I jinxed the Dodgers! If only I had used this power sooner.

If only you had used your powers for niceness.

I hate the idea that a team with 107 wins on the season decides to go with a bullpen game in game one of a series, and it almost worked. Baseball has to look at giving one or zero days off within a series.

Pathetic baserunning.

With base-running prowess like he showed last night, it’s a sure fire deal that Chris Taylor will sign a free agent contract with the halos next year. Call your bookie.

Dodgers computers say not to start Justin Turner against Ian Anderson?  Or is he hurt?  I fully understand that they have the best analytical department in the league, but not starting Justin Turner in favor of Gavin Lux is almost as silly as starting Pujols over Bellinger.

That makes more sense.

I dunno who to root against in the ALCS, because I fucking hate both teams.  Boston is fucking annoying because of their fans and they knocked the Angels out multiple times in the playoffs, but Houston is fucking Houston and fuck Houston.   

[jsnpritchett]

Pederson.  Lol.

How does giving one or zero games off prevent bullpen games?

I'm a bit like this, but I've noticed over the past couple of games that my sports-hate for the cheating astros runs just that bit deeper than my sports-hate for the cheating red sox, and that I've also developed an intense dislike of the poison dwarf altuve. Only silver lining is that each night at least one of them will lose.

They posted theirs later.  I swapped it out now.

Dodgers aren't messing around tonight.  2-run HR from Seager after a bloop single from Betts.

Braves are already in deep shit

[beatlesrule]

Dodgers are getting guys on base but don't have anything to show for it other than the 2 run homer. Scherzer is dealing though so 2 runs might be enough to win.

[beatlesrule]

Freddie Freeman has looked lost at the plate ever since he had that game/series winning home run against the Brewers. 6 K's in a row now.

Jesse Chavez with the shutdown, 6-pitch inning.  Was not expecting that.
