This postseason sucks. Minasian get off your ass and put a winning team on the field for next year. Cannot stand watching the last few postseasons.

Braves, you got to seal this up Saturday. Don’t let this go to a game 7.

If it goes to Game 7 Dodgers win for sure.

Remember when Chris Taylor played SS for the M’s and couldn’t hit?

Dodger baseball, 9 innings, 9 pitchers. Makes it very difficult to watch or root for. Pricks.

Growing up I used to open the newspaper, always key in on the pitching match-up to entice my interest or enthusiasm for the upcoming game. “Whose pitching tonight” was commonly asked and discussed question in the household. Or even when I began to bet on sports, standing in line to make a bet or going to the game any buy a ticket. Who is pitching. I would not buy a ticket to see 9 pitchers in 9 innings. Or plopping bucks to see Scherzer throw only to get pulled in the 4th, while leaving with a lead.

Dodger fucking baseball, major assholes. Friedman and Roberts think they are smarter that the rest of us. Hence my vile hate for what they have turned into. Rant over, I’m out.

Disclaimer, I’m a SF Giants (NL) fan and Angel (AL) fan.

All teams use Pen to start and finish not just the Dodgers, heck even Joe does it. Joe would do it more if he had a Bullpen.

Nope, it’s going to be fun winning 2 in Atlanta for sure.

Perry could have signed him for $8M for 1 yr. But opted for Joe’s endorsement of Fowler.

The homer was on an 0-2 count; epic fail by Shohei’s buddy

Modern baseball, players fraternizing with the opponents when your getting your ass beat. WTF Freeman, big smiles yucking it up with Bellinger.

I know, right I was just commenting to my wife how stupid that looks. She had a good insight that they’re all basically independent contractors and don’t seem to give a crap.

If I was one of the Braves coaches I would be furious right now. That isn’t something a player or team does when it is trying to win the NLCS.

The Braves remind me of the 1980’s Angels.

Although Albert gave a good finger wag like he was the one that hit the home run.
