GDT: 2019 NLDS: (1) Los Angeles Dodgers vs (WC1) Washington Nationals - WSH wins 3-2

[These Are The Days]

I told anyone who would listen to me at work that if the LAD shit the bed BAD there could be a chance Roberts gets fired and Maddon replaces him. Doesn't feel so crazy now

 

[Cochese]

Or leaving Dodger Stadium after a playoff game. It took me four hours once just to get onto the freeway.

Getting out of that stadium is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Theeeeeseee worst. I don’t blame them.

 

[BMOK33]

The last 48 hours has been bad if you’re a Yankees fan. The Astros rotation lines up so that its Cole in 3-7 and Verlander in 6 and now the only NL team that probably could beat them in a series is likely going to the World Series

 

[GKJ]

Was that the first time there’s ever been a grand slam in extra innings of a deciding game?

So firing Roberts to hire another Roberts?

Went to game 1 during the World Series against Houston and it took us 3 hours to get out of the parking lot.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Kershaw ever come thru for Dodgers in playoffs? The anti- MadBum. Maybe the Dodgers should sign him.

Kershaw just doesn't win when it matters.

I get triggered if it takes me 20 minutes to leave Miller Park.

Better then leaving Kelly in there. That was inevitable.

mop up duty to preserve everyone for game 6

Here and there. He did win game 4 at Citi field in 2015 in a must win but he wasn’t very good and the Mets probably helped him out somewhat.

Huh? Yanks would much prefer Grienke and Verlander in Houston. Increases their odds of getting st least one on the road. This assumes Houston even wins tomorrow.

Dodgers out means they would have home field in a potential WS.

Now that I've calmed down a bit. He's actually had some great post season games. The problem is he's had a lot of bad ones and always at the absolute worst moments like tonight. if Roberts didn't send him back out in the 8th, people would he did great getting the out they needed with runners on. Instead, he's the MVP for the Nats.

There's really just no excuse to put Kelly out there for a 2nd inning or letting him face as many batters as he did that inning.

It's a do-or-die game. You have to empty out the clip. It's like Roberts was managing the game like it was going 18 innings. They even still had May and Urias, who are both capable of going multiple innings, if need be.

I see. Tough for him.....thats gotta feel like shit. If im him id sign elsewhere and just try to get that monkey off back.

Unfortunately baseball is the only sport where doing something that crazy will work. We can say anything about Maddon we want but the crazy SOB wins.

No, but that's Dave Roberts managing. How he got to the World Series two years in a row blows my mind.

I think they’d have rather gotten Kershaw Ryu though than Scherzer Strasburg Corbin. The Nats would have a legit shot vs Houston too. I didn’t feel any other NL team would have

I believe so.

 

[EpochLink]

Another wasted season by the Dodgers.
This time in the NLDS.

Who's ready for the Nationals/Cardinals NLCS.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Sitting in some Houston hotel room, Kevin Cash was watching Kolarek sit on the bench, and he just laaaaughed and laaaaaughed.

 

[JWK]

Big fan of Pollock, Bellinger and Seager in this series.

Yeah his good games over shadowed by the bad. We see the MadBums, Wainwrights, etc just dominate when they are due up.....and expect it from every terms ace. Kershaw has been one of the best over the years...

But playoff results...

Then again the bats havent helped him either. Bellinger this series. Previous years top bats not coming thru.

 

[Del Preston]

I want to see Roberts' presser after the game.

 

[BMOK33]

Home teams are 11-20 in game 5s. What the hell is that
