Buehler vs. Fried
The Lakers have won their title. Which means now the entire focus of Los Angeles is squarely on the Dodgers, back in the NLCS for the fourth time in five years.. And though we are 5-0 in the postseason so far, it's not without uncertainty, namely the snowballed disappointment of Kenley Jansen, currently unfit to be our closer; not to mention how the Dodgers (or any team, for that matter) can muscle its way through a postseason series with no off-days.
The Dodgers are the "home team" to start, which is weird at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, but at least we've gotten three games under our belt in this cavernous stadium where home runs come to die. The Braves feasted on Fish in homer-happy Minute Maid Park. And their pitching has been spot-on as well: shutouts in four of their five postseason games.
So you guessed it: I'm nervous again. Let's go, Dodgers!

The Braves have scored half of their runs (12 out of 24) with the HR this postseason. I'm hoping that GLF takes the sting out of their bats and we can win this tight series.
GLF is the Dodgers' new home park
If you count the regular season, they've played 6 games there now.
And you know every team thinks they can knock it out of the park. Hope Buehler takes advantage of that

Rays jump out to a 3-0 lead!
Just saw the replay of that catch in right field. Amazing play! Guy went tumbling over the railing.
Former Padre Manuel Margot!
Fairbanks for the Rays throwing smoke to send Altuve packing. 3-1 Rays in the seventh.
Joe Morgan passes at age 77. RIP Mr. Morgan.
Rays win. Up two games on Cheaters.
HERE WE GO........
why are they playing the tomahawk chop? it should be our home game!
Acuna, one pitch, one out
and, we are already losing.
Some of these Braves are going to keep me up at night. I much preferred the Fish.
Did they move the fences in? Freeman launched that one!
So much for my hope.
(clears throat)
GODDAMMIT!!!
28 pitches to start for Fried.
This is gonna be a helluva ride
Bueller will go 4 innings...maybe.
Spank will go four minutes....maybe.
43 pitches. I like it.
4 minutes? i wouldn't take those odds,Dust. it'd be much less.
(cries)
Walker is all over the map tonight with his control.
It’s never easy for us.
FIVE WALKS???
sack up Buehls
What happened to our early-innings strategy of building up Fried's pitch count?
Fried > Buehler
Fried at 69 pitches thru four
"If homeruns are wrong I don't wanna be right"?? oh Freddie, you poor stupid bastard.

Buehler is toast
Announcers talk about the shift and how the numbers back it up, right before the hitter beats the shift. Great.

Can we knock this fucker out of the game please
Bad call ump
Fried needs to be simmered down
Good job May
Great AB by Kiké

“Shit!” -Mrs Quad.
Well fuck.
They're in Treinen's head.
We are getting beat in every aspect of this game
Mrs. Quad with the pottymouth!
I was thinking Mrs. Quad summed it up perfectly.
I'm out
Mrs Quad and I are laughing at the range of reactions to her comment. Love it.
My first comment did not age well. 4 of 5 runs scored by home runs.
WE ARE STILL THE BEST TEAM HERE. Let's not freak out yet...6 games to go.
Dammit that was wrenching.
