2016 NLDS: Washington Nationals (2) Vs. Los Angeles Dodgers (3) - Series Discussion

[Pwnasaurus]

Dodgers lineup: Why is Toles starting?

Because he's a good baseball player

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Love the Nats as underdogs tonite.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Because he's a good baseball player

He's ****in' loony tunes, too.

 

[BMOK33]

Good start for FS1. Feed completely cuts out two seconds into the pre game

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Harold Reynolds is back.

Going to be watching in french.

 

[Del Preston]

Verducci and Reynolds are going to make this series unwatchable.

 

[Tecumseh]

Don't have that luxury. I think I'll down a bunch of pain pills instead

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Corey Seager! Statement HR to deep CF.

 

[BMOK33]

Sometimes you say "that might be all you need" but it's after October 1st unfortunately

 

[Timo Time]

So confused, DirectTV shows this airing on MLBN, but they are not broadcasting it... What channel is it really on?

Fox Sports 1.

 

[BMOK33]

Yup I saw MLBN listed earlier this week too on the score boxes for the game but it's definitely not on there

 

[Blitzkrug]

Good pitching duel so far.

Both guys with 3 K's, Kershaw's coming back to back to back.

 

[BMOK33]

Bad error but I doubt it matters. Scherzer can hit but not against a guy like this

 

[shortshorts]

40 pitches through 2. Yikes.

 

[Blitzkrug]

When i said pitcher's duel, this isn't exactly what i had in mind

Not a bad AB from Scherzer.

 

[BMOK33]

40 pitches through 2. Yikes.

He will be forced through 7 at 115-120 if possible then they'll go for the 6 out save. I'm not sure he has it today though, may get hit next time through or he may settle in.

I doubt Dave Roberts will push him that far. The Dodgers have a good bullpen. I think he'll go 6 at most. They need to start making Scherzer work harder though.

Scherzer rarely if ever has low pitch outings, his numbers will come
Up

 

[shortshorts]

Scherzer really susceptible to home runs eh.

(I don't really watch baseball until the playoff stretch)

 

[Halladay]

Scherzer really susceptible to home runs eh.

Yeah, he even had problems with this when he played in Comerica. I think the game this year he struck out 20 batters he allowed 3 homeruns. Still very good though.

That contract will suck in 2-3 years. He's thrown an insane amount of pitches and innings the last few years and has a somewhat violent motion. I'd be shocked if he isn't eventually bought out. The hope is thought that the Nats win one before that

 

[EpochLink]

Mad Max pulling his best David Price today

 

[Blitzkrug]

Scherzer has actually won a game as a starting pitcher in the playoffs though.

If I remember right the brilliant Tigers pen that year cost him another win in that series
