haterrrrr identified! stick that thumb where the sun don't shine and you can be enjoying this like the rest of us

You must not know my posting here. I'm being facetious and it's a dig at my Florida friends.

Unreal! I can't believe it. This year is so strange it really does feel like a dream to have a Dodgers Championship!

Urias was absolutely guts there at the end, my god. Every one of those Rays was completely flabbergasted by him.

I think everyone was happy not to see Jensen in the 9th. Roberts didn't overthink the game for a change.

Shortened season or not, the Dodgers were clearly the best team this year. So happy for the guys, especially Kershaw. Couldn't happen to a better guy. And happy for Roberts too. After all the shit he's taken, some of it very much derserved, he still got it done.

Buehler/Urias is going to be one hell of a duo for the next few years.

I believe May and Gonsolin are going to be very good too. They're rookies and maybe the stage was too big for them, but they had great numbers during the regular season with a much larger sample size. Their control the whole playoffs was much wilder than normal. Way more walks than usual. Hopefully next playoffs they're multi-inning starters with more defined roles. I have faith in them. Once they started calling pitches for May to not get cute with breaking stuff and just throw his high movement heat, they couldn't hit him. Will Smith has a lot of potential at catcher, but he doesn't call a game anywhere close to Barnes. He made some bad decisions on pitches called, but he's also young and I think he'll improve in that regard as well. Anyway, future is looking incredibly bright.

Hoping one of the Dodgers let’s out a, “hey Houston, f*** you!” in the post celebration interviews.

I saw a guy in the market yesterday wearing a Houston hat.

I almost got in his face. I don't think I've EVER seen an astros hat in SoCal

I used to wear one......but that was back when Roy Oswalt was my favorite pitcher.

And Gonsolin has great taste in shirts

LMFAO... I just keep thinking this guy is riding around in a creepy van

Clayton Kershaw is a World Seires Champion!

Clayton Kershaw is a World Seires Champion!

And he pitched great in the World Series! So it's not like they dragged his corpse to a ring. He helped earn it. Probably happy about that the most. 33% strikeout rate in both of his starts. Basically pulled a Koufax. Great stuff.

Exactly. Now, Kenley...

He did have some great outings in the playoffs where he looked like his old self, but I'm glad Roberts stayed with the hot hand in Urias.

I wish the media would quit talking about Turner and Covid.

Dustin May's stuff is filthy. He showed what he had in Game 5 after they fixed a couple of things. The way his ball moves at 100+ is rare. They Dodgers have a legit 1-2-3.

I think Smith is what he is which is a good but not great player. Ruiz has a massive ceiling and once he gets acclimated, I think he jumps Smith. The best of the bunch could be Cartaya who is ridiculously good but is just 18.

Graterol seems to be the future at Closer once he gets a bit more dialed in. His stuff can still be barreled when he doesn't hit his spots or it comes in flat. There have been some rumors that the Dodgers may make a play for Liam Hendriks. I don't see it though. It doesn't fit Friedman's gameplan. I could see them fixing the middle of their pen rather than go big money on a closer since Closers break a lot. I think Treinen will get a bigger deal somewhere else after proving himself this year.

Fear porn is too lucrative. Also the league is investigating him now.

Watch him and the Dodgers get a stiffer penalty than what the Houston Astros received for cheating.

 

[kingsholygrail]

I got the hat, the shirt, and a game ball.

Watch him and the Dodgers get a stiffer penalty than what the Houston Astros received for cheating.

With the way fans booed him, he might just do that. lol

The organization was penalized, but the players got off scott free.

why was Oswalt your favorite pitcher?

neighbor, classmate, etc.???

Is it just me, or could Gonsolin be Ron Jeremy's kid?
