Welp. WELP. Things were going swimmingly until they weren't. The Barves punched the Dodgers in the mouth yesterday in Game 1 and now we get the news that Clayton Kershaw has back spasms and won't start Game 2. Tony Gonsolin will take his place.
One thing that impressed me about the Lakers' title run this year was that they never lost two in a row in the playoffs. When they lost, they made adjustments in the next game. Let's face it: Until last night the Dodgers hadn't been challenged in the playoffs beyond Game 2 of the Padres series. Can we make adjustments after being punched in the mouth?
Time to find out what we're made of!
The Dodgers certainly can overcome scratching Clayton Kershaw from his Game 2 start with back issues, but the scramble it causes is very real. They were depending on him and Walker Buehler for innings. That they’re getting only five combined from them in G1 and 2 is problematic.

Welp. No more predictions from me about this series. We just need to get some hits!
Looking at you Mookie OMG I SAID SOMETHING SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE ABOUT MOOKIE WHAT IS HAPPENING
Urías to start Game 3
Guessing May or Kershaw for game 4 depending on how 2 and 3 go.
BTW...I hate the FS1 pregame show.
@Q7...Dodger pregame is on SNLA if you have it.
Thanks Karen. The guided didn't show it, and I was being lazy about having to change the channel.

Inside of the plate belongs to the pitcher unless you are not a Dodger.
Gonsolin and CT3 with a very nice first inning!
CT3 with a great play.
What a diving stop by CT3 to end the 1st!
DAMMIT

10 pitches for Catman in the 1st
Orel...he he
MAKE EM PAY MOOKIE
Great AB by Mookie! From 0-2 to drawing the walk
And he advances to second on a WP
Good eye Corey
Dammit, Corey Ks
Whoa Nelly!!! 2 on for Boys
Max walks. Two on two out
I hate the Barves third baseman.
Smith could not have hit that harder
Third K for Gonsolin!
He's feeling frisky!
TERRIBLE swing by Cody to strike out
OK so we're doing a pitching duel
Catman thru 3 on 28 pitches!
CT3 crushes it but SURPRISE it's caught at the track
Mookie walks again
Corey not looking so good.
If he and Cody go in deep freeze again...
We have a hit!
JT singles! Mookie races to third!
RA for the Fresh Prince.
RANCHO ARDIENDO
DAMMIT
Let's go Smith! Crush another one! Just not right at someone.
Exactly Quad!
welp
That sucked. We are racking up the LOB.
And that sucked even more.
Why can’t the Dodgers do that? Braves make it look really easy.
Well fuck.
@Orel It's a good thing I'm not watching this game at work because I yelled that. Working from home saved me there.
Joc with a walk. Start of a 2 out rally?
Nope.
Is that Braves pitcher really that good? Did the Dodgers blow their wad too early against the Padres in that game 2?
Is there a mercy rule here?
Is the Rays game on yet?
Hopefully this long inning makes the Barves pitchers cold and we can get some hits.
Nope.
The good news is there aren’t travel days so we can hurry up and get on with our lives by Thursday.
@Spank it all went to shit in the worse possible way.
We have scored 4 in the ninth. 8-7 now with a runner on third.
And we lose by one.
At least the bats finally woke up! See y’all tomorrow.
Bats are alive. Here we go.
