How about spin?
|
Spin rate of the dodgers pitchers are not as good as Boston, that's why they're down 2-0.
Dodgers will have their best shot in game 3 with buehler...his stuff can at least miss a few bats and they're going against porcello....who's a righty that pitches down in the zone so maybe la hitters can utilize their famous launch angle. Dodgers stadium and warm weather are also plusses. |
Dodgers are probably spinning towards winter vacation.
(upon further reflection, I realize both teams will start winter vacation at the same time. So I use the term as a metaphor for losing the series). |

BTW Kershaw regular season ERA 2.39. Post season 4.28. |
Nice to see how well that launch angle is working in extra innings. I bet the pop outs are going higher as a result.
|
Anyone awake and still watching game 3?
They're almost at the end of the second game of the doubleheader. |
Dodgers win. I am old enough to remember Kirk Gibson.
We have a series. Goodnight folks... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |
I was long asleep. When did it end, around 2:30 east coast?

My EARLY exit velocity (leaving the TV room) led to my launch angle (onto the bed)!

Is it possible to have more adventures on the basebath in one series of plays than Kinsler? Gets picked off but called safe, takes off on the very next pitch on a hit and run, overruns third and just manages to get back very awkwardly, then gets blown away by Bellinger trying to score on a short fly to center. He seemed determined to make an out.
|
A lot happened in the 18 inning game. I sat through the entire thing. Had no clue I had that kind of attention span.
I found it interesting that both teams scored their second runs due to bad throws to 1st base allowing the runner on 2nd to score. Hoping Roberts does not start Kershaw in game 5 and if so, at the first sign of unraveling, that Roberts does not stick with his "ace" and pulls him. Think we have all seen it before where it gets bad pretty fast when Kershaw does not show up. |
Of course he's going to start game 5, why wouldn't he? Or are you thinking Roberts might start him in Game 4 on short rest.

Yes he has had post-season problems but you cannot not start Clayton Kershaw.

Heres all I know
I miss the days of baseball when it wasnt all about pitching and home runs.
And whats the deal with all the gold and silver jewelry around the necks? |
The announcing is just as bad as ever, which means it is truly putrid. I watch the broadcast on mute while streaming WEEI out of Boston for sound. So much better.
And for Pete's sake, how in the world are the Dodgers in the Series and Vin Scully doesn't even get to call an inning? Unless I missed something, which is entirely possible... |
you ride or die with kershaw, the only better option right now is buehler. i don't expect a good outcome with rich hill tonight.
...and if i didn't know better i'd think kinsler is an LA plant, he was determined not to let the dodgers lose if he can help it. edit: dodgers reached out to scully but he wants to stay retired and didn't want to take the spotlight away from the team...always classy. |

Might think I am nuts but I cannot help but wonder if the Dodgers would be better off using several guys for a couple of innings in lieu of a starter. |

Now you're talking like a Brewer. Right On Could Counsell be the managerial savant of the future ??? |
Fascinating stat from last night's game:
The top four spots in the Red Sox batting order went 0-for-28. And that's never happened before in major league history. |

Abysmal managing. That's two straight pitchers in complete command Roberts has yanked. WTF.
|
Raise your hand if you believe that Rich Hill could have pitched a complete game giving up less than 9 runs.

I am rational and objective....but Kenley Jansen was the biggest factor costing the dodgers last year's world series and he's at it again this year. Just some of the most back breaking home runs given up. For all the slack Kershaw gets Kenley has been skating by under the radar, it's such a disappointment. We could've had a series....

I cannot believe Cora is starting Price over Sale. Maybe he is jealous of Roberts' bad moves and wants to catch up. |

This could be kershaw's last start as a dodgers, let's start something and bring it back to Boston. I'm still shell-shocked so not sure if the players will have any fight left.

The best motivation for the Red Sox to win tonight is Tuesday's Boston weather report: 41 degrees after the sun sets.

I assume LA has seen the last of Machado. He was useless in the Series; it seemed he was pressing too hard at the plate trying to hit every pitch out.

The script all year has been Kershaw will opt out, Price won’t. I wonder if anything shifts on those after the past few weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
