***Official Los Angeles Dodgers 2024 Thread*** 8 to go. On to the NLCS!!!!!

[snkrfollower]

I've been saying it all day here in LV as people were chatting me up while I was wearing my Fernando jersey that if the Dodgers won tonight we absolutely win this series on Friday. After their performance today, almost top to bottom (not you, CT3...) I am positive of that prediction.

LFG

Dodgers gotta score early and not let them score early. Hold on to any lead and have the pressure on the Padres.

Score runs early and make San Diego feel the pressure and begin pressing at the plate.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Run it back?

I dont trust Yamamoto. Padres have been rocking him since the Korea series.

 

[pmatic]

I rather have Flaherty, but I think it will be Yamamoto because that's why they switched Yamamoto and Flaherty in games one and two in the first place.

 

[tupac003]

Same on Friday please...

My worry is we haven't beat Darvish in a while. Hoping seeing him a second time in 6 days will help.

Bruh.

Proud of our bullpen. **** them down!!

Wouldn’t mind giving Yama second chance. But going to bullpen right when we see a few on base

 

[kvsm23vs24]

 

[tupac003]

Darvish is the key...if he does what he did in game 2 we are cooked. Plus thier high leverage pen guys are rested.

Friday is gonna take a few months off my life....

10000% Shohei has Mamba Mentality.
I guaaaarontee this is how he feels.
"We won the series? No? Just tied it up? Cool. No reason to celebrate."

 

[lawdog1]

We need 2017 World Series Game 7 Darvish to show up on Friday.

Some of these stats are crazy.

On top of this no team with a bye has won an NLDS since the format has changed..

 

[lovehateself]

save us dekopin

 

[DsLee]

Darvish won't be on full rest, but his numbers don't look that different with a day less of rest. Take pitches, gamble less, and try to get him out by the 5th. Just hoping Jack/Yoshi is locked in...

 

[defconzero]

I like Yoshi getting like the first 3 innings and then having Jack come in for another 3-4.

Or switch those around as it always feels like Yamamoto takes a couple of innings to get settled into the game

 

[defconzero]

Looking at the comments from the beginning of the game to now is quality entertainment.

(I get it.)

That's the thing with playoff baseball though, every ******* inning feels like do or die lol

 

[kvsm23vs24]

It really does. When we were up 5-0 I was still sweating it. Especially when they had RISP

 

[mr jordan04]

Doesn’t matter who pitches, if they score on the dodgers early all of a sudden the pressure just gets multiplied.

You don’t want to give the Padres any early confidence and start with their shenanigans

why use both of are starters. theres games on sunday/monday when we win.

It would be ideal to “save” one but there is no game Sunday/Monday if you don’t get past Friday

 

[lpheat22]

Tough call especially since we’re short staffed but right now I trust Buehler to handle game 1 and give a combo of Jack/Yama

 

[DsLee]

If they make the NLCS it'll be interesting because the Mets finally get a little bit of a break. I'm sure they'd rather keep playing as they've been on a roll, so I'm wondering if it'll impact them or not.

Yup, we worry about who starts the NLCS when Game 5 is won and done.

In my opinion, it should be all hands on deck (probably except for Walker) for Game 5.
