Baseball is all about tradition, and now it's time for the traditional end-of-season six-game series. The Dodgers' magic number for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, including the World Series, is down to 1 (with six games to play), so my guess is that the rotation doesn't exactly play out as planned. I'm looking forward to seeing how Tony Gonsolin does on Monday in his return from the IL.
This series will also be the last audition for Chris Taylor, Trayce Thompson, Cody Bellinger, and Joey Gallo; it's likely that only two of those four will make the postseason roster (only Mookie Betts is a solid outfield lock), with the other two being cut (hopefully not like the movie poster up there). But knowing the Dodgers, there will be more injuries between the end of September to the final postseason game--so we've gotta take a close look at everyone this series. Buckle up, Dodger fans!

Sorry, SoSG fans. I was at the game Sat night but the weekend was nuts.
I'm going Tuesday if anyone wants to say hi.
In the middle of Game 4.
Tied at 1.
Would be nice if we could score against the Rockies.
Rox go up 2-1 in the ninth.
Leadoff single from Trea, then Freddie clubs one to right that Steiner calls as a HR. Of course, it’s a fly out.
One out.
Slappy flies out on the second pitch of the AB.
And then Muncy puts up a fight but gets the third out.
We lose.
Our bats are getting cool, against a crappy team, at the wrong time of the season.
Not good.

McNeil of the NYM leads the batting title race and is sitting. Freddie needs to go 4 for 4 to take the lead. He's 2 for 2 with a double and a HR. Let's go!
Kershaw looked pretty good in his final tune up of the regular season.
5IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 1 R, 9K
TREA!!
3 run bomb to give Trea 100 RBIs on the season! 4-1 Dodgers!
Chris Martin with a clean inning. No "Trouble" at all. Bottom of the 7th coming up.
I need to get my Coldplay puns ready for the playoffs. Homework for me for the next few days.
BELLI-BOMB!!
Freeman with his third hit of the day and RBI number 100 for the year!
Kimbrel strikes out the side in the 8th.
Bloop single for Hanser! Love it!
6-1 in the ninth and Ferguson is in the finish it off.
WIN! 111!
Get your lucky shirts and beers ready for Tuesday folks! It's playoffs time!
Hey, we won a game against the Rockies!
