Game 160 Thread: Sept. 26 vs. Rockies, 7p

Roberto Hernandez (8-11, 4.08) vs. Jordan Lyles (7-3, 4.15).

Division champs! It's got a nice ring to it, but there's small chance the Dodgers could still be playing meaningful baseball this weekend. While the they've secured home-field advantage in the NLDS (against either the Cardinals or Pirates), the Dodgers are two sweeps away from owning the best record in the NL. That is, if the Dodgers sweep the Rox and the Nationals get swept by the Marlins. Unlikely, so in the meanwhile just enjoy some baseball to get you warmed up for the postseason.

UPDATE: Nats beat the Marlins in Game 1 of today's doubleheader, ensuring at least a tie for the best record in the NL (they own the tiebreaker by having gone 4-2 against the Dodgers this season).

I will never understand Turner playing short

It's pretty crazy that Washington will have played 4 games between our last game and tonight's game

any word on the ankle that Kemp tweaked on Wednesday night? He went out in the field after that so I am guessing it's fine but I'll be worried until I see him in Game 1

or sooner

Gotta put in a competitive team for the paying public. Saying that I would have liked seeing Pederson get a start.

Fred's Brim said...

@spank me too. I would love to give Puig's ankle, hip, wrist and teeth as much rest as possible

Dodgers and Padres each up 1-0.

Pirates won. St Louis losing.

@ FB

I don't think we can expect Muttingly to do the right thing and rest Puig a bit. He's a buffoon.
