GDT: 2018 NLCS: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers

[darko]

I’m more confused why he went to Hader that early than why he pulled him. Going to him that early is highly unlikely to change the outcome of the game. If you win going to him that early it probably means the Dodgers pitching imploded and you blew them out. If you lose it probably means you had nobody left after him, didn’t score and lost. So the reality is result is the same going to anyone else for 3-4 innings

Had they gone to someone else it'd probably be 5-1 after 3 and Hader warming up in the pen.

its the 6th inning lol

feels so postgame

 

[Halladay]

Madson here, Roberts is asking for trouble.

Proved me wrong, easy inning for him.

 

[BMOK33]

BTW that Taylor catch should have been a routine out. He just took the wrong route to the ball which made it 100 times better looking than it was

 

[Tecumseh]

Madson going another inning? Don’t push your luck, Roberts. Bring in Baez or Floro

 

[Halladay]

Jansen is up, I like it.

 

[NJDevs26]

The corpse of Ryan Madson is really gonna shut down the Brewers for two innings? Man the Puig HR really did suck the life out of them.

 

[Halladay]

Bring in Jansen.

 

[AveryQuietMan]

haha

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Pretty much last call for MIL with the top of the order.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

...and they go down weakly.

Sometimes a big HR can ignite or deflate a team.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Kershaw time.

 

[Halladay]

Not sure I like Kershaw here in the 9th. Would have used him instead of Urias.

So far so easy.

This has been an awful postseason for baseball other than getting a big market World Series. None of the first-round series went the distance and the ALCS was over in 5...this series ends with a dud Game 7 like last year's WS after a great first six and will probably be remembered more for the Machado nonsense than anything else.

[Say Hey Kid]

I can't believe I bet right on both LCS.

If the WS goes 7 games. I'm gonna assume you're all in your Halloween costumes for game 7.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

2 old franchises in the WS. I love it.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

From 10 games under .500 in May to NL Champs. Congrats to the Dodgers.

Hats off to the Brew Crew for a hell of a season.

 

[Halladay]

The Brewers need to develop starters.

To use a hockey analogy, the Brewers were the 1989 Penguins- you gotta lose before you can win.

Not everyone can go from 0 to 100- even the Royals dealt with game 7 heartbreak a year prior to winning it all.

The Royals probably played worse in the 2015 World Series than they did 2014. They basically had 5 good innings and it was enough to win the series. I thought that Yost cost them the 2014 series with some bad moves

 

[BMOK33]

The good news if you’re LA is even if you lose the back to back World Series you can’t possibly lose it as bad as the 2011 Rangers

It would feel just as bad. I was alive in 1988 even though I have no memory of it. Been waiting for a championship for a long time.

All year long, it seemed like everyone was burying the Dodgers.

They simply were the team that refused to go away. Many tried to throw dirt on them, but they kept rising up.

And a team that has been here before.... when you haven't been here before ala Milwaukee, experience matters.
