Man, you really gotta think Robert won’t survive a game like this. What a tough job he has but man, did his moves really not pay off tonight.

[Angelsjunky]

No pressure, Doolittle.

Also a classic example of why you always pitch your closer in the 9th, especially on the road. What's the point of saving your closer if you already lost?

Ask future angels manager Buck Showalter

Dodgers pinch hit a guy who has gone 0-12 with 10 Ks in the postseason.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

This. Is. Wonderful.

He shouldn't. He stood there watching the game spin out of control and did not a damn thing. It is an elimination game and h e pkayed it like he was saving the bullpen for the next series. 

[Angelsjunky]

0-13, 11 Ks. That's Troutian.

No way Roberts survives this right?

[Chuck]

THIS IS OUR WORLD SERIES!! lol

Way to go Howie. I was sure you were going to GIDP in that spot. Happy for you and the Nats!

Seriously I’ve enjoyed baseball more tonight then I did at basically any point during the Angels miserable season.

He’s going to get Ausmus’d.

One of the Dodgers' worst all-time losses.

Roberts is on shaky ground, I would think.

[Duren, Duren]

Worst of all possible  worlds for the Dodgers. The entire 2019 season will seem hollow in retrospect. Next year will seem an eternity just trying yet again to get back to where they have been. With even a great season they will be haunted by past failures. 

Will Kershaw ever have another chance at playoff redemption? His career reputation will always be tainted. Do they make radical personnel moves? How are the young players going to deal with these yearly playoff disasters? 

Their window is still open because of their talent and division, but internal stress is an intangible that will affect the entire organization. 

Should be a fun storyline to follow.

Harper on pace to live up to his promise of bringing a World Series championship to Washington

[Claude]

Congratulations Expos!

Dodger fans:

[Angelsjunky]

The look on Taylor's face was funny. "Uh, I caught it, guys."

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Look at the fan's faces. Ha, I love it. 

[fan_since79]

One prediction is safe. Dodgers will blow up their bullpen.

Shaky? The ground has completely fallen out underneath him. Some of the worst managing I think I've ever seen.

"fuck u, motherfucker. I'm turning off my phone. dick."

Nope he's toast. Bringing in Kershaw was bad enough but then just leaving Kelly in to blow the game with Jansen waiting in the bullpen.

[Jay]

I didn't think Roberts would survive last year but he did.
