Robert's botched the 7th game of the series with the Astros by starting Darvish

You all are making me nostalgic for best burrito or Water pH threads....calvin booth anyone? some threads just never die.

Mr. May strikes again. Lol. I love Playoff Kershaw.

This thread is definite proof that Cal football is dead, at least for this season!

Dodger bats awake! 7 runs in the 6th all with two outs and two strikes.
GO DODGERS!

Serious question for Dodger fans:

Scherzer just got through the 7th, but he's probably done. You trail by 5. If you can't get 6 in the next two innings, you head home but the Nats have Strasburg on almost full rest (4 days).

What's your concern level, 1-10, at this moment?

5 but it goes up if Roberts keeps pitching Baez

Pedro Baez is my favorite Dodger.

5 sounds right. I'd trust that lineup, plus Buehler.

Before I answer your question, I'll say that my expectation for winning a WS title (before the playoffs began) was a 1 with a 0 being not at all confident and a 10 being supremely confident.

As for this series and a game 5, I think it's a 50/50 proposition with Strasburg going. The Nats are set up to be a very dangerous post-season team with their top 2 starters plus a very effective Corbin. Would be disappointing for the Dodgers to lose the NLDS series but not a total shocker.

Yes, a solid team. In fact before the series I did a little digging. Over their last 112 (which marks the start of the Nats turnaround) both teams were 74-48, a 104 win pace. You can't discount two months, but for the last 4 months these were two very good and very even teams.

Nats are a good team. They are not as good as the Dodgers, but almost. The series shows that. If the Nats had a bullpen they would not have been the wild card. In a 7 game series the Dodgers take them easily but these 5 game series are another story. Dodgers have to rely on Buehler tomorrow and hope the offense does what it is capable of. I am worried but I have to say I will be surprised if the Dodgers don't pull it off at home. I am gonna say Dodgers fall behind and win it on a walk off.

Two very good young pitchers but I think the pressure gets to Buehler in the fourth. Strasburg goes 7 and Nats win 4-2.

Hope I'm wrong

GO DODGERS

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Where are all the dodgers fans going? It's not over. Cmon believe dodgers fans

Wow.

Kendrick with the granny in the 10th.

Kendrick grand slam!!!! Hell yeah! 7-3 Washington!

I don't care who wins as long as it isn't the Dodgers. Nats up 7-3!! Thanks Clayton

I'm seriously so over Dave Roberts. He brings in Kershaw (worst playoff pitcher ever) and Kelly (worst pitcher on the roster) with the series on the line, It's like he was trying to lose. Fire him tonight.

Friedman continues to go cheap on the bullpen year after year.

Roberts letting Kersh pitch to 2 straight HR hitters.

Kelly was bad all year. Kenley wasn't much better.

Good night now.

Only silver lining is that Howie had a career moment. He was basically the scapegoat all series. But I always appreciated the way he approached the game. Happy for him., Back to more pleasant topics -- the Cal offense.

Lmfaaaaaooooo i love it

I feel like after a point it's almost better to be consistently and predictably bad than consistently good but never good enough.

That was better than sex.

Oh well. Roberts does a decent job with position players but sucks with the bull pen . I've been saying for three years to get rid of Roberts. Feel sorry for Kershaw but he should not have been put in that position.

LA has lost !! Beat LA has happened!

We are Cal and Dodgers fans. We get both.

Hey Bryce, how are you doing?

31 years...it won't be long until the Dodgers' championship drought is old enough to run for President.

Congratulations on another division title to the Los Angeles Braves.

Another example of the clearly better team losing in a short playoff series.
