2020 NLCS Game 5 Thread: Oct 16 vs? @? Braves, 6p

May vs. TBD.

Well, Clayton's return to Texas hasn't gone so swimmingly. But last night's loss wasn't his fault, not when Kiké Hernandez is airmailing throws into the crowd, or Brusdar Graterol picks a fine time to stop sniffing glue, or the Dodgers offense decides that 15 runs the day before gives them the right to an off-day. So now we go with Dustin May, likely against Max Fried, the first of three must-win games for the Dodgers. God help us.

Definitely not Kershaw's fault. I did not watch any of the postgame shows. If any of the media asked him a question relating to playoff troubles, I hope he shot them a death stare.

After a night of relatively little sleep I have sadly realized that I have become used to losing in the Postseason. Last night in the wee hours my sleep deprived mind started going to places like 'this is a curse' that maybe goes back to the Fox Group trading Mike Piazza or even further back in 1993 when the Dodgers traded PEDRO MARTINEZ for weak Delino DeShields (no offense to our own Delino). I'm afraid that we are going the path of the Cubs and BoSox. How else to explain these epic failures???

4 strikeouts over two innings. Looks like we’re facing another Cy Young caliber pitcher tonight.

We look terrible at the plate. Turner with our only hit. 7 Ks through three.

SEAGER BOMB! 2-1!

Is it just me or does the new ATL pitcher look like one of those militia fellas who got arrested over the plan to kidnap the Gov. of Michigan?

WILL SMITH TAKES WILL SMITH DEEP! 3 RUN BOMB!!

No matter what else happens tonight we won the Will Smith showdown.

SEAGER GOES DEEP AGAIN!! 7-2!!

Victor doing a high wire act. Clearly this stage is to big for him, or he’s tired, or something. I dunno. Just glad he found a way out.

Kenley in for the ninth.

WIN!

Kenley strikes out the side with good velocity. I guess he got mad for this one!
