Clayton Kershaw (regular season: 18-4, 2.31) vs Taijuan Walker (RS: 9-9, 3.49).
Based on the wild card and playoff games played so far, here are some things we can expect from this game:
- a three-run home run in the first inning
- starting pitchers get rocked
- Jose Altuve hits three home runs (how he gets in this game I don't know but trust me on this one)
- useless reliever (Pedro Baez) faces sure-thing slugger (Paul Goldschmidt) (yikes emoji!)
- an 18-out save (paging Kenley Jansen)
- people complaining about TBS's tiny score bug

The bottom of the order doesn't intimidate
I’m totally freaked out
This it boys and girls. Let's get game one!
Why is Puig batting fifth
Aside from the fact Cody needs protection and Grandy and Logan aren’t it
There you go
Grandy could have referred to Granderson or Grandal, both have been weak at the plate.
I'm a freaking wreck. Everyone have alcohol, seat belts and puke bags at the ready.
HERE WE GO
Dusty up in dis bish!
Hot dogs and Sam Adams Octoberfest in hand. Let's go!
Sam Octoberfest for me, too, 7777!
Should we bring Baez to face Goldschmidt now?
^in
Dusty in da house!! I've missed you dude.
Cheers Dusty!
I fixed my laptop so I can actually post now.
1-2-3-4 inning WOOHOO
Goldy and JD down on strikes!
Great, Clay is 25% of the way through his pitching for tonight.
Welcome to dis bish, Dusty!
Bish wishes to all!
CT3!!
Nervously playing MPQ now.
CT1!
First two men on! I likes it.
SoFi ads. How sophisticated.
Turner!!
JUSTIN TURNER LADIES AND GENTS!!
FUCK YEAH
That ball was crushed!
"a three-run home run in the first inning"
AHEM
You were dead on with that prediction.
Walkers ERA is infinity
And beyond
30 pitches already.
Just hope kershaw stays awake
That's ok, YP, keep fouling em off all night!
Clay is playing ping pong somewhere probably.
And beyond
4-0! Puig with a big hit!
Puig your friend!!!
Puig'n baby!
Walkers second 40 pitches tend to be better
Grandson should have jammed that pitch into Glendale.
Puigtastic.
My second 40oz tends to be better.
Bringing his ERA down to 108
Grand1 strikes out. Grand2 up now.
Our Grands and anything but.
Not so Grand
DAMMIT
Go ham Clayton
Disappointed in those last few ABs. We had our boots to their throats.
^ That's a totally irrational, emotional comment from me but it is what I'm feeling.
The long inning didn't affect Kersh.
Darn it, Cody
Solo bomb for the D-Bags. 4-1.
Wrong flavor A.J.
okay. I've held my tongue since we took Granderson on at the deadline. Can hold it no longer. This dude is our 2017 version of Andrue Jones. Dude needs to grow a pair, get some wood in his bat or somewhere and do his fucking job.
The announcers saying "Sager" instead of "Seager" is annoying.
Seager looking good! RBI single to left.
Turner with another RBI! 6-1 boys in blue!
Rancho ardiendo for Puig!
That little bouncer to first brings memories of Bill Buckner and Game 6.
Puig grounds out but another run comes in. 7-1 now.
I should be hitting in the 6 hole.
Epale, fam! Why did Granderson have to ruin the fun?
Suit up Karen. You're in!
VIN IN THE HOUSE!!!
Arya's death list: A.J. Pollack. J.D. Martinez.
Kershaw starts the 7th with 92 pitches
One out
Marte HR makes it 7-3
Mathis HR makes it 7-4
Maybe they should re-program Kershaw's phone and steal all his calendars, so he thinks it's September.
October is Kershaw's SuperMan III version of kryptonite .
He was clearly gassed. Worrisome.
Let's see what the bullpen can do. First test.
Cardinals flashbacks. Oh god what the hell?
Hey, they were all solo dingers. If it's going to happen might as well be in a game where we score 7
Just when I thought I could turn my attention to the new Child's Play on Netflix.
Chucky can wait .
As long as we come out ahead, I totally got your back Orel!
WE GOT THIS
@karen 8:58p: absolutely with you on Granderson. Time to show up, dude
Puig'n baby, just Puig'n on a Friday night.
PUIG! Leadoff triple in B7 and he is ready to rock with that slide.
Now karen, let's see if Curtis reads this blog.
X-Men Days of Future Past Quicksilver > Puig > Avengers 2 Quicksilver
Wow, announcers are actually extolling the virtues of Puig. Impressive.
Puig!
Grandy can't even hit it deep enough for a sac fly. What the fuck. We may as well have Pederson.
At least Pederson hits HR every once in a while
Couldn't bring Yasiel home from third. What a waste of skin.
Grandal, you fucking suck with the bat.
Grandy can't even hit it deep enough for a sac fly. What the fuck. We may as well have Pederson.
Time to start Barnes.
Orel why are you and I saying the same thing
@Orel, your humor at 10:29 took me a second. I get it. Granderson / Grandal, both useless 0-for-4s tonight
Forsythe has been shitty in the field
Big double play in the 8th! Going to the bottom of the inning still up by 3.
Logie-Bear not involved in the double play.
MORE LIKE LOGY BEAR AMIRITE
Barnes, 1-for-1. Need I say more.
TBS announcer liking how the AZ catcher moves. Weird.
1.000 average > .000 average.
Seager and Turner with 8th inning RBIs. 9-4!
That's more like it. 9-4
Top five of our order have been great!
Kenley time!
KJ not looking sharp here
Just like Clayton
9-5, Seager error allows a run in.
Orel, you're becoming a Kershaw hater
Jesus what a way to end it
WIN
What a catch by KJ to end it! Win!
Does that make you a Jansen hater, Sax?
Kershaw 1st career postseason win at home???
@Orel 11:09p. No. but fair call.
I'm going tomorrow. Let's do this.
Grandy gold by Orel. digging it dude.
