was there a reason Buehler isn't starting?

was there a reason Buehler isn't starting?

Because there's an off day tomorrow, which is a much better time to run a bullpen game than after an off day with 3 games in 3 days.

He's not very reliable since his return from injury. Sometimes he looks like his old self. Other times he can't get out of the 2nd inning.

And this basically.

Whoever was like ahhh what a great day to stay home and watch LA sports

f*** you

It was really just one bad inning. That and Ohtani, Betts, Teoscar, and Freeman all no showing today. The hard thing to swallow is that I’ve been to enough Dodger games to know that that Vientos grand slam probably would have been 40 feet short of the wall if that had been a night game.

The Dodgers really have been a team that if they don't get totally blown up in the first couple innings, they likely win the game.

Dodgers' Mr. October (Kike) had two cracks at tying or putting the Dodgers ahead, but came up short.

Of course 0-19 from the first five in the lineup didn't help.

 

[Telos]

What a blast from Ohtani... Hell yeah.

 

[The don godfather]

Wowsers.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

only in blowouts or something

Man, Ohtani with RISP is the best player in pro sports history, but with no one on the bases, he's just me

 

[kingsholygrail]

Ohtani thrives on the pressure. Dodgers and Mets really putting an emphasis on first to get going blows the other out.
Also OUCH.

 

[Lt Dan]

The Dodgers are safe from Rob and Luc's incompetence

Good night for the Dodgers. Outscored the Mets and the Leafs.

Four shutouts in five postseason games. Not bad for a crippled pitching staff.

The problem is the 23 runs given up in the other three games they lost.

 

[Choralone]

Eh. They don't get extra wins because of the extra runs.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Dodgers averaging 7+ walks a game in this series.

 

[Omni Owl]

DOYERS

 

[21Dog]

Scoring 10 runs without Freddie, Teo MIA and very little from Smith.

The boys are on a roll.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Dodgers are now officially cursed.

I hate Bill Plaschke.

all the dodger games this playoff season have really sucked from an excitement level standpoint. Unlike the Indians/Yanks game last night.

You definitely know who has it or not within the first three innings in this series.

 

[Tecumseh]

Flaherty gave a Bobby Miller level performance tonight. Roberts did a good job of limiting the bullpen to just Honeywell but it’s not difficult to think we might have won if Roberts had looked at Flaherty after two innings and pulled him. Anybody with eyes could see that third inning meltdown coming from a mile away.
