Games 157-159 Thread: Sept 24-26 vs. Padres

Tue 9.24: Knack vs. King
Wed 9.25: Flaherty vs. Cease
Thu 9.26: Buehler vs. Musgrove

The Dodgers have a three-game lead on the Padres for the NL West division lead, and we play three games at home vs. the Padres in this, the second-to-last series of the season. We throw our three of our four most probable starting pitchers for the postseason (given the options available at this point) against the Padres' three best starters.

What could possibly go wrong?

...or if you prefer the updated Luther version

"Hold on, to your lily-white butts!"

Steve Sax said...

I’m pretty damn worried.

Steve Sax said...

Great to see you here, Quad!

karen said...

Hey Quad!!! Glad you're here! I have been dreading this series since the schedule came out. Friar players and fans get so hyped up playing the Dodgers. It's like their World Series. Of course they've never won a World Series so maybe that's okay.

karen said...

GAME 1

Shohei Ohtani DH
Mookie Betts RF
Freddie Freeman 1B
T Hernandez LF
Max Muncy 3B
Will Smith C
Tommy Edman CF
Gavin Lux 2B
Miguel Rojas SS

Landon Knack RHP

QuadSevens said...

Our pitching still scares me so we’ll see how this series goes.

karen said...

It's go time!!

QuadSevens said...

Madres a little nervous for their WS debut. 1-0 on the throwing error.

spank said...

awesome baserunning

karen said...

Manny Machado MLB's answer to Aaron Hernandez.

spank said...

of course knack sucks

karen said...

Bases juiced for Mookie

spank said...

fuck

karen said...

Machado K's looking. I just hate that guy.

spank said...

knack.sucks

spank said...

BOOOOOOO

QuadSevens said...

Hi everyone! Forgot to say that earlier. Hopefully that will wake up the Dodger bats.

karen said...

Bazooka sits 'em down in 5 pitches. I'd love to see gangsta Machado get in his face now.

Steve Sax said...

Man, do you remember when the Dodgers could actually hit?

Will Smith, are you listening?

karen said...

Great play by Miggy!

spank said...

smh

Steve Sax said...

Geez we are very good at stranding runners

QuadSevens said...

Baby Bazooka looks good! Now let’s get some runs!

Steve Sax said...

Jason Heyward wins the game for Astros, allowing them to clinch.

And we still have Chris Taylor and kike Hernandez.

Steve Sax said...

Bottom 9, down by 3. Not looking good

spank said...

oh.shit. its on now

Steve Sax said...

Kiké with a broken bat rbi single. 4-2. Rojas up. No out

karen said...

FUCK

Steve Sax said...

Rojas hits into a game-ending triple play. Un fucking believable.

Steve Sax said...

Rojas GIDPs and GITPs. In the same game.

QuadSevens said...

That was the last way I thought the game would end. Insane.

spank said...

where's everyone? scared? come on y'all. sack up. where's the lineup?

karen said...

Hey Spank....I'm here just feeling hateful and bitchy.

spank said...

Teo singles in Shohei

1-0 LA

spank said...

@karen...cool. i was like that all day

spank said...

dammit. slappy almost.took that one out

karen said...

Okay Spanky...Lineup posted. It's your job to drink for both of us tonight. I really need it so go big!!

spank said...

ugh

karen said...

The hatred and bile and bubbling acid that is now my stomach are all focused on you you shit eating team from the bowels of SoCal.


spank said...

im up.for that task karen. consider it done

spank said...

2-1 shit eaters

karen said...

Geez. Our 'Ace' finally gets an out.

spank said...

Luxy sucks again

karen said...

MIGGY BABY!!!!

karen said...

I wish Joe would quit talking about all the things the shit eaters do that are good and all the things the Dodgers do are kind of fucky. I may have to go to the Ravine and kick his ass

spank said...

BOOOOOO

karen said...

Luxy ties this mother up!!

spank said...

im surprised Ebel sent Edman home on that single. he's usually conservative as fuck

tied At 2

spank said...

shohei!!

karen said...

The Unicorn leads us out of the dark and into the light. Halleluiah!!!

spank said...

goddam mookie. wake the fuck up. always disappearing on big games

spank said...

fuck

karen said...

Shit eaters tie it back up.

karen said...

Cease looks like a '70s porn star.

karen said...

Slappy nails Boggarts

spank said...

nice play by edman with the tag. at least slappy got the ball there quick.

Steve Sax said...

Smith throws Bogaerts out to end the top of the sixth, and then earns a leadoff walk. Let's go!

spank said...

2 on no outs for Luxy

spank said...

shohei!!

karen said...

Shohei-san puts us back up.

spank said...

dayum Treinen!!

Steve Sax said...

Kiké sucks, again

spank said...

stop.fucking arround Kopech

Steve Sax said...

spank said...

that's a wrap

karen said...

Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother fuckers!!! Stay classy San Diego - WE WIN!!!

Steve Sax said...

Let's GOOOOOO

Steve Sax said...

Geez this is nuts.

Steve Sax said...

Gavin Lux on the postgame sounds more mature than I've ever heard him. Good for him, good for the team, good for Dodger fans!

QuadSevens said...

Magic number down to 2!

Steve Sax said...

The Padres have a 2.9% chance of winning the division as of this morning. But they're going to the playoffs.

spank said...

im watching the last A's game in Oakland. i had a good experience the only time i visited the city. i went to a concert at Oracle arena and checked out the stadium while there.

spank said...

also i saw were supposedly Roberts was laughing at Dodgers fans for " panicking " and that the clubhouse is in chill mode not worrying and that he's content with having a good season. absolutely zero fire from that fucker if thats true

QuadSevens said...

AM570 had Ned Coletti on this afternoon. He thinks Ohtani would be used in the bullpen in high leverage situations if the Dodgers get past the divisional round.

Steve Sax said...

I sure hope we DON'T use Ohtani in the bullpen in the postseason.

Steve Sax said...

GAME THREE

Ohtani DH
Betts RF
Freeman 1B
T Hernandez LF
Muncy 3B
Smith C
Edman SS
Lux 2B
Pages CF

Buehler RHP

spank said...

i agree with saxy. no to ohtani pitching. wait till next year.

spank said...

Luxy double

spank said...

stranded

karen said...

YAY!!!!!!!

spank said...

oh shit slappy!!

spank said...

shohei baby!

spank said...

mook!!

karen said...

I love it that our Boys are playing with intensity.

spank said...

Freddie is walking. he'll be alright. sprain most likely

spank said...

Pages!!!

Steve Sax said...

I hope Freddie is okay. I'm not watching this game, but it sure reminds me of the late-season Muncy arm injury, from what I'm hearing on radio.

Steve Sax said...

WIN!

CLINCH!!!

spank said...

that's a wrap

spank said...

it looked bad saxy but he walked off the field. i think with rest he'll be alright.

karen said...

INTENSITY BABY!!!

Steve Sax said...

PGT UP!
