All Belli, no flop.
Clayton Kershaw vs. Wade Miley
Are you awake? Are you alive?
In a 5+ hour Game 4 that felt like it took about 5 days (and at least 5 years off our lives), the Dodgers finally bounced back. The NLCS is now tied, thanks to the combined heroics of the Dodger bullpen(!!!), Brain Dozier (an early RBI single after most were shocked he was even starting), Manny Machado (a 13th inning single followed by taking second on a wild pitch, plus some...other stuff), and Cody Bellinger (walk-off single and the above game-saving catch).
Look for today's game to be ~NARRATIVE CITY~ with the FS1 broadcast (which, to this point, has been AWFUL, even by FOX standards) focusing on both the now-villainous Manny Machado and the postseason woes of Clayton Kershaw. The Manny complaints are legitimate, as last night's kicking of Aguilar's leg at first base was, at worst, dirty, and, at best, massively stupid. The Kershaw story? Well, that's up for him to write. We've seen both sides this postseason, and we're ready for the good chapter again.
So, take a late lunch, because this one's a weird-ass day game. At least it should end at a reasonable time, right? Right?
GO BLUE!

My work is having a "Dodger Baseball Hot Dog Party" today. That gives me permission to work in the kitchen and watch the game right?

Not only permission, Quad. It's pretty much a command
HOT DOG PARTY!
That's what I figured Orel. Plus I'll get to swoop in on any left over hot dogs!
Miley pulled after walking Bellinger. Turner gets hit by a pitch. And we strand them both after Machado GIDP.
Kershaw gets through 2 innings in just 22 pitches.
Scoreless through 2.
Joe Buck announcing that the Brewers pulling Miley after one batter may have been a bit of gamesmanship. Trying to get the Dodgers to set their lineup for a left handed starter, then pulling him immediately.
The Dodgers may have suspected it by starting Bellinger and Muncy.
Cain with an RBI double. Brewers strike first. 1-0 in the third.
It always amazes me how Kershaw is forever unable to stay out of his own head in these situations.
Kershaw walks Braun to load the bases. Certainly this will not come back to haunt us
Kershaw in some trouble here now. Bases loaded for Aguilar with two down.
Hey Quad how are the hot dogs?
Woodruff walks Kershaw
The hot dogs were delicious because they were free! Costco dogs. Still plenty left here.
Costco dogs rule. Grab one for me please
Shocked Counsell didn't try to challenge that call at first base, he's challenged everything else.
Counsell just challenged your comment Cliffy
HIT HIT ALERT A HIT
Oh yeah, well I challenge his challenge!
(GETSS FIRED UP!!)
I actually like the trio of Big Hurt, Big Papi, and ARod.
Greetings from reserve section 2. Hanging with the husker
Loving SOSG TODD. which of you other madmen and ladies are in the house? I regret my second hot dog
Thank you 🙏
Just heard back from New York. Counsell's challenge of Cliffy's comment is overturned and Cliffy's challenge or Counsell's challenge is upheld! The ruling: Dodgers win
Taylor out here makin' shit happen!
Barnsey!
Annnd here we go. Kershaw's nemesis: The 6th inning of a critical playoff game.
*curls up into fetal position*
Two down...
THANK YOU, Big Blue Dodger in the Sky!
*spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch
No more GIDPs, Machado
Oooh, Woodruff getting spicy. At least he can't ground out this time.
It's about time for Muncy to do something.
RUN! Eat shit, Dandruff!
He heard ya! 2-1 Dodgers!
Gimli, Gloin, and the other dwarves of Middle Earth celebrate as Muncy, one of their own, comes through in the clutch!
You are the Machado Whisperer, Orel. And I speak to the Funky One.
Burnes looks like Woodruff in disguise.
Can we stop looking at strike 3, please?
We need a Kiké whisperer stat!
Scratch that. Call up the Puig whisperer!
I have so little faith in Puig.
I DO IT ALL! BRING ME ALL YOUR SLUMPING DODGERS!
Oh gawd, why press your luck with Kersh in the 7th??
There's the zero we needed!
We're becoming Codypendent! Double puts men on 2nd & 3rd with one out. JT up
JT single + FC = 4-1 Dodgers!
They're startin' to feel it.
Don't let this be Machado about nothing
5-1!
TWO MORE OUTS
STILL TWO MORE OUTS
Oh look, Granderson isn't just an automatic out.
WIN! 3-2 series lead!
WIN
Woohoo! Series lead going back to MIL.
