So happy that piece of shit Pollock is benched! Huge blow for Washington to have their best player on the bench.
would almost prefer taylor instead of lux small sample size but ct 2-for-8 2 xbh vs scherzer 4k though so kinda all or nothing...
@billplunkettocr #Dodgers lineup history v Max Scherzer: Pederson -- 3 for 17 (.176), 1 HR, 6 Ks Muncy -- 3 for 9 (.333), 1 HR, 2 Ks Turner -- 3 for 6 (.500), 2 HR, 1 K Bellinger -- 1 for 11 (.091), 7 Ks Seager -- 1 for 12 (.083), 2 Ks Beaty -- Never faced Lux -- 0 for 1, 1 K Smith -- Never faced Those Seager/Bellinger numbers just look like their normal playoff numbers. Of course Max/JT have the best stats.
Crazy if you really think about it, juiced ball or not, 1-4 in this lineup averaged 36 HRs this season. Or 1-5 averaged 33 HRs. That's with a couple IL stints and one guy sitting against practically every lefty.
I'd rather have Freese over Lux, but I guess this way you tempt Washington to go to Doolittle and you get better defense... so I'm not going to complain too much (until Max strikes Lux out 3 times). I like Beaty in there. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.
If we’re going off how Lux/Freese have done this series, it’s not a huge gap in their performance. Lux had a great pinch hit home run and then didn’t do anything offensively against Stras. Freese didn’t do anything against Corbin and then got 3 nice hits yesterday off the bench. Keeping in mind Scherzers splits, I think I prefer Lux starting and keep Freese to face Doolittle if it comes to that
You can sit right behind the Dodger dugout for less than $100. That's awesome. No excuses for DC fans. It's a 6:40 local time start
What's better than playoff baseball? Playoff baseball and pre-empting a Star wars marathon for a bunch of nerds on TNT
