GDT: 2021 NLCS: (3) Atlanta Braves vs (WC1) Los Angeles Dodgers

[solventless710]

Hoping the Dodgers pull off the comeback. I have zero interest in an Astros-Braves WS.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Rosario aka Mike Trout is unstoppable.

 

[BMOK33]

I definitely did not like that move pulling Anderson and I still don't know how much I love it since they need 9 outs from the pen now. I assume Will Smith is pitching the 8th and 9th so in essence you have to get thru 3 innings

 

[Halladay]

The Dodgers have just seemed pretty much dead offensively in this series other than game 5. Credit to the Braves pitchers.

 

[Halladay]

Is this the Dodgers rally again with Jackson in??? Taylor smoked that.

Very wild to start. Tying run is on and none out.

 

[BMOK33]

The problem when you're up 3-4 and you have that rally the Braves had is you better score or you're better off not having had the rally at all. Those sort of things always tend to change momentum

 

[Halladay]

Hey Brian, pull him.

Setting up for a great ending.

Bringing a lefty for Albert?? ok then.

 

[BMOK33]

Oddly enough that was a darn good pitch there, that was not really Jackson's fault at all

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Albert strikes out in what is possibly his final AB.

 

[BMOK33]

That K at least increases the chances LA does not get the lead but really gonna be hard for ATL not to escape this much better than 4-3.

 

[Halladay]

Good pitching to Albert. The Dodgers need to get Bellinger in at the very least.

They will probably walk Mookie regardless of what happens here unless a walk.

 

[BMOK33]

Any long time Braves fan knows the 3 run homer or 2 run single comes now just when you thought you were getting out of it

 

[Blitzkrug]

If the Dodgers leave this inning with nothing more they should just get on the plane and fly back home.

Champions take advantage of these moments.

 

[Halladay]

Why is Mookie taking 2 fastballs down the middle??? and he strikes out. Great job by Matzek. Think that was it for the Dodgers.

I wouldnt pitch Jackson against Houston.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Matzek gets out of the mess.

Inexplicable by Mookie to take those pitches as Halladay said.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Down in three pitches, all three of which were hittable.

Go home, Dodgers.

 

[BMOK33]

Someone on twitter said those last 2 ABs almost looked like a team who thought they had the signs stolen and were totally wrong. It really appeared both guys on 3-4 pitches completely expected something other than what they got

 

[Halladay]

Taylor, Bellinger, and Pollock are the Dodgers best hitters. Lucky for them they will be up again.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I can't get over how bad that AB was.

This isn't some schlub. This is Mookie Betts, former MVP, one of the best all around players in baseball, postseason hero, etc.

And despite that....he sits there and just takes two fastballs for no reason and then whiffs on an absolute meatball.

Usually when these top notch teams get upset in the playoffs their hitting or pitching goes to total crap. Its hard to otherwise beat a team like that in a 7 game series without one of the two totally failing.

 

[Halladay]

I have no idea why Roberts keeps batting Seager 2nd. He has been really bad.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Dodgers go down meekly in the 8th.

 

[BMOK33]

I remember when I played little league around age 15 we won the state and in the top of the last inning we purposely all struck out here to get to the last 3 outs and there was a huge fight between the parents of the opposing team and our coaches for letting it happen.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Great AB by Soler

 

[Halladay]

The Dodgers have the right part of their lineup batting if they were to extend this.
