Tomorrow is a must win. There's no way Dodgers will lose Game 5 at home. I wish we would have given ourselves a better shot tonight, but it's irrelevant now.
I recognize that everything this team does from here is gravy, but we can't let these smug Dodgers fans have the last laugh. What's the point of dominating them during the season if we lose when it matters most?
Yeah, terrible rationale. Hasn't Iannetta caught most of Walker's good outings? Regardless, Iannetta has the superior bat vs. Kershaw. Mathis couldn't even get a decent bunt down on Wednesday. Got very lucky on that play.
I definitely would have started Corbin. Godley should have come in after if Corbin couldn't get it done. Starting Walker basically told me we aren't trying to win this game, which is madness.
It's never a good idea to concede Game 1. Especially in this way. No way Walker should have started and Iannetta should be catching. I'd even think about putting Lamb at the bottom of the order since he's been hot lately.
So glad we had Mathis behind the plate to spike a throw to 2B and advance Turner. FFS. This series is likely over if they lose tomorrow. Gonna be tough to win out when Dodgers have confidence and momentum cruising in Game 1.
Lovullo is doing his best BA impression trying to "out-smart" the opposition. Let your best players play. RJ and Schilling carried us in '01 playoffs on little rest.
