The amount of pressure Kershaw has for this next game... It very well might end up defining his career. Win or lose.

Popete posted:Also, Russians watch baseball? I remember a 1993 Topps card with a trio of Russian prospects. While looking that up, turns out that MLB has a story on the guys on it. MLB posted:Bob Fontaine Jr. entered the scene in 1990. The director of scouting for the California Angels was always thinking outside the box and outside the border. He and the Angels' farm director, Bill Bavasi, wanted to find new talent for their Major League team ... anywhere.

it is clear that having one of two ownership groups willing to spend money, a top front office, an absurdly stacked roster, a rotation topped by a faded but still effective pitcher who is one of the greatest in the history of the sport, and mookie loving betts is not enough for the dodgers to handle whatever curse they are dealing with. It is a crazy season, and rob manfred should offer to give the dodgers one more advantage to stop them from being the perennial choking toilet team. That's right, i am proposing that the dodgers should be allowed to bang cans.

When Roberts was walking out to the mound before Arozarena's AB, Jansen clearly said 'gently caress him' angrily. Unsure who he was referring to lol

Kevlar v2.0 posted:The winning runner falling down while heading home reminded me of this Cubs game from nearly 20 years ago, which also had the added craziness of their celebrity 7th inning stretch singer being removed from the stadium for threatening Angel Hernandez after a bad call: I'm glad someone got to that one before I did. I remember watching that live and being utterly confused at how it ended in a Cubs win. So bizarre.

The play last night was so nuts my non baseball watching (other than what I force her to) wife just asked if Jomboy had a video up for it yet. Side note - my wife likes Jomboy breakdown vids in part cause she thinks he sounds like the guy that played Nick on "New Girl" and I can never not hear that now.

That whole bottom half of the inning was nuts before the play even happened. Tsutsugo making an appearance for... reasons? Kiermaier literally inching out a hit from the outstretched Hernandez. Wendle hitting a loving rocket, robbed by a great jump and running catch. Arozarena coming back from a 1-2 count to walk. And then magic. Just nuts.

It took a few more Dodgers singles to complete the 9th-inning collapse, but Matt Holliday's error for the Cardinals in 2009 came to mind.

Excerpt from Posnanski's article about the game. All us Dodger fans are Eeyore:Joe Posnanski posted:It just kept getting wilder and wilder. The Dodgers took the lead back in the seventh when Joc Pederson’s base-loaded single — all hail the single! — scored Seager and Turner. https://theathletic.com/2159486/2020/10/25/posnanski-game-4-rays-dodgers-epic-battle/?source=emp_shared_article

The Baez thing is ridiculous and reminds me of Dave accidentally removing Rich Hill because of a miscommunication. But ultimately it was a complete defensive meltdown on the play that cost that game. Dodgers either losing this series now or win in 7 with Herculean starts from Kersh and Buehler

I honestly thought they still had it even after the hit because they could have gotten ahead in the 10th again. Then they replaced their players with Larry, Curly and Moe...

Before that 9th inning I was thinking how low-stress this series had been and how weird it would be for them to finally win it all without being loving terrified. So much for that!

people say that overtime playoff hockey is the most stressful and i understand because it all can end at any second out of nowhere and everyone's flying around, but postseason baseball is the worst, just an unceasing creeping dread for four hours.

During the rain delay in game 7 of the 2016 World Series, while everyone else in the stands went for cover in the concourses at Progressive Field, I just sat there in a nearly-empty section and let the freezing cold rain pour over me as I thought about how miserable it was that the Cubs blew that lead, and how they would come so close yet again without crossing that threshold of a championship Fortunately, things turned around next inning.

With that Kershaw is almost certainly gonna end the 2020 postseason with an ERA under 3 and a WHIP under 1. Both are higher than his regular season numbers, obviously. But yeah, makes me happy. Hope he gets his ring and we can all stop pretending his legacy will be anything other 'was the best pitcher of his generation and one of the best lefties since integration.' I really hate his post-season struggles just because I think it makes people forget just how bananas his career has actually been.
