2021 NLDS Game 2: Oct 9 @ Giants

Urias vs. Gausman, 6p.

For most of this regular season, the Dodgers were behind the Giants in the standings. We didn't end up catching them in the end.

And after one horrible game of this NLDS, we find ourselves in the same position: just a bit behind, needing to catch back up. That's what happens when the offense evaporates, particularly when Giants starter Logan Webb gets given a very lenient strike zone (though he did pitch an efficient game, admittedly). And to be fair, we've only had two run-scoring strikes in both postseason games.

But the loss of Max Muncy looks even more dire against the Giants. If not Max, who else on the Dodgers is going to step up and deposit a pitch in the ocean?

Dusty Baker said...

I’m not really nervous. Which makes me nervous. Am I so nervous that I wrapped around to not nervous? Am I masking?

Why am I sober?*

*It won’t last long

karen said...

Hola Dusty!!

Dusty Baker said...

Hola Karen! LFGooooo!

karen said...

I'll be nervous if we get to the sixth or seventh inning behind with no offense. You know, like last night.

Dusty Baker said...

Last night? What happened last night? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Where am I? What is “playoffs”?

Dusty Baker said...

Stop showing that ugly toad bastard Logan Webb!

Dusty Baker said...

Lead-off walk for the Mookster!

karen said...

Mookie walks to start.

Dusty Baker said...

And promptly steals second

Dusty Baker said...

TTurner continues post-season not great ABs. Hmmmmm.

Dusty Baker said...

Don’t like both Turners swinging long early in counts. Work that count, boys, like you did all season.

karen said...

Kris Bryant working this AB

karen said...

That scared me. I thought it was going out.

karen said...

Watching Cody bat is so difficult. I wish his mom would come in to town and fix him some good home cooking. And maybe sing 'Soft Kitty' to him.

karen said...

RBI single for Julio!! 1-0 Blue.

MR.F said...

Runs scored?!?!?!?

Steve Sax said...

Huge inning there. They walk AJ to get to Urias, who strokes and RBI single to right. And then Mookie knocks in AJ.

Seager needs to start hitting here but I will take a 2-0 lead

karen said...

Hey Mr F! Yeah, can you believe it? We put up a crooked number!

karen said...

BAD call to Flores.








karen said...

@Sax...Sorry, I'm getting spacey again!!

karen said...

Julio needs to shut this inning down now

Dusty Baker said...

I’m starting to get nervous and I’m slacking on drinking. Calling on the spirit of Spanky now!

Dusty Baker said...

BTW hello MR F! It’s been too long! Hope you are well.

QuadSevens said...

Rancho ardiendo for Bellinger!

QuadSevens said...

2 RBI double for Cody! Sweet!

Steve Sax said...

Bellinger! And then Pollock!

Holy cow

QuadSevens said...

Pollock brings in two more! 6-1 now!

karen said...

Great throw by Mookie. He shoots down Flores at third to end the inning.

MR.F said...

Hello Dusty Baker! I'm alright. I'm trying to get back into SoSG

QuadSevens said...

FRESH PRINCE!

QuadSevens said...

Beaty with a PH RBI makes it 8-2!

QuadSevens said...

Well it wasn’t into the bay, but Seager gets an RBI single to center. 9-2!

Steve Sax said...

How awesome is it to see Seager, Pollock, and Smith all finally get hits

9-2 LA through 8.

LET’S GOOOOOOO

Steve Sax said...

I’ve been pleasantly surprised and impressed with the Dodgers tonight. Especially after last night’s debacle.

MR.F said...

Oyster Pubes is still annoyingly good at baseball

karen said...

WIN!!!

QuadSevens said...

That’s the offense we’ve been waiting for!

MR.F said...

yayyyyyyyyyy

Steve Sax said...

Very late PGT up!
