Official 2018 Los Angeles Dodgers Thread : Game 4

[ooiron manoo]

High risk, high reward move imo.

Win and you got Grienke and Kershaw 5 and 6 and both had quality starts in 1 and 2. The bars just didn't produce c

Lose and you got those 2 guys pitching still which make the game 5 and if necessary 6 chances much better

If they can get the win tomorrow this series would have the pitching matchups favoring the dodgers for 5 and 6. Perhaps the cards panic and go with wainwright on short rest Friday if they go back to St. Louis down 3-2. Anyhow can't wait to game time tonight.

That free parking if you carpool deal is solid.

After Game 1, 2 and 3 I can not care less about pitching matchups.

Favorable this, favorable that, it doesn't matter at this point. This is probably the only game where the matchup isn't in anyone's favor if the Dodgers stick to Nolasco against Lynn.

I want to say home field matters, I want to say pitching matters, but this series has been a total anomaly. Confidence was high with Greinke and Kershaw going in GM's 1 and 2, they pitched gems and lost. Confidence was low for Ryu vs Wainwright and Ryu pitches a gem, Wainwright loses, Jon Jay basically wins us the game with his awful OF play and here we are.

You can toss the script out and just see what happens. The Cards don't panic, and they have faith in their rotation, especially Wainwright and Wacha.

Puig pissed of some people with his celebration last night
He might get beaned tonight

They need to stop crying as if wacha wasn't celebrating and showing emotion after getting key strike outs in game 2 and rightfully so. Granted down 0-2 in a series puig should chill with the theatrics but beaning someone over flipping a bat is dumb to me. Oh well hopefully its 2-2 after tonight

'88 WS Gm1 on ESPN Classic right now. Some added excitement for tonight's game.

Go Blue!

Whoever wins today is winning the series

 

[jcs11702]

The only reason i don't think Puig will get beaned is because of the Hanley injury caused by Kelly. IF Puig does get beaned, Carlos Beltran better put on his lucky helmet because Nolasco will go head hunting.

sigo siendo eellllll reeeyyyyy today

left field pavilion is gunna get rowdy lmao

 

[Los Angeles]

I got my money on pretty ricky today!

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Had a great time at the Ravine last night. Crowd was turnt all the way up.

RYU's redemption.

We need to stay aggressive from the pitching to the hitting and we will dead the birdz..

 

[vindeezy]

My God, ricky.....take the bat off your shoulder....

 

[vindeezy]

Smdh.

 

[laker4lifeman]

Nice knowing Ricky

 

[denni5themenace]

bats gotta come alive

 

[vindeezy]

At least the top is coming up. Ricky had a chance to help himself and didnt swing at anything. I doubt that was the specific instruction. Then he implodes. Get a couple back here, boys.

 

[vindeezy]

So much for that. CC getting jammed 2-0...way to work the count...and hanram looks like a player whos fighting it. Gotta hold em down and chip away.

 

[vindeezy]

Keep it goin!

 

[laker4lifeman]

Come on Skip get revenge

 

[vindeezy]

Already pulling nolasco huh...I hope this doesnt mean volquez

 

[vindeezy]

#%×÷..my God our bench blows

 

[laker4lifeman]

They need to give Van Slyke a chance.

 

[vindeezy]

Might as well have fn bunted.

 

[denni5themenace]

skip HAS to be leading this team in hitting into double plays. **** man.

 

[jcs11702]

I've seen Little League teams with better pinch hitting than these Dodgers. Whether its Michael Young or Skip, they always amount to nothing. Time to let Van Slyke take a swing.

 

[vindeezy]

Its putrid. From mark sweeney, to 39 ur old GA...to adam kennedy..jamie Carroll. ..aaron miles...etc...the bench has been weak for yrs.....

oh where are ronnie belliard..olmedo saenz..marlon anderson...even dave hansen.

 

[jcs11702]

It's gonna be a long night for the bullpen tonight. God I hope we don't see Marmol or Volquez.

 

[lpheat22]

Dave Hansen was that dude when it came to pinch hitting
