MLB is investigating it. I think he could get a fine, not sure about a suspension though.
-
I definitely think they should have left Snell out there. He's gone over 100 pitches a couple times this summer I think, and he was only at 73 when the pulled him last night. If you're gonna lose anyways, it might as well be with one of your best pitchers on the mound instead of a reliever. I'm not sure if Cash actually made that decision though

Why did the Red Sox trade Mookie Betts Of all the teams to cry poor. Everybody else dreams of having a guy that talented on their team. He's a big contract player, but they could have afforded it I think. Dodgers 2 outs away now, up 3-1. Can't believe I'm still awake. *** Dodgers win! Urias is a stud. Totally shut the Rays down at the end there. Bye bye baseball until next year (maybe, who knows what will happen when?)
-
The 8pm start time and length of game pretty much guarantees that I won't watch the whole game. Might make it until the 6th/7th depending on how much run scoring is going and how slow the pitchers are working.
-
The Dodgers are only one game away now No game tonight so both bullpens will get a bit of rest. The Rays are gonna throw the kitchen sink at the Dodgers on Tuesday night to try to force a game 7. According to MLB.com, the probably starters for Tuesday are Snell and Gonsolin, so I think that definitely favours the Rays.
-
I didn't get to see the game last night, but it sounds like it was pretty exciting. Over four hours long though - oof. Some of the games I've watched this postseason have been awful in terms of pace of play. Slow pitchers really turn me off from a game.
-
Kershaw 6.0 IP, 8 K, only 1 run allowd; Betts and Bellinger both HR'ed; and the bullpen didn't cough it up. Sounds like a pretty good recipe for a Dodgers win to me! I think the Dodgers are starting Gonsolin tonight. He hasn't been very good, so maybe the Rays even it up tonight.
-
Betts wasn't great at the plate in the NLCS, but yeah his defensive impact was definitely felt. I think he only had one extra-base hit (a double) in the whole series; no HRs, one 2B, and a handful of singles. I'm sure they're hoping he looks a bit more MVP-like in the World Series. His career batting numbers vs. Tampa Bay from his Boston years are quite good, so maybe that familiarity will be a good thing facing the Rays in the WS.

Rays vs. Dodgers starts tomorrow night in Texas!
-
Good job Rays for beating the Astros. Also, fuck the Rays. World Series starts on Tuesday. I'm still hoping for a Rays / Dodgers matchup. But I don't know who the Dodgers have available to pitch tonight. Might need their lineup to score a lot of runs to make it through tonight.

Buehler was reeeaaallllly good. Should have run him back out there for another inning. They're lucky Treinen only allowed one run there.
-
Astros fans right now:
-
The Rays better not let it go to game 7 Tough finish to Kershaw's start last night.
-
Did you see that 11-run first inning last night? 10 of those runs scored with 2 outs Might as well have called the game there.
-
Barves scored 4 runs in the 9th last night to beat the Dodgers 5-1. And now Kershaw is scratched for today's game (back spasms). Could be a quick 2-0 lead for Atlanta, though they also have a pretty long history now of postseason disappointments so I would not be shocked to see L.A. punch back and even it out. Which team can out-choke the other?
-
But still Rays ALCS: Rays vs. Astros NLCS: Dodgers vs. Braves Who ya got going through to the World Series? I think the Rays were clearly better than the Astros in the regular season, but the Astros do still have quite a bit of talent on their roster. I'm leaning Rays here. On the NL side, while the Braves are very good with a lot of talent in their own right, the Dodgers are just too good. Their run differential is nuts. I think they had the second fewest runs against in all of the MLB, and the most runs scored - though the Braves scored a ton of runs too. So it could be a bit of a bloodbath if the Dodger's pitching lets them down. I want to see a Rays vs. Dodgers World Series. Two very good teams, one running one of the lowest payrolls in the whole league up against one of the biggest spenders in the league. Let's do it.

Turns out the Dodgers are pretty good RIP Dads Really need the Rays to knock the Yankees out today. Plz Rays
-
Stupid Astros
-
BARVES strike first! 3-0 now in the 3rd, still no outs - tough start for Sixto Sanchez. --- 5-0 now in the 5th. Not looking good for the fish.
-
And here I am thinking these are best-of-7 series Guess I wasn't paying very close attention. Kershaw wasn't great night, but good enough at least. Jansen tried to blow it in the 9th though I doubt we'll see either team that's down 0-2 come back for a 3-2 win. Perhaps there is still some hope Oakland and NYY being down 1-2, but those odds probably aren't great either. Dodgers/Braves should be a good NLCS if that's how it ends up. I don't really like any combination of teams on the AL side.
-
Kershaw may be a different story this postseason. As usual, he was very good in the regular season - but he only had to pitch around 60 innings, not the usual workload, so I think he's still got a lot left in the tank for the postseason run. He pitched brilliantly in the WC game against Milwaukee. 8 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 13 K, 93 pitches. I'm excited to see what he does tonight. He'll be facing a tougher lineup than Milwaukee's, so I don't expect another 8 inning gem, but it would be great to see a pitching duel. (Only problem is the Dads are a bit short on pitchers... kinda hard to have a one-man duel )
-
If it turns out to be another Astros / Dodgers World Series then there are going to be some pretty juicy stories. Are they still cheating? Etc. Not really what I want to see though.
-
Yankees and Astros took early 1-0 leads yesterday You're expecting the Padres to beat LA? I'm hoping for it, but I don't know that I would expect it to happen. Interesting how the NLDS/ALDS series all worked out to be divisional match-ups. They should all know each other well by now. It will be interesting to see if the teams on the losing end of the season series can make adjustments and find a way to win the DS. Ex. Oakland went 7-3 vs. Houston during the season, but now Houston is up 1-0. Have they figured something out, or is it just one game? We'll find out over the course of the week!

I don't really find one league to be better or more exciting than the other. On both sides, the higher seed advanced in 3 out of 4 series. The lack of upsets kinda killed the excitement, because that's what that first round with the short series was all about
