Buehler vs. Suter, 7p
I realize that MLB did its best to put forward a season after COVID-19 made most of life (not just baseball) a logistic nightmare. But of all the changes to this year's season: the universal DH, seven-inning double-headers, the three-batter minimum for relief pitchers, runners starting on second in extra innings--the one change that I hated the most was a first-round best-of-three series. In baseball, where anything can happen, a best-of-three series is incredibly capriciou, and the best team can easily come out on the wrong end. And without fans in the crowd, there is no homefield advantage enjoyed by the Dodgers, after their hard work resulted in the best record in baseball.
Only one of the four AL home teams won their first game yesterday. My stomach is going to be knotted. Let's hope the Dodgers can be a lot looser and play like the powerhouse team that they are.

Also, 28 man roster? That's new right? Keibert Ruiz and Terrance Gore getting the call, while Lux is left off.
Watching the Reds/Braves game here, and I am so happy that ARod is not calling the Dodgers game.
Yup, used to be a 25-man playoff roster.
I enjoy A-Rod talking about purely baseball stuff. Unfortunately he rarely does that
To the 12th we go in the CIN-ATL game!
First and third for the Reds with one out.
Janikowski? Wasn't he on SD?
I think so. I thought the same thing.
2 out
Same with Galvis I think
Wow Barves escape
Not sure why they went away from the bunt there.
To the 13th!
Back to back singles give the Reds first and third again.
Will the Reds regret holding Votto at third base?
Twins are not helping us out at all. Down 3-1 now in that game.
Looks like 18 straight postseason losses for the Twins...yikes
That's an insane record.
Wow the Braves escape AGAIN
The Reds leave them loaded for the second straight inning.
Twins get swept. That sucks.
Reds have pulled an outfielder into the infield. First and third for the Braves. Interesting.
Twins going for that Clippers vibe
Freddie is so good. Barves win
Freeman walks it off for the Braves.
The Cheaters come to Dodger Stadium for their division series. Great.
Ryu gets bombed by the Rays. 7 runs allowed in 1.2 innings
4-1 Cards lead Pads in the first inning!
Harrison Bader what was that
Betts, RF
Seager, SS
Turner, 3B
Muncy, 1B
Smith, C
Bellinger, CF
Pollock, LF
Rios, DH
Taylor, 2B
Buehler, P
6-3 Cards over Pads in 6th.
Pins and needles ova here...let's get this dang this started already!
The Twins are my second favorite team, but man are they inept in the playoffs these days. They need a seance to contact the spirit of Kirby Puckett.
Going to bottom of 9 Cards up 7-4.
I'm with Sax. I just hate this 3 game series.
Pobres down to their last strike
Cards win.
The Lake Show getting ready to start. LeBron has a 24 on his finger.
GO LAKERS
God, ARod sucks as an analyst
Lakers down 8. And ARod sucks
Down 13
I'm digging AD's hair. Not digging how this game is starting.
The Lakers have reasserted themselves
The Yankees have overcome a 4-run deficit
where the hell is this game? all i see is yankees indians
ESPN2? what the hell
Karl Ravech setting up the Dodgers for the fall: "the dodgers are SOOOOO superior statistically"...
oh no.
HERE WE GO
4-pitch K on Yelich. That works
three-pitch K for Buehler on Yelich (leadoff batter)!
whoops, four-pitch K. you're right, orel
Actually three pitches?
Twitter says 3
Yelli and Braun looking bad against the curve. I love it!
2 up 2 K's.
Braun K. ESPN obsessed with Buehler's blister.
Hard hit, but fly out to Pollock in left.
We go to B1
Holy smokes the Lakers are up 17 at the half
Dodgers 2020 season: 5.8 runs per game (1st in MLB)
My AT&T now won't let me stream two channels at once on the same device. Booooooo
MVP MVP MVP
Braun can't catch Mookie's hit! Mookie DOUBLE
No soup for you Braun! Double for Betts!
Vinny would say that Suter pitches like his hair is on fire.
C'mon Max. You are so due.
Muncy is gonna crank this
Would Vinny say Suter makes coffee nervous (is that how it went?)?
RANCHO ARDIENDO
muncy with a disciplined AB. Walks the bases loaded.
Time to get jiggy with it!
@karen and @Orel, I'm so frickin' nervous, I'm surprised vinny isn't talking about ME
C'mon Fresh Prince
Orel...I forgot that one!! And yes he would say that.
2-0 count to Will Smith
WOO HOO FREE RUNS
Run walked in...we'll take it!!!
BOOM! WALKS IN A RUN 1-0 LA
Let’s go Bellinger!
DAMMIT!
C'mon Cody
That was weak
Cody come on man. Take a pitch first and then swing
WOO HOO MORE FREE RUNS
Put another quarter in the merry go round!
Or, don't swing. Suter walks in another run.
wow Rios almost got that one!
Suter got off cheap.
Way to swing the bats guys
Now Buehler is all rusty after the long bottom of the 1st. Brilliant strategy by the Brewers
Hey ESPN, don’t mess with Turner while he’s on defense!
Lakers up 18
Oh god JT is mic'd up
why the hell is ESPN talking to Turner during the game? This is as fucked up as the extra innings runner on second.
"Hey Justin, what would you say about that positive herpes test result?"
BallPEOPLE, JT: not just boys
Okay that's a pretty funny comment about AJ playing "down a clown"
Okay that's enough from this miked experience. Enough.
why is JT giving away trade secrets here
Good call Justin, he's saying "I lost you". Great call Justin
Tell Ravech to get a better cell plan, Justin!
Lake Show up 22...
And, that interview is finally over.
Hope that the Brewers mic'd up Suter this inning.
Please tell me that's only a one-inning thing
THIS IS A FREAKING PLAYOFF GAME ESPN!!! LEAVE JT ALONE.
WHY IS JT STILL MIC'D. A DISGRACE
Also: MOOKIE!
It appears the Dodgers have abandoned the neck muffler accessory
Lakers up 28!
Suter finally being pulled. Dodgers up 3-0 with 2 on, 2 out
Cody barely snared at first
Lakers by 20, 8:20 in the fourth.
ESPN cuts to a highlight from the studio, but the highlight video doesn't play. Between the failing JT mic and this, ESPN's tech team needs an upgrade.
3-0 after three. This game should not be nearly this close and it could come back to bite us in the ass later on
3-0 LA through 3.
This should be a lot worse. I'm very worried.
For $5 you can upgrade to the sparkles on cupcake conquest? awesome.
Buehler allows a one-out double in the 4th
Oh this is interesting: limited number of fan seats avail for the games in texas:
https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30011224/mlb-allowing-limited-number-fans-nlcs-world-series-arlington-texas
Which defeats the purpose of a bubble!
Nice catch by Mookie on a hard-hit ball
See? SEE?
CRAP
shit. 3-2 on the Arcia HR.
Somewhere in heaven my mom is saying "the Dodgers were farting around and now it's a 1 run game". I hear ya mom.
Buehler losing it
Buehler stomps off the field. The Gatorade cooler trembles in anticipation
3-2 LA, mid-4
Ugh I'm nervous again.
Amen Karen
Lakers 116, Heat 98 final
'Gatorade cooler trembles in anticipation'...too funny.
LAKERS WIN
Damn you Orel! That's twice.
(blows smoke from gun)
I've got my windows open and my neighbor is in his backyard smoking pot. I think I'll start inhaling real deep and get myself through this game.
Urias in. Great
Good idea Karen!
Uh-oh. Urias makes me nervous.
Urias replaces Buehler to start the 5th.
Yelich singles. this is not good.
Braun subbed out?!
Braun out. Interesting.
Yelich, who can't hit a lick, gets a single
Braun out of the game.
ESPN: “Let’s hope he’s ok.”
Us: “Nah.”
We look so soft right now
Yeah, Braun can go fuck himself
Cleveland ties it up!
Urias wiht a scoreless inning. 3-2 LA mid-5
I thought this bullpen was supposed to suck.
Braun out with 'back discomfort'. Ahhh Ryan, sucks to be you.
sept.30 not oct.1
where Kershaw at?
Hey Spank! Don't you start being bitchy about Clayton.
Wtf Max. Pathetic
nice defense muncy. dumbass
what the hell, Max? E3 allows runner to second on a bloop single
Big strikeout for Urias.
it's post season and i'm ragging on everyone til Lakers and Dodgers brings a trophy home.
Urias wriggles off the hook!
Dodgers out of it without Brews cashing in error.
Half that expectation is looking mighty good Spank
What is that? Like 5 times tonight Orel?
A HIT
Bellinger with a clean leadoff single to right. Let's go, guys!
Goddammit AJ
Well that sucked!
shit
5x Urias wriggling off the hook? Seems like it although he's only pitched like two innings
meh
aj pollock gidps. come on, guys.
Yankees bring in Chapman with two on, no out in the 8th
Indians ahead!!!
why do all the Dodgers look like Donald jr
nice AB from Rios to earn a walk. We'll strand him, but still.
two out, CT3 up
CT flies out.
Brewers look like they are gaining confidence. 3-2 LA through 6.
I'm getting another beer
At least Mookie leads off next inning
Cleveland about to cough it all up
I need to find a way to work “Down a clown” into everyday conversation now.
Yelich doubles off Urias with two out
Tummy getting queasy.
6x Karen!
Out of it again.
Yankees have RA with no out, down 1 in the 9th
we still have the lead
Whaaaaaat
i see Kershaw did not pitch today. god bless him in game 2. god bless us all actually. we'll need it.
Yes we will
SEAGER!!
COREY BABY

Treinen with a nice 8th.
Treinen Ks Arcia, who was at the plate as the tying run.
that was a nice pitch
Cody is late on pitches he crushed last year
Kenley warming
AJ double
Too bad AJ didn't have that double back in his last AB (GIDP)
Chapman gets the K for out #3 but it gets past the catcher and CLE has a runner on first
