Dodger Talk

Man both teams worry me but from my personal opinion we already beat the 2nd best team in the NL in the DBacks. The Cubs and Nats are dangerous as hell that is for sure but if I had my pick of who i'd like to face in NL from easiest to toughest I would have gone Col, Cubs, Nats and DBacks. All the teams in NL could get hot and put a spanking on either team but matching up yea give me the cubs next.

 

I hadn't been following the news too close whats going on with Seager besides being in a bit of slump again?

The cubs are dangerous for sure but like you said there pitching isn't anything like the Nats have going over there. We have two big keys IMO the bottom of the lineup has to manufacture some runs guys like Grandal, Granderson, Joc (if he gets time) and even Either need to come up with a big hit or two. The other and more important thing is we need to survive the 7th inning especially with Kershaw pitching. That inning seems to be our WTF inning these last few years.

Cubs are coming in on a serious high because they came back from 2 games down. we win the first two games they won't be fazed by it even if we dominate. Like our boys said, we have to stay pushing and not taking anything for granted

 

They were 2-1 up this yeear, never was 2 games down. Unless if you're talking about what happened last year with the World Series.

Like Real said, they're tired. If we can get to Lackey/Quintana early, they will give up on Game 1 because they completely used up their bullpen yesterday.

@real I think Doc has to go with the hot hand and start with Barnes instead of Grandal. I think he should still rotate between Granderson and Kike based on who the starting pitcher is.

I hope that the rest has been beneficial for Wood. His velocity dipped post all start break, which contributed to his very poor post all star break numbers. The rest should help him get his velocity back.

 

Ah didn't know seagar was banged up like that. Hope he can play through it and not become a liability. Good thing we do have players that can play the infield and put up good at bats if he is unable to go. Not ideal but not the end of the world either.

Yea I was very disappointed in Grandal's at bats. I don't mind the early swings because you got get the pitch you want to hit but if you do make sure you moving runners over and making solid contact. I though Granderson was making solid contact and a couple times just was unlucky to hit it where the defense was but he did come up with a big base hit in game 2 (I believe). Taylor might be pressing a little. Thats why we need veteran guys on the team to come in and show the young guys how to keep calm and do what they have been doing.

The cubs are tired for sure and it would be great to jump on their Starting pitcher and get to that bullpen. Wearing out the pen is also key. DBacks never got a chance to use Rodney against us. Love the Cubs closer to be stuck to the pine too

 

Yikes...

 

Great win by the Dodgers today! Everyone played well, Puig was just amazing today. Cluberson did very well in the absence of Seager; let's hope they can keep this up.

I'm glad that Doc pulling Kersh after the 5th inning worked out for us. There's no reason for us to wear out Kersh and keep him out there when his stuff isn't there with how good our bullpen is looking.

 

Anyone know if Seager will get healthy should the dodgers get to the world series?

 

F**K YEAH!!!!!!!!

 

My chest is aching right now. Jeebus.

 

Big Red is doing to hitting what Kershaw does to pitching. He’s in a zone.
