I like this lineup for the Dodgers. More so because Puig is moved up in the batting order. The bottom of the lineup offensively may be a question mark, but I think they should at the very least make Quintana work. Kershaw should have the best game of his postseason career. |
The bottom of our lineup is a hell of a lot better than the one last night. |
If the Dodgers have a big first inning, Kershaw might get into his Cy Young zone. The lineup last night was Roberts trying out his failed AARP lineup. Dodgers have youth or prime players in this lineup. They've got to go to this type of lineup the rest of the postseason for both offensive and defensive reasons. |
I'll take the 1-1 split with that lineup. Got lucky in game 3..ANdre delivered but then he cost us the last game. Time to go back to what has worked. |

I read a report about an hour ago that the wind is blowing in a little bit tonight. So it could be a low-scoring game.

Guys we are without our All-Star shortstop in this series. Obviously our offense is going to suffer a little bit and not be as productive. You can't replace a guy like that.

Thank goodness the AARP lineup is gone. What the hell was Doc thinking with Chase Uterly Useless at This Point and Why Even Bother Swinging Granderson. That was a freaking mess.

Does not mean Granderson should ever see an AB with the Dodgers again. He had other options and instead sent Grandy out there to strike out 4 consecutive times.

I've never liked Granderson (as a player, he just looks so awkward when he does everything) and was so disappointed that we got him. |

Yeah, you'll at least get some good ABs from Forsythe and Barnes, and Hernandez might run into one. |

If you watched last night, you would know this is the best lineup we could field regardless of the fact it’s righty heavy.
Granderson/Grandal/Utley/Ethier/Pederson should not be starting. |
Barnes can hit against anybody, but statistically speaking, Forsythe and Hernandez are significantly worse against righties. Culberson, too. I still have faith in Ethier and Grandal for platoon matchups. Not sure about Pederson. And Utley is at least willing to get hit. I've given up on Granderson altogether. |

Kike you definitely can’t start against righties, but Utley looks absolutely awful, now hitless in the last two postseasons. I’ll take my chances with Forsythe despite his performance against righties this year. At least he works counts, which Utley admittedly did last night but he just can’t get a hit.
And I might amend my original statement by saying I wouldn’t mind Pederson starting against righties going forward. At least he’s done something unlike Granderson.

I just don't think the old guys can catch up to good pitches at this stage of the season. Utley at least has gotten himself on base. Granderson got one hit and then proceeded to do nothing the rest of the postseason... just like most of the end of the regular season. He might just be better off trying to bunt his way on base and force Bryant to make an error, which he's made a lot of this season.
The wind blowing in should help the Dodgers. The cubs have scored only on home runs the whole series and look too tired to manufacture any runs. Hopefully Kershaw is on his game and shuts them out. |

If they send Granderson up to the plate again, just take away his bat. His only chance of getting on base is to be hit by a pitch or to walk.

| Couple of people were asking about where to watch the game in OC before. Well Dave N Busters at the outlets in orange is a good place. They got the volume up nice and loud also. You can hear Darling whine and moan loudly lol. |

| Death, taxes, and the Dodgers failing to drive in a runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs. I almost wish Bellinger had stopped at 2nd. |

Should have got that runner in.
Hopefully Clayton can avoid the home run ball as I don't think they can string together hits off him.
