Frank jinxed them by attending. But he got to see a hell of a game.

[Griffins]

I"m ready to send Frank my tickets to todays game if he's truly a jinx!
Won't be sad to see Machado leave town though, and get Seagar back next year. That play was bush league. Several of them were actually.

It would be great to see some offense by the Dodgers. They did it during the year against the Brewers. It was a great game but not sure if that was great pitching or a result of the Dodgers' bats being quiet.

Agree about Machado...too bad. There is a lot riding on Kershaw today.

didn't feel good about kershaw going into game 1, but feeling better about today's start. his stuff has really gone down this year, not sure if it's the injuries or just age. he's still getting used to the art of pitching to (soft) contact. some days he looks like maddux but other days it could be estaban loaiza.

watching both series it feels like the nl is the JV to the AL. don't think either team here has a chance against bos or houston. i love analytics, but dodgers is just making a mockery of it with the lineup shuffles, positioning, pitching matchups, launch angles/exit velocities. they don't want ground balls so they try to uppercut everything or ends up striking out. the small edges is great when it works out for your team, but i wouldn't call it a pleasant fan experience watching 5 hours of that.

edit: i loved the manny trade when it happened but yea i'll be glad to get seager back next year...unlike manny 1.0 this manny just doesn't feel like one of "us". good thing we got ss and 3b locked up so the fo won't have to think about bringing machado back next year.

Seager may not be all back next year for awhile or ever..you just never know..


i wonder how much money is being paid to dodger pitchers this year versus brewer pitchers in this playoff series.for yearly salary...could dodgers be paying 50 million more?
