I’m really surprised that the Dodgers were somehow able to advance to the NLCS with Little Eddie going 0 for 7 in the NLDS…If they’re going to achieve the trifecta, he’s going to have to start ripping the baseball and compliment his sidekick, Big Freddie.
Glasnow took the turn in today’s game, Rats, but that Yamamoto guy is the proverbial ice man. Right now there’s no one in the game I’d rather have take the baseball for game 7. He’s got total command of about 40 or 50 different pitches…
And the Dodgers become the first team to advance to the LCS with a 4-1 W over the Braves in ATL. What else is new?
And now Muncy annihilates a 3-2 pitch from Iglesias as he really turns on it to rip a solo tater over the RF wall and extend the Dodger 9th inning lead to 4-1. He destroyed that belt high FB. Max may be the most underpaid player in the game right now.
Those Indians aren’t going down without a fight as they go on the warpath in CHI with a 9-3 W over the White Sox. It’s never easy, but even the Rockies can win 2 in a row.
Dubon with the oven mitt at SS and the Das Boot as the Dodgers tie it up in the visitor half of the 2nd at 1 apiece.
The Indians tack on a run to restore their 3 run lead as this game heads to the home half of the 5th inning. I hope all 4 of these LDS go to an all or nothing 5th game.
CLE threatening again in the visitor half of the 5th inning with basrunners aboard at 1B and 2B and 1 out.
Armstrong with the nice work to escape the home half of the 4th with the Indians still holding a 4-2 lead.
Griffin K’s Montgomery for the 1st out and now Veneble goes to his BP to call on the RH’er Armstrong to face Grichuk.
Now Peters trades places with Meidroth at 2B as he follows up with an RBI double to trim the Indian’s lead to 4-2. Still 0 outs with Montgomery standing in.
There’s no quit in these White Sox as Meidroth begins the home half of the 4th inning with a lead-off double. I hadn’t seen them play before the the start of the post-season, but these White Sox have been an impressive baseball team in these first 2 rounds.
And after being handed a 3 run lead, Griffin promptly plunks the lead off batter in the home half of the 3rd inning to place Antonacci aboard at 1B with 0 outs.
Adell delivers the 2 out bases jammed 3 RBI triple in the visitor half of the 3rd inning in CHI to possibly save the Indian’s season and force them to cancel their tee-time reservations.
It’s never easy, but it wouldn’t surprise me too much if the Dodger bats detonate early while facing the RH’er Mahle. With all kinds of genuine LH’ed firepower in today’s Dodger lineup, in my estimation, there’s a decent chance that Mahle could resemble poor Jerry Quarry before they stop the fight.
A full slate of post-season action today with all four games potentially being of the elimination variety.
The Padres hang on to place a 4-3 W into the books and extend this NLDS and change the complexion of this best of 5. Even the Rockies can win 2 in a row and they don’t have one of them Mannys…We’ll see what happens.
Oh, I forgot to mention that there was also a Grichuk sighting during one of those White Sox/Indian games…They’re everywhere!
I’d have to check the rosters, Pugs. I had entirely forgotten that Romero was a Brewer until he made an appearance in this NLDS the other day. These guys bounce around so much that I sure can’t keep track of their current whereabouts. Just the other day during a White Sox game I noticed that Tommy Pham has now played for 10 different teams in his 13 season career…Haha!
I’m guessing that the Padres need to push at least another 4 or 5 runs across to avoid having to reserve a tee time for tomorrow.
