THROW.
TO.
FIRST.
BASE.

My God, what a brain fart.

The Dodgers are a stacked team, but Mother of God, they won with a RBI walk and a throwing error and with Ohtani going 1-18 in the series.

Baseball is part talent, part luck and part having a horseshoe up your ass.

Yes, that saved Dave Roberts from another bad decision. The guy on third didn't even slide thinking it was an easy out to first base and missed the plate. Even a catchable throw to the plate is an out. Pulling Glasnow after the 6th when he looked unhittable was a mistake. What are they saving him for if they lose this game? Amazing that they won this series given the offensive struggles. The Dodgers scored four runs in twenty innings at home. One on a walk and another on an error.

Great extra innings game last night between the Tigers and Mariners.

I can’t help but wonder what Seattle will have left going into the ALCS less than 48 hours from their win.

They used 15 pitchers last night, in the ALCS you can have a maximum of 13 pitchers on your roster.

Interesting final 4.

I am going to stand by the Dodgers as my winner.

LA has almost 3 times the payroll of the Brewers and even if they face Toronto in the WS they have a $100mil advantage.

It's beyond comical how they can get away with spending that much money; baseball is in serious need of a salary floor/cap, you have to spend up to the cap so teams like the Pirates and A's can't have a 47.00 payroll and still share in revenues and you can't spend over a certain amount like the Dodgers and Mets do in order to level the playing field like it is in the NFL.

I hope you are right but the Dodgers offense has gone into a funk just as they sorted out the bullpen. Tanner Scott with his $72 million salary wasn't even available to pitch against the Phillies as the Dodgers have lost confidence in him. Not likely to see the field. Kershaw may not pitch again after his shelling. I think this series is another 50-50 deal with luck playing a role in who wins.

Another hard-fought win for the Dodgers. Winning ugly is still winning. They have now scored six runs in the last 29 innings. Two by walks and one by an error. That double play on Muncy with the bases loaded was bizarre. I thought if the ball bounced off the glove of the outfielder and hit the top yellow portion of the wall that it would be a HR. All the worse, the umps apparently signaled that it was a catch to the base runs who held up because of the call on the field. Roberts should have gone berserk.

What a load of BS; as a baserunner, all you can do is go by the signal from the umpire, what a lucky ass play by Milwaukee that it bounced off the glove, the wall and then back into the glove................due to umpire error, should have been a run in and the bases still loaded, one out.

Glad the Dodgers won as they got screwed royally on that play.

I realized watching that game that I didn't recognize a single player on the Brewers who finished with the best record in baseball. Kudos to whoever that Brewers player was who jumped out of the way of a pitch that was sure to hit him with the bases loaded in the 9th inning that would have tied the game. And then struck out on a pitch a foot above the strike zone to end the game. If not for that, the Dodgers bullpen would have blown another game.

This is the Dodgers team that everyone feared at the start of the season. They are healthy, winning games 2-1 or 10-9.

Pitcher’s duel or offensive showdown they will win via a deeper, more expensive roster.

The experts can try to make things interesting via the idea that anything can happen in baseball but the fact is they are going to win the World Series.

In a sport with no salary cap they deserve it.

I wonder how many times in MLB history that a pitcher has given up a homer on his very first pitch in the playoffs and then gone to pitch a complete game. The Dodgers are struggling to score runs but getting some great starting pitching. Winning two on the road is huge. Not to jinx it but I find it hard to believe the Brewers somehow had the best record in MLB. They look awful.

Brewers gonna Brewer, there's a reason why they've been to a whopping one WS in their history, coming up small over and over on the big stage.

Dodgers/Mariners World Series...................at least they won't have to travel too much, gee, can't wait.

I didn't realize Seattle and Toronto even still had baseball teams. Seattle must have hired the same marketing genius as Cracker Barrel to redesign their logo. That Neptune pitchfork design was the only thing they had going for them and they changed it to some generic AI generated "S".

Whenever I think Mariners, I think Seahawks and those annoying "12's"; good for them, they stand and scream at football games for 3 hours, Dodgers all the way.

They took out the Phillies and are up 2-0 on the Brewers, their pitching is other worldly, I admire teams that can pitch lights out in the playoffs and they've been completely dominant so far, the Brewers have Yelich................and a bunch of guys I've never heard of............and whoever that woman is who sits behind home plate keeping score dressed like she works at The Foxy Lady as a feature dancer......................

The home teams are 0-5 now. So much for home field advantage. The MLB scheduled the LA game for 3PM local time on a weekday in LA when everyone there is at work or stuck in traffic. That's good for those of us on the east coast who can actually see the ending before midnight but makes for a quiet home crowd until after the 5th inning or so.

A couple of great defensive plays by the Dodgers were the difference tonight. A bonehead error on the pickoff throw to first sealed the deal for LA. The offense is still in a funk but if the Dodgers can get six or more great innings from the starter, they are going to be tough to beat. Lousy ball and strike ump tonight. MLB can't get that automated system soon enough.
