Red Sox vs Dodgers WS Thread (2018 non Cubs games)

[Cubswin11]

This cardinals pitcher is no hitting the dodgers and strutting all over them. They really are like a new team.

Their pitching is gonna be scary good for the next 3-5 years.

No team has been set up better since the 2015 Mets

[The_Achiever]

You know it probably hasn’t even occurred to ol dense ass mike matheny that he was the problem. I took his ineptitude for granted and I regret it; I thought he was going to be manager for life.

[Brian]

turned it on and Joc breaks it up with a homer, you're welcome

[soccer10k]

No hitter gone

Shutout gone

 

Joc Pederson homer.

[Brian]

a guy I've never heard of hit a home run off a guy i've never heard of in the 8th inning of a 1-0 Cardinals/Dodgers game

[soccer10k]

This is going to shock everyone but the Dodger pen blew the lead. Solo homer and it’s 1-1.

[Cubswin11]

I was told Dave Roberts was a master tactician when it came to bullpens

[Brian]

would this version of the Dodgers against the previous 5 games Cubs be a vortex of suck that would swallow the Earth?

[Brian]

Lol Carpenter just caught the ball without his foot on 1st the throw was high but there was no reason for his foot to be off the bag

Yeah, that was bad. He jumped to get the ball and then just never even tried to put his foot back on the bag.

[soccer10k]

Come on Manny. Get the big hit.

[Brian]

That's Cub

[Brian]

might fly out to LA for that Dave Roberts jersey giveaway on Saturday

horsefeathers off Kenley Jansen.

[17 Seconds]

it's so sad that these cardinals games are relevant to the cubs

[NotSoSober]

Not the best time to see Kenley Jansen turn into complete horsefeathers. I'm sure he'll be back on the DL tomorrow

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers off Dodgers

 

 

Also, go back to being the 82 to 85 win team you are any day now Cardinals

[17 Seconds]

maybe stop using your obviously broken reliever in crucial situations when you're desperate for wins

Until all their arms fall off.

To be fair, their entire bullpen has been blowing games for a couple weeks now. If he didn’t give it up, someone else would have.

 

EDIT:

 

Aug 8: Tied 2-2 with Oakland, give up 1 in the the 8th, lose 3-2.

Aug 9: Up 3-1 on Colorado, give up 4 in the 7th but win 8-5.

Aug 10: Up 4-3 on Colorado, give up 3 in the 7th and lose 5-4.

Aug 11: Up 2-0 on Colorado, give up 3 in the bottom of the 9th and lose 3-2.

Aug 12: Tied 3-3 with Colorado, give up 1 in the bottom of the 9th and lose 4-3.

Aug 13: Up 2-1 on SF, give up 4 in the top of the 9th and lose 5-2.

Aug 14: Tied 1-1 with SF, give up 1 in the 9th to lose 2-1.

Aug 15: Up 3-0 on SF, give up 3 in the 8th but win in extras.

Aug 18: Get walked off by Seattle in the 10th.

Aug 20: Kenley gives up the two homers to start the ninth.

And tonight.

Part of me is fine with the Cardinals ending the Dodgers like we did with Washington.

 

Hopefully the Rockies keep it up and sweep the Cards. LA is probably done at that point.

for maximum aggravation, the dodgers would catch fire after this series and then beat the cubs out for the second wild card as the cardinals win the division

I’ll take maximum awesomeness. Sweep the Cards in the NLDS in a run differential series. Beat some dumb up and coming team I don’t care about then win the stupid World Series.

[UMFan83]

The Dodgers are a near image of what we'd be dealing with if we didnt win Game 7 (minus the 108 year stigma continuing). Some of the responses are lamenting on how very little has gone right since the World Series. Others are calling it an aberration and they are set up to be the class of baseball for the next several years.

[Liam Neeson]

The Rockies, who have gotten a wRC+ of 69 from their 1B position this year and passed on both Daniel Murphy and Matt Adams, have called up 38 year old Matt Holliday and are starting him in LF today.
