Another inning for degrom?

 

[timetokill]

I see the Dodgers are giving Kershaw his traditional amount of run support.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Another inning for degrom?

100 pitches... I dunno.

Dont want to over extend his strong start.

Go to Ty for 2 and then to familia.

 

[JDeluis]

A-Gon pls.

For all of Kershaw's postseason demons, AGon carrying a few himself..batted .188 last Oct, K'd twice with runners on base tonight

.

I see the Dodgers are giving Kershaw his traditional amount of run support.

And everybody will just blame Kershaw unfortunately.

 

[Jack Remington]

We are going to lose this Kershaw start 1-0 aren't we?

 

[zroid]

this postseason is as good a case as I've seen for robo umps

 

[richiek]

Another inning for degrom?

I think so, then Familia closes it in the 9th.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

May be the worst called strike I've ever seen.

State of the MLB ump is dire if tonight is any indication.

 

[timetokill]

We are going to lose this Kershaw start 1-0 aren't we?

my guess is 2-0.
but yes.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I miss SNY ultra arrogant Ron Darling.

 

[Rock And Roll]

If the Jays fans earlier thought the strike zone was ridiculous, they should get a load of Alan Porter's shoelace strike tonight.

 

[Corran Horn]

We are going to lose this Kershaw start 1-0 aren't we?

7th inning, Kershaw gonna give up some runs right now

And there's 11 for deGrom. We're now witnessing the first postseason game in MLB history in which both starters had 11+ strikeouts.

That can't be right.

 

[Frozenprince]

If anybody says the Dodgers losing this game is Kershaw's fault they should never talk about baseball again.

Kershaw has been superb.

 

[lazybones18]

Bring in a run deGrom

 

[GnawtyDog]

And everybody will just blame Kershaw unfortunately.

We gonna act like he hasn't blown away games? And series for that matter?....

For such a lauded pitcher, he is extremely average in the post-season. Numbers back that up.

 

[timetokill]

This is the part where Kershaw tries to do too much because his team hasn't given him shit for support.

 

[Loco4Coco]

A Mets pitcher places a perfect bunt?!

 

[Frozenprince]

I really don't have time to lecture you on how SSS in the playoffs means absolutely nothing.

So I'll just say you're entirely wrong and leave it at that.

Numbers don't back jack crap up. His numbers in the post-season are consistent with his regular season numbers. If you only look at ERA you're doing it wrong.

 

[Branduil]

Bunting with one out...

 

[Corran Horn]

Bunting with one out...

Its like watching the Royals last year

 

[Frozenprince]

Bunting with one out...

You really expect a pitcher to hit Kershaw?

Especially how he's pitched tonight?

 

[timetokill]

Fuuuuck this ump

You really expect a pitcher to hit Kershaw?

Especially how he's pitched tonight?

But he's so average!

 

[lazybones18]

load them up for the Captain

 

[CygnusXS]

You really expect a pitcher to hit Kershaw?

Conforto probably should have batted there.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Love Curtis' plate discipline.

 

[Malo]

Take him out.

 

[zroid]

welp

 

[Corran Horn]

Lets do it Captain!

 

[Frozenprince]

A good manager goes out, says "Clayton you've done everything we've asked you to do and we've let you down, but I need to take you out so we can use you if we need you in game four" and puts the pen out.

Donnie well.

 

[Branduil]

You really expect a pitcher to hit Kershaw?

Especially how he's pitched tonight?

Well, if you don't expect to get a hit then you definitely shouldn't be bunting with one out.

 

[NomarTyme]

How can you take out clayton? Fucking eh

 

[timetokill]

Should've let him finish the inning.

 

[grandjedi6]

Changing pitchers with bases loaded? Ehhhhh

 

[Rock And Roll]

If anybody says the Dodgers losing this game is Kershaw's fault they should never talk about baseball again.

Kershaw has been superb.

As much as I wanted a Kershaw implosion tonight, I really did believe he'd have a good game. Wright can get a hit here and I still say Kershaw was phenomenal tonight.

 

[JDeluis]

Should've let him finish the inning.

So that it can be a repeat of last year.

 

[Frozenprince]

I never want to hear someone say Kershaw can't pitch in the playoffs again.

Nobody could have watched that game and reasonably assumed that.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Well here it goes.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Progress...Donnie left him in for the 7th inning - Kershaw's achilles heel inning but at least Donnie took him out instead of allowing the game to blow up, like in previous games. The problem is he brings heat, the type that gave up runs in the same situation last time around.

 

[Corran Horn]

So that it can be a repeat of last year.

Eh he can get 3 more runs on his ledger soon enough

 

[DoktorEvil]

It's not his fault. He pitched masterfully.

But the Dodgers had to face deGrom sometime and he's doing well for his first postseason start.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Fire Donny for starting Crawful

 

[DoktorEvil]

Grand Slam please.

76% fastball? Crush that shit.

 

[timetokill]

When I said 2-0, I thought Kershaw would finish the inning.

I'll say 5-0 now.

 

[M.W.]

Walk incoming...

 

[Frozenprince]

There isn't a better eye in baseball than the Captain.

 

[criesofthepast]

3-0

 

[Loco4Coco]

Wright!!!!!

 

[NomarTyme]

Fuck you donny.

 

[lazybones18]

YES
