My reasoning is the As are still winning the toughest division with their 3 aces underperforming. You want a 3 game series vs Snell, CFM, & Glasnow? I sure don't.

---

I dont want either TB or Oakland. I'd rather face the White Sox or any central team.

I just know Oakland owns us this season and we suck at their stadium in 2020. Would be a very bad matchup

---

The only way you face the 3 seed in the second round is if Oakland gets upset.

---

I know. I'm talking round 1. Round 2 we'd face the 2-7 seed but that's out of our control.

Me. Pleasantly surprised this am.

the White Sox (29-16) might be a little bit of a paper tiger.

the south-siders have lost all 4 series vs. the Twins and Indians. Just 4-8 vs. those 2 playoff teams.

but they have feasted on the Royals, Pirates, and Tigers. Gone 20-3 vs. those 3 clubs.

that's a fairly large discrepancy

Last night was fun.

gave up at 5-1 and went to bed early last night,, pleasantly surprised when i saw the score this morning!

who else willing to admit they were frustrated and gave up?

---

I had the game on in the background while I watched a TV show on my phone. Show ended in the 8th, so I watched the 9th.

That's the difference between the seed and the 4/5 seed. Which is what I was taking about.

I love me some Marwin Gonzales but let's be honest...He's one who definitely benefited from the sign stealing stuff.

And not really on that particular play just overall.

I know he got paid and probably wouldn't have mattered but I wonder JL knowing how much that was helping him played into letting him walk.

Dusty must be mad at Greinke

I agree. And AJ did the same thing. You've got a day off tomorrow and LA is going with a bullpen day. How do you sit Gurriel, Ted, and Diaz for those 3 slappys at the bottom? What kind of message does that send to your starting pitcher?

Typical dusty lineup. He has no idea how to manage a roster or make a lineup. I mean they all had Friday off so it's not like they can't play 2 days in a row.

If he's not the worst manager in the ML he's definitely on the short list.

Man, I cannot stand this bull***** You have a chance to take 2 in LA and you roll out that lineup? wtf

Woof

Day off two days ago and day off tomorrow... So yes let's give guys rest instead of trying to win the game

Looks like it injury related stuff except for Tucker

While it sucks, it makes sense now.

Diaz is hurt again? SHOCKED, I tell ya.

Any word on Altuve?

He's on the DL almost as much as Giancarlo Stanton

I very rarely complain about injuries because I feel like most people overblow these scenarios. However Diaz's injuries are really starting to pi$$ me off. They are all Soft tissue hamstring or quad injuries

I think at some point, off-season conditioning and getting these specific muscles supported by a number of things has to be considered. He is either carrying weight in the wrong places, is not conditioning correctly or is weight training improper muscles and ignoring others. Freaking figure it out dude. He couldn't make it past game 1 with a massive off-season lay-off. These aren't freak injuries there is something specially not happening

He's arbitration eligible next year. I predict he gets DFA'd. We will need another utility player. Isn't Marwin a FA after this year?

Looks like the Dodgers are using an opener today... The big fireball reliever, Brusdar Graterol

We need to score early and often. Nothing worse than letting the opener get deep into the game

The preview of the game on the MLB site says he hasn't thrown more than 22 pitches or 1.2 innings this season.

I predict you're wrong. He's cheap. He's solid when healthy. They'll bet on that because we don't have better alternatives and can't afford to get rid of an asset.

And use his injury history against him I'm arbitration.

At least I hope they do.

Ummm what channel are we on?

Looks like ESPN2 for now

ESPN2 for now.

Thanks. I switched to streaming.

Who the hell watches mens tennis?

ESPN has Correa mic'd up during the game and I hope we get sassy Correa and he talks some **** on the broadcast.

Thanks guys. Thought I was going to have to watch tennis tonight. What do those scores even mean? Can't they just use natural numbers?
