NLDS: Diamondbacks vs Dodgers

[DanoooME]

Find someone who was old in 1900 but still in baseball and you can take this to the beginning of the game in 3 steps.

Cap Anson leaves a gap in 1899 (played from 1871-1897 and managed in 1898)
Dan Brouthers goes from 1879-1904.

 

[glasspusher]

well there goes the no hitter

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Sort of amazing stat--Robbie Ray had exactly the same number of both walks(71) and strikeouts(218) this season and last season.

Nothing else about the two seasons were similar

 

[Al Zarilla]

I like Dave Roberts, obviously, but telling Utley he's not starting because he wants him available in the exact right situation is kind of bullshit. Heard it twice now.

Puig is a nut

 

[johnmd20]

Puig hits a single, flips his bat like he's Kirk Gibson in the World Series.

 

[glasspusher]

Puig is a nut

Even a single is a reason to flip the bat!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bad read by Barnes there not scoring.

Forsythe, not Barnes.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I enjoy it, because I enjoy anything that fucks with baseball's "unwritten rules"

 

[glasspusher]

Kind of a big at bat here. Not getting a good vibe for the Dodgers.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Bad read by Barnes there not scoring.

He would have had to run past Forsythe

 

[Couperin47]

Despite my manager being an asshole, the quality of all the post season games so far is effing incredible...if you can't get into this kind of baseball...

 

[glasspusher]

oh my god

You are a good man. Unwritten rules are fake rules.

 

[glasspusher]

Why bother sliding into home? Nobody was there.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Is Kyle Farmer really the best the Dodgers have to pinch hit here?

 

[johnmd20]

I don't think it's an unwritten rule to not flip your bat on a single. It's just lame. Hit a bomb, flip all you want. A slicing single the other way?

 

[glasspusher]

I was thinking the same thing. He had a decent at bat...

 

[johnmd20]

Great throw to first there.

 

[glasspusher]

He beats the throw! He should go back and flip his bat!

I just like the fact that he pisses so many people off with all the over the top emotion and enthusiasm he plays with. I'd like more, not less of it.

Gotta agree with that. For whatever Puig seems to be, he strikes me as genuine. Now Fernando Rodney wearing his hat crooked? That pisses me off.

I guess. Looks like all the other righties started, but Ray doesn't really have much of a split. Utley was probably a much better option.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Lovullo trying to steal outs.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

Lovullo trying to steal outs.

See, they’re all as bad as Farrell!!!!

 

[glasspusher]

Granderson fast heads up baserunning

 

[Al Zarilla]

JD Martinez with an ill advised throw to third base. Don't trade for him.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Arizona is getting nickel and dimed to death.

 

[glasspusher]

good piece of hitting

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Impressive inning by the Dodgers. The Dbags look unprepared.

 

[glasspusher]

...and the wheels come off

 

[glasspusher]

Dave Roberts was born in Okinawa

 

[Al Zarilla]

Dave Roberts was born in Okinawa

Good that he missed the fireworks there.

Is he a bit quick replacing pitchers; Maeda only pitched for 3 outs. Or is Maeda a possible starter down the road and he's saving him.

Maeda isn't starting in this series. It's Darvish, then Wood.

OK.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Sort of amazing that Adrian is a non-factor in such a potent offense.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Ron Gardenhire is Lovullo's bench coach. Who knew.

 

[shawnrbu]

Drury hit one about 500 feet.

 

[The Filthy One]

This DBacks can swing the bats, man. This could get interesting.

 

[glasspusher]

oh my. No lead is safe.

 

[Blue Monkey]

Must be nice to be a fan of a team with an actual offense.

 

[glasspusher]

Drury hit one about 500 feet.

perfect swing

 

[Blue Monkey]

oh my. No lead is safe.

Except the astros'

So many boner decisions by managers in the DS games.

BONEHEADED*

Well, the series is long and hard

 

[The Filthy One]

This post season has really highlighted what a nut-punch fest baseball can be. We are all sick bastards for enjoying this.

Marte doing his best Buckner imitation.

 

[The Filthy One]

“It’s party time right here.” I love Eck so much.

 

[Al Zarilla]

D-backs don't look like they're quite there. Of course, Marte is, what, the 5th shortstop they've had to use this year.
