Quoted from o-din:St. Louis fans gave Sanchez a standing ovation after he finally gave up a hit and was leaving the game. That's pure class.
I was watching the game w my uncle..once Sanchez gave up the hit and was pulled, I said that he should get a nice applause. He was in the zone, and I was hoping to see some history..good on the fans...and go expos errr Nats

The game of baseball has had cheaters for a long time..from steroid/hgh use, to the ‘alledged’ electric device. It’s sad, really, as a fan to hear/see this. So many players will look at any means to be a better player..driven to get bigger contracts & ultimately a championship title/ring.
Congratulations to Larry Walker for going to Cooperstown! Only the 2nd Canadian to be there..Fergie Jenkins was the 1st..I remember when he played w the Expos, and then the Rockies. He’s always been very well spoken and appreciative..I kinda hope that his mug sports an expo hat: either way, I’m happy for a local kid that done good..

I was living in so cal back in ‘99, and was lucky enough to go to the dodgers season opener...it was Kevin brown for the hometown, vs Randy Johnson & the D backs..Both 1st games on their new clubs..I remember Raul Mondesi tying the game in late innings, and later winning it w a hr by the bullpen, the ball was flying maybe 10’ away from me. Was a classic game I’ll never forget..
Quoted from Jaybird815:Kershaw scratched and put on the IL, not a good start for LaD.
Ya, heard that he hurt his back in the weight room. The young stud Dustin May gets the start 2nite, my 2nd fave ginger on the team..Justin Turner is the shit!
Quoted from Jaybird815:I think Urias is going to turn into a stud, kid can pitch.
Maybe the next great Mexican pitcher..Fernandomania in the early ‘80’s was good times!

Huge props to Joe Kelly, and doing what he did vs those Astros a few days ago. Is his suspension worthy? Absolutely..just wished that a pitch hit the body, and not in the head of course..now, if only other teams follow suit...
Quoted from Pickle:Props to pitching intentionally to hit people??? Any pitcher doing that should be banned for those actions. One wrong pitch intentional pitch can end a career. People need to grow up and be adults. No need to hate on the Astros as we know damn near every team steals signs. Astros took it overtly too far I would agree.
Let’s put you in the batters box and have pitches intentionally thrown to hit you and see how you like it. One mistake and you can end a guys career. If you could guarantee a player would only be hit in the back, butt, arm, leg, etc. then not as big a deal. Hurts like hell I am sure but if no injury consequence I get on field justice. But you have to draw a line for player’s safety. If this had been regular season the bench clearing would have been a brawl I bet.
C’mon, everybody seeing this coming, including the players. I don’t wish that anyone gets hit in the head, or seriously injured while in the box. More fans have been killed in the stands from foul balls. Call/say what you want, but I’d think that most fans would agree that it’d be wrong to not respond in some way for the bs the astros did years ago..and total bs how the commissioner reacted/responded to the ‘alleged cheating’ give me a fn break..

I’m still into the playoffs, as weird as it is w consecutive games each day. I’ll confess that I watched the nlcs game last night w the volume off most of the game, as I just can’t stand Bucks voice anymore. Maybe this should of been in the confession page.
Quoted from rwmech5:Altuve has the yips so bad, wonder if he'll ever be the same.
I don’t care for this guy..is he a good player? Sure..but I don’t care for a cheater (allegedly)

To many mistakes, and bad decisions made by Roberts last night. Leaving Baez in to long, after giving up the homer. Putting in Jansen to close it, he just doesn’t throw heat anymore. A few base running mistakes, that one by Muncy on 2nd base..then that pinch hit in the 9th..Taylor w the bobble, poor throw to the plate by Muncy..Mookie has to step up and contribute offensively..last night hurt as a dodgers fan, but some rum n cokes after the game helped ease some of the pain..
Been a dodgers fan for 40 years, and to see Julio Urias close the door was just beautiful. Kenley couldn’t do it, but I still admire/respect what he’s brought to the club for years. Being part Hispanic, I felt proud watching Julio after the game w the flag over his shoulders. Brought me back when Fernando ruled the city of angels..this is the best Wednesday in a very long time.,

Quoted from Jaybird815:Baseball season is upon us, it’ll be nice to see fans in the stands again. Any Series predictions? I like LAD vs Toronto, LAD champs. That team is absolutely loaded.
I’d be happy w that! My parents, years ago, gave me a Dodgers winter coat. On one sleeve, it lists the years they were champs. I’d like to add last years to it..

Quoted from Jaybird815:Now that a good chunk of the season has been played, I think the 2 biggest surprises are how good the Giants are and how bad the Twins are. I didn’t see either one of those coming.
The giants are a huge surprise. Kinda nice to see some competition for the nl west this year. My Dodgers have been hit w injuries, but Bueler & Urias have been studs from the mound.arguably, the best 2 starters on any team right now..

2 games behind the Giants for the division, w 14 games to go. Big loss last night to the Reds, and facing a potential 1 game wildcard vs the cards, reds, Phillies or Padres. I really like my Dodgers pitching/team, but to play a wildcard game to advance, and after not getting more then 1 run w Bueller on mound..ya, I’m scoreboard watching all the time..

Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:hottest team in baseball right now. won 20 of last 21 i believe. GO CARDS
It’ll be interesting to see if they, in all likelihood, play my Dodgers in the WC..must watch for all baseball fans..
My dream World Series would be the Dodgers & astros..imagine Joe Kelly pitching to that lil bitch Altuve..that’d be fn classic! Put the Astros cheating in the past?! No fn way..and I wonder if they’ll make a plate like this for Taylor? Quite historic/memorable
89728FE4-5583-4477-A1E8-91A796A7A033 (resized).jpegQuoted from LeMansFan:Or maybe the Giants are just a really good team???
That they are. Webb pitched a brilliant game yesterday, and full credit to him and his team. A few defensive plays that were awesome too. A must win 2nite for the Dodgers..
I dunno what’s up w the Dodgers late in this series. Is Robert’s over managing/making to many pitcher changes? To many runners left on base. Credit to the Braves thou. Only allowed 4 hits in game 2. Ballsy base running, and clutch hitting. Game 3 in Chavez ravine is a must win for the Dodgers..
Quoted from Pickle:So let’s have some fun to tide us over till the WS.
Does anyone else have a wife, GF, friend family member/friend etc that drives them crazy during a game?
Share your stories…..also what pregame traditions/ rituals do you have? Are there certain things you do or don’t do to not jinx your team?
My wife drives me crazy sometimes….she enjoys watching the games but man she gets mad so easy..she always yells “why is he throwing the ball in the dirt. Why can’t he throw a strike!” I have to calm her down and tell her if it were that easy pitchers would throw nothing but strikes. Then when a ball is hit straight to a fielder she gets mad again and says “why did he hit the ball to the guy…doesn’t he know to hit it where the guy isn’t?” I again have to calm her down and tell her if it was that easy batters would get hits all the time. If we are losing early she usually goes in the other room. Then if we come back and win she doesn’t like to watch the next game cause she thinks she will jinx them. Cracks me up.
My nephew is a braves fan for many years. We’d text each other during the nlcs. Over 20 years ago, I took him to dodger stadium when the braves were in town. Larry Wayne Jones Jr (Chipper) was his fave. Went early n caught pre game warm up n soak up the atmosphere. Darren Driefort threw me a ball, and I gave it to my nephew. For the WS, I’m cheering for the braves.
Quoted from pch3727:He's backed off the comments lately, but in the past he's mentioned how he was a huge Yankees fan growing up. As a kid he wanted to play shortstop for the Yankees like Derek Jeter. If they come with a huge offer, it might tough for him to turn it down. I imagine quite a few teams will be making a run at him.
Sadly, I hear that there’s interest in Corey seagar..seagar n his agent boras are looking for a lengthy contract w big $..Dodgers can’t keep them all..
Quoted from Jaybird815:Pretty good short summary here

Thanks Jay bird..I had no idea till today upon this. With this ‘pandemic’ n all that’s going on, it’s bs to worry about millionaires n billionaires arguing over $. Inflation n the cost of living is fn outta control, here anyway, n keeps things in perspective

I’m liking my dodgers line up, but losing Kenley from the pen might hurt. Walker Bueler to start off the mound is awesome. Julio Urias is a stud, Kershaw is usually quite good in the regular season..and having Freddie Freeman is another luxury..I feel like my team is the new Yankees w their payroll n probably hated by many

Quoted from vicjw66:At this point, Reds fans should boycott. The reason the Dodgers almost always field a competitive team is that our fan base would not put up with this nonsense. I’m starting to realize why the Dodgers over/under was only 97.5. The west is really strong this year. Also, nice to see Madison Bumgarner get tossed in the first inning tonight after the ump stared him down. His name suits him. He’s a bum and he cries like a girl.

Dodgers have always drafted well, and the farm system has so many top prospects. Nice to see the dodgers put a beat down on sf last night.
Quoted from chuckwurt:I’m only 37. Haha. The dodgers have been good for my whole life I think.
I’m 51, and became a fan during the Garvey, Lopes, Cey, Russell and ‘Fernando mania’ days. Still 1 of my fave sports stadiums to go to ..all the pretty latinas don’t hurt either

Quoted from attyrhodes:Just dropping in to remind the snowflakes in here that the Astros are still better than your respective teams.
Better team then the dodgers? Maybe better cheaters..but not a better team..
Quoted from Pickle:My goodness…..let it go.
You can’t deny the Stro’s are still a very good team…pitching is likely to be an issue but let’s see if they make a move. They will be in the playoff mix unless they have an epic collapse or a ton of injuries. Same thing could happen to the Dodgers or any other team. There is a lot of ball to be played. Let’s see where things are at the All Star break.
I said that to get a reaction..it’s in the past, n you’re right, time to move on. I agree w your post, as it is a long season, n injuries do/will happen. Losing Dustin May, n now Kershaw to injuries sucks, but next man up. The trade deadline could make things interesting for contending teams

Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Orioles are in the race and could sweep Jays tonite
We have no pitching.. we're done
Lot of games left..w that line up, you’ll be fine Dunky
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:No way HWY ...I have watched pretty much every game and attended many. Look what happened last night, Bichette gives the Jays the Lead late in the game..bullpen then loses game.
It happens. My dodgers signed Kimbrel, and he’s been shaky as a closer. Should of just resigned Kenley, but that’s baseball at times
Quoted from Maken:They didn't sign Kimbrel. The Cubs did, then they traded him to CWS for Madrigal. Then CWS traded him to your Dodgers for Pollock.
Thanks there sport..we have a Swami in the house?!

Happy that Dustin May had an impressive 1st outing yesterday. He hasn’t pitched a game since May of last year (Tommy John surgery) He went 5 innings, allowed just a hit w 9 k’s. With Bueler done for the season, this is huge for the dodgers going down the stretch..

Quoted from elcolonel:We did what we were supposed to do, to Oakland, now to throw ice on the Mariners!
I’d like to see the M’s make the playoffs this year. Poor city hasn’t been to the mlb playoffs for years. And the Kraken n Hawks are a ways away..and I can’t really speak about the sounders, as I don’t really follow soccer err football as they call it

Quoted from ImNotNorm:Toronto vs The first round. The best rivalry in all of sports.
Epic choke..gonna miss hearing Buck Martinez, I think that he’s pretty good. Now gotta wait till 4 to see who my dodgers play. Should be a good 1 in NY 2nite
Quoted from Maken:Let's go Astros. Beat those Ms.
Let’s go Mariners, beat those Astros! Looked like a almost comeback for the champs, but the Phillies continue on their roll..
Congrats to the Padres..I question the moves Roberts made in the 7th. He is responsible for moving the chess pieces, but not upon the execution. Hard to choose a team now to root for..maybe Phillies? Regardless, good luck to the teams that remain
