Buehler vs. Morton, 2p.
Jorge Castillo of the LAT said what ran through my mind at the end of that disapponting Game 2: 2-for-18 with RISP is not going to get it done. Even when Chris Taylor hit a bloop double to put the Dodgers up 4-2, I was lamenting we couldn't tack on any more--basically, what I was saying all game when the Dodgers kept leaving ducks on the pond. And we needed it, after reliever (?) Julio Urias gave up two runs, and the Braves won another one-run game in the bottom of the ninth.
There wasn't much time to rest on Monday, especially given the early start today: but hopefully, the Dodgers can rebound like they did in the 2020 NLCS, also down 2-0 to the Braves:
Now, a lot of those 2020 ingredients aren't on this year's squad: Joc Pederson (on the bad guys), Edwin Rios (out for the season), Max Muncy (out for the series). Those bats accounted for eight of our 11 first-inning HRs. So we will need Trea Turner, Gavin Lux, and Chris Taylor to step up here. It's our only hope.
Sax will be at Game 3.
GO DODGERS!!!

Calling my shot now. Cody Bellinger jersey t-shirt is on today and he is going deep!
Lux with a great catch on a line drive to center and the heads up throw to double off Rosario!
Buehler has a chance to escape after giving up two singles to start the game.
This ump behind the plate has the most boring strike call I've ever seen.
Buehler strikes out Riley! No damage!
Huge double play there. Wow.
Stadium isn’t full but it is still rocking
🐄🔑🦇🦇🦇
Mookie with a leadoff walk. Let's see how this goes.
SEAGER BOMB!!!
COREY!!!
Making Morton work. 3 walks in the first and up over 25 pitches. Bellinger up now.
Left the bases loaded. Need the offense to stay alive the rest of the game now.
Joc Pearleson draws a walk after 10 pitches.
"Shadows!" Everyone drink!
GIDP erases the lead off walk. Going to the bottom of the second.
@Sax Nice emojis for Moo-Key-Bats. Took me a minute to decode that.
Broadcast just mentioned that the Turners are 0 for 17 with RISP this postseason. Yikes!
Now 0 for 18. Going to the third.
Charlie Morton is at 51 pitches through 2.
2-0 through 3 but once again, we are leaving people on base all over the place. Not good. This does not bode well.
Joc is trying to bury us.
Duval ties the game in the fourth.
Screwed by the ump in that Joc at bat. He missed strike three.
Error by Seager allows another run. Now we're down 3-2.
Morton, even with that crappy start, outlasts Buehler.
We are done.
Lux drops a fly ball. Seager can’t get to one. Buehler gets squeezed.
All the baseball gods are against us
Game 2 starts with a two-run Seager bomb. We lose.
Game 3 starts with a two-run Seager bomb. 😬
Our offense needs to come alive in more than just the first inning.
Flyout to Lux, and his inexperience shows by not being ready to throw to third.
Knebel and Bickford allow a run in the 5th. 5-2 with just one out.
You can’t win with two hits, guys. Let’s do this
This is going to be an epic comeback.
5-2 Atlanta, mid-5
We gotta chase Morton here
Smith with a single to right. Double barrel action in the ATL bullpen.
JT GIDP. Bleh!
Morton done. 6 walks and we only cashed in one of those.
JT has been horrible.
Trea Turner has been horrible.
Doc is going to get crap for his pitching changes, but it is the offense which is letting us down.
I am not a happy dude right now
I'm with you Sax. The offense is the real problem in these games.
Freeman now has 3 hits to the opposite field. Is anyone in the Dodgers dugout seeing this? Maybe stop pitching him away?
Things have not been going so hot this NLCS.
We are in the 6th inning and bringing in our 6th pitcher. With Julio starting tomorrow on 2 days rest, and a scheduled bullpen game in game 5, this is really bad.
Going to the 7th, still down 5-2.
Phillips is the 7th pitcher in for us now.
Geez louise so many pitchers
Phillips goes to 1.2 innings. Gonsolin coming in to get the last out of the eighth. 8th pitcher.
Bazooka, Treinen, and Kenley are the last guys left in the pen.
Smith and Pollock with singles. Bellinger up now with two on and one out!
BELLINGER THREE RUN BOMB!! TIE GAME!!
Belli got on top of that high fastball! Good sign!
Betts with a double to give us the lead! Finally we get more than one hit in an inning! 6-5 Dodgers!
Trea Turner with an infield single. Bases loaded for Smith!
Going to the ninth with the lead. Kenley coming in.
Riley down looking! One down!
Joc down swinging! Two down!
Duvall down swinging! WIN!!
Wow.
I am still in the suite, watching the stagnant brake lights outside.
Still so excited for this win
What the phoooo! I went out to walk the dogs and checked the score in the 9th and was like whaaaaaa.
