Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Sean Manaea vs. TBD, 5p.
Manaea absolutely shut us down in Game 2 (5.0 IP, 2 ER, 7 Ks), allowing the Mets time to squish our bullpen (mostly Landon Knack) and win the game.
I anticipate more of the same misery in today's Game 6. So sing along, people!
3/28 vs. DET (W, 8-5 (10)): Sax
4/2 vs. ATL (W, 6-5): AC

I acknowledge that I have lost my mind with this NLCS Game 6 post.
GAME 6
Ohtani DH
Betts RF
Hernandez, T. LF
Edman SS
Muncy 1B
Hernandez, K. 3B
Pages CF
Smith C
Taylor 2B
Kopech P
No Freddie. No Lux.
😬😬😬😬😬
Need to get Manaea out ASAP. Then bring in Lux for CT3. Maybe have Freddie as a pinch hitter.
gonna need Teo to show up. someone on the bottom of lineup needs to be clutch
I agree with spanky......Teo has been clutch for us all season.....We need that guy back.
Kopech does not look sharp
Taylor already making me nervous on D
already fucking up
Vientiane for the second out. That could be big
^Vientos
Not out of the woods yet though, Alonso is good
Dammit, of course Taylor fucking sucks
come on. get it together
Taylor is so fuckjng bad. And Freddie would have made that catch at first.
muncy too. didnt move off the bag. cost an extra base
Dammit
let's get a run here
im looking at you Shohei...strikeout king
Leadoff single for Ohtani. That's good
Dammit, Mookie Ks. Not a good sign.
Here's Teo for an automatic strikeout.
Ok, Teoscar almost got that...but he didn't run and that costs him getting to second. Not good, Teo!
that showboat shit always gonna bite you in the ass someday
EDMAN!!!!
TOMMY BOY!!!!
Edman!!
Edman with a huge double to left, just reaching out and getting that changeup off the plate. 2-1 LA.
Kiké walks. Here's Pages, with Edman on second and Hernandez on first.
Don't swing at the first pitch, Andy!
@karen and @spank: gonna need you two commenting hard to bring this one home!
Pages flies out to Alonso for the third out.
2-1 LA through 1
Manaea at 34 pitches through one frame. We need to keep this up.
Here's Ben Casparius
Geez, a two-out walk to Alvarez. This is gonna haunt us.
whew, Nimmo pops to short.
2-1 LA, mid-2
Will Will Smith get another hit in 2024? I do not think so.
CT3 with a one-out single! His second hit of the postseason. I'll take it!
Barrels are overrated.
Taylor gets a hit. A Halloween miracle
Here's Shohei
Come on, Ohtani. K.
strikeout king
And Mookie grounds back to Manaea. Dammit.
2-1 LA through 2. We need more.
Sorry, Mookie grounded off Manaea to McNeil. Still, an out at first.
Casparius leaves, and Banda can't find the strike zone.
Banda walks Winker. Great.
Way to battle and get out of that, Anthony Banda!
Geez this is a lot of pressure, each half-inning.
Leadoff single from Teoscar, that's good...
EDMAN!!!
EDMAN 2-RUN HR!!!
LET'S GOOOOOOO
EDMAN!!
Edman you beautiful bastard!!
Let's go, Stanford!
TOMMY BOY!!! AGAIN!!
Muncy with a five-pitch walk! 0 out
Manaea chased on that walk to Muncy. Manaea lasts 2.0 IP.
Edman totally transforms when he’s the cleanup batter.
Coop!! was that coop?
Muncy steals second. Kiké flies to left for the first out.
We've lost all plate discipline here. Hernandez only took four pitches from Maton; Pages flew out on the third pitch.
And here's Slappy, for the automatic third out
WILL SMITH SHUTS MY ASS UP
6-1 LA
SLAPPY!
Slappy!!!
SLAPPY!!!
Taylor almost took one yard as well!
Love seeing Will, Doc, and all the other Dodgers yelling “F&@# yeah!”
6-1 LA through 3. This game is not over, Dodgers. Do NOT let up
I love seeing all you guys calling Will Smith "Slappy".
I just said that to someone on the phone, and my kid told me this nickname is never gonna stick.
He may be right.
But it's still funny.
Alvarez with a leadoff hit off of Banda
Lindor still swinging a very hot bat, but lines out to Teoscar.
Oh wow, Edwin Diaz is warming up for the Mets.
Smoltzy talking about area codes on the scoreboard. We are Manitoba, baby! (204)
Banda gets Nimmo to K for the second out. Here's Brasier.
Brasier is not good. He gives up a HR to Vientos, so it's 6-3 LA.
What the fuck, Brasier?
shit
6-3 now after that bomb. Let’s get those back!
Alonsto gorunds out. 6-3 LA, mid-4
Edwin Diaz in for the fourth inning.
Ohtani fouls out on the first damn pitch
Mookie with a 3-1 count. Come on, Mookie!
who knows what the fuck shohei is doing
Way to go with that walk, 🐄🔑🦇🦇🦇🦇
Mookie steals! Mets pitchers don't hold runners on, so that's great.
Teoscar fouls out as well. Dammit
Teoscar and Edman can't convert Betts.
6-3 LA through 4.
I've got a bad feeling here.
This is not going to plan. Winker was down 0-2 and still gets a single off of Brasier.
Smoltz is totally right here, the longer this game goes, the more the Mets have seen these pitchers. Not good.
Great time for a double play.
Strikeout works there too.
Phillips has loaded the bases. Hold onto your butts!
come on Phillips. the fucking pitching sequence sucked.
Evan Phillips is going to give up the lead here.
He escapes! No damage!
hahaha. wooo
Holy cow that was close.
6-3 LA, mid-6
We need some more runs
Diaz is out, Ryne Stanek in.
Let's go, Shohei!
fuck yeah
7-3 LA!
Reed Garrett in for Ryne Stanek. No outs, two on. Let's be patient, Dodgers!
Boy CT3 had better be ready. That was too close
Sharply hit ball by Mookie there, but it forces Mookie. And then Lindor makes a great snag on a weak Teoscar hit up the middle. Quick two outs.
Edman is tied for the franchise record for the most RBI in a postseason series, with Corey Seager.
With Betts' SB there, Edman could break this open...
Dammit.
This is not good
7-3 LA through 6 does not feel comfortable at all
Daniel Hudson in for the seventh.
Hudson gives the run right back. And here's Lindor, with one on.
Oh man, Hudson was up 0-2 and now it's 2-2 on Lindor. Come on, Daniel!
fuck it. get this shit done!
Hudson Ks Lindor. That's huge.
Kodai Senga in for the Mets for the eighth inning.
Great camera shot on Tom Hanks for that Hudson K! Hilarious.
Muncy HBP. Ouch.
Looks like it got him on the elbow, but he's still in the game.
Why is Kiké swinging at the first pitch?! He forces Muncy at second. One out.
Come on, Pages. Turn on one.
Not sure why Kiké isn't stealing second
Pages Ks and looks foolish.
Smith quickly flies out to left.
Not sure why we weren't more patient that inning. That was not Dodger baseball.
7-4 LA through 7. Blake Treinen enters.
8th inning y'all
They're asking Treinen to go two innings. I don't know, man.
Treinen Ks Nimmo. One out.
Here's Vientos, though.
Treinen Ks Vientos. Two out.
Treinen Ks Alonso. Wow.
almost there
7-4 LA, mid-8
Let's add some runs here, boys!
Taylor with another hit! That's surprising. Good sign.
Senga walks Ohtani.
Come on, Mookie!
Full count to Mookie
Let's GO, MOOKIE!!!!
8-4 LA!
almost there
Teoscar sacrifices Ohtani home and Betts over. 9-4 LA!
Ugh, Edman forces Betts at home. Ouch.
Hope Mookie is okay. That tag looked painful.
45 runs this series for the Dodgers, a single-season postseason record.
Muncy works a walk. Senga doesn't have it, but they're keeping him out there, and I get it.
bring it!
Kiké with a base hit to right! Scores Edman, Muncy to third.
10-4 LA. Senga is chased.
Love all the Geico runs!
hold on tight
10-4, T9, Treinen still pitching.
Treinen Ks Winker.
fuck
Marte grounds out to Treinen. Let's go!
shit
Taylor with a two-out single.
RBI single for McNeil off of a leaping Chris Taylor, and here's the suddenly potent Alvarez.
10-5 LA
WIN!!!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
WIN BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fuck yeah!!!
Not sure if I'm digging these World Series hats. But I'll take it
"Shohei, if you were a betting man, who would you pick for this World Series?"
I love LA!!
PGT is UP!
