Lmao did the dodgers really just let a reliever hit to get the third out of an inning then put in a new pitcher?
Thats a Dusty move if I have ever seen one.


Doesn't want his pinch hitters having to go on short rest in 2 days

Joe Kelly is the biggest dewsh in MLB.

Even his team mates do not want to sit by him.


And then Rat Fiers is too scared to pitch against the Astros.

Joe Kelly, member of the 2018 Red Sox, deciding he is concerned about the integrity of the game is perhaps one of the more amusing things I've ever seen.

So a "unbiased national baseball journalist" seems to be implying that, while a mysterious light coming from an outfield bar is not suspicious, someone whistling (as the pitcher is throwing the ball) is proof the Astros are cheating? C'mon man, at least pretend to have some integrity.........

is it even illegal to whistle? i thought the major ban was on using any kind of electronics to steal signals.
nah but how did the bench whistlers get the info they're whistling?

1990s me cannot believe I'm actively cheering for the Braves in the playoffs tonight.
I know this is everyone...

and I hate the Dodgers

but I think I am actually pulling for the Dodgers.

The Braves are just better and have a team of destiny feel.




plus...I feel like beating the Dodgers would be the perfect way to win this WS and complete the '17 revenge tour

I don't care if we have to play the '27 Yankees or the '68 Cardinals or whoever else. Just get MY team in the WS.

really hoping to get a solid 4 innings or more out of Garcia tonight. If we can get 4+ innings of 2-3 run baseball, I think we'll be okay. I think our boys are ready to mash tonight and have a feeling our 1-3 is ready to go off! LFG!!!!

speaking of Chris Sale...one of the most over-rated / over-hyped pitchers of the past decade.

his stats in 10 postseason appearances:

10 games
7 starts

36 innings pitched

24 earned runs...(14 vs. the Astros)
36 hits
13 walks

6.35 ERA
1.44 WHIP

Jesus Christ this is just stupid. Using postseason stats to call him overrated is lazy. Best K/BB ratio of all time. On pace to blow past 3,000 Ks. WHIP near 1.000. 3.03 ERA. 140 career ERA+.

Don't act like you wouldn't love to have him in Houston, because I would.

interesting idea,, can't use electronics to steal/convey signals, right? can they use binoculars and candles? perhaps a series of beacons

Yup. By that logic, our beloved Biggio and Bagwell are probably not even HOF players.

Yep. Anyone rooting for the Dodgers is an idiot. Home field alone is worth playing the Braves.

And remember, if it's dodgers they would have just won 3 straight and 2 in ATL. And have Home field to start the series. No thanks. Hoping Braves win in 7 but would be happy with 6.

I want absolutely zero part of the Dodgers. Yes, beating them again would be sweet, but man... I don't know how you can't want the Braves and home field.

Why are the MLB home field rules the way they are? So by default the division winner has home field through the Championship Series? If two division champs play then it goes by record. But then all of a sudden for the World Series it just changes to record?

I feel like it should just be based on record throughout. Or at least consistent one way or the other. Just really odd to me that the Braves, with 88 wins, have home field over the Dodgers. But if the Dodgers made the WS they'd have home field over both Boston and us, with 92 and 95 wins respectively.

Not only would the Dodgers get home field advantage if they win the series, the Braves would be the road team no matter the outcome of the ALCS if they win the series.

I think of it in terms of the bracket seeding. Each league series game is easy to determine based on bracket seed 1-5, but once you make the World Series how do you compare an AL 2 with a NL 5?

I've been thinking about this a little and wonder what a home field would look like based on total inter league record of the AL vs NL. Sort of the spirit of the all star based one without relying on the all star game nobody cares about. In the event of a tie you could make the argument the leagues are even and the better seeded/record team should host.

We won Game 1 at home, and lost Game 2 at home. We haven't played at home since.

There are plenty of reasons.

- **** the Dodgers and their ****ty fans.
- MLB will meltdown since no coastal blue bloods playing.
- MLB will be forced to host games at Atlanta.
- Home field advantage.
- Revenge for the 90's.
- **** the Dodgers again.
