somebody vs somebody else
Shit, I guess I gotta do one of these threads, no?
Anyhoo, after a gutty Game 1 victory, every aspect of the Dodgers' game has been laid bare: The starters are toast, the bats can't hit lefties (and barely righties) and even Kenley Jansen imploded in a non-save situation yesterday.
On the other hand, the middle relief has been great. Who would have guessed that after the first half of the season?
It's the last gasp, folks. Once more chance for the rally thong to work its magic. One more chance for Dodger fans to postpone crushing disappointment for another day.

that's a wrap
Been here done that. It's over folks.
(channeling my inner Karina)
This will be Kershaw's fourth postseason start on short rest. Here's the line on his last three combined:
19.0 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 23 K, 1.89 ERA
I'll take it! Let's go boys!
I'm feeling this, boys. We're winning today.
(We'll lose Game 5, but we're still winning today.)
LET'S GET...this over with
Kid K is my boy. I'll go with him any day.
Need a complete game shut out from Kershaw, and a first inning dinger from Seager. That will pretty much seal the deal for a game 4 win.
Big strikeout on Werth. Still two on, one out.
Clayton has no curveball today. Already down 1-0, 23 pitches and only one out
Need a GIDP here...pop fly to short right, I'll take it. Two outs.
Kid K's working hard. 25 pitches, two outs.
Charley jinxes this next AB by saying "Ryan Zimmerman...has struggled to a .218 season".
Ah, Zimmerman is doing well this postseason...
I swear I am going to reach through my tv screen, grab Harold Reynolds by the throat and bash his big mouthed head against my kitchen counter.
Big exhale for Kershaw as he's walking off. Down 1-0 going to the bottom of the 1st.
Fly out to Reddick. 27 pitches for Clayton in the first.
Oyster Pubes is doing Toyota commercials? Boooooo
Utley's out before I could even sit down
Turner gets nailed in the back of the shoulder.
AGONEEEEEEEEE!!!!
YEAH!!!
Sweet swing by AGon!
AGon showed up!
Clayton has a great second inning. 2-1 LA.
We need more runs.
The Sons are all over on WA, instead of this thread.
Except for Dusty. He's getting Cheez-Its.
Ross has been wild. Almost threw one to the backstop on Joc.
0-2 count up to 2-2 on Joc
And, Joc Ks. That's his FIFTH K this series.
Fucking Grandal does nothing from the plate, again.
Grandal: worst BA in the lineup
Werth's barrel role is a work of beauty.
And, Joe Ross has an easy second inning as well.
HIT THE FUCKING BALL, GUYS
First and third, one out (called K to Harper). Top 3
0-2 on Murphy. Finish him.
Murphy sac fly ties it at 2.
0-2 fastball over the plate was not smart.
In the fourth through ninth innings this series, the Dodgers have only scored in ONE of those possible 18 frames (Ruiz HR)
2-2 through 2.5 innings.
If we don't score in the third here, we won't score again...so we've got to break through now
Kershaw with a leadoff double to left!!!!
"Kershaw does so many things...including determination." --Rock Monday
I didn't know Kershaw does determination.
Kershaw is going to will this team to a win!
we're going to strand our pitcher who hit a leadoff double. Fucking. A.
I hope Kershaw can do some determination out there, while Turner is at the plate with two out.
Kershaw indeed DOES do determination! And JT gets an RB!! What happened there, I'm not watching....
Sounds like Trea Turner missed the play?
3-2 LA. Turner at first. A-Gon up
Woooo!
Come on, A-Gon
Bases loaded.....
That's a good thing right?
Pederson is not going to have a bigger AB than this
and, Pederson gets hit. I'll take it.
4-2 LA. And here's my friend, Yasmani Grandal, with rancho ardiendo.
Now would be a good time to shut me up, Yaz.
Just get a hit Yaz.
Or get hit
Nope! Yaz grounds out to third. GRANDAL, YOU SUCK
4-2 LA. should have been more. We won't hold this lead for the rest of the game.
Welp
typical
what? Espinoza wasn't HBP?
two out in the fourth
1-2-3. Yeah mama.
1-2-3. BOO mama
noice
Dodgers need to bottle up Kershaw's determination. He is stepping big time. Dodgers might actually win this game.
need some runs here
one pitch one out for JT to lead the fifth
Time for the 4pm station ID on klac
two ground outs to SS espinoza
Got anything, Reddick?
Charley why the fuck are you talking about flying out to Washington, at this stage of the game
Reddick safe on an error.
Ok Pederson, HR here. NOT a strikeout. HR.
Or, a double. I'll take it.
WAY TO GO JOC!
5-2 LA
And, here's Grandal again, with another RISP (and two out)
Joc thought he hit a HR.
Dodgers 1-for-4 with RISP. Not sure if that's before or after Joc's double (GameDay is slow)
Actually I thnk Turner's single to score Kershaw is the 1. Reddick on first for Joc's double doesn't count.
Grandal with ANOTHER K. Seriously, where the fuck is Grandal this series? Out getting more tattoos?
@Quad 4.07p: Rick Monday (on radio) said that Joc thought he had made an out, not a HR. You would know better though as I haven't seen the play
His bat flip looked more like he was confident it was going out. When it bounced against the wall, he started to run hard to make sure he got the double.
I know Kershaw is having a great day (9 Ks through 5 innings), but I am not thinking we are out of the woods by any means.
Charley on the other hand is ready to knight him in this game. Still a lot of baseball to play.
And, Werth leadsoff with a hit.
Murphy flies to Toles. One out. That's key
Pederson with a big catch on that one...two out
Noice Joc!
Kershaw gets his 10th K!
Wow we should put him on three days rest all the time.
5-2, mid-6
Time to do something Chase.
kershaw works a one-out walk. B6
karen beats me to the punch on Utley
Utley Ks. Well done.
Second K for Seager. Not a good game, 0-for-4 with 2Ks. Dodgers now 1-for-5 with RISP
Espinosa with a basehit to lead the seventh. I am worried. We're leaning too much on Clayton
Kershaw at 90 pitches
Severino K. Clayton has 11Ks
see how much easier the outfield can play when players listen to pederson?
Pederson calls off Toles for out #2
Trea Turner with yet another hit. First and second, two out.
i am so nervous here.
staying with Kershaw, with 102 pitches and the tying run at the plate. And it's harper.
I would not be doing this.
Calling Public Enemy Number One!
It's not like Werth has been on fire or anything. I need a drink.
Werth is going to GS here, I know it.
Don't Pedro please.
Baez hits him. And now here's Murphy. This is a disaster
Get Baez out of there
Baez is back to being Baez
I can't look.. and i don't even have a tv... yikes
Just need one stinking out bullpen. Come on!
Yeah, you da man Baez.
Well that sucked.
This is on you, Dave Roberts.
5-5. Baez and Avilan both choked.
FUCK
We don't deserve to win this game. We let Clayton Kershaw down after an incredible performance. Fuck this shit. I'm out.
Can Murphy be banned from California? Or at least Chavez Ravine?
(And Sax - you're not going anywhere. Unless you want to meet me at synagogue :-)
I hate that guy.
Murphy, not Sax.
:-) Sax has only given the Dodgers love! Except for traffic control.
Blanton is still the man. But he's too late. Tied going to the bottom of the seventh.
Kershaw tagged with 5 ER. Where's the shutout when u need it?
Terrible bunt attempt by Turner.
Puig and the Dodgers get robbed on a check swing call by the home plate ump. Even Harold said Puig didn't swing.
Crowd chanting "Blue you suck!"
nice
Blanton has a 1-2-3 inning.
Two on two out in the 8th for Utley
CHASE FUCKIN UTLEY
Attaboy Utley!
Lets all sit in harmony, channel our inner Karina and win this motherfucker.
Kenley in for the ninth.
Strikeout for KJ!
Strikeout number 2 for KJ!
Nice to see Kenley back on point I hope I didn't say that too soon
Even Mary Hart is standing!
....and unclench bishes...
Weak grounder gets him! Party time!
holy shit, we won.
okay, i'm back.
thanks for the kind words, DD and Q7. I'm spent.
That was...tense.
That was a rollercoaster game fo sho!
Glad you're back Saxy!! We missed you!
Checking in from school: Holy shit, looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
Let's smash our heads against the cement again tomorrow!
Dodgers have only a 42% chance of winning game 5, acc to 538.com
I am pretty sure 538.com also thought maeda would win game 3, as the highest-odds game of the first three matches
I will be available for headsmashing tomorrow
Me F: you in the La area?
