NLDS Game Thread

And there's your pitchers duel today folks!  You gotta play the game.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

"I don't believe . . . what i just saw"
 
indeed.

 

[LogansDad]

The postseason is 4 days old, and I already feel better about Farrell.

 

[glasspusher]

Was just saying to a friend, Kershaw's 2 Ks this inning were to lightweights. Carpenter is no lightweight.

 

[VORP Speed]

Fucking mattingly

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Dave Cameron roasted Melvin for letting Lester face the Royals order a 4th time.  That was Matt Carpenter's 4th AB against Kershaw.

 

[54thMA]

Nice job there by Grady Mattingly

 

[hitatater]

Bad, bad location on the pitch. 

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

How the fuck do you leave him in to allow that many runs?!

 

[MakMan44]

Bad, bad location on the pitch. 

I think that ties Ventura's FB to Moss for worst pitch I've seen this postseason. 

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

How the fuck do you leave him in to allow that many runs?!

 
He got managing advice from Grady Little.

 

[johnmd20]

Mattingly didn't yank him.

 
 

That can happen when a pitcher is left out there to die.

 
I know. But Kershaw. Up 6-1. Who didn't think this game was completely over? Granted, he has had his struggles in the playoffs but this was a sick turnaround.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Big Blow by Kozma, idiot Reynolds just said

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Was there even a mound visit to slow things down?

 

[MakMan44]

Was there even a mound visit to slow things down?

Yes

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

There are still at least 3 people having a worse inning than Kershaw.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

7th inning is the monster this October.

 

[glasspusher]

Was there even a mound visit to slow things down?

 
Yes. Batter before Carpenter

 

[VORP Speed]

It didn't happen fast, Harold. He gave up hit after hit after hit after hit

 

[Lars The Wanderer]

Is this the stupidest group of manager to ever manage in the playoffs?

 
Bruce Bochy kindly requests that you kiss his rings.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Yes

  

Yes. Batter before Carpenter

Oh. Nevermind then.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

It didn't happen fast, Harold. He gave up hit after hit after hit after hit

 
HR's brain runs slow. 

 

[LesterFan]

Welp

 

[ifmanis5]

Bomb

 

[Madmartigan]

Wow

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

that's why Kershaw stayed in.

 

[glasspusher]

This loss is on Mattingly. Period

 

[Al Zarilla]

I meant yank him before the Carpenter AB. Still, against the lefty, was JP Howell his go to guy?

 

[LogansDad]

Holy shit..... Holliday

 

[hbk72777]

More runs have been scored in the post season than the Yankees scored all year

 

[shawnrbu]

This series is over.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Donny's out of his element.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

"The ability to hit with 2 guys on there--amazing". --HR

 

[johnmd20]

This loss is on Mattingly. Period

 
It's on Clayton Kershaw.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Donny's out of his element.

 
Hey, he played in 5 postseason games in 1995!

 

[glasspusher]

that's why Kershaw stayed in.

Soo...KC's going to win it all? They've got the best bullpen

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

I'm still trying to figure out how the huge market KC Royals can afford relief pitchers, but the Dodgers can't.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I had switched over to watch some recaps of the other games today, got back at 6 - 4. Three thrilling games, wot?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

 
It's on Clayton Kershaw.

it's on the stretch.

 

[glasspusher]

I meant yank him before the Carpenter AB. Still, against the lefty, was JP Howell his go to guy?

yeah, that was the thing to do. He's fading, let him face the guy who homered against him last time?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Soo...KC's going to win it all? They've got the best bullpen

Baltimore is pretty good too. Giants can be good.

 

[MakMan44]

I'm still trying to figure out how the huge market KC Royals can afford relief pitchers, but the Dodgers can't.

They lucked into like a bazillion of them

 

[54thMA]

What a shame, the Dodgers are such a likeable bunch too; Crawford, Puig, Gonzalez, just a swell bunch of guys.
 
Crawford's going to blame this loss on his time in Boston.

 

[Madmartigan]

Don't get me wrong, Kershaw is great, but I can't help but wonder what his numbers would look like if he pitched in the AL. When Jake Peavy is dominating the NL West, you have to figure it's very, very easy to pitch there.

 

[glasspusher]

it's on the stretch.

 
Karma, perhaps. Any team that celebrates with bubbles? Payback's right around the corner.

 

[hbk72777]

It's too bad KC/Baltimore can't be the World Series. They're the 2 most exciting teams right now

 

[Lowrielicious]

I'm still trying to figure out how the huge market KC Royals can afford relief pitchers, but the Dodgers can't.

have you seen how much money they are paying the rest of their guys?

 

[twibnotes]

The postseason is 4 days old, and I already feel better about Farrell.

Bc he seems smart, relatively speaking, or bc this shows you don't need a smart manager to make the playoffs?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

It's on Clayton Kershaw.

Yeah, it's not always the manager. It's Clayton Kershaw. He was cruising. He's had one and a half real bad innings all year. Lefties in the line up and he's still throwing strikes. No walk. No hit by pitch. The Cardinals just beat him.

 

[54thMA]

Dodger fans still at the park in the 7th; it's a Festivus miracle.
