Wow, Jansen for a 4 our save?

Reminder: Angel is calling balls and strikes tomorrow.
-
If you're mad at today's ump, remember that Angel Hernandez is behind home tomorrow.

Please win tonight or tomorrow. Don't want to see the Dodgers win the pennant in person.
-
Why didn't they challenge that??

It's going to be pretty warm Wednesday and Thursday with little or no marine influence. Also, the sun will be out for the first hour of the game. There should be a few homers in Games 4 and 5.

Guys, we got this. After all, we're stealing the Dodgers' signs: http://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-sp-dodgers-cubs-grandal-20161016-snap-story.html

I kind of hope he does. I'll gladly take a reduced Kershaw on short rest over a dominant Kershaw on full rest. The only thing the Dodgers gain by starting him on short rest is him being available in the bullpen in Game 7, which doesn't really seem worth the risk of sacrificing a good start from your best pitcher. Yep. If I am them, and he is only making one start, I'd want it to be of the 125-pitch, dominant, fully-rested variety. He already looked like he was feeling it a bit as the game went on tonight. And he wasn't great in his last start with three days rest. Give me a fully-rested Lester over Kershaw on fumes. Additionally, if it gets to that point, it'll be a tired Kershaw pitching in hot temperatures Thursday. Should still be around 90 at game time:

Yeah, but Rizzo seems to go through these stretches 2-3 times a season and then snap right out of it. Russell should be dropped in the lineup, but I'm not sure it'll happen if Heyward and Montero start Game 3. Yeah, ultimately I'm confident Rizzo will pull out of it (actually looked better tonight, IMO), but I agree with dropping Russell and putting Baez in his spot. Wouldn't mind Almora getting the start over Heyward, too. Not sure Almora's bat is any better than Heyward's tbh but at least you get the L/R advantage. Even if Almora's inserted in the lineup, they're not displacing Russell out of the 5 or (maybe) the 6 spot in games Montero starts.

The best umpires MLB has to offer. horsefeathers out of here with that trash.

Three to the horsefeathering track. Come on.

Should've pulled him after the Gonzalez walk (and I would've been okay pulling him before Gonzalez came up).
-
Kershaw balked there with Javy on but whatever.
