Jesus Murphy, Pete Rose. What the fuck is around your bulbous waist? Please stay behind the desk.

In a parallel universe where he has some sense of humility, he got fat from years of eating crow.

Game 5 prediction:
Cubs 6-2
Bryant, Russell, Ross each with RBIs and multiple hits.

Bryant. 2 hits, 1 RBI
Russell. 2 hits, 2 RBI
Ross. 1 hit. 0 RBI.

I think I did pretty good, no?

"the tying run is 4 batters away"

Bryant. 2 hits, 1 RBI
Russell. 2 hits, 2 RBI
Ross. 1 hit. 0 RBI.

Let me guess... you're just gonna leave this right here?

You can check my post history. Rondon is my favorite closer.

I don't like bringing your closer in up 6. Yeah I know he hasn't pitched but I'd rather have him with 4 days off than 1 day off coming off of giving up a few runs. Closers just don't pitch the same when they don't have a save on the line

The last time the Dodgers lost 8-4 to the Cubs in the NLCS was 2016, and the Dodgers went on to win the next 2 games that year.

Rose just mentioned that teams that win game 5 to go up 3-2 win the series 70% of the time. That can't be right. That is less than a coin flip chance (75%).

Think critically about the 2-3-2 playoff format keeping your statement in mind and connect the dots.

Any idea what Contreras and the ump were talking about after the game?

Complete game shut out or Dodgers lose on Saturday.

Aggy math?

Sounds about right. Need a repeat of game 2 basically. Kershaw for 7 or 8 then Jansen to close out the game

 

[rmilia1]

Last night really didn't make much sense imo. Roberts pulling Maeda in a 1 run game with the pitcher do up was a real weird move. If he had so little confidence in Maeda why even bother starting him? Dude was pitching fine and your BP hot lit up the day before

The Dodgers formula for winning is basically

Game 6: Kershaw for 8, Jansen for 1 (unless it's a blowout).

Game 7: Hill for 5, Wood for 2, Jansen for 2+

Lester now owns a 2.50 ERA in 119 postseason innings.

I wish the Red Sox could find a starter like him....

I wish they could draft a 1B like Jeff Bagwell or Anthony Rizzo.
