The message cannot be empty when I do this. So, now it is not empty.

Quite the ending!

Dodgers go on to the next level - Giants vs. Dodgers, the rivalry finally getting to be head to head in the post-season!

Sort of with an *

Tonight I learned that the way they have played the entire season is not the way the post-season is to be played!

No more 'each extra inning starts with a man on 2nd base' crap.

I prefer it that way, but sure think having the playoffs under different rules is weird.

Too bad the Cardinals didn't have Jack Clark tonight.

Hate the Dodgers, but that was a great baseball game, last night.

NL baseball is so much more entertaining!!

Yes, because there is nothing so exciting as watching a pitcher bat, except maybe the staggering managerial genius and sublime beauty of a well executed double switch.

Both pitchers got a sac bunt down last night.  Either could have led to a hugely important run.

Amazing stat on Scherzer though

0 for 59 with 3 sac bunts and a sac fly for the year.

So, three sac bunts and 60 times he flailed pathetically at the plate, including one instance where thanks to the law of averages he hit the ball hard enough to get it to the outfield? Excitement!

This year is an anomaly for him - he used to be an above average hitter as pitchers go. He was no Max Fried, but you still had to pitch to him.

He's among the NL pitchers on record as not objecting to the switch to DH for their league.

I imagine the purists are just going to be stuck watching reruns.

I imagine the purists will adapt.

They can go find a league that doesn't use the DH. If there is one.

ESPN (7.12 million) and ESPN2 (573,000) combined for 7.69 million viewers for the AL wild card game, the most for any wild card matchup since 2015. It was also the biggest audience for a wild card game on ESPN since 1998 and was up 67 percent from the last time ESPN and ESPN2 had the AL wild card in 2019 (4.54 million).

I guess marketing Bucky F Dent nostalgia over rode the glaring omission of pitchers striking out or the intricate beauty of the double switch and goosed WC ratings.
