Going down the checklist
Last night I noted what the Dodgers might need to do to win a game five. How did they do?
Corey Seager to get a hit outside of the 1st inning – negatory
Rich Hill to get fifteen outs and a lead – negatory
Yaz Grandal to not leave the bases loaded – another bad game
Adrian Gonzalez to continue on the hot streak he started Wednesday – negatory
Turner to continue to break postseason records – Booming game-deciding triple
Trea Turner to never reach base – only once in five at-bat, and did not score
Daniel Murphy to stop tormenting the Dodgers – it took Kershaw but it worked
Werth to remember he’s an old shaggy dog left fielder – he was still a bit of a thorn but he did get thrown out at home in an important play of the game
Josh Reddick to not make Dodger fans wish Puig was starting – I think we all felt Puig would have thrown out the Nationals first run of the game
Toles a chance to use his speed – he did get to the ball faster than the 3rd base coach expected and his relay to Seager was a big part of why Werth was dead meat at home
The bullpen to continue to do what they do – it was not conventional and there was one hiccup but all in all, THEY KICKED ASS
Joc to connect = BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Dodgers, Yesterday and Today 
Last night on the TBLA game thread chat I did have one cool moment.
As Joc was swinging I posted this
After Joc hits his solo home run do you let Urias hit?

By the time the post appeared, the home run was on the way. Woo hoo

Just before Turner’s triple I was going to post “Balls to the walls” , just because of the way the Dodgers had been playing .
