Walker Buehler vs. Patrick Corbin.
Still with us? After dropping off the Game Thread treadmill earlier this year, I figured I had better put up a NLDS GT for posterity. The Nationals come in with a head of steam after beating Milwaukee in the Wild Card Game on Tuesday, but using aces Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg in the process. Today's LAT indicated that if Washington loses today, "the Nationals are in real trouble."
Well, the same could be said for the Dodgers with a Game 1 loss today. The Dodgers only wield a 52% chance of winning this first best-of-five series, in which randomness can play a HUGE part. I'm nervous. Strap in.
Go Dodgers!

AM I TOO LATE???
LUXY BABY!
Man, gonna go on such comment streak here
As usual, Dodgers wait to crack it open. Lux HR makes it 5-0 in the 8th
Buehler was pretty great. Kolarek did his job. Kenta was great. Hearing Kelly gets the 9th
Dodgers loaded the bases in the 1st but got only 1 run when Corbin walked one in
It was that kind of game
JOC!
JT has looked out of sync all night, although he did get a single on a blooper
Kelly to close it out
Leadoff double
One down
Kelly touching 99
Two down
WIN
Kelly Ks Soto with a 98-mph heater
Wow, we threw a 2-hitter!

Kershaw P
Astros beat Rays, Braves beat Cards
Pollock looked terrible swinging at three sliders in the dirt.
Kershaw didn’t look great in the first either. 1-0 Curly Ws after one.
Kershaw has now hit two batters.
...and given up 3 runs. Going to the bottom of the third.
Kershaw almost got our first hit. He was robbed by Soto in left.
That’s two 1-2-3 innings in a row for Kersh. Time for the bats to wake up.
Will Smith broke up the perfecto. And we stranded him. Still 3-0 in the top of the sixth.
Kershaw due up second. He’s probably done. WE NEED SOME DAMN HITS!!!!
Dodgers need to do something soon. they look feeble.
We’re on the board! 3-1 going to the seventh.
Second and third with two down for the Nats. Pennywise coming in. I’m scared.
Howdy people. I’m at the Stadium.
May coming in with two RISP and two out. This is critical.
Broken bat ground out! Kendrick floats back to the dugout. Stretch time.
noice
Hi Sax! Tell the boys to start getting some hits!
MUNCY!!!!
Scherzer is warming in the bullpen. Crazy.
Greetings from 31RS during game two. Delino and his elder human offspring are enjoying the comradere and tension one only finds during dodgers playoffs. Rock on !
This has been a tense game
Scherzer in relief
Well...Hopefully this means Scherzer doesn’t start game 3. He was nasty!
Last chance for us. 4-2 bottom of the ninth coming up.
time to pace
Turner with a leadoff double!
JT leads off the 9th with a double

Bellinger jersey T-shirt on. Dirty gamer fitted hat on. Beer in a Dodger coozy in hand. Let’s do this!
I thought Muncy barreled that one up. Damn.
Turner with a nice single. Two on for Bellinger.
Sanchez strikes out Belli with a 74 mph pitch. That’s nasty.
Rancho Ardiendeo!!
Pollock fouling off a few pitches. Sanchez up to 27 pitches.
71 mph junk ball gets Pollock swinging.
pollock k's with the bases loaded just as i put the game on. ain't that a bitch.
Home plate ump squeezing Ryu a little more than Sanchez. Only the first and I’m already yelling at the tv.
Shit.
Let’s get it back now boys!
3 more Ks for us. Terrible.
they may need glasses
Turner with a double off the wall. He’s seeing it well.
Bellinger with a weak fly out. Our guys are not adjusting to the slow speed of Sanchez yet.
horrid
Ryu with another 1-2-3 inning. Time for the bats to wake up.
come on Roberts light a fire under their asses. fuck
i've never seen so many strikeouts by a team in 3 consecutive games like the Dodgers are doing now. it's amazing and alarming at the same time. wow
You said it Spank! It’s ridiculous.
Corbin warning in the pen for the Nats. We still can’t hit Sanchez.
2-1 now thanks to a blast from Muncy. WE NEED MORE HITS!!!
Looks like Sanchez is done. We’re still down 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth. Ryu has been cruising since giving up the 2 run bomb.
Ryu in a bit of trouble now in the fifth. Two out and two on.
Ryu gets out of it. Down by one going to the sixth.
Corbin in for the sixth.
Bellinger with a leadoff single in the sixth!! Let’s go!!
Seager down looking. One down. Pollock up.
fuck man
Pollock down swinging. Freese up with two down.
Freese with a base hit! Runners on the corners now.
MARTIN!
Hell yes!!
2 RBI double for Martin gives us a 3-2 lead.
CT3 walks. Now Kiké up with two on.
Kiké coming through! It’s 5-2 now!
TURNER!!!
3 run bomb for Turner makes it 8-2! And Bellinger gets a double. His second hit of the inning.
now if only the pitching would match the hitting and vice versa i wouldn't be punching walls
Joe Kelly is going to give me a heart attack.
Kelly walks 3, gives up a single and a wild pitch. Leaves them loaded with Urias coming in. What a mess!
8-3 now with the bases loaded and nobody out.
i'll take that double play even though that run scored.
Agreed Spanky! 8-4 going to the seventh.
Hey it's the Quad & Spank show!
That bases-loaded opportunity we just blew better not come back to haunt us
9 more outs. pitchers need to bear down
what the hell was that corny shit
Gerard O'Parra's walkup music/dance
baby shark. wtf
Are we worried about Kelly
I mean at least Bellinger is making contact?
Kelly looked awful!
Kolarek 3 - Soto 0.
Maeda gets his two batters. Going to the ninth now. You think Kenley will be used tonight?
MARTIN!!
Two run bomb makes it 10-4!
Russ has 4 RBIs tonight.
Russell Martin, Dodgers' 2019 MVP
Kenley with 5 runs to work with
i think he can hold them for the win,Orel

Hey guys! That was a great DP.
1-0 LA through 2.
not doing a lot with that pitch count in T3.
TNT switches over to Empire Strikes Back! Hmm, this is a tough one.
Luke's in Hoth, Hill's on the mound
stoopid shift
I don't like this situation. Eaton is a gamer.
bases loaded one out.
Rich Hlll only lasts 2 2/3. He leaves the bases loaded in a tie.
Bases loaded again
only need one out
Why not bring in Kolarek to face Soto if you're going to pull Hill now
Maeda to the rescue!
Maeda comes in and escapes the jam. Way to go, Kenta
Whew
Bellinger with a leadoff single and then steals second!
why is beaty swinging 3-0
two out. We're gonna strand Belly
Then Corey Ks and Beaty pops up on a 3-0 pitch...
horrible pitch to swing. like trying to hit a satellite
Kershaw getting stretched out in the pen. Very interesting.
okay it's raining now.
damn. where did that monsoon come from.game stoppage for sure
And the rain is gone. What the hell?
that was some weird ass weather
and some dumbass swinging and missing
Pollock: 0-for-12 with TEN Ks this NLDS. What. The. Fuck.
Joc you had better pop one here
Dodgers hitters making Matt Scherzer look like Matt Scherzer
I don't disagree with Roberts that we have to get Pollock started here.
I think a session in a batting cage would be a good start.
dammit
C'mon Julio, limit the damage
Well fuck. See ya Wednesday
Dammit! Nobody is supposed to be able to hit that out.
We go down in order in the sixth.
need to get into their bullpen asap
That's not going to happen
Two on for Smith. Let’s get back into this!
RANCHO ARDIENDO!!
Ugh CT
Ugh Joc
Betcha we score 4 here and lose by 1
Dammit. New GT for Game 5?
New undies for sure.
Wait NOW you want to change undies?
