I just realized 10 of the 14 hits tonight came from our righties...this might be the year fam! In a seriousness note, this win is huge despite what the team is going through. Another double digit K night (15) yet they find a way, hopefully they’re patient with Scherzer and close this thing out tomorrow.
Throwing on a flame suit because I know there's games left this season, and hopefully a World Series championship at the end, but I'm already thinking about potential deals in the off season. Would y'all trade two years of Seager for one year of Mookie? An outfield of Belli and Betts would be crazy and you can insert Lux at SS.
"As far as Seager goes, I remain perplexed. Three years ago, when he won Rookie of the Year and finished third in MVP voting, I marveled about him to a veteran NL West pitcher who had just faced him, and he shocked me by saying Seager was the easiest hitter in the Dodgers lineup to face. He went on to say that Seager almost always swings at first pitches, so there’s no reason to throw him a strike there. He then told me the Dodgers shortstop can’t lay off sliders in the dirt and basically only hits mistakes. This guy was not a Dodger hater. He characterized pitching to Joc Pederson, Enrique Hernandez and Justin Turner as a nightmare."
Take care of business tonight. Work Scherzers pitch count early and get to that bullpen within striking distance.
Ticket prices to game 1 of the NLCS dropped after they lost Friday and dropped even more after they fell behind 2-0 last night so I pounced once they took the lead.
They’ve won the last 15 games or so I’ve been to dating back to last season, regular season, playoffs and World Series.
