Thanks for the bday gift Dodgers. I will take the series sweep as my present.
Happy Birthday Dave. Now we need a WS championship for Christmas.
So does Shohei start Gsme 1? I think this might be their hardest series. 5 games leaves not much breathing room for a bad game.
Wah-Ooh!! On to Philadelphia. Cheese Steaks for everyone.
The Revenge of 1995 is complete. A dish best served 30 years later.
Thank you Japan
Dodgers win!!
Woo-HOO!!
If this was football, I would say they will have a few things to clean up when they watch the video.
Starting pitching and offense looking good. Defense and bullpen need work.
Sigh. Shoulda let Freddie get it.
Roki Sasakiwalker. A New Hope.
What might we have here now? Roki Sasaki!!!
Let’s go Roki!
Autocorrect is very strange sometimes.
Sasaki looks amped.
Need to get Max and Andy going if the Dodgers want to keep winning. Because others will cool down at some point. Need at least 3 or 4 consistently productive hitters in each series.
Max has quietly been on base 4 out of 9 plate appearances and score 2 runs. But sure would be nice to see some slugging from him .
For whatever reason I didn’t really feel stress in the 8th inning either night. Helps the Dodgers have scored 18 runs in 2 games.
Not me. I’ve been so stressed! I need to take a page out of your book.
I would have been chewing through steel beams if either game had been only 1 or 2 run leads.
Whew!!
Breathe out!
Vesia gets 2 k’s!!
Why can’t our bullpen throw strikes?
Good grief.
Why does the k count against the first batter but awarded to the second pitcher?
Doc managing by his churning jut.
Removing Sheehan in the middle of an at bat? That’s… unusual.
I think this is the right move by Doc. Sheehan is all over the place.
DP? Maybe?
Walked them full. Sheesh. The meltdown factor is contagious at this point.
I mean – how bad can our bullpen actually be? Batters are licking their chops at this point.
The bullpen curse is hovering… Can we please dispel it?!?!?!
C’mon Kike. Geez!!
Em from the Pen
And now the drama begins.
Teo looked safe to me.
Huh. Call is confirmed.
Safe but hard to overturn.
Mook is going bananas !
Don’t be walking to get to Mookie!
Mookie magic!
Ben bunting machine.
Still uneasy with Treinen.
What a gritty and amazing performance. Bases loaded, no outs, and he comes out clean. So special.
Great job Yamamoto
Nine Ks!!!
Kike’ time
Max OB machine.
Teo atones!
In play more runs!
Redemption time Teo.
Oh Mookie!
Wah-Hoo!! Big win now on to Philadelphia. Sasaki could and hopefully will be a big improvement to the bullpen. I would like to see the Dodgers go with Pages in RF, Edman in CF, and Teo in LF. I hope we don’t have to endure more of Conforto. He should not be on the NLDS roster.
