2024 NLDS Game 1 Thread

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (7-2, 3.00) vs. Dylan Cease (14-11, 3.47), 5.30p

The Padres were the inevitable opponent for the Dodgers in the 2024 NLDS, but I'm still not mentally prepared for this. We've lost eight of 13 games against the team down south that is built for the playoffs, not to mention also fueled by trying to honor team owner Peter Seidler, who recently passed. The Padres steamrolled the Braves in the Wild Card round and have all the momentum.

The Dodgers, on the other hand, come into the 2024 postseason cobbling together what they can of a starting rotation, having lost ace Tyler Glasnow and workhorse Gavin Stone, not to mention a whole host of arms through the course of the year. Our best option for Game 1 is a guy who just returned to the active roster after missing most of the second half of the season with an arm injury.

I'll be at Game 1 tonight, expecting the worst (but hoping for the best).

5-0 Guards 2nd inning

karen said...

Schwarber hits a homerun off Mets ace who has kind of came out of nowhere to start the game. He has only pitched 5.1 innings this season and has about 40 bullets for pitches today.

Thanks for drinking for me Spanky. I have a feeling I'm going to need it. I'm a little (a lot) scared.

karen said...


Geez, Wheeler is dealing and Mets pitcher Senga went out after 31 pitches and 2 innings. Bringing in a pitcher that's been hurt all season sounds scarily familiar

karen said...

1-0 red team after 3.

Steve Sax said...

Kershaw ruled out for the entire postseason.

QuadSevens said...

Just saw the Kershaw news here too. That sucks. I wonder if this is it for him.

QuadSevens said...

Someone call up Miyagi. Freddie needs his help with his ankle.

spank said...

Vientos ties the game up for the Mets in the eighth.

FOX reporting Freddie is not in the lineup so there's a chance he will be a late scratch.

karen said...

All three guys on the FS1 pregame said the Friars would win. Jeter was bad mouthing Shohei because he said he wasn't nervous and Papi, who I usually really like, said Shohei didn't have the swing to hit this pitcher.

Steve Sax said...

I am stoked.
