Jack Flaherty (13-7, 3.17) vs. Yu Darvish (7-3, 3.31), 5p
Yesterday's game showed some grit for the Dodgers, and it was a pleasant surprised after the last two years of quick playoff exits. Shohei Ohtani's second-inning, game-tying three-run HR brought the Dodger Stadium crowd back into the game, and it was a rollicking time from then onward. Now if we could just get Mookie Betts (0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored) to banish his recent postseason monkey, as well as Max Muncy (0-for-4 with 2 Ks) to be more than an automatic out, we'll be really rolling.
The production from the bottom of the order--5-for-14 with four runs scored, across Will Smith, Gavin Lux, Tommy Edman, and Miguel Rojas--was exactly what the Dodgers needed to take Game 1. Yoshinobu Yamamoto wasn't sharp, but Padres starter Dylan Cease had a similarly bad pitching line--and the Dodgers came out on top in the slugfest.
Today's Game 2 is another critical game. I'll be going to the Stadium again, this time with SoSG Orel. Let's go!

We are at the game. It is NUTS
My cable has been out almost all day and the guy just came and fixed it. Dude was a Dodgers fan, too, so he took good care of us. I so hate Spectrum.

Tatis Jr homers. Apparently he has Flaherty's number and has always hit him well according to Joe Davis.
meh
Ump squeezing Flaherty.
Darvish is Shohei's childhood idol.
dumb ass fan should have caught that.
@Spanky...We're drinking, right??
@karen..yes
@Spanky....Good
Dodgers best get one back here
pay cut for Mookie. he's fucking horrible
Mookie has been awful, what is happening herep
What’s the word on Freeman?
I am blown away by how bad Mookie has been.
We're running out of time
come on luxy
Come on Doc. Don't demoralize them.
Baby Graterol needs to come out but Doc is going to let him take a beating to protect the bullpen.
Padres tie the series 1-1.
That was not grit.
That was not Mookie's breakout game.
Mookie is cold as ice. Freddie is hurt. No Clayton. Bullpen games in October. No way we're going easy y'all. This team is too good and has already survived to much shit and so have we. Tomorrow is off and the trip to Friarland is a short one (no cross country flights into different time zones). Dig deep guys. We're in it to win this mother. Let's pull our panties up and get this job done.
That's the best rah rah I can put together at 2:30 in the fricking morning. We've got our marching orders. Let's go!!!
