Buehler vs. Clevinger
Though MLB's four Division Series all feature divisional rivalries (all the Central teams were knocked out in the Wild Card round), the Los Angeles-San Diego one seems the spiciest. In yesterday's LAT, Dylan Hernandez characterized this rivalry as revered class vs. brash upstart.. All I see is a smokin' hot offensive team (Manny Machado, Feernando Tatis Jr., and Wil Myers, to start) vs. an offense that, besides Mookie Betts and Corey Seager, has been inconsistent or injured or flailing for most of this shortened season.
While one could see the Milwaukee Brewers lose life and energy with every inning, the Padres won't have any of that in this series. And we already know that the baseball gods continue to be cruel. So yeah, I'm worried about this one. Game 1 is critical.

Barves come back against the Fish to take a 1-0 series lead. Fuck the Astros leading the A's in Game 2
The Baseball Gods adding on more cruelty. Astros take a 2-0 series lead.
If we win this year, we go through the best
Also, go Lakers! Don't shit the bed again!
LAT reports that Edwin Rios was left off the NLDS roster because he suffered an injury in Sunday's workout. What the heck was that workout?!
Carry the entire team?
Yankees falling apart
Epale,y'all! Fuck the Padres!! Love to Eddie VH! RIP.
Damn Stanton just smoked a 3-run HR
Opening of "Women in Love" = genius
HERE WE GO
Two pitches, one out
@ Orel tru dat. women in lobe
Tatís singles
Buehler touches 98 vs Machado
Tatís SB but Buehler Ks Manny
Buehler escapes but throws 20 pitches in the 1st
nice
Let’s get the bats started early!
Clevinger’s worst inning is his first. We gotta get to him early or it’s bad
Clevinger is Urias?
We need the good Turner this series now.
Corey walks!
Just gonna watch these fastballs right down the middle
That was not the good Turner.
And swing at the slider away
I've never seen Clevinger pitch. Now this guy is someone that Vin would say makes coffee nervous.
Corey takes second on a WP. Let's cash him in
Muncy walks!
Goddamit
At least Clevinger threw 22 pitches
damn
Buehler having control issues. Walks Pham to lead off the 2nd. Certainly that will not come back and bite us in the ass
Buehler not feeling it yet
Walker doesn't have it today. Hope he keeps it close before we have to bring in Urias
are we wasting reviews already
?
Yep!
Padres are being very selective at the plate
Buehler walks the bases loaded
Urias better be warming up
Buehler is a mess
Big strikeout! Two down!
glad i decided not to quit drinking today.
Ks Profar!
Always a wise decision, spank
Buehler is a mess right now
Rays take a 6-4 lead in the 5th
Treinen warming?
99, 99, 99! Strikeout!
HUGE K
We need to score some runs to help out Buehler.
Buehler has 152 pitches through 2 frames
Clevinger just missed bad with those two pitches. Mound visit
Clevinger OUT!
Mid at bat pitching change. Going to be interesting.
Lakers take a 5-point lead in the 3rd
Cody draws the leadoff walk
Joc Ks badly. sigh
CT3 flies out, 0-0 through 2.
great inning for Buehler! 1-2-3
Rays lead 7-4 in the 7th
Dodgers are being NO-HIT through three.
0-0
Buehler got a little too cocky throwing those 97 mph fastballs down the pipe
1-0 SD and they're looking for more. Their bullpen looks loose and happy. Buehler is already at 93 pitches and looks shaky again.
1-0 SD through 3.5 on the Austin Nola RBI single.
Lakers up 9 with 39.5 seconds left!
Two on, two out for CT3
Wow AD coming up big in the closing moments
RANCHO ARDIENDO
Mookie did not deliver
Dodgers get two walks and a HBP but can't score in the fourth.
We still are BEING NO-HIT through 4
Lakers win
I'm moving from my Elysian beer to something else. Need to shake this up
good lord Lakers. i need a shot and a smoke and i'll come back to this one. Lasorda! Kobe! Eddie!
space dust up in dis bish,Saxy
Buehler gone. May in
Yanks have two on, no out down three in the 9th
May pitches a 1-2-3 inning!
Yankees strike out twice after getting two walks
7-5 Rays, two out in the 9th
Oh and Aaron Judge is up
Rays win
Full count on Corey
Pops out
I want to see Turner smash a bomb right here. Need some energy.
It’s a start maybe?
It's a start, Quad
Full count on Muncy now
That pitcher did not look like fun to face for any lefty.
Goddammit
WP advances JT to 2nd
Fresh Prince has such good plate discipline. Two on, two out for Cody
A gift run!
What a shitshow this game is
We'll take it.
Dodgers still being NO-HIT

i'm on to a Hanalei Island IPA. meh
@spank 9.15p, we're going to need more than one more run
We're going to need a whole Globeful of runs
i got greedy
At least May is dealing
May is pissed he didn't get the start!
that was a damn nice strikeout
A one out walk for CT3. Let’s get it going again!
Mookie with our first hit!
Padres manager has been tossed for arguing with the home plate ump! I love it!
He was letting the F-bombs fly!
Tingler was hot under the collar
We have a lead! Sac fly for Seager!
C'mon Corey
Yeah you're not going to throw CT3 out from deep left
Yeah you're not going to throw Mookie out from shallow right
Turner with an RBI followed by a Muncy double! 3-1 Dodgers now.
i'm on delay. pay no mind. im out
They IBB Smith to load the bases and get to Cody MAKE THEM PAY
Man Cody cannot catch up to those pitches
Keep watching Spanky. You’re gonna like what happens!
And...RANCHO ARDIENDO
Wow, both for Muncy and for Belli this inning could be huge. If we can open those two bats up for this postseason...
WP makes it 5-1!
i went on a drunk tangent and missed evertything. i';m a team player so fuck yeah!
@Spanky Drunk tangent sounds perfect for this crew.
Even Mookie can't crack this park
5-1 LA through 7.
Grisham, Tatis, and Machado due up in the 8th
Longboard down. I'm on hite extra cold now. Which is basically water.
Miller Hite?
Grisham leadoff double, a rocket shot down the right field line.
Grisham leads off the 8th with a double off VGo
V-Gon, gone.
Treinen in.
Tatis looking plugged in there in the on-deck circle. I'm nervous.
DAMMIT
Here's the game: Tatís & Machado up with a man in scoring position
Treinen Ks Tatis away. 1 out
Treinen Ks Tatís. Huge
@Orel 10.07, what's your "DAMMIT" for? The leadoff double?
(i hope)
i'm alternating space dust ,sierra nevada,shots of whiskey. LA.
im in the 8th. Dodgers win already. Dammit
Treinen gets Manny to ground out. Another huge out
Machado rockets one to Seager, who holds Grisham on second and then throws out Manny at first. Hosmer up.
@Sax, 10:12: It's for being beaten to the punch by you
Treinen putting in work!
Treinen Ks Hosmer. On to B8, 5-1 LA.
For all the shit that Doc gets managing the bullpen, he managed that inning perfectly
@Orel oh i get it
one thing that is definitely crazy nowadays is how all of us are watching this using different feeds. I have Gameday on my phone plus AT&TNow on my computer (streaming). I feel like I'm 15 seconds behind
I'm on the Spectrum app, which is at least 30 seconds behind the main feed
Fucking shift
Seager ropes it but right into the shifted Machado in short right.
@Orel, I thought you had a cable landline as well?
Fox broadcasters advocating to ban the shift.
I don't know if I'm there.
How about some Geico boys
Let's go, Max
@Sax: I do but I'm watching on my TV that has a Roku attached
Max almost gets all of it, but flies out to the warning track.
5-1 LA through 8, and here's KJ.
Kenley coming in. Time to clench.
JESUS HOW WAS THAT NOT A HOMER
Alanna Rizzo @alannarizzo 57s
Treinen back out for the 9th inning.
No Kenley after all. Not yet at least.
Oh wow, they are letting it roll with Treinen.
Fly out on the first pitch.
One out and now Kenley’s coming in.
Treinen gets Pham. In comes Kenley
Treinen out, now KJ comes on with one out in the ninth.
DAMMIT
anddddddddd, here's that Casper the Friendly Ghost (TM) Geico commercial again.
oh, i owe a DAMMIT as well
I’m watching on Spectrum, not an app. Slight advantage for me.
Kenley doesn't generally like coming in in the middle of an inning
Kenley's first pitch: 88 mph but good placement
91 mph, swing and a miss
Kenley up 0-2, now 1-2
Myers K on four pitches. Last one was high heat.
90 mph strikeout!
Do the Padres get to replace Clevinger on the post-season roster?
I think if they do then they can't bring him back for the next round
Oh, i get it. from ESPN:
Should San Diego replace Clevinger on its division series roster, he would be ineligible to pitch in the NL Championship Series, as well.
DAMMIT
WIN
5-1 win! May gets the win.
WIN
DAMMIT and not even close!
this is not a good postgame show (a-rod, ortiz, and big hurt)
Ken Rosenthal does not look as diminutive when he is interviewing JT from social distance
orale
JT: .391 in division series (minimum 75 PA). Best in division series history
But they have Dontrelle!

SHOW THE DAMN HIGHLIGHTS FOX
DAMMIT
corey seager has a lot of hair
HA! awesome DAMMIT
Highlights on SNLA
that's a great Bulleit commercial
over to spectrum
Fuck the Astros win
Lakers win
Yankees lose
Dodgers win
3 out of 4 ain't bad!
Buehler speaking so highly of the bullpen. That's maturity. Well done, Walker.
Buehler is gonna be aggressive next time.
The Braves should be worried.
Look, if Clevinger is truly as hurt as we think he is, the padres don't lose much by trying him tonight and then having to exclude him from this and the next series roster.
Ok I'm out.
