Hello. Welcome to another edition of the Dodgers Dugout. my name is houston mitchelland it shouldn’t be too surprising that the Phillies came back strong in Game 3.
–After all, it’s no coincidence that the Phillies won 96 games.
-if Kyle Schwarber‘s bat woke up, making it much harder for the Dodgers to win.
–Okay, someone needs to wake up. Shohei Otanibat. He had one hit in 14 at-bats and six strikeouts in the NLDS.
–Some fans are hoping that the Dodgers will put Ohtani on the starting mound tomorrow. I disagree. tyler glasnow is the correct decision. blake snell Start Game 5 if necessary. Game 4 was not enough rest for Ohtani.
–Ohtani is swinging with pitches that are way out of the zone, which is what he does when he’s in a slump. Hopefully it’s short-lived.
–Ohtani is currently batting .214 in 21 postseason games.
–The Dodgers had a chance to put the Phillies in a big hole in the first inning. mookie betts If you get tripled with one out, you need to score that run in the postseason. but Teoscar Hernandez Freddie Freeman struck out, Freddie Freeman was hit by a pitch, Will Smith I struck out.
–Betts is hitting .409 this postseason.
Q: I know I picked the Dodgers over five games, but I don’t think I’d want to go back to Philadelphia, where they’re 2-0.
–Please let someone Andy Pages Know that it’s okay to take a hit. when you have Miguel Rojas Batting for you, that’s not a good sign.
–I still like being a TBS announcer, but I don’t like being a live commentary guy. brian anderson I don’t know if a fly ball is a home run or not.
–This is what Dodgers fans were taught. Vin Scully: Don’t watch the ball, watch the outfielder.
–It was difficult to watch. clayton kershaw Left there to be beaten.
—I didn’t picture Kershaw as the person for the role. brent honeywell role this postseason.
–To you who are angry about this dave roberts Apparently they got Kershaw out and punted the game, but have they forgotten about last season? He did the same thing back then during the postseason, including during the World Series.
-It seems to me that Kershaw is more than worthy of the role, but I don’t know what conversations took place between Roberts and Kershaw before the series or Game 3. Perhaps Kershaw volunteered to take it on for the team. He’s the type of guy who does that kind of thing.
– “He didn’t have a great slider tonight,” Roberts said. “Clayton threw a slider. He worked behind the scenes as well. That command wasn’t there tonight.”
–One of the reasons Kershaw was left out is because the Phillies have a lot of left-handed hitters. tanner scott Unavailable due to personal reasons. alex shutter He appeared in the final two games. Kershaw was the only left-handed pitcher available at that time.
-Kershaw’s total postseason ERA is 4.63 in 196.1 innings.
—Yoshinobu Yamamoto That wasn’t the case in Game 3. He only had two strikeouts and couldn’t fool many batters. That kind of thing happens sometimes.
–That’s not actually the case, but for some reason, Game 4 feels like a game you have to win.
-perhaps Reg Rothvedt This is the Dodgers’ lucky charm and should start every game. Will Smith Enter around the 5th inning.
–Judging from the responses you received, that’s certainly true. morning The only person who likes Limu emulators (and Doug).
—anthony banda He looked strong in his short outing.
–To defeat the Phillies ace Christopher Sanchez Today, the Dodgers need him to do what they did to him in Game 1 (and what they couldn’t do in Game 3). Calculate the count, increase his pitch count, and get him out of the game by the end of the sixth inning.
“Obviously, there’s still a lot of pressure on us, but pressure is a privilege,” Betts said. “We’re going to do what we always do. Tomorrow is a new day.”
— Remember, this is how it should be fun.
