[Santana]

Even if Jansen had backed up he wouldn't have gotten that ball in time. That winning run was on Smith. That said Jansen can't close again this series.

fu** , didn't realise Arozarena tripped over too

Yeah he was dead in the water - massive blunder by smith

 

[FRUMPY]

Glasnow not getting it done these last few series

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Glasnow just doesn’t look threatening enough for a game 1/5 ace.

98-100mph fastballs are handy but a fat strike is still a fat strike to hit

Correct. It’s a fair gap between his best and worst at the moment. The walks and consequent high pitch count, which haven’t really improved much yet today, are also a concern.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

That Kershaw strikeout call makes me want to spew.

 

[twotooto]

Glasnow has all of the tools to be an ace starter...just needs to develop a decent changeup(IMO). And yeah, way too many walks.

 

[Back One Out]

Sheer greatness! Bamboozled the batter and the umpire!

 

[Back One Out]

FRUMPY , quick question, probably a dumb question, just something I've always wondered about

When the batter makes contact and takes off for 1st base, but gets thrown out, is there ever a situation where the runner on 3rd base scores a run?
I mean, they can steal home, right? So why can't they also score if they get a nice lead and touch home plate before the throw gets to 1st?

Is it just a simple black and white rule: the batter must be safe on first for any runner to score ?

 

[twotooto]

Run will score if less than two outs. With two outs it won't count.

Yeah as twotooto said - if the batter being thrown out at 1st base is the 3rd out then the run wont score. If it is the 1st or 2nd out then the run scores as long as they score before a 3rd out is recorded

 

[FRUMPY]

Another error by taylor could be costly

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Taylor misfielding like it’s a ninth inning again.

 

[Back One Out]

FFS Adames, you hack!

 

[FRUMPY]

Does the tag to the helmet not on his head still count

 

[QuietB]

This series is wild - who tries to steal home like that

On replay, Kershaw does do a big windup but yeah dumb decision - not sure he is that fast a runner either is he?

He’s more ballsy than I thought I’ll give him that.

 

[Back One Out]

Geez, Kershaw dodged a bullet in that innings

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Not scoring after having a runner on third with no outs is a massive win to LA though.

Gave me the heebie jeebies - reminds me of the braves in the NCLS
