I went to bed last night not realizing Atlanta lost also. WTF? I wouldnt go as far as Adam, but they both need the next 2. Either team loses another at home, and then I would say things are pretty serious. BTW, I have no problem with the Dodgers imploding. Atlanta? Let the best team win.
i don't think the braves are in serious trouble. dodgers, yes. hell, both of these team could come back and dominate for the next 3 games. it's just 1 game.
The thing is that the biggest advantages the Dodgers had over the D'Backs were experience and lining up the rotations. Those were both demolished yesterday. Arizona now has played - and won a division series game on the road. They know what to expect and that they can win. And now they come back with their ace on the mound already knowing they can clinch at home. Teams that go down 0-2 only win 9% of the time so all the pressure is on LA and Arizona gets to play this game like it is free money.
You can tell Kershaw is a good dude. It’s really a shame. I hate the Dodgers but I do feel bad for Kershaw (unless he’s facing us).
Philly's rolling back similar team of destiny vibes like last year. And they're one year more battle-tested and patched a lot of holes from last year. They're also coming together at the right time. Atlanta is obviously a good team but Philly (much like the Astros) are better set up for the playoffs than regular season. Atlanta should absolutely be worried.
