In case this hasn,t been mentioned.
The Bo baserunning incident with Varsho.All on the HP ump.Varsho said the ump never said strike or ball so he thought it was a walk.
Give us a decent HP ump we usually win.
Go Jays 8-) :lol:

I feel like the pressure is on the Dodgers tonight. They don’t want to go back to Toronto needing to win two road games. Would be huge if the Jays could steal this game, and have two shots to win at home.

He's really good but I wouldn't say he's guaranteed win good. In the first inning we were one horrible called strike from a bases loaded nobody out situation that could've changed the complexion of the entire game. There's no reason we couldn't touch him up for 3 runs over 6 innings and pull off a W.

They're getting worried.


Enrique has only played like 90ish innings in CF the last 2 years, seems risky to have him and Teo out there. Not sure if Call is much of an upgrade on Pages for that downgrade on defense. But their OF defense is a lot worse with the unit they have tonight. Pages is Varsho level out there and having Enrique in a spot he never really plays tells be how desperate the Dodgers are for offense.

It would be a good test to see how this year's Dodgers respond to adversity. They've had an easy run of it in the playoffs so if we win this and they win 2 at Skydome, then you tip your hat and say they deserve to be champs. But if not, then the narratives will be reversed and people will say they failed because they didn't know how to dig deeper, etc,.

Other than Yamo their starters haven't played great this series. The Brewers and Phillies 7-1 run they went on looks a lot better when Snell/Ohtani/Glasnow are having sub 2 ERAs.

Yamamoto is scary, but imagine Yamamoto in a Tampa jersey and we have to play them at Tropicana. Now THAT would be unhittable. :lol:

Lineup construction is interesting, they created an easier lane for Dominguez tonight with Smith/Betts/Freeman/Teo. Instead of the L/R/L/R setup they had before.

Listening to Dodgers talk and their fans are terrified to go to game 7 in Toronto. They're treating this tonight like a must win.

Dominguez should come in for 2 through 5 now.

Fluharty window is now 7 through 1. Same for Little but that's never gonna happen.

If I see IKF I might go postal.

Could do Domginez 8 + 9 + IBB + 2 as well with the way the bottom of the order is set-up which i can also see as a possibility then give Varland the 3-6.

Can you imagine him on three days rest? I would then start Varland for Game 6 and hope for a complete game. :lol:

If Springer is not healthy, let him rest and bring in to PH if necessary. It’s going to be a Kirk Gibson moment

IKF home run, the Dodgers will lose all hope and concede the series.
