After the grand slam from cleanup hitter Hernandez in the 3rd inning, Dodgers' 5-6-7-8-9 hitters had a combined one hit the rest of the way.

I’m trying to figure how it’s legal to run on the grass from first to second. Also wondering why the Dodgers didn’t appeal this. 

It's legal, per this guy's conversation with former umpire Dale Scott

Ironic seeing pitching being the doyers achilies heel.

Yes and no. He's allowed to run there and get hit. However if it's ruled intentional it's an out and dead ball. I'm surprised Roberts didn't ask the umpire to check with the 1B or home umpire. I umpire high school games and this happens fairly regular at 1B.

Of course it’s intentional but he didn’t get hit intentionally. He created a path that made it a difficult throw, which is totally legal.

Getting hit intentionally would result with an out. I'm looking for things like throwing hands up in the air.

I've also done 3 community college games. Lol

 

I'm not disagreeing with him. I'm saying if an umpire felt Manny purposely made contact with the throw they had the option to call an out  I'm shocked Dave didn't get them together. When you're the umpire at the play you're preparing for the tag or force. The umpire further away is looking for the interference or obstruction.

Lol. I'd rather the arrogant and egotistical Dodger fans have nothing to root for. When you spend 1 billion dollars on 2 players, don't complain about pitching dept.

Yep, idgaf how the Padres players act. Machado can pull his dong out and piss on Dave Roberts for all I care. I've been getting crap from Dodgers fans for months due to Shohei's success, and the Angels lack thereof.

 

Hell I was at a restaurant a week ago inquiring about the Ox Tail. First thing out of the employee's mouth "Angels drool, Dodgers rule." I was already in a foul mood, and didn't need some piss ant to comment on sports. 

 

So yes, I'm relishing this loss just as hard as any Halos win. Christmas came early, thanks Pads!

You can't call intent when he has his back to the play and as it was pointed out, this isn't a play down the first base line.

Ohtani is having a Trout-like first postseason, while Tatis is raking. It is the postseason where superstars with super salaries need to step up and earn their accolades as well as their money.

I must have missed Trout's 3 run homer against the Royals in 2014.

Oh really? Happened in the first inning of game 4.

I think he did hit a homer in game 3 but I could have been mistaken.

It was not a 3 run homer a solo blast.

Why are you guys picking at scabs, just to see it bleed? 

[Duren, Duren]

Guess who's #39 in playoff hitting?

Answer?

Two broken bat singles in three games after the homer that stoked expectations. 

But he can still emerge as a hero. Or not. Right now he seems less patient and is trying for the big blast with every swing.

[T.G.]

As much as I'd like to count the Dodgers (and Ohtani) out... I'm not going to do that until they count themselves out.
