I went to 3 games at Dodgers stadium in the NLDS against the Mets in 2015. I had really good seats and the only celebs I saw were also-rans like Mario Lopez and the guy Charles Green from Ballers.

Stars aren't showing up to the wild card game, dude. This is LA.

Garcia is a great story. Almost gave up on baseball. 34. Pitching in the minors. Can’t throw a strike despite 100 mph heat. He puts up two goose eggs against a 106 win team. Well done. Have your moment.

Pujols could potentially be a pinch hitter in the 9th. That could be very interesting.

Nothing dumb about it. The average score in a NL game vs a AL game is like 1 run difference total.

Its going away because of $$ and nothing else.

This game is a perfect example of why the Cards only chance to beat LA would be a 1 game situation. No way they match up for a series.

You think? He looks done. Pujols even only as far back as pre 2020 hits that meat 3-0 pitch to San Bernadino. Tonight, it was a measly fly out to center.

Thanks. I figured Waino would be tough, he's such a great post season pitcher, and I though Scherzer would get up for the moment against his childhood team. Funny enough, as you saw, Scherzer was very mediocre but the Cardinals just couldn't land a knockout punch, so to speak. My bet in the AL WC was not as impressive. lol

WC still relatively new from a historical standpoint. No real way for them to have matched up prior, at least the SF vs LA versions.

They did match up in the American Association World Series in 1889, which the Giants won.

They also played three-game tiebreaker series in 1951 and 1962 (Games 163-65) but they are counted as regular season games.

Anyway, the Giants just don't lose. They will be an extremely tough out and without an at the top of his game Scherzer (and he is not, he got really fortunate last night), I don't see the Dodgers winning this series. Giants in 6

jd1020

10-07-2021 05:51 AM

How was Scherzer fortunate last night? Was it his best performance? No. But the only run he gave up was unearned. He was in less overall trouble than Wainwright. The only reason the Dodgers had to bat in the 9th was because the fastest player in the game swung at ball 4 with the bases loaded and broke his bat while putting the ball in the only location where he could be doubled up.

Why Not?

Look, the Dodgers won the game and that's what matters. I'm looking at it from a totally objective standpoint, I have no dog in the fight. I'm guessing you're a Dodgers fan so surely you're aware of Scherzer's past several starts? My overall point is that if you get that version of Scherzer, I don't think the Dodgers can win a series against the best team in baseball in 2021. Best of luck in the next round.

So being fortunate means that he didn't pitch like an ace? The Cardinals had base runners on first outside the 1st inning when they scored their only run, a bunt by Wainwright for the 2nd out to get Bader to 2nd, and the 5th when Scherzer was taken out after he just struck out O'Neil.

Where is the fortune? The Cardinals had 2 legitimate threats of scoring when Scherzer was on the mound through the 5th and none were nearly as dangerous as when the Dodgers failed to score with the bases loaded and 1 out with Trea Turner at the plate.

The odds of not giving up a run to start any inning is 70%. There was a 70% chance of ending the first only giving up the 1 run. There was a 80% chance of getting out of the 3rd not giving up a run, which is why a lot of managers dont sacrifice bunt any more, why Shildt chose to do that instead of attempt to steal second with Bader I will never know. And once Scherzer struck out O'Neil in the 5th there was a 60% chance of getting out of that inning with 0 runs scored. Arguably the only fortunate moment of the night was getting out of the 5th with 0 runs scored.

My guess is that if you told Scherzer pre game that you were giving him the ball in a win or go home game, and he was going to give you 4 1/3 without a single clean inning, but you were gonna win the game anyway, he would immediately start thanking his teammates.

Anyway, as I said, the W is all that matters. On to the next round. We'll see how it plays out.
