Padres vs. Dodgers NLDS Thread

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Tonight? I thought the camera had only caught him once, after the last half inning.

Nope. During the inning too when he couldn't bear to watch

 

[LogansDad]

There's a large group right behind home wearing trident hats, but they're cheering for the Padres.

I don't think those are Mariner hats. It looks more like a W or a crown than a trident to me.

 

[derekson]

Well, playing at 2nd allowed Muncy to do a full on stretch like a first baseman

 

[brandonchristensen]

How slow is Machado

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Gotta capitalize on that

 

[mauidano]

Trea Turner is no Dansby Swanson.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Left fielders ball. call him off.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Turner's been a liability.

 

[brandonchristensen]

That's two swings by Kim that feels like...he's not a baseball player.

 

[brandonchristensen]

DAMN

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

It feels like the Padres dominated the first 3 innings. It also feels like they're going to lose.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Fantastic play by Machado

 

[brandonchristensen]

There’s the homer.

 

[teddywingman]

I do like Nola.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Damn just a few feet short.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Soto with a garbage slow route to start this inning and will probably lead to multiple runs

 

[3rd Degree]

This is where the wheels fall off for the Pads

 

[E5 Yaz]

I know he has numbers, but I'm glad the trade deadline wish casting for Josh Bell didn't come to fruition

 

[Mystic Merlin]

‘Gut’ v ‘analytics’

Sigh. Yeah because observational evidence = gut

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Trea Turner is having a brutal game.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Soto with a garbage slow route to start this inning and will probably lead to multiple runs

Well, they got out of it with the lead, but I’ve definitely noticed Soto taking bad routes and just generally lumbering around out there. Tremendous bat, and he’s still a kid, but strikes me as a DH in waiting before his 30th birthday.

 

[LogansDad]

That's a hell of a performance from Heaney.

 

[brandonchristensen]

This game is tense

 

[LogansDad]

Fuck, one batter too long.

 

[mauidano]

Guess the law of averages caught up with Snell & Muncy.

 

[brandonchristensen]

I hate being behind

 

[brandonchristensen]

Muncy moves quick.

 

[teddywingman]

Muncy moves quick.

I was thinking that too. Surprisingly quick.

 

[mauidano]

HUGE shut down.

 

[LogansDad]

HUGE!!!

 

[shawnrbu]

Surprised Gallo didn’t pinch hit for Taylor. What happened to the Dave Roberts that played left/right matchups all the time?

 

[derekson]

Taylor is a pretty good hitter without massive splits

 

[brandonchristensen]

Wow close on the 3-2.

 

[mauidano]

Vesia's delivery seems like everything goes down and in on RHH.

 

[teddywingman]

Wow close on the 3-2.

Robots would have called it a strike I believe.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Soto has just missed two oppo homeruns.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Robots would have called it a strike I believe.

I think your'e right.

 

[LogansDad]

Man, Soto's about 6 feet from two home runs.

 

[teddywingman]

Ball is carrying. Off the bat I didn't think it would be that deep.

Machado now... sorry but I'm rooting for an out.

 

[derekson]

Soto has just missed two oppo homeruns.

Starting to understand why his SLG was under 400 after being traded to the Padres

 

[brandonchristensen]

Ball is carrying. Off the bat I didn't think it would be that deep.

Neither did Soto. But that's gone in some parks.

Come on Machado *shudder*

 

[derekson]

Neither did Soto. But that's gone in some parks.

Come on Machado *shudder*

You should feel bad for rooting for Machado doing anything positive.... and he just struck out

 

[E5 Yaz]

So many mixed emotions

 

[brandonchristensen]

Considering it really doesn't matter to me who wins - this shit is TENSE.

 

[teddywingman]

That's a beautiful thing.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Garcia with the nASTY

 

[brandonchristensen]

That Ball 1 at 101 was like Derek Lowe on steroids. Jesus Christ.

 

[mauidano]

Gavin has a point here.

 

[shawnrbu]

Hideous called Strike 3.

 

[derekson]

That wasn't even close to a strike
