Huge Dodger fan love the last 2 wins but I just wish they would have hit after the 1st inning. Started getting out front again. Doesn’t bode well for the change ups tomorrow. Need to adjust. 

 
wow. I don't think he'll be unemployed long. Made chicken salad ...

@Ken_Rosenthal: Marlins parting with president of baseball operations Michael Hill, a source tells The Athletic. Hill has been with the team since 2002, was named general manager in Sept. 2013 and served as one of only two Black heads of baseball operations in the majors.

 
OMG Riley.  That’s unbelievable - I just a PTSD flashback to Lonnie Smith.

*yes, I know the plays aren’t remotely the same other than bad base running and the fact that I wanted to throw the remote through the TV.

 
Frustrating that the Braves couldn’t figure out how to win a 4th game, but hats off to the Dodgers, they are really good in pretty much every phase of the game.IMO, their discipline at the plate was the difference in the series. Well that and all the home runs...and robbed home runs...and clutch outs.

Totally expected - rooting for Atlanta teams is an exercise in pain.  Only scoring 1 in the first, Riley’s base running blunder, Freddie 6 inches from a HR - it was going to be something just have to wait for it to play out to see what it will be.  

 
Not really much of a Dodgers fan even living in the LA area, but I sure am glad that they are going to the Series.  Gives me a little more reason to watch the games, be it in my own house or out and about with friends.  Definitely rooting for the Blue; got plenty of good friends who are huge fans.

I am the opposite.  I would rather root against the Dodgers because of all my friends that are Dodger fans.  It's always fun to be the dissenter in the group....hahahaha

Plus the Rays are a likeable team.

Even as an Astros fan I fully agree. Hated to see the 'Stros lose but happy for the Rays. They remind me a lot of the 2017 Astros or last years Nationals.  A bunch of guys loving the sport and just having fun. Love Arozarena. Plus, no Joe Kelly on the Rays.

I mean - the Dodgers have to win the WS one of these years, right?

No they don't.  Surprisingly so far Roberts hasn't caused them a series.  He tried over the last couple games with his bullpen and pitching strategies but they overcame it.  I am sure it will rear up at some point this series and give the Rays a game.

I'll be perfectly honest, even with having a fantasy baseball team, I knew hardly anything of the Braves (knew of Swanson and the stud Acuna) and know absolutely nothing of the Rays, other than this rookie is tearing the cover off the ball in the playoffs.

All the more reason to get behind them.  They are fun to watch.  Lots of great arms (get Glasnow in fantasy if you can.  He is a stud and will only get better) and every batter is a tough out.....

 
Urias was :moneybag:  in the NLCS. Interestingly he didn't strike anyone out last night. He struck out 5 in 5 inning in game 3.

Uhhh I get what you're saying but I'd much rather have my good friends and fans here locally amped up after not only the Lakers winning but the Dodgers finally breaking through too.

As a Vikings fan I don't want any other fan base I have to deal with daily amped up for their teams winning titles......they need to be miserable like me.  Afterall, misery loves company...hahhaa

 
I'm a Braves fan, and don't have a real rooting interest in the World Series.  I do have to say I'd like to see Kershaw pitch well and get a ring to get that Playoffs monkey off of his back.  If they were playing the Astros I'd probably buy a Dodgers hat.  :D

Pretty wild that Cash left Glasnow in there that long. Pretty much the opposite of what they’ve done forever.

Totally bizarre. I'm not a fan of what they did with Morton (less so Snell), and all the pitching changes/shifts/etc. that are all the rage these days. But then to go totally against that philosophy when Glasnow is bouncing sliders and 102 mph fastballs off Zunino's chest ... :shrug:

Really bizarre. Even more strange to go with the likely game 4 starter right after him. No idea what he’s doing tonight.
