    Question about that extra inning clown shit.

    Noticed Otani (the last batter from the previous inning) was the runner placed on second. Is that the rule or can you put your runner of choice out there?

    When Muncy came on the scene did so well early a lot of us (myself included) kept waiting for him to come back down to earth.

    Well, to quote Judge Smails, we're still waiting.

    Stripling again proves his value to this team. Best change I've ever seen from him.

    Not shocking that Pablo or any Giant for that matter, was involved in ass play on the field. Hope Taylor Lysoled his face.

    What the fuck is up with Kapler and this childish shit with the starting pitchers and the lineup card? What a douche. More proof that the guy who thinks he's the smartest one in the room usually isn't.

    0-60 isn't good enough for those fuckers.

    I thought Otani pitched yesterday. How was he running?
    Don't say "with two legs and two feet" you fuckers.

    On two legs with two feet. He was the DH, so they’re playing him even after throwing. That Olson/Chapman play to get him was pretty slick.

    I can’t emphasize enough how much I hate this playoff format and how it kind of ruined an already ruined season for me. Legit nothing matters we can get the 8 seed and have the same chance as the best record in the league.

    yeah it’s ridiculous. And in a 60 game season it’s hard to get separation so MLB could’ve had some exciting races during the last 2 weeks where you’d have multiple teams fighting for limited spots. Having fewer postseason spots would’ve been more exciting! Now they’re all just gonna get in and why try

    It’d be the most Dodgers thing ever to finally win it all in front of no one and then no parade happening either

    I was thinking the other day, what’s worse:
    Winning in a normal season in front of fans but then the next season not getting to raise the banner in front of fans and your title defense season not having fans and being shortened, not getting to enjoy that OR

    Winning a title in front of no fans but the next year is normal and you get to raise your banner in front of fans and everything

    If we were to win it all and we get a vaccine and/or Covid is under control, we should have a parade right before the season starts as a welcome back to normalcy

    I’d rather win the title in front of fans, and not have ceremonies then following season. But a title is a title, and I’m not going to complain about a title.

    Right. If we don’t win this year I wouldn’t be as upset as previous years because of everything going on, but if we did win I’d count it as a real championship a thousand percent lol

    I think Kapler is severely overrating the value his team gains. I can’t imagine hiding your starters consistently over the course of season without becoming predictable. Hopefully his players know ahead of time who’s starting, and if they warm up multiple guys hopefully the warmup fits into the routine of the guy not starting, otherwise he’s creating a clusterfuck for his own guys.

    I am happy that we aren’t platooning this year, so it really doesn’t matter for our lineup. But also, it’s the giants, no one cares who is starting.

    Wood was a good signing for one year but it’d be a disaster if we gave him a multi year deal after this. Let him go and turn to Urias, May and Gonsolin

    Wood still sucks, and always will. He had his apogee a few years ago with us, and will be a weak link, especially against the better teams.
    His pitch looks like a grapefruit hanging up there waiting to get barrelled up, imo.
