We hit. We win. It's simple as that. These boys can't play around with the Nats. I have seen a few brackets that have them winning it all. There are a lot of people sleeping on the Dodgers. I really hope we can play to our potential and finally win it all.
please please please baseball Gods.....please make the last 2yrs of heartache and pain payoff this year....please please please give us the old Kenley back too
I dreamed last night that the Dodgers did not score a single run in the Nats series. Hopefully it was an Anti-jinx dream.
Clayton Kershaw is the greatest big game choker in sports history who will be in the Hall of Fame. I wouldn't trust him if the Dodgers were up 3-0 in a series with an 8 run lead in the 9th. Dodgers will need Walker and Ryu to pitch lights out all playoffs and the dodgers hitting needs to drop at least 6 and 7 runs every game. No other way.
What a start to these playoffs. Great performance all around, batters were patient, wore out the Nats pitchers, and got those timely RBI's when RISP. The pitching was basically flawless today.
Dodgers need to sweep and send a message. Then when they face the Cardinals, wax those fools in 5 and then avenge 2017 against the Astros in the series. No way around it.
Yeah how cool was that. If our pitching can be serviceable to win an NLCS and World Series and we hung onto him I think we're going to like him a lot in the future. Next ROY for Dodgers? Has that Mike Trout / Captain America look to him.
Kershaw proving OX is right by giving up 3 early runs. Way better 3rd inning from him there, but that curveball is not there today. The offense needs to wake up and grind at bats vs. Strasburg to get to their bullpen. Edit: Strasburg looks like he might get a no hitter at this rate. Edit: Kershaw hangs on and gets a quality start. 6 innings and 3 ER. The offense needs to do something on Strasburg now.
17ks and Kershaw spent first 2 innings scared to throw his curve and Bellinger/seager not hitting at all. Ugh.. horrible loss.
Agreed, that was a garbage performance by the offense. Strasburg did pitch very well, but we helped him a lot. They literally spent the entire game swinging at balls, there was too much home run hero ball style hitting out there today. Bellinger and Seager coming up small for us again in the postseason with the terrible at bats. They had this habit of swinging at the first pitch way too much. Of course it had to be that inside breaking ball that fooled Seager for the final out. That pitch still gives nightmares from when Mccullers spammed it in the 2017 World Series. Dustin May also looks like the weakest link in the bullpen. He does not have strikeout ability out there and looks very hittable.
Alright... Dodgers are up now that the Raiders did their part for the day. Time for the Dodgers to get their win. I'll be back to celebrate our win.
