I don't know about the rest of you, but I want to see the Dodgers win, mostly because of Kershaw.

He's been easily the best pitcher of our generation, and it doesn't seem right that he doesn't have a World Series.

Same here

 

Too many times they've been so close.

 

I wanted them to win one with Martin.

 

Hoping they win it all this year

[G-Snarls]

A Dodgers Rays WS would be due to Tampa execs with very little money vs ex Tampa execs with loads of money

Go Freddie! Go Braves!

[saskjayfan]

Freddie gets it going! Let's go Braves!

[Stangstag]

Loll looks like around 10k fans here. What was the point of the “bubble” if they’re gonna allow fans?

[G-Snarls]

Pitcher's duel so far..

[Stangstag]

Didn’t realize the new park was turf.... lol why did they need to pay 1 billion for a new stadium just to have a turf surface?

I think it was all about the roof. Putting a roof on the old one was probably about as much as building a s***** new park so they went with the s***** new park

[Carlos Danger]

This is great baseball and exciting, just like the Rays series. That 12-4, 9-3 s*** was not what you want to see in the playoffs.

[Stangstag]

Ozuna is fun

[Stangstag]

Ouch, final nail for this game. Dodgers bullpen is a lot weaker without Kenley

[Carlos Danger]

Only three more Braves!!

[G-Snarls]

Yeah

 

Do they ever miss good Kenley Jansen

Is the new park really 's*****'? why so (I know nothing about it)

I don't really know. People are already complaining about the lighting and the turf... comparing it to the Trop aesthetically.

 

Their previous park seemed pretty solid and was only built in 1994.

yikes - a comparison to the Trop is about as low as it gets.

[Brownie19]

Kershaw scratched with back spasms....Gonsolin starting tonight.

[glory]

I'm also pulling for the Dodgers so Kershaw can get a ring, so sucks that he's missing tonight's start. Hope he's good to go soon.

Yikes

No.....

[Abomination]

Thanks! That changed my DFS lineup considerably.

[glory]

We're really going to see Rays/Braves in the World Series, aren't we? Ugh.

 

Come on Dodgers.

[Spanky99]

Freeman's a boss!

[saskjayfan]

Freeman's a boss!

 

Freddie's one of my favourite players in the league. Go Braves!

[Stangstag]

Lol at the Dodgers games being at 6pm eastern for the rest of the week. Ridiculous. That’s 3pm local time. No reason they can’t swap the timeslots for the ALCS and NLCS. Penny pinching f***s

[Spanky99]

Pache, nice kid.

[saskjayfan]

The dodgers are turning into the 1990s Atlanta Braves.
