You can do it Kenley! I believe!
Someone in here will just say he should be out anyway. Smh.

Time to drive a stake through the heart of the Dodger faithful with some more devil magic.
luckily, we managed to split the first 2 games

But we got replay now!!
I've noticed Hanley does this all the time and gets away with it. It's not a big deal to the umps.

Is Holliday up next? He would scare the shit out of me here.

May the Schwartz be with you
Not replayable lol

I know. Just need more run cushion. One run lead ain't nothing against these guys

It's mostly done for the safety of the fielder since runners go in hard with take out slides
This inning is set up perfectly for some Descalso devil magic

Good game. Just too bad the blown call in the third may have been the difference

Dang. Good game.
Hope those ABs will help Wong/Grichuk if they ever face Jensen again this series.

At a wedding tonight and didn't follow the game. Looked like a close one though. I'm happy to see what appears to be a competitive series unfolding.

Which call was that? Unless you mean the double play that wasn't meant to be?

Man Dodger fans are a lot meaner and confrontational in real life. Also it is really hard to find your car in the stadium parking lot.
As a giant fan I can tell you dodger fans are more unruly than raider fans.

I've never seen it. Maybe it's because I usually sit in the first level when I go. Also how can you not find your car? Each section has a number given to it.

I feel bad for the Nats. I'm tired of seeing these stupid Giants every year. Give some other teams a chance.

Fuck Donny for pulling Greinke, but thank god the Dodgers won. The last couple days have been brutal in the most cosmically bizarre way.
Fixed that for you

What is this, wrestling? SF's getting shit for not putting other teams over?

There were probably a couple thousand cars in my section

So you're admitting you don't pay attention to the postseason every year then?

But when the Cards win the pennant after sweeping SF and meet LAA in the World Series, the media can bill it as Trout vs. Carp!

So drunk...had a few drinks too many celebrating after the 18-inning win.
Here's a gif of Belt saying 'F it, it's the 18th i'm doing a bat flip':

Unless maybe,
If the ump hadn't incorrectly called Greinke out, it's probably a double play anyway because he wasn't anywhere near 2nd base and had actually run out of the baseline. But because Adams thought Greinke was out, he didn't throw. And because Greinke was going back to the dugout right after he thought he was tagged, we don't know for sure if he would have made it to second (probably not, though).
It's a definite flaw with instant replay. The call that was made was probably for the best given the extreme ambiguity with plays like this. It seemed like a bad application of a rule to me, but that's baseball
Makes me wonder if players will just be taught to complete plays regardless of what the umpires do. You kind of already see that with some like plays at the plate or a runner running past 3rd because the third out could be overturned. Will definitely be confusing if it happens
