Zack Greinke (17-8, 2.71) vs. Lance Lynn (15-10, 2.74).
It's a little bit earlier in the postseason than I thought we'd have to experience a must-win game, but here we are. Yesterday's gut-wrenching Game 1 loss means that Zack Greinke had better have broad shoulders to keep the Dodgers in the NLDS hunt. The good news is, with the exception of Dee Gordon and Juan Uribe, all of the Dodgers starters had a multi-hit game today, with many of those hits coming off the Cardinals' #1 pitcher, Adam Wainwright.
The bad news is, Lynn is 3-1 all-time with a 4.50 ERA against the Dodgers. (Greinke is 9-4 with a 3.17 ERA against the Cardinals for his career.)
Lance Lynn has a lot of Ls in his name. I'd like to give him another one today.

Why obviously?
Tim Brown @TBrownYahoo 11m11 minutes ago
Joe Torre says no warnings to start game in LA tonight. And, obviously, no suspension for Yadi.
Gordon 2B
Puig CF
Gonzalez 1B
Kemp RF
Ramirez SS
Crawford LF
Uribe 3B
Ellis C
Greinke P
Zimmermannnnnn going for the CGSHO. Starts the 9th with 88 pitches
Maybe "obviously he wasn't suspended because he's in the lineup," not "it's obvious he shouldn't be suspended for his actions."
K
Got it, Gnomes. Guess I'm a little tired
2 out
walks Panik
Look at Matt Williams, taking his best pitcher out
Wow. Holy shit. Giants more pixie dust
PUBES OUT AT THE PLATE!!
But game now tied.
Dodgers might have gotten their dicks kicked in the dirt last night, but at least they did it in regulation play. Fuck extra innings!
We got this.
Good job, Clippers
Ump needs to be tossed.
Great job, Cabrera. Get yourself thrown out of the game
The Giants are going to win this, aren't they
Orel...I gotta baaad feeling.
Black Eyed Peas song or Star Wars quote
Going to the bottom of the 11th
Oh man. 6 minutes till game time. This girl is nervous.
C'mon, Werth
Hello Spank!

Giants about to take the lead
ONE OUT MORAL VICTORY
JESUS ZACK NOT NOW
A.J.'s botched block allows Jay to take second
Took 28 pitches but Zanky K's Holliday
Costas paying homage to Dodger Stadium.
Okay Bob, I like you.
Just don't piss me off.
Unscathed, baby!
All good going to bot of 1!!
Winning run on second for Nats with 1 out.
I think Dee might be feeling the yips a little.
Walk away Yasiel. Molina is a punk ass.
Nats have two on, two out
Good catch Matty!!
Crawford thought there were two out? Nice focus, Carl
No Joe Buck so that's a plus. Sounds like Harold Reynolds is still color commentating though. That mumbling son of a bitch.
Zack throwing too many pitches. Cardinals know to take a lot
All's well going to bot of 2.
27 pitches through 2
let's get some runs now!!
go Dodgers!
Piece of cake...
Beer Check what are y'all drinking?
Dusty...A banana shake. Virgin. It. Not me.

At least Lynn is throwing a lot of pitches too
Damn

Is that Cookie sitting with Magic?
Yep. He's beyond woeful.

Making me laugh Spanky!

same seat,same shirt,same cap,same suspender,same diaper.Larry King in da house,yo

Go Greinks!!
I've had my eyes closed and my fingers in my ears since last night. Is it safe to come out yet?
Postseason baseball is s l o w
Not yet, Stubbs
missed the tag. Greinke should be safe
Stubbs...I don't know if it's safe but come join us on the dark side anyway.
No challenge?
Zack should get second here.
safe.thank you,Samsung
Nats v Gnats is endless agony.
AGON!!! AGAIN!!!
Agone RBI single. yeah man
GONZOOOOOOOOO
More runs please, Mr Kemp
Indeed

MKW needs to do more nekked dancing in the moonlight.
Cards dealt with.
nice inning by Greinks
damn. just fair. dude got lucky
Sons of Steve Garvey @sosgsosg 2m2 minutes ago
Cardinals get their first sign-stealer of the game.
didn't steal that sign
Who knew D.C. had a marine layer?
That OTHER game is still going.
I am totally freaked out here.
I've totally changed my setup at home. I'm not watching the game online. I have a new Dodgers hat on. I'm doing Gameday on my iPhone from a different room.
I'm not moving.
I missed it. AJ took a bad foul off the mask?
Ellis' average drops with that ground out
Drops from .833 that is
Sax...It's working. Stay put.
Ironically, Ellis is still hitting worse than Greinke (1.000)
DON'T DIVE HEAD FIRST ZACK!!!
@karen: I'm not moving!
The only problem is, when I see long pauses like the challenge on the Dee Gordon almost GIDP, I start freaking out
Gordon finally breaks through
Lynn paused so long I thought my feed froze up
Lynn at 80 pitches.
Game in D.C. is turning into a classic. Let's hope it has a classic ending
Fuck,Puig! Come on man
Lets hope the giants shoot their whole wad tonight and lose anyway.
that sucked
Puig needs to step up. They're in his head
If it's any consolation, Bryce Harper is 0 for 7 tonight
Dammit, that's gonna haunt us
On the SNLA pregame show they were saying that Wainwrong threw at Yasiel to get in his head and take him out of his game.
I'm scared.
Brandon FUCKING Belt.
Every damn break goes those guy's way.
#devilmagic
don't get cute,Greinke. just pitch,mofo
Kevin Baxter @kbaxter11 27s28 seconds ago
Kershaw was at 80 pitches when he blew up Friday. Greinke is at 83 now after walking Adams. #Dodgers #NLDS
Great change by Zack.
nassssssty
BIG K FOR ZACK!!!
Beast
Thank the gods!
Thank the Jeter!
Booing CP3 could become a tradition at Dodger Stadium
YEAH MATTY BABY!!
if the Nats tie it up in the top of the bottom of the 18th,do they go into penalty kicks?
nice typing there,spank
We've got to win this, if only because the Cards will just roll over for the fucking Giants like last time.
If we want it done right, we're gonna have to do it ourselves.
I'M DOWN FOR THAT TRADITION,OREL!
Strut your free agent stuff HanRam
gotta score some runs here. Just got to.
Damnit,Crawdude
Lynn getting ripe for the pickin'
come on,Urine!!! hit the shit outta the ball
Table set for Zack.
Do it,Greinke!! Just do it!!!
Dammit. made them sweat but dammit
Leaving the bases juiced. That might not be good.
Dammit, that's gonna haunt us
Nats do nothing. It's all on us.
Fucking Nats
Damn you Orel. Well, kind of.
Ha!
winning it all while going through the Cards,Gnats and Angels would be the sweetest Championship ever.
GOOD JOB ZACK
now get some runs ya Bums
Amen, Spank. But the most ulcer-inducing championship ever as well
true dat,Orel. Milk purchases would spike up 1000 percent in So Cal.
They keep pitching Gordon down and away
Orel & Spank...And Pepto
Mart Hart just sent me a text. She said John Tesh is a douchebag.
Man, Puig has just been terrible
Puig is not good tonight
I'm resigned to having to deal with SF, but if The OC team gets through, I'm going to be slightly miffed.
Puig's first golden sombrero?
Puig is not good tonight
Shit. Two runs might not cut it
Apple II action at it's finest right now.
Would've though 9 runs would cut it, but hey, this is our life now...
Dylan Hernandez @dylanohernandez now6 seconds ago
Greinke returns to mound for the eighth inning.
Nope. Not the first by any means.
What could possibly go wrong?
Atta boy Zack. Great job tonight.
Zack out
The Tustin Angels of Irvine-adjacent? Yeah, that's them.
i would have left Greinke in. I also would have left Kershaw in last night so what the fuck do I know.
And it begins
Leaving pitchers in too long is a time-honored tradition
Nobody Taveras gets the hit off JP.
Fucking Tweeker.
Here we go.
You were saying?
Life is suffering.
Zack's brilliant night undone.
Whatever pitching choice Mattingly makes, it is always wrong.
Wow. Two runs on what, four pitches?
Bronx cheers for Donnie??
He going to have a lot of 'splaining to do.
It's League? Swell.
$200 million roster. Five and Dime manager.
I am so done with mattingly. When met jeny brought in that pitcher to relieve wainwright yesterday, and he have up two straight walks, he immediately yanked him. Donnie can't make a good pitching decision
^metheny
Watchale! The gas tanks are full and the fire trucks are in the shop for repairs.
Stepping in just to express my outright disgust over these last two games.
If we lose this series, Mattingly's gone. No doubt.
Mattingly has nothing to work with
If we aren't going to get rid of Donnie, can we at least send him to Dominican Republic winter managing school?
An out! An out!
i think there was someone in J.P's beard tipping off the Cardinals batters.
SCORESOMERUNSGODDAMNIT
Why the IBB to Adams, the guy who can't hit?
Oh, I guess that GIDP is why
We're all good people, right? We're not pedophiles. We're not serial killers. Why then? Why the fuck why??
AND THAT'S WHY THIS LADY IS A MATT TRAMP!!!
YES YES YES YES...........
Kemp lives!
Matt Kemp, I love you.
SOMETHING GOOD
Smart,Rojas. Smart. I like that.
The man is a BEAST!
Wow, all this took was for karen to remind people we aren't serial killers
Who'd have thunk?
How did Rojas get on?
@ Saxy
First pitch bunting
