At least Treinen finally rewarded my delusional praying that he would turn it around (sorta ... close enough!) based solely on his past three seasons with zero statistical reasoning, lol.

Unsurprisingly, despite whatever struggles, opposing managers want nothing to with Ohtani against any righty and even normal lefties are nibbling.

As an added bonus of not blowing the game open, the Dodgers saw all their leverage arms and had good swings, IMO.

So happy to get a win out of this. They deserved it, but it's the kind of game that they lose in pre-2024 years and this regular season.

My theory on Blake is that he's too busy micromanaging his game plan during every second of the game to get nervous in the playoffs.

Offense does need to do better, but also ... I mean, Muncy did basically have the death blow. Just ... baseball happened.

I will mass stream Blake Snell's rap songs like a K-pop stan for this.

Yeah, see, logic doesn't work at all. Fuck my life. Oh my god.

Holy shit, dude. My heart rate. Even watching it delayed and skipping breaks, I couldn't write the recap as I watched towards the end. I hate this fucking sport.

For one day, Brice Turang, you are my favorite player.

Holy shit.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO BLAKE

I'LL STORM A GOVERNMENT BUILDING OF YOUR CHOICE WITH YOU BABY COME ON

GET FUCKED

Okay, they have a shot at this at least.

As I watch Treinen come in, I assume people are melting down, but I kinda agree Roki doesn't have it right now, and when he can only land the fastball it becomes hittable.

Either way, I need to take a lap and delay things a bit further.

Call not taking advantage of that chance looms large because while I'm not sure if Dean could've tracked that down, he was certainly their best shot at it.

At least it's a seven-game series, and they're good enough to fight back.

Roki doesn't have his command. I am in Hell. This is exactly what I mean. I want to die.

Gotta trust the pen to hold a two-run lead with three outs to get, I guess. And Snell has to start on four days rest in Game 5, so I get not pushing him to the limit here, but I would definitely feel better with him even if Roki has been flawless.

Agree with taking a chance to add on with Call over Dean, even though it effectively wastes Dean for one inning of defense. But fuck man, he has to do better there.

I spoke too soon, they actually got a bad day from Uribe, and again Mookie puts together an absolute professional AB for insurance.

The constant chances against their leverage arms not being capitalized on, plus that deflection play, makes this feel like a game they blow and it ruins the season.

Blake is absolutely shoving. Wow. They have no shot.

FREDDIE FUCKING FREEMAN

LET'S GOOO

On the flyball deflection double play, I was mostly pissed at luck, I think. Like yeah, they could've done better, but seeing it from the wide angle I had no idea if it touched the wall before he caught it again either.

I did the thread below on the other site, so I'll repost it here cause people thought it was funny to watch me freak after the fact.

I know you guys wait on my every tweet, but I'm watching the game delayed due to having to take care of some personal stuff.

Here are my thoughts so far:

The Mariners have the juice.

Bob tweet: Brewers manager Pat Murphy: 'I'm sure that most Dodger players can't name eight guys on our roster. No offense to them, they shouldn't have to know the names, but these are some guys that hopefully they know their names by the time it's over. You never know.'

You won 97 games, stop talking like you’re the third wild card

Yes, which to me means the lineup has to step up and provide bigger leads.

Logically, you shouldn't really worry in a seven-game series until the gap is two, but that probably won't stop me from shitting bricks about every pitch by like the third inning.
