Nearly every batter the Doyers put out there is a big name with the history/stats to back it up, but when it matters a lot of them have choked (except Granderson, not sure why he's been so bad with LA).

I get your point, when I say "on paper," I just can never help considering the fact Kershaw has never given the Dodgers a lock-down performance in the playoffs aside from the Braves series 4 years ago. And we know Darvish is also a massive choker. I do think their bats are better in a vacuum.

They just don't have that clutch factor. It's what separates the MadBum's and Rivera's from the Price's and every Rangers closer ever.

MLB wanted to the Cubs to workout today at Dodger stadium. I say fuck the MLB and let the chaps kick back & relax until the game tomorrow night.

Masterful. I think he allowed one fly ball all night. Ground ball machine. Defense helped him out a bit. And Altuve :wow

A real MVP in Houston - unlike Frauden.

:lol

And Keuchel is the best bearded athlete in Houston :p:

Christ almighty what a walkoff. This shit is crazy..

Yanks have got the Astros right where they want em, up 2-0.

The Dodgers are such chokers and losers.

Brand new game. It would be nice if were Bryzzo can get their shit together.

This bloody damn bullpen :bang

Meh, doesn't even matter. Considering the way our offense is performing 3 runs alone is plenty to beat us.

I know the feeling. We'll give one back to you this series, don't worry :lol

Puig was awesome tonight. He's been one of the most clutch hitters all season.

Pretty much a must win game tonite. Let's see if those clutch genes can come to our rescue again.

So that's what clutch hitting looks like. Must be nice...

Cubs just seem much less disciplined at the plate this year than they were last year. Been a lot of poor ABS for them this postseason.

They are back in 2015 NLCS mode. This one will likely end the same way that one did, tbh.

The guy who lead the league in HR's given up does exactly what he was suppose to, tbh.

Bringing in Lackey was a huge mistake. Also, Turner is one of the clutchest mother fuckers I've ever seen.

He's responsible for making me hate Tormund. I'm officially hoping that mofo died at the wall so I don't have his mug as a reminder of the dirty things JT is doing to the Cubs.

:lol Cubs

GG. Still by no means over. This is the Dodgers we're talking about :lol

Justin Turner went to the same high school as I did. That was a sick walk-off.
