Cruzer 1,992 Posted October 26, 2017 I'd say it's the Dodgers' stout staff, and part of it is I'm sure - but the Stros bats have sucked ass on the road for 2 straight series now. On a side note, John Smoltz is really damn good in the booth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted October 26, 2017 I don't have the #'s, but I'd be curious to see them - on save % of closers asked to go 6 outs. As soon as they said Jansen had only ever had one 6 out save before - I suspected trouble....... Regardless - we have a Series now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted October 26, 2017 Steve Garvey gets it, and I agree. https://sports.yahoo.com/steve-garvey-blames-dodgers-loss-game-2-millennial-baseball-074225129.html A lot of it made no sense in the context of last night's game though. It doesn't make much sense to blame a lack of sacrifice bunts and hit and runs when your team literally had TWO hits in the first nine innings...and both were home runs. Who exactly were they supposed to bunt over? You need a runner on base for a hit and run. As for strikeouts, the Dodgers struck out 11 times in 11 innings, not exactly some absurd number that didn't happen back in the good ole days Garvey longs for. Even game one didn't really fit...the Dodgers struck out just 5 times, and hit 13 ground ball outs against just 5 fly ball outs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn near dead ass last in both team batting avg. and strike outs - if we didn't go yard, we didn't score... Couple that with our dong sucking bullpen - it was rough.
