    I’m so nervous already.

    To the guy who said he’s not getting suckered into this year’s team, how do you do that? I wish I could.

    You're kidding, right?

    I despise Krukow and Kuiper. Living in Northern CA, for years I've suffered through their homerism-laden broadcasts on KNBR. This year, my goal was to try to get through the season without once hearing them talk, and other than some lame TV ad series featuring Posey and his wife that they appear in, I can proudly say I succeeded. Big thanks to Sirius radio though, thereby rendering KNBR useless. I should have subscribed years ago.

    I mute the TV when they come on Baseball Tonight. Avoid their voices at all costs.

    Tonight will be interesting:

    Buehler and Rox: This will be the 6th time this season that the two have faced off and 3rd time in 3 weeks. Rox have only touched Buehler up at Coors, but in their last meeting really made him work early before adjustments were made and Buehler mowed them down. 3 of the Rockies hottest hitters right now are Dahl, Blackmon and Cargo, all LHH. Buehler has near duplicate split numbers. Cargo chases up when he is pressing or things are tight, maybe in the big game work him up and out of the zone with the FB. Trevor Story is back and he has made some very loud contact against Buehler. Arenado also seems to be doing a lot better after the last time the team was in town, though he is still making some bad throws.

    Marquez and Dodgers: 4th time that these two will be matching up this season and first since June. Marquez loves to pitch in LA where this season he has 15 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 14 K's and 3 BB. Dodgers hitters have a brutal .645 OPS against Marquez with Bellinger and Turner leading the charge with a combined 3-26 against(Both are 0-15 this season), but with a HR from JT. Joc has had the most success with 2 HR's in 11 PA. Other players with HR's are Puig, Muncy and Hernandez. Marquez is quietly viewed as one of the best pitchers in the game that most folks have never heard of. He had two brutal months early, but has been near lights out since the start of July. Has been a guy that will give up a decent bit of contact, but would limit it, then all the sudden has turned it up and been mowing guys down including 70 K's over his last 48.2.

    Tonight is not going to be an easy feat. These are two young pitchers that both seem to want the ball in the big game. Big flys will probably be hard to come by so it is going to come down to who can hit with RISP. Yeah... I don't like how that sounds either.

    was just perusing the Dodgers pitching stats and learned that not a single Dodger starter qualified for any pitching stats this year. Clayton has 161.1 innings after being out for so long and Davey's round robin style of yanking anyone too soon if they're dealing and too late if they're serving it up means that all Dodgers pitchers should be very well rested... for the off season

    All season I’ve had this irrational thought that Buehler will fucking shove in the playoffs. I hope I’m right

    my greatest fear is the offense though. Marquez is good but our lefties hopefully have a great approach against him. I think they can be great against the Rockies bullpen but that means they’ll need to have great at bats against Marquez

    I've been thinking the same thing about him, but I still have a REALLY bad feeling about today for some reason(I honestly think the Rockies are going to hammer us, idk why, just my feeling). The LHH's have sorta not been great lately and that is the sided hitter that have done the most damage to Marquez. The RHH's have been what has carried us lately as teams tried to load up the LHP's against us. We will see what happens, but I am already annoyed over the number of texts I've received from overly confident Rockies fans.

    Dodgers/Rockies went a combined 9-3 vs the Braves in the regular season.

    Such a big game today for many reasons. Winner is favored to make the NLCS while the loser has to play a very difficult road game tomorrow just to play a really good team in the NLDS. Hard to imagine today's loser having a long postseason.

    I honestly don't need another career of "yeah, but he can't compete in the big games"

    THAT IS WHAT IS SOOO ANNOYING ABOUT IT ALL! These are people who did not give a shit about this team until about 2 weeks ago, dropped off after the Dodgers series and then came running back during the Phillies series. The fiance and I went to dinner on Friday to a local brewery. There was a table with 5 guys sitting next to us, each with one piece of Rockies attire on. They were cheering loudly and annoyingly for what is normally a quiet spot. Every time the Rockies did something, the cheering would start, but oh my god when they started talking is when I wanted to tell them to really shut the fuck up.
    "Dale hit another HR!"
    "That is 5 straight!"
    "That's the MLB record!!"

    This is the best example, but they continued to butcher names and say just stupid fucking shit. And, if the Rockies lose today and lose tomorrow, sports talk radio in this town won't say the word Rockies again until February 14th. That would be the news update to say that the Rockies started ST between who the Broncos should draft with the 11th pick in the 1st round.
