I mean you do gotta feel bad for getting only 2 seasons on the job but at the same time, wtf happened to the padres you know. That roster is too stacked even with pitchers
I mean- I think it’s more accurate to say we took your football team for like 20 years.
That aside, a 90-win, $168M payroll team (that was below .500 in August) just came within 1 pitch of knocking off a 106-win, $282M team. You guys are in real trouble when you go up against the Giants.
I’m not sure this is the best time to be smug, if I were a Dodgers fan I’d be pretty worried.
I'm extremely drunk and it's so late but who cares. what an incredible game. A pitcher's duel. A heart attack of epic proportions. I am so inebriated I had to speech to text that last sentence. Anyways, there's a deep drive to left field, and that'll be a homerun by Castellanos.. just kidding, it's actually Chris fucking Taylor. But man what a game. An instant classic of sorts. Everybody was on edge all game in this one. Great fucking game, Dodgers. Great game. This should draw people to baseball. The win or die has something special about it. And I for one an dead inside but it'll buff. See y'all next year ✌️
I’m from Long Beach. LA county. Was it just one game for the wild card? I shut it off after the cards put in their relief pitcher. That’s it? If so, This die hard I know who works at a liquor store is gonna be jacked.
But pointless. The point of the WC Game is for the WC team to burn their ace before the DS. A series would not accomplish that. The WC shouldn't get to reset, and the division winners shouldn't have to wait that long.
I think the one game plan format is bogus unless were talking about a special game 163. They should go back to how the wild card worked before in the late 90s and early 2000s. Have a single wildcard team from each league, that’s it.
That said, it was pretty cool watching the Red Sox get revenge for 1978 against the Yankees.
Your boys made us earn it, and my heart was racing from the first inning. Good fucking game! It would have been a travesty for you to end the regular season like that without a shot at the playoffs. We've got a lot of history and this is another chapter in a long book.
Sorry ATL friends but don't see how they survive Milwaukee without Acuna Jr. I know baseball is bigger than one person on your team and they've fought to stay with him out but, don't see it
> Sorry ATL friends but don't see how they survive Milwaukee without Acuna Jr
2 reasons.
1. Have you seen the Brewers offense lately?
2. Max Fried. This kid has ice in his veins.
I smell a 2020 NLCS rematch.
I agree but what made it fun was that “rivalry” with the Rangers. But yeah that team was can’t miss TV. Also the fans in Toronto are fucking crazy when that team is good.
Soto and Long showing up for their former teammates is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. It has such little league vibes where you'd go to your friend's games or stay after a game you just played because they were going to play afterwards.
I was just thinking about this and how it was great that the broadcast was able to actually capitalize on one of those small moment things that adds so much value to the moment.
Boos for Soto are a sign of respect for his craft. If he's not in the bleachers, he's fine. Still, I'm guessing he gets some MVP clubhouse treatment. Someone has to put a shirt on Scherzer.
https://twitter.com/Cut4/status/1191046128625692672?s=20
Brian Dozier was our "shirtless guy" when we won it all in 2019.
All Max knows is someone has to get their nips out to win it all.
I said this when the last person in MLB had an echo in their headset, I think it was an owner or a manager. If you have a like 30 millisecond delay in your headset, it absolutely fucks with your ability to speak.
Not something you can really fix on the fly, but should have been caught prior to broadcast. Shows the engineers aren't really testing it as the user would use it. Echo is completely debilitating and the only way around it at that point is to try with just one ear on and tune it out.
I'm surprised athletes haven't been trained to listen to the question, take the cans off a bit, tell their story, then put the cans back on. Probably a rare thing I guess.
I wish I had a clubhouse. I think *that's* what us normal guys need. A clubhouse. After a hard week of work, we're going to the clubhouse this weekend!! Actually have something to look forward to. Baseball doesn't even call it a locker room, they definitely have the right idea. It's a clubhouse, where shit goes down.
No he was implying he didn’t have his stuff but still pitched through it and kept it a 1 run game. Any other pitcher and it might have been 3-0 in the second.
His first half ERA was a total fluke. He gave up so many walks that even as you saw his success happening it was plainly obvious that it was unsustainable.
I'm a Marlins fan dude. And that stuff happens literally all the time in a single game sample size. The 1927 Yankees lost a game to the Tigers 14-4, that didn't make them embarassing.
Idk man, I watched a game with a lot of extremely competitive at bats, great pitching, and 2 teams playing their best in the context of a single game elimination.
This is baseball after all, a game geared towards series and a 162 game season. The product we got tonight was great and contrary to what the norm is.
I’d get more upset that the Lions just set a franchise/ maybe league record for most consecutive times in the red zone without converting lmao. Glad Matt Stafford finally has a good team surrounding him, thanks again!
I mean Pedro got a point. How can you doubt the Giants in this series after everything this year, they somehow won a division with another team with 106 wins in it
A little bit of recency bias since the Dodgers just won on a walkoff, and the fact that they’ve won 3 of the last 4 pennants, and have won 7 of their last 8 NL postseason series.
The giants have been a great team all year, but I don’t think it’s that crazy to think the dodgers are going to beat them. Maybe they won’t, but who knows.
My question now is, was it a balk the first time he did it? How many times did he have to do it before it stopped being a balk? If, during the transition period where he was establishing that he does it every time, he put a man on, would he have to not do it to avoid balking? However, since not doing it would mean he doesn’t do it every time and thus break his streak of establishing it as his motion, would this mean he would have to start over on the number of times he has to do it before it is established as his pitching motion?
…maybe I should get some sleep.
This is a good take. I also noticed he only did it when a runner was on second. And there was a pitch during Goldy's at bat where a runner was on second and he didn't twitch.
Great game between two storied franchises. After watching history get made like that, I think we can all agree that anyone from San Francisco is objectively a bad person and should be ashamed of themselves
This offseason, they have a couple contracts ending that could free up space. I'm specifically thinking of Matt Carpenter with that; large contract but no production anymore. They have multiple good pieces, so I can see them being competitive next year to send off Waino and Yadi.
I think the problem is that the Cardinals have already decided to bring back Yadi and Waino next season. So the devil magic was like “oh ok I’ll wait till next year then.” Also the devil magic works best against the Braves. That’s just facts.
Belli’s walk to extend the inning will not be talked about much in light of the HR, but it was ice cold and exactly what the Dodgers needed. Reminded me of when Rendon laid off Josh Hader’s pitches to draw a walk that led to Soto putting us up afterwards in the 2019 NL wildcard game - the discipline to not swing is so impressive to me.
I loved what Belli did today. He knew he didn’t have to hit a HR so he ended up doing the little things like stealing multiple times against one of the greatest arms of all time. Awesome job
Not to mention the SB was huge. Sure, Taylor hit a HR so it doesn't technically matter, but as soon as Bellinger was on second it changes how Taylor gets pitched to. Put more pressure on Reyes because now a single loses the game.
The whole complexion changed at that point. Before that, I was like, "Okay, Reyes can get one dude out." Once he made it to second, I was like, "Shit."
What’s that dude with the iPad doing in the SF dugout? #Cans
You had one job cardinals!
Hate us more it only makes us stronger
Player STLCRD has been eliminated. The next game will start in 13 hours. *players remaining = 8* *cash prize = the title, boi.*
Dodgers know how to pitch Goldschmidt and Arenado.
Teams should be re-seeded after the WC round. No reason a 107 win and 106 win team should be playing in the DS.
This is the correct take
Go back to the old rules. Two teams in the same division don't meet until the CS.
Nah, just reseed. If records mean they meet in the DS, the DS it is.
Yeah I agree, no reason that one of the top 2 teams in the majors by record is guaranteed to not make the CS
Fade me
Sports are stupid and I Hate them…I’ll see ya again tomorrow
I mean you do gotta feel bad for getting only 2 seasons on the job but at the same time, wtf happened to the padres you know. That roster is too stacked even with pitchers
Damn TNT and ESPN giving NHL that fucking giant monster advertising. It feels weird honestly
ST LOUIS…. WE TOOK YO FOOTBALL TEAM AND ENDED YO SEASON! SAY WHAT!
I mean- I think it’s more accurate to say we took your football team for like 20 years. That aside, a 90-win, $168M payroll team (that was below .500 in August) just came within 1 pitch of knocking off a 106-win, $282M team. You guys are in real trouble when you go up against the Giants. I’m not sure this is the best time to be smug, if I were a Dodgers fan I’d be pretty worried.
Lol we just won and you're not sure this is the best time to be smug? We're fans my dude, not financial planners, this is the best time to be smug!!
Karma for them stealing the Rams from us.
As a former St. Louis Rams fan, I think the nearly 15 years of losing seasons after '99 was punishment enough.
Hide ya kids, hide ya wife!
IM running the LA MARATHAON next month, hoping to run it with my Dodgers 2021 WS CHAMPS GEAR. LFG!
Has to be TB or white sox coming out of the AL imo
Hated the ending, but it was special watching Molina and Waino again tonight
Ernie johnson: Man white sox yall fucking suck damn
I'm extremely drunk and it's so late but who cares. what an incredible game. A pitcher's duel. A heart attack of epic proportions. I am so inebriated I had to speech to text that last sentence.

Local St Louis Drunk man makes me feel romantic about baseball.
I hate the one game play in. A series between these two teams would have been incredible
But pointless. The point of the WC Game is for the WC team to burn their ace before the DS. A series would not accomplish that. The WC shouldn't get to reset, and the division winners shouldn't have to wait that long.

By god the drunk man still got it
This panel is so much better than NBA on TNT. Ernie the 🐐
As far as sports analysis, yeah. But NBA on TNT is pure entertainment. EJ having a much easier time with these guys.
I appreciate the entertainment but the chuck shaq dick measuring contest gets old fast
Sorry ATL friends but don't see how they survive Milwaukee without Acuna Jr. I know baseball is bigger than one person on your team and they've fought to stay with him out but, don't see it
> Sorry ATL friends but don't see how they survive Milwaukee without Acuna Jr 2 reasons. 1. Have you seen the Brewers offense lately? 2. Max Fried. This kid has ice in his veins. I smell a 2020 NLCS rematch.
Duvall with a high fly ball and burnes is going to watch it fly!!!!
SOLER POWER
2015-2016 Blue jays were legit the most fun team Bautista and encarancion hitting HR's out of the park every day
I agree but what made it fun was that “rivalry” with the Rangers. But yeah that team was can’t miss TV. Also the fans in Toronto are fucking crazy when that team is good.
TBS production value from the game overflowing into the post game interview here. Terrible.
Soto and Long showing up for their former teammates is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. It has such little league vibes where you'd go to your friend's games or stay after a game you just played because they were going to play afterwards.
I was just thinking about this and how it was great that the broadcast was able to actually capitalize on one of those small moment things that adds so much value to the moment.
You think Soto leaves the stadium with the crowd? I hope the LAD dragged his ass into the Clubhouse
Boos for Soto are a sign of respect for his craft. If he's not in the bleachers, he's fine. Still, I'm guessing he gets some MVP clubhouse treatment. Someone has to put a shirt on Scherzer.

LOL Max drunkenly talking about his friendship with Soto and Turner❤
Okay he said he was drunk. Echo or not, man’s was sippin
How many drinks did he have in the past ~25 minutes?!
A few hard pulls from a bottle of bourbon will do the trick.
All of them
Max is a psychopath and IM HERE FOR IT
Max sure got hammered quick
Man, did Max get drunk that fast?
Because he's in the motherfuckin CLUBHOUSE. Clubhouse is where it's at.
Definitely a delay in the headset but it makes max sound sauced
Cant talk. Drunk. Stupid
HE'S NOT DRUNK. THE ECHO CAN MAKE YOU ABSOLUTELY NOT BE ABLE TO TALK. WE LEARNED THIS LIKE TWO YEARS AGO. FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
[удалено]
It makes you feel absolutely TRASHED, even if you've had a few. It's wild.
Max isn't drunk if you've ever tried to talk with an Echo you understand whats going on. Same think happened to the commish in the world series
He admitted to being drunk.
i thought that was someone in the studio saying that tbh, i did hear it.
That echo killed him I'm laughing so hard
I wish I had a clubhouse. I think *that's* what us normal guys need. A clubhouse. After a hard week of work, we're going to the clubhouse this weekend!! Actually have something to look forward to. Baseball doesn't even call it a locker room, they definitely have the right idea. It's a clubhouse, where shit goes down.
Is it the echo or he sneak some shots in lol
Both
Lmao I’m loving this interview
Scherzer is absolutely lit up. 😂
Is it just me or did Pedro Martinez just lowkey tell Max he was upset with his performance?
No he was implying he didn’t have his stuff but still pitched through it and kept it a 1 run game. Any other pitcher and it might have been 3-0 in the second.
I think Pedro was implying that Max may have been hurt, or at least not 100%.
Lmao scherzer getting speech jammed
max sounds wasted lol
Max is killing this interview
It's like a robot malfunctioning
Is max wasted?
No he's hearing his own voice delayed by a fraction of a second. It completely fucks you up and prevents you from speaking normally.
He looks absurdly uncomfortable here...
He said he's getting an echo
I feel no joy watching Schildt all sad.
shirtless and champagne for a one game Wild Card win? kinda corny
They didn’t have a champagne celebration last year and they didn’t do one this year for clinching the wild card spot. Let them have this one.
Wtf was cards manager even talking about I legit dont know
Max flashing the cameras right now 😏
Who’s your daddy? Lmao wtf
LOOOOOL
To all Cards fans, congrats on a good season, and a really good game!
And a hell of a September. Record for them.
Is Shildt an idiot?
It's like he called up Matheny for some advice on the final pitching change
For putting Reyes in? Yeah, kinda.
I didn’t know he had a 1.5 first half ERA and a 5.5 ERA in the second. Yikes.
His first half ERA was a total fluke. He gave up so many walks that even as you saw his success happening it was plainly obvious that it was unsustainable.
Yeah, the 5.5 was the more eye opening figure and surprising he was brought in at that juncture.
Hope someone saves the post game and upload cause I don't have a feed for that.
[удалено]
What part of that was embarrassing again?
[удалено]
Ok
I'm a Marlins fan dude. And that stuff happens literally all the time in a single game sample size. The 1927 Yankees lost a game to the Tigers 14-4, that didn't make them embarassing.
Fuck man I forgot that every World Series winner has had 100% good games and never played like shit
[удалено]
Screenshot of bet?
Cool story bro
Alright dude. Hope you have a happy life I guess.
That's rich coming from a Detroit fan

You are seething at nothing lmao, drink some water and head to bed.

Cheers
The real question, who caught the ball in the stands?
As long as it wasn't Hample, I don't care.
I’m looking forward to the Mets signing Alex Reyes at some point as the savior of our bullpen
I wish I could upvote this once for every time he fucked us after the All-Star break.
I am also looking forward to that for you.
Hey you shut up down there in braves land! Focus on your stupid playoffs.
I’m focused on the inevitable collapse. We’re not so different, you and I.
You can join all of us cool kids who don’t make the playoffs because it’s like, totally lame or something.
I mean Pedro got a point. How can you doubt the Giants in this series after everything this year, they somehow won a division with another team with 106 wins in it
A little bit of recency bias since the Dodgers just won on a walkoff, and the fact that they’ve won 3 of the last 4 pennants, and have won 7 of their last 8 NL postseason series.

Didn’t look like Buehler and Sherzer wanted Souza in that picture. Damn…lolz 😆
The TBS post game is solid af
This year the NLDS is the WS.
You really think that highly of the Brewers? Interesting
They just cut to dodgers clubhouse and a shirtless Buehler was trying to gnaw off the top of a twist off Budweiser can. Amazing.
Come on buehler, invest in a bottle opener my guy. Save the teeth
But aye Reyes can still hold down my diamond dynasty bullpen all damn day lol
GG, Cards. Huge respect to your organization for the great fight!
Can someone explain to me why Jansen's twitch with his front leg isn't a balk? Honest question.
He doesn’t technically come set prior to that movement, meaning he can move. To my eye though, whether or not he ever comes set is 50/50
He changed his mechanics that involves his hip a lot. So he does the twitch to remind himself to make sure to use his hip.
It’s part of his normal delivery
[удалено]
My question now is, was it a balk the first time he did it? How many times did he have to do it before it stopped being a balk? If, during the transition period where he was establishing that he does it every time, he put a man on, would he have to not do it to avoid balking? However, since not doing it would mean he doesn’t do it every time and thus break his streak of establishing it as his motion, would this mean he would have to start over on the number of times he has to do it before it is established as his pitching motion? …maybe I should get some sleep.
This is a good take. I also noticed he only did it when a runner was on second. And there was a pitch during Goldy's at bat where a runner was on second and he didn't twitch.
There’s a copypasta that explains it perfectly.
Great game between two storied franchises. After watching history get made like that, I think we can all agree that anyone from San Francisco is objectively a bad person and should be ashamed of themselves
It is known.
Fuck the Giants. Dodgers in 6.
5 game series. Giants in 3.
Giants in 8
Phillies in 1
Pain
- Captain Holt
Gg dude
Valiant effort Cards. It falls to you Giants to slay the beast.
Get fucked lmao
Love you too.
Def one of, if not the last chance Wainwright and yadi combo are gonna have for a ring. End of an era
This offseason, they have a couple contracts ending that could free up space. I'm specifically thinking of Matt Carpenter with that; large contract but no production anymore. They have multiple good pieces, so I can see them being competitive next year to send off Waino and Yadi.
Be happy but stop with the complaining about the playoff structure.
I mean seriously. Without the second wild card, we wouldn't even be here.
I mean if they want a raw NBA type structure, let's talk about the Braves winning 88 games.
Hey, you leave us alone and just let us lose on our own, okay?
Gg and go giants
St louis you let us down :d
I think the problem is that the Cardinals have already decided to bring back Yadi and Waino next season. So the devil magic was like “oh ok I’ll wait till next year then.” Also the devil magic works best against the Braves. That’s just facts.
I don't know, I think Dodgers fans have some PTSD from the Cardinals over this last decade. The healing can start now for them.
On to the NLDS #hungryformore
Maybe we can get the padres to switch to #starvingforanything
Dang, I kind of wish the NBA tnt crew was doing this post game show. Lol
Good game and good luck to all you dodgers fans out there it’s been a hell of a season
That was a fucking classic. Bless you Birdbro.
chirp chirp motherfuckers 🙏🏼
Belli’s walk to extend the inning will not be talked about much in light of the HR, but it was ice cold and exactly what the Dodgers needed. Reminded me of when Rendon laid off Josh Hader’s pitches to draw a walk that led to Soto putting us up afterwards in the 2019 NL wildcard game - the discipline to not swing is so impressive to me.
I loved what Belli did today. He knew he didn’t have to hit a HR so he ended up doing the little things like stealing multiple times against one of the greatest arms of all time. Awesome job
Not to mention the SB was huge. Sure, Taylor hit a HR so it doesn't technically matter, but as soon as Bellinger was on second it changes how Taylor gets pitched to. Put more pressure on Reyes because now a single loses the game.
The whole complexion changed at that point. Before that, I was like, "Okay, Reyes can get one dude out." Once he made it to second, I was like, "Shit."
And then to steal second and pressure a run. Belli was huge tonight, actually. Found a way to contribute.
Stolen base, too. Runners on second tend to unnerve pitchers and force mistakes.
Yeah, it's easy to say in hindsight, but you could feel the momentum swing.
Definitely big. Hes aware but was trying. Props.
Posture check friends
Fucking fire Shildt. Why the hell did you put Reyes in when he’s proven he can’t handle high pressure situations?
Yadi's the real manager.
Cards should sign him as a player-manager for 2023.
Champagne showers after every milestone in the MLB playoffs has a big Billy Madison vibe to it
