NLD 65 - The Big Maple Takes the Mound

Thanks Jeep. Quite surprised but you never know how the dice will fall. Congrats to Al and Klx too on their seasons — we will meet again in the West next time!

For JTJ - I just hope I can extend this to 6games — when Judge comes back from his 15 day playoff injury. Hoping for the best - good luck to you!

Well,you took the season series from me so...

As for Judge, I've seen too many times where the backup CRUSHES me that I'm not counting any chickens.

Well had a good start!
Now Judge AND Wade out. G3 have Pache hurt too, so will be using a 4 in CF.
SHOULD be interesting.
I'll take a win though.

Yeah, I thought we were going to blow game 2 also. Evidently we cannot get a hit RISP to save our lives. Luckily we *can*, evidently, hit HRs. Flores had 3 in game 3! The ONLY hit in two games RISP was.... a HR of course.

First game we left 9 AND hit in to 3 DPs and had Abrams CS. Yeesh. I feel lucky to win one and we're playing you down a bunch of players. Ugh.

Had big pitching edges in game 1 and 2 not so big in the next two.

Your team was #1 in the league for a reason! But, Tonight I’m going to try to take advantage of your 6.00 playoff era!

Wow— didn’t expect that! But I was down 3-1 last round, so it ain’t over til it’s over!

Well, we'll never win another NLD championship, that is clear. You have no offense left with your injuries and you absolutely shell our pitchers. Meanwhile one of the best offenses in the league can't do squat against Lopez and hit into 4 dps.

We lost our best RH hitter (Diaz) for game 4-5 and Yelich for game 5-6. Our backups there stink so.... I doubt there will be a game 6. You're not going to need Judge.

We have NO chance of winning. We just suck in the playoffs, the finals in particular, EVERY SINGLE TIME. So frustrating.

I shouldn't say you have "no" offense, it's just that missing JUDGE and Wade are big losses for you.

Even at that, Vegas has you at -210 to win tonight.

Parlayed it with the overs and won $500. lol

Ha! Yeah, I guess Strider v Lugo would do that to the odds.

Well, you wished for a game 6 and you got it! I guess this comes under the heading "be careful what you wish for."

We got lucky that Abrams injury was only for the rest of the game, Call subbing for Yelich, hit a 1-13 HR and Zunino had an RBI double off of Chargois' card. Then there was the 2 run, 2 out error by your RF Lowe (3e3).

Got some rolls in game 5. Gonna need some more now that you got Judge back.

Maybe we can make it interesting, but it's gonna be tough to win three in a row. I have zero confidence that we can do that.
