Chavez Ravine gets her closeup
In the grand history of the greatest stadium in baseball history she has never hosted a game seven World Series, but tomorrow she will and the place will be going crazy. I fully expected the Dodgers to win tonight and they did not disappoint. I fully expect Tuesday night to be a 3 – 1 …
We can do it
Eric Stephen penned a pretty depressing historical note on the Dodgers chances to win the World Series. Needing to win both games at home presents a tall task for the Dodgers. In their franchise history, they have trailed a best-of-7 series 3-2 eight times. They forced a Game 7 twice, but lost all eight series. Ignoring …
Throw it out the window
I’d have bet on most of these outcomes becoming true. Dodgers strike early and take a four-run lead in route to winning game five ……throw it out the window Clayton Kershaw staked to a four-run lead cruises to another postseason victory …..throw it out the window Cody Bellinger breaks four / four tie with a three-run blast …
Halloween Horror in Houston
Halloween came early for the Dodgers on Sunday night in Houston with the first five Astro hitters scaring the bejeesus out of the Dodger pitching staff. Not since a game at Coors was I so scared of a group of hitters as I was last night. For three innings it felt safe. Clayton Kershaw had a …
What was that?
As a Dodger fan that was a cruel ending, as a baseball fan I’m pretty sure I just finished watching the most exciting World Series game I’ve ever seen. If you want to read a recap that can bring justice to that game you came to the wrong place. I’d try Joe Posnanski HOUSTON — …
So that is how it feels
when your bullpen lets you down again and again. Hinch is being crucified for going to his closer Ken Giles yesterday and watching him implode once again. Dodger fans are quite used to watching the bullpen pieces that you watched be successful all season falter in October so we can empathize with Houston fans while …
That was unexpected
Not that the Dodgers won but that Alex Wood kept the right-leaning Astro lineup to zero hits for 17 outs. Nineteen left-hand pitchers have started at MinuteMaid this season: Rk Player Date Rslt IP H ER BB SO GSc IR 1 Patrick Corbin 2017-08-17 W 4-0 8.2 4 0 1 7 82 2 James Paxton …
Bullpen can’t make up for dump by Yu
There is no way to spin this well for Yu Darvish. He took a dump in Houston and it was such a big dump that he may take the Dodger World Series hopes down the toilet with it. It is one thing to lose a game, but when you can’t get six outs in the …
Dodgers pin hopes on Yu
Unlike Kershaw and Rich Hill, Yu Darvish has faced the current Houston roster quite a bit since they played in the same division while Yu was playing for the Rangers. Name PA H 2B HR BA OBP SLG OPS Jose Altuve 38 7 2 0 .219 .342 .281 .623 George Springer 18 6 0 2 …
A few of my favorite things from Game 2
