How much do I hate the Dodgers? More than the Nats surprisingly.
How did we get here?
First the Nats took one from the Brewers (unfortunately, I still hate them).
- Top 1– Walk. 2 RBI Home Run. Brewers 2 – 0.
- Top 2– Solo Shot. Brewers 3 – 0.
- Bottom 3– Solo Shot. Brewers 3 – 1.
- Bottom 8– HBP. Single. Walk. 2 RBI Single. Error, Run Scores. Nats 4 – 3 Final.
Then yesterday the Dodgers got at them. It was ugly.
- Bottom 1– Walk. Walk. Passed Ball. Walk. RBI Walk. Dodgers 1 – 0.
- Bottom 5– Walk. Single. RBI Error. Out Advancing. Dodgers 2 – 0.
- Bottom 7– Walk. Single. Steal. Walk. 2 RBI Single. Dodgers 4 – 0.
- Bottom 8– Solo Shot. Solo Shot. Dodgers 6 – 0 Final. Dodgers lead Series 1 – 0.
Tonight the Dodgers send Clayton Kershaw (L, 16 – 5, 3.03 ERA) to the mound. He has only been in the Post Season 8 years, appearing in 30 games with a record of 9 – 10. During 152 Innings he has allowed 78 Runs with 22 HR and 44 Walks against 165 Ks for an ERA of 4.32. He throws Heat and Sliders with a few Curves for variety.
Nats attempt to get even with Stephen Strasburg (R, 18 – 6, 3.32 ERA). He has participated in 3 Post Seasons (including this one where he was the winning pitcher of the Wild Card game) appearing in 4 games with a record of 2 – 2. In 22 Innings he has allowed 4 Runs and 4 Walks while recording 28 Ks for an ERA of 0.41. He splits Fastballs, Curves, and Changeups pretty evenly.
