Radio pregame had audio of Ron Darling saying “yes” very audibly twice when Bellinger hit that pitch last night.
Not imploding, but they certainly gotta be tired. They had a bullpen game in G1, had to cover 4+ innings in each of G2 and G3, and they have another bullpen game in G5. I don't care if they have 8 Mariano Riveras down there they are gonna get worn down. And Urias pitched in G2 after throwing a lot of innings this year, plus Scherzer has a dead arm. I mean they can certainly still overcome all that, but I still like our chances a lot
I mean, every team thinks the national announcers are against their team. Other than openly building up Pujols to do something anytime he comes to the plate, I don’t see it. Ron Darling is one of the best in the game. He was probably yelling “yes” as in “he got it” rather than it being celebratory.
I don't know that the TBS crew is pro-Dodgers or anti-Braves or anything. I think the way I'd phrase it is that the media views the Dodgers as the protagonists of this series, and the Braves are just supporting characters in the drama. You can care a lot about a supporting character, but at the end of the day it's the protagonist's story, and it's pretty clear who the main character is here.
The worst game to throw a BP is the middle game of a 3 game stretch. I wonder if the Dodgers were onto something when they went with a BP game in game 1 vs game 4, or if their pitching usage dictated it.
Ozzie, it's time... hurt this lhp
Freddie playing his best in LA. FF to Angels confirmed?
weak AB from Ozzie
Swanson and Ozzie, great job on weak pop ups.
Terrible strike one call against Ozzie though
