Roberts is overmanaging this. He’s starting Knebel instead of Urias. Probably to counter the Giants righty lineup … but that said lineup hasn’t hit Urias in like 4 starts? So why?

It’s going to be interesting to see how Kapler responds. He should really just stay the course. If he goes full line change after the opener costing players and depth for the later inning situations Dave actually wins this.

Is Urias injured? Seems kind of weird for LA to make it random bullpen game instead. Astros now in trouble it would seem with ace McCullers injured and out of ALCS. Giants win, Astros bounced by Red Sox, Braves lose to Giants, making it a San Fran-Boston WS. Hoping!

Simply an analytics driven move to try and out-think the analytic driven Giants.

Y’all will be shocked to hear my confidence level is at zero. I’ve been saying for months the Dodgers will catch the Giants … just so happens it’s going to be in the playoffs now.

I get it, but there's no shame in losing to this Dodgers team, which is probably one of the most if not the most talented team ever assembled. Giants weren't ever supposed to be in this position.

What Im more pissed about is our reward for having the best record on baseball is playing by far the 2nd best team for our first playoff series. Hopefully they rework the playoff seeding where the 3 division winners still make the playoffs, but your playoff seeding is based off of record. It's just bullcrap a 107 win team has to play the 106 win team first round.

100 this. And you know seldom a word is gonna be said if the Giants lose but it will be an absolute travesty everyone talks about if the mighty Dodgers go down.

David giving Gabe all night to get into his own head. And lol the replies “SUCH CLASS MUCH RESPECT!” There’s no class here, it’s gamesmanship.

Game on. Hopefully Gabe reacts the right way.

Classic Kafka trap. If he tells him the night before, it's gamesmanship. If he waits until lineups are announced, it's gamesmanship. No matter when he makes the announcement, it's gamesmanship.

HOLY SPORTSBALL it's like it's all some kind of game!

 

[SLAB]

They’re never going to score a runner in scoring position again.

 

[The_Jamal]

Webb is so ****ing fun to watch pitch

 

[SLAB]

I’m so sick of Yaz

 

[The_Jamal]

I swear there's literally been like 20 flyballs that have felt like HR's in this series. jesus

 

[Kingz19]

Again, everything off the bat of Taylor looks like it’s leaving the yard by a mile and they keep ending up on the warning track

 

[LoungeLizard]

Let’s freaking gooooooo!!! Wake up bats. We need runssssss!

 

[PurpleHaze]

That lollipop throw by Webb to first base to get big last out in 4th had me almost chocking on my chicken wing!

 

[SLAB]

BALL SIX FFFFFFFFF

 

[SLAB]

Doug Eddings Dodgers MVP I hate everything

 

[PurpleHaze]

Webb 51 pitches thru 5 innings. Another masterful performance. Come on Giants bats - wake up!! Webb doing his part again - so far.
CORRECTION: 72 pitches (that tiny box showing hard to see).

 

[SLAB]

This umpire is going to make damn sure the Giants lose.

Giants helping out with their pathetic non-HR hitting lineup.

 

[Kingz19]

Well, the wide strike zone for Dodgers pitching has arrived

 

[LoungeLizard]

I fear our lack of hitting is going to bite us tonight.

 

[SLAB]

Over

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Ffffffffff.
I liked Betts a lot better 2 years ago.

 

[Kingz19]

Great performance by Webb pitching and fielding his position in a huge game. Unfortunately it may turn out he had to be perfect.

Too bad the offense has been easily schemed against because they are incapable of manufacturing a run when they aren’t leaving the yard.

 

[SLAB]

LETS GOOOOOOO

 

[LoungeLizard]

Rufffffffffff!!!!!!!

 

[Kingz19]

Well, I guess that’s the old fashioned way to manufacture a run but I’ll take it

Ruf!

 

[SLAB]

KB sees the $$$$ signs rebuilding.

 

[SLAB]

Slater and Yaz are just black holes in the lineup.

 

[SLAB]

Win or Lose, Logan Webb is a certified BAMF.
