Padres vs. Dodgers NLDS Thread

[radsoxfan]

Interesting to make a change with a 1-0 count.

Managers make a lot of decisions that can be judged in retrospect but in real time are so tough.

But making a pitching move 1-0 shows a real lack of foresight and planning. How was Vesia not up and ready to go??

I like him, but this very likely is going to be DR's last game as manager.

 

[Ale Xander]

That pitching change was dumb

 

[scottyno]

Manny killed the mojo.

Or not

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

It had to be Cronenworth. Clutchenworth

 

[jmcc5400]

Dodgers are done

I don’t think so. We’ll see.

 

[McBride11]

Guess that steal paid off. Funniest steal in history

 

[mauidano]

Boy was that a stupid fucking time for defensive indifference

Stunning and Soto humiliates them for it.

 

[LogansDad]

Stunning and Soto humiliates them for it.

I think it was a combination of trying to get the best frame for the pitch, and avoiding the double steal, more than simple indifference, but it looks real bad right now.

I just.... it's a 3-3 game in the 7th, somebody needs to get REAMED for that. How could you just let him have it? Not that I'm complaining.

 

[Ale Xander]

Vescey (sic) is very hittable

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

Seems predestined now that the Dodgers lose by 1 and that steal (plus the pitching change) become a focal point for their entire off-season.

 

[Ale Xander]

In a different world with a different manager, Dodgers could be going for a 5 peat

 

[jmcc5400]

I think everyone thought it was strike three. It was a ball, but in same place as strike one.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

AJ is right for once. Pulling Anderson after five was questionable even at the time.

 

[jon abbey]

Yeah that was embarrassing for the Dodgers, wow.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Dodger fan friends just left out house, we are about halfway between SD and LA and we are rooting for SD.

 

[bosox188]

When you start making Wil Myers look good at the plate you're in a world of hurt.

 

[Ale Xander]

I’m old school but I don’t pull pitchers with a shut out unless something is wrong

 

[patinorange]

How do you walk that stiff?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

No team with 110 plus wins ever failed to make the LCS or, before the LCS, the World Series. The ‘01 Mariners lost in the ALCS, and all the other teams made the World Series.

The 2019 Dodgers and the 2021 Giants are the only other teams with 105 plus wins to lose in the LDS.

 

[Ale Xander]

How do you walk that stiff?

If your pitcher is a bigger stiff

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Vesia is all over the place.

 

[McBride11]

crazy. I guess blocking double steal? Oopsie

 

[Ale Xander]

Ball 4

Are other people getting car ads in Spanish during the MLB playoffs?

I’m streaming and getting zero FS1 ads
Just says commercial break in progress

 

[jon abbey]

Six outs away from a #5 seed vs #6 seed NLCS.

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

Some of them, yeah. But I'm in SoCal, so I didn't think it was so strange.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Ball 4

Judging by Game Day, ball 5, but he also swung at the previous high fastball.

 

[jon abbey]

And it's kind of pouring now, I thought that never happened here?

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

"They've waited 24 years to go to a league championship series again."

God fucking damn, we Sox fans have been so gloriously fortunate. (As I'm sure you all know: eight trips to the LCS since then, with four pennants leading to four titles. What a time to be alive.)

 

[LogansDad]

NOW IT'S RAINING IN SAN DIEGO????!!!!

 

[bosox188]

crazy. I guess blocking double steal? Oopsie

Maybe they were doing that quiet quitting thing?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

AJ is right for once. Pulling Anderson after five was questionable even at the time.

Third time through the order. How much was predetermined by the front office? (Kevin Cash says hi back in 2020.)

 

[jon abbey]

Hey, it's Big Mouth Bellinger. Who is guessing K besides me?

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

If the score holds and the Yankees can't win two straight against Cleveland, then the biggest media market left in the playoffs will be Houston, home to the team most fans don't want to win. MLB must not be overly thrilled at the prospect.

 

[jon abbey]

4 outs left.

They asked for chaos when they expanded the playoffs to overfill their pockets, and chaos they shall have.

 

[scottyno]

No team with 110 plus wins ever failed to make the LCS or, before the LCS, the World Series. The ‘01 Mariners lost in the ALCS, and all the other teams made the World Series.

Only 2 other teams who won 110+ didn't automatically make the WS, the 02 Ms and the 98 Yankees

 

[bosox188]

4 outs left.

Oh good are we counting down this time, thank god

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Hey, it's Big Mouth Bellinger. Who is guessing K besides me?

The baseball gods give him a different F8.

Four.

Evan Phillips was standing in the bullpen readying to throw as Alex Vesia finished off that inning. So he was available after all.

someone ask Zack Britton for comment

 

[mauidano]

Wow. Suarez is dominating.

 

[jon abbey]

Three

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

That kind of Lux just ain't for us.

Three!

 

[LogansDad]

Absolute filth. Good gracious.

 

[bosox188]

SIT. THREE.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Bellinger was like an 8 WAR player just a few years ago.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Suarez has been a monster

 

[jon abbey]

Bellinger was like an 8 WAR player just a few years ago.

He always had a crazy swing though, I never understood how guys didn't exploit it constantly even when he was MVP. He is a great defender though, at CF and 1B both.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Phillips in, too late to do much but hold on for one more inning.
