I have a bad feeling about Da Braves.
Could be 1988 all over again - no on saw that coming

I didn't think I was being selfish for just wanting this adjusted-season, expanded playoff World Series for the Dodgers, but I guess I was.

This isn't fun.

Braves up 3-2 but they just completely beefed a potential big inning by literally running into two outs with bonehead baserunning.

And then da Braves get out of a major jam to retain their lead.  They have had chances to blow this a bit open and whiffed, and they had chances the other way and didn't.

I can't watch.

I'm fascinated that they can detect the difference between a four seam and two seam fastball.  I'm pondering experimenting with a three seam fastball.

Of course, that only matters if you can throw 80 mph or higher.

I have hit a few times off a real 90 mph and the ball makes evil sounds.  Fortunately I knew the pitcher had good control.

Even a straight fastball at 90+ moves a lot.

I cannot hit a good curveball, I can hit a hanging curve very well.  Hats for bats, keep bats warm.

A right handers curve breaks in to me and I can't pick it up and adjust.  Of course I am old.  But leave that bad boy out over the plate and whack, I will nail it.

Betts just robbed Freeman of a HR. He has been outstanding in RF this series. Game changing plays.

The problem with using so many pitchers is one is likely to have a bad day.

That strike zone box on tv really illustrates how good these umps are at calling balls and strikes.

Not a dog in the fight but always good to see #1s square off even if it was a 60 game reg season. 

Lots of front office relationships bt  the Rays and Dodgers.    Thank God we won't need to see the tropic dome .

Whew.

You gotta respect a WS with two 1-seeds.  I don't care how wacky this season is, the Dodgers need a WS!
