3-3 in the 3rd.

And the 3 LAD runs have all come via a 3R Ohtani 3R HR

[Frayed Knot]

A (non) pitchers duel is erupting in LA.

Dylan Cease (SDP): 5 ER in 3 1 IP

Yamamoto: 5 ER in 3 0 IP



And, yes, Ohtani has a 3R HR

SD, who went 8-5 v the Dodgers in ths regular season, -5 Dodgers in the 7th

Not worried about the Dodgers. They're our next bitches.

[Frayed Knot]

Their pitching is certainly suspect.

[metirish]

Pades up 1- 0 in the 1st. Profar just made a great into the crowd HR catch and then played the crowd

[Frayed Knot]

Now 3-0

But they were up 3-0 early in the game last night too.

[metirish]

[Frayed Knot]

3 - 1 Sandy Eggo end of 3rd

[metirish]

Padres hammer LA , Dodgers fans are awful ,throwing stuff at the Padre outfielders, these teams really don't like each other

[Edgy MD]

I played the piano on your asses.

I'm rooting for the Dodgers tonight because I don't want our next opponent to have the extra couple of days of rest.

[Frayed Knot]

Well Mookie Betts HR'd as the second batter of the game so they're off to a good start.

This makes sense to me too. Regardless of who we face Sunday I'd like them to have to play one more time and spend their best starters/relievers to get there.

[Frayed Knot]

5 - 0 Dodgers, top 4

[Fman99]

Dodgers win big, game 5 tomorrow.

Kike Hernandez HRs of Darvish in bottom 2 for a 1-0 LAD lead. Yamamoto is on the hill for the Dodgers.



IMO the Pads are the better team right now so I'm pulling for LA. Despite the billion or so dollars they spent for various superstars, the Dodgers still wound up with half a lineup and half a rotation.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, but lack of pitching depth traditionally can be papered over in the post-season.



I'm curious if the return of Kodai Senga is taken as a challenge by Ohtani to get back on the mound. I imagine not — I doubt the Dodgers are going to go there — but it'd be interesting if he tries to make the case.

I'm with you. I fear the Padres. Not so much the Dodgers.

Sometimes.

They used eight pitchers to toss a shutout in Game 4 and are shutting out the Pads thru 7 tonight.

On the other hand, they gave up 5, 10, and 6 in the first three games so that mixing and matching thing works ... except when it doesn't.

[Edgy MD]

They were 2-4 vs. the Dodgers this season, and 5-1 vs. the Padres.



It is, of course, a small sample size, and may be more about when they caught the two teams. The locked up with the Dodgers at a pretty low point in late May.

Pirate pitcher Bob Veale, talking about the 1960 World Series, in which the MFYs set offense records but Pittsburgh won, said it best, "Good pitching stops good hitting. And vice Versa".

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Now 2-0 Dodgers on solo HRs by the Hernandi: Kike and Teoscar

Only six hits combined so far. Going to bottom 8

[Gwreck]

Dodgers win. Game 1 Sunday in LA at 8:15 PM.

[Frayed Knot]

NY, NY, LA and ?? [DET or CLE]

Well the networks are going to be happy anyway.

Pads get shut out in their final 18 innings.
