Joc Pederson's 3-run blast is all the offense the Braves needed today.

Weren't we supposed to get him, but something happened?

man, this guy sure has plenty of power in october. 

wish he was playing here.

Well, the rest of the year his stats aren't all that great...

Watching some excellent defence in the Braves - Brewers game. I hope the Angels' defensive coaches are taking notes. Lots of notes.

Notes....

"Field better."

Is that the kind of notes?  I mean, what kind of notes would they take?

Weird seeing two ex-Angels pitching in the Brewers/Braves game, both of whom I had almost forgotten even pitched for the Angels, Hunter Strickland and Jesse Chavez.

I somewhat remember both being dogshit awful, and both are in the post season.

And ex-Angel Joc Peterson hits a 3 run homer to give Atlanta the lead.

This idiot posted this in the AL thread thinking the Brewers were still in the American League.

What a dipshit.

It wouldn't matter. We don't play in October.

PattyD1961 is your new name.

If the arb tracker is accurate, the Brewers will be paying a combined $14m next year for both Cy Young contender Corbin Burnes (1.63 FIP; 2.43 ERA; .199 AVG; 12.61 K/9; 234 K's; 167 IP; 7.5 fWAR) and elite closer Josh Hader (1.69 FIP; 1.23 ERA; .126 AVG; 15.65 K/9; 58.2 IP; 2.6 fWAR). Fourteen million total for the pair: this is what the Angels need to find and develop.

Giants are up 1-0 thru six innings.

Dodgers have only 3 hits, two by Pujols and one by Justin Turner.

[Angel Oracle]

Entire offense in Latrineville tonight is courtesy of Evan Longoria.

The playoffs really showcase the importance of fielding. Especially factoring in sketchy weather conditions in some places.  Inner diamond defense, positioning, outfield jump and accuracy in hitting cut off men and/or throwing directly to the fielder. Hitters will hit and pitchers will pitch, but fielding is a key component often overlooked. 

Pederson and Kike Rodriguez drive in winning runs while the Dodgers are shut out. Delicious irony. One loss away from both of last season's finalists eliminated before the LCS. But Pujols inflates his stats.

Giants have won 13 games in which Alex Wood has started after a loss.

This is Scherzer's first loss in 13 starts with the Dodgers this year.

I think I heard that correctly.

[T.G.]

Evan Longoria...

THANK YOU!

That graphic they showed re: the difference in release point between Wood and submariner Tyler Rodgers was wild.  What a change of pace and brought in at the perfect time.

Daytime is relative to several other factors.

You didn’t.  He has started 7 games for the Dodgers and won all 7.  He only had 1 loss at Dodger Stadium, and that came when he was with the Nationals.
