NLCS Gamethread: Dodgers vs Brewers

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

What a beastly AB for Pina

 

[LaszloKovacks]

Is it just me, or is MIL onto something with the way they toe into the front of the 1B bag on ground balls?

Lesser chance of injury?

 

[Bergs]

My main takeaway from this series thus far is that it would take a fucking miracle for either of these teams to beat HOU or BOS in a 7 game series when the AL has HFA.

 

[Bergs]

Lesser chance of injury?

Faster to the bag, no overstride. If the ump blows it it's reviewable.

Edit: just throwing this out there. n=2

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Nails inning by Jansen there.

 

[Bergs]

Shore blown away on a high FB out of the zone? No way!

 

[Bergs]

Pumping in noise in an NLCS tie game in the 9th inning...ugh.

Was just about to comment on this. It's extremely annoying.

 

[mauidano]

This game is painfully intense if you are a Dodger fan.

 

[sean1562]

terrible AB by Pederson.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Milwaukee's bullpen is full of filth

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Milwaukee's bullpen is full of filth

Yeah, they're scary right now. We've seen time and again that a huge part of winning a World Series is getting a hot bullpen at the exact right time.

 

[mauidano]

So overmatched. Here it is...see if you can catch up.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Taylor swinging on 3-1? Against Knebel? Wow

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Hahaha. The crowd Truped themselves. Silly LA baseball fans.

 

[The Filthy One]

Ok, that was a catch. I gave him shit last night, but that was for real.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Holy shit that catch by Bellinger

 

[Bergs]

Lol at that throw.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Jansen pitching great too. This game is the shit.

 

[Bergs]

Yeah, they're scary right now. We've seen time and again that a huge part of winning a World Series is getting a hot bullpen at the exact right time.

Problem is they'll never have a lead to protect against HOU or BOS.

 

[Blue Monkey]

What's wrong with the turf at dodgers stadium? It looks like I went out there with a 7 iron.

 

[ehaz]

Crazy how competitive the Brewers have been with the NL MVP basically being irrelevant in the postseason. If Yelich was playing like he did in August/September this series would have been over an hour ago.

To be fair, the pitching guys like Yelich or any of these players have to face in these playoffs is way better than what they were seeing in August or September. Just think of whom the Red Sox are trotting out in these games versus the dog days of summer. Its easier to hit the ball when its being thrown by the likes of a Tyler Thornburg or Brian Johnson.

 

[shawnrbu]

Machado is a punk.

 

[Blue Monkey]

Machado... what a cockbag

 

[BornToRun]

He’s such an unrepentant dickhead.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Aguilar and Machado squaring off!

 

[mauidano]

Machado is a dick.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Oh hey look, Machado being an asshole. Shocked.

 

[JohntheBaptist]

Wow, he knows there are cameras on him, doesn't he?

 

[Marciano490]

I don’t think Machado wins that fight.

 

[shawnrbu]

That's gotta be a suspension.

 

[Bergs]

Machado will be a perfect Yankee next year. Fucking asshole.

 

[Greg29fan]

That was 100% intentional

 

[santadevil]

What a fucking asshole

 

[The Raccoon]

Machado is such a POS

 

[The Filthy One]

Machado has a lot of ARod in him. He’ll fit right in in NY.

 

[Maximus]

Machado will be a perfect Yankee next year. Fucking asshole.

Nailed it.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

how many millions could Machado be costing himself? probably none, but I can imagine.

 

[JohntheBaptist]

Machado will be a perfect Yankee next year. Fucking asshole.

Is it weird I'm actually worried about that?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Machado really does not come off well there.

 

[ehaz]

I really wish Rougned Odor played for Milwaukee right about now.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

how many millions could Machado be costing himself? probably none, but I can imagine.

The Yankees are going to pay him more for skills like that.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Machado will be a perfect Yankee next year. Fucking asshole.

+1

 

[JohntheBaptist]

Machado has a lot of ARod in him. He’ll fit right in in NY.

No way A-Rod does something that dirty. The slap was just lame. Its different.

 

[LynnRice75]

how many millions could Machado be costing himself? probably none, but I can imagine.

Seems like he's making himself more appealing to the Yankees. Been a while since they had an infielder slugger who takes cheap shots while running to first in a championship series.

 

[santadevil]

I hope Pedroia explodes Machado next year

 

[ehaz]

At first I thought it was stupid how the Sox kept throwing at Machado, but I can see why. I wish they hit that douche every opportunity available to em.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I really wish Rougned Odor played for Milwaukee right about now.

Thing about that is that if you are Machado, you now have to think about some of those nasty Brewer relievers throwing gas at you anytime the opportunity presents itself. That is scarier than an Odor roundhouse.

 

[SoxInTheMist]

Not only an asswipe maneuver but how fucking dumb do you have to be to do that? Did he really think no one would notice? Or are we really in complete denial world nowadays where he can just say he didn't do it on purpose?
