Dodger Talk

So they did make some changes in the order. Will Smith up to 2, and Call replaces Pages.

Not exactly what I suggested, but at least they're trying something. Hopefully it helps.

Also, Shohei already said he could pitch out of the pen in Game 6 or 7, which is good. I assumed so for G7, as everybody will be on deck, but if he can relieve in G6, that means we could use more of our better relievers tonight. JUST NOT TREINEN.

 

That was a copy cat of game 4. What a massive let down.

Snell looked hittable, rocked early. Why is Roberts trying to make him go more than 6 innings when he gave up 3 runs already. Well I guess yeah the bullpen chokes after, but still.

Doesn't look like this team is winning with the way the offense has completely disappeared like Casper. They look like they got no pride and heart left to fight to do something. Toronto just looks like the better team in all departments. Yesavage was dominant.

Changes need to make made. Fire the hitting coach, something, because keep spamming pop outs is not working at all!

 

I have faith in Yamamoto for Game 6.
Dreaming: complete game shutout
Realistic: Yama 6-7 innings, Wrobleski 1, Klein 1, Sasaki 1

Then in Game 7, anything is possible, and all hands are on deck
Dreaming: Don't need Sasaki G6, he starts G7 for 4-5 innings, Ohtani closes w 4-5 innings
Realistic: Glasnow 4-5 innings, Sheehan 1-2, Henriquez 1, Ohtani 1-2, everyone else if needed

Order still needs fixing for both games.
Ohtani
Freeman
Smith
Teo
Mookie
Muncy
Edman
Rojas
Kike

 

I’m going to be long and detailed. Yall some of yall know me from Lakers. Been a huge Dodger fan.

Dodgers hang their hat on Championship team built on pass the Baton. The Dodgers need to pass the Baton. I don’t think they go Ohtani Freeman two left handers.

positives Gausman will throw strikes and we were pretty bad against him outside Smith and Muncy.

I think we make the adjustments and jump on him. He’s hittable. We can get to that bullpen.

Ohtani said it best swing at strikes don’t swing at balls.

Seattle beat these guys twice in the dome. What did they do? They had no answer for big dumper.

take that approach. Seattle was one pitch from away getting a win in game 7. Outside that pitch to Springer they dominated.

Team is kind of shocked shook. But we got Yamamoto going and he says losing isn’t an option two complete game starts. They are built different in Japan.

Realistically we shut them up in Milwaukee. He needs to keep his ball down. I got Yamato going for 7 innings. Sheen for 1 and Sasaki to close it. We might see Sasaki for 3 depending on the score.

We got to Gausman he’s going to go after us. Probably getting the same scouting report from Bieber and yaywashier


Make him pay. I trust Ohtani Freeman and Smith. Smith has delivered. Freeman and Smith sound focused.

Mookie sounds like he’s lost confidence.

1. Ohtani
2.Mookie
3.Freddie
4.Smith
5.Kike Hernandez
6.Max Muncy
7.Teoscar Hernandez
8.Miguel Rojas
9.Tommy Edman


I got Edman at 9 because I want a seasoned batter to work this pitcher in front of Ohtani.

and put Kike in there to put some spark in the middle to get some contact.

especially with Gausman.

Get in his head. And Ohtani will get one and take it deep.

and give Yoshi Yomomato the cushion.

We beat these guys 5-1 last time they’ll make adjustments but I see us winning this game 3-0.

I really do. I think Yoshi is a gamer.

Missing Vesia has completely changed this whole team. No high leverage guy. Having to leave your starters in there longer than you’d like to. Ohtani and Snell.

taxing arms. It’s just been hard without our top reliever.

So now with backs against the wall. Yamamoto Glassnow Klein Sasaki Gluboski Kershaw

for game 7

Ohtani you have to start with Ohtani because if you bring him in as a reliever you have to take him out as a hitter so that’s not an option.

So you start with Ohtani follow with Glassnow Snell Yublososwki Sheen and Sasaki

Roberts got a lot of adjustments to make. As you know from Basketball. They better not let us win game 6 cause if we get to game 7 they don’t want that. We can do this two in a row.

We’ve been here before. They gotta take the championship trophy from us we ain’t gonna give it to them.

 

I like your thinking having Kike leadoff in front of Ohtani giving us and extra lead off hitter very smart.

 

Roberts had to have them go 6. Usually that’s Vesia. He doesn’t have Vesia his top reliever it puts him in a terrible spot.

 

My correction. You can bring Ohtani in as a reliever

But you have to move him to left field and then take out the left fielder to keep him in the game. If you want to remove him as a reliever as he can come back in the field. I’m guessing that’s irrelevant as he would be the closer.

I like our chances for 1 game to beat these guys.
