braves fans booing so I guess you weren't the only idiot
Another nail in the coffin of Kershaw's legacy. Hit two batters, afraid to throw the curveball, meatball to Rendon. I would say he could salvage this performance if he keeps the Nats to 3 runs until the 6th, but he's already at 60 pitches. He'll be out by the 4th or 5th.
He salvaged it somewhat, but putting your team down 3 early leads to impatient at bats, so I won't let him off the hook. Dodgers offense has also been trash.
Daniel Hudson looks like he wants to be anywhere but on the mound right now.
Bellinger
Both teams trying to outchoke each other
Get Hudson the out of there, he's completely shook.
Take it back, gutsy battle with Seager there by Hudson.
He really made progress this year cutting down the Ks and hitting for average, but why I'll never put him on Trout's level (or Bregman's, who I think has emerged as the second best in the AL) is because of his height. Players of that build are traditionally feast or famine sluggers. Longer limbs=worse bat control.
Just stupid to swing for the fences there when he already had Turner at second, especially on the first pitch.
Yeah. You make Hudson throw you three strikes. Pollock's ab was also terrible. I've seen this movie too many times. Dodgers inability to put a in' ball in play in a high leverage situation.
Critics call him one of the best ever but when you're 9-11 with a 4.33 ERA in the playoffs... well I don't know I can agree with them
Who's the cricket equivalent of Kershaw?
Given up on cricket tbh. I haven't watched properly it in the best part of 10 years.
I really like the sport, but they need a format that preserves the strategy of Test but ends in 3 hours. T20 isn't it. It's basically homerun derby and it seems real cricket fans dislike the gimmick of it.
Yeah I don't think they'll ever find something that compares well enough to baseball. Even in test the strategy pales in comparison to a 3 hour baseball game. It can be a little too one dimensional... especially after watching a lot of baseball
I take it you're talking about playing defensive shots for six hours straight
Damn sounds like I missed another fun day of Playoff baseball today at work
Few thoughts
- watching recording of Braves right now. Folty, what a performance. Looks like Snitker discovered something the way Fried is dealing out of the pen. Based on how Soroka performed against St.Louis this season and how Wainwright pitched versus Atlanta - Braves should be solid favorites to take 2-1 lead in the series. Only the pen on the road gives me hesitation
- so the win today assures Game 4 on Monday. I have big drinking day planned. Will check out 3-0 49ers on MNF later in the day for the first time. So my buddy is from Houston and we planned to watch them play
....on the West Coast the Astros/Rays game is scheduled for 10AM. Where does MLB come up with this .
Need to see condensed game of LAD/Nats
That's definitely one part of itI take it you're talking about playing defensive shots for six hours straight
All good, tense games today, though the Astros and Yankees broke open their games in the 5th and 7th innings.
Twins jobbing out to the Yankees in the postseason, per par. Have they ever won more than one game in a series against NYY?
Lol. Don't think so. That's what happens when you put a uber driver on the mound.
Rays need to jump out early obviously.
