    This is how I feel. Lost an incredible pitching effort by Keuchel.

    Probably the silliest post you'll see tonight.


    Lucky? Overmatched? If DK doesn't miss his spot we are going into extra innings...

    Let Bregman bat leadoff. He seems to be locked in and at least having good ABs. Problem is not many folks outside of Altuve and Gurriel have been consistent since DS.

    The difference in this game was just one bad pitch kuechel left up in the zone to turner.

    Great pitching by both clubs. I would really like to see our bats come alive.

    Springer needs to find his swing

    Anything that doesn't have Springer as lead off is okay with me. It's time for him to get moved down. Guy is swinging at everything again.

    Right. If we have another team-galvanizing Verlander performance tomorrow and pull a win, we may be able to ride that through the next three games at home. If, by the time Kershaw comes back up, our hitters actually believe that they can hit him, I think they actually will.

    lol at the overreactions that was an extremely tight game and one pitch didn’t go our way with two strikes and 2 outs... dodgers vaunted offense didn’t threaten much at all.

    Well hell. Down but far from out.

    Let’s hope Verlander takes care of business and the bats show some life tomorrow.

    Springer has to be moved down the line up.

    I'm all for moving Springer down in the lineup. I would prefer to see him bat 5th or 6th.

    I would consider Bregman at leadoff with Gurriel batting second.

    The fact of the matter is, they need two guys ahead of Altuve and Correa that can actually get on base.

    Based on looking terrible in 6 ABs. They couldn't even stress their relievers even a little bit. Plus we know the dodgers bullpen doesn't give up runs based on the regular season stats and the postseason so far.
