcrew08]

That looked pretty good, just foul.

 

[BornToRun]

Ouch

 

[Murderer's Crow]

Don't know how Wade took that pitch after the previous swing.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

It was a strike, but fuck this ump.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Don't know how Wade took that pitch after the previous swing.

Ball was offspeed on the other side of the plate

 

[BornToRun]

That was crushable

 

[BigSoxFan]

That was the pitch, Wilmer

 

[canyoubelieveit]

That was the best pitch he'll see

 

[BornToRun]

Here comes the whiff

 

[strek1]

Don't know how Wade took that pitch after the previous swing.

He kept working him in and in and then that one probably looked outside to Wade.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Lamonte you dummy dummy dummy!

 

[dhellers]

That was the pitch, Wilmer

That one too,?

 

[BornToRun]

Looked like he went to me

 

[mauidano]

Oh well. Fuck it,

 

[patinorange]

Another bad call.

 

[Remagellan]

Terrible call.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Come on

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Is this real life, no replay?

 

[strek1]

Freakin Dodgers again. Ugh.

 

[The Filthy One]

Oh, that's cruel.

 

[JOBU]

Fuck the dodgers

 

[rajendra82]

Fixed

 

[patinorange]

Freakin Dodgers again. Ugh.

Every damn year.

 

[canderson]

LA over Atlanta in 6

 

[MuellerToldHisTale]

looked like he went, but man it's tough to ring him up there.

 

[Sprowl]
