BIG D!

Now they need whoever is on the mound tomorrow to channel their inner Drysdale to win Game 7.

Probably Gonsolin.

Probably Gonsolin.

You make it sound as if it's a bad thing





Trying to give em the same mojo from earlier

Rays beat the Asterisks

I think he'll be less nervous in his second outing and really there's no other choice. Everyone else is on shorter rest. haha He can do it. He's been good all year.

we need to sacrifice a hundred bulls (and whatever ritual you need to do) just to win game 7

Jobu time

 

[Sleeping Dog]

You trying to tell me that Jesus can’t hit a curveball?

Jesus can hit a backdoor slider, a splitter, a Nolan Ryan fastball...you get the idea.

Jobu time

I just hope no one in the Dodger clubhouse ever stole Jobu's rum.

Terrific start for the clown, Sideshow Bob.

 

[KINGS17]

Double play ball stops the bleeding, and may prevent a big inning.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Why do you start May on 2 days rest?

 

[jfont]

Let's keep the faith and get some runs this half inning

Could have been worse

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Well, this isn’t good.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

C’mon Muncy, do something here.

EDIT: Muncy, I want to kiss you.

 

[KINGS17]

For the second inning in a row a 2-out single ties the game. This time Smith comes through for the Dodgers, and makes it 2-2.

 

[KINGS17]

I don't know how much the rules have changed regarding the catcher blocking the plate, but that is not the way to do it.

[KINGS17]

Oh, I think the slide was completely legal. As a catcher back in the day I was taught to position myself in a way that the only path I allowed to the plate was the back portion of the plate. d'Arnaud was not in the proper position to block the plate on a bang-bang play. He turned at the last second and by then it was too late. I think what he did with his knee at the last second is a good way for him to get injured.

This is the way I was taught to do it:

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

That double play redeems what could have been a bad situation. Turner just barely tagged him too.

 

[KINGS17]

Do they teach fundamentals at the MLB level anymore?

I don't know what the hell Riley was doing, but the whole purpose of the runner at third getting in a rundown is so he could take third base.

Atlanta doesn't deserve to win this game if they can't execute on the simplest of all baseball plays.

Mookie is saving the Dodgers.
