GDT: 2017 NLDS: (1) Los Angeles Dodgers vs (WC1) Arizona Diamondbacks

[Tecumseh]

The Dodgers can thank the Rockies for basically screwing up their rotation in the NL WC Game. Forced them to pull Greinke early and use Ray in desperation.

Assuming LA wins the series, they owe Colorado a little thank you.

Should the Dodgers thank the Dbacks for not being as good at baseball as them as well?

Nice excuse. They've given up 16 runs in these two games (so far). Can't credit/blame one wild card game for being dominated like that.

Obviously

 

[Machinehead]

I 'd be shocked if Roberts would be happy with that steal attempt though.

No, you're right. Puig got over excited on that one.

 

[Machinehead]

I wish the Yankees had a weapon like Turner.

What a pain in the ass to get out.

They don't owe them anything. Arizona totally outplayed so far.

I do believe we'll see different Arizona at home. This is coming back to LA.

Mets had him lol.

Mets had him lol.

Right?

I just keep wondering how that even happens. Guy leaves and turns into this

Mets gonna Mets I guess.

Once in a blue moon a guy figures it out at 29-30. Unfortunately for Mets they had it happen to them twice - Turner and Murphy.

No, no, no. It was fortunate for all of us that Mets, Mets. Cause they could have used him in the World Series against the Royals.

You could argue 4. They had once had Nelson Cruz (as a very young minor leaguer) and Jose Bautista.

D-Backs are back within 2. LAD has just a major bullpen problem that will derail their title hopes it seems.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Right through Marte's 5-hole.

 

[The Night King]

Nice one, Marte.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Jansen for 5 outs.

And he gets them. 2-0 Dodgers head to 'zona.

 

[Machinehead]

My only issue with the Dodgers is that Jansen pitches too much.

Do they lack other options?

The Dodgers should thank all of the opponents they beat this season for giving them the number 1 seed.

I should also thank my father-in-law for impregnating my mother-in-law. If that never happened, I would've never met my wife.

Both Girardi and Lovullo overmanaged the WC games. I understand you want to win it but you cannot destroy your rotation for the next series in the process. At some point I think you have to say I'm not using anyone else who is a potential starter and if we lose then so be it.

Yes.

They need more Baez.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Can Greinke escape this mess? 2 on, none out.

 

[EpochLink]

Grienke at 50 pitches and we are only in the second inning

 

[rangerssharks414]

The first two innings are going to take close to an hour.

 

[EpochLink]

Greinke is at 70 pitches and counting

 

[BMOK33]

Grienke is badly overrated because of that 2015 season. Outside of that year he has just been a very good #2 or borderline #1 starter. He's not a guy like Kluber Sale or Kershaw who when they're on is going 8-9 innings for sure

 

[SniperHF]

Offense git gud pls thx.

You should look at the leaderboards for pitching in 2017 (or maybe the year he actually won the Cy Young in 2009) and and reconsider. If Greinke is a borderline #1, there's less than 10 number 1's in the whole league. Nonsense.

 

[rangerssharks414]

The D-Backs are really lucky to only be down 1-0.
