Well I was doubtful the Dodgers were going to pull it off yesterday but their bullpen came through.

Awesome game by the bullpen.

I will say bullpen games scare me like snackdaddy stated that just one of them can have a bad inning.

Now if Roberts is correct that Yamamoto is tipping his pitches again - maybe he can fix it and Yamamoto will have a big game Friday.

Could we just run the Bullgame game back on Friday night?

What a win. Mookie has stepped up big time!

Lets get this series!

So they survived one more time. Darvish has been tough on the Dodgers this year. But when you see a guy enough times you have a chance to figure him out. I assume Yamamoto will be tomorrow night's starter. Didn't do well last time. But he's certainly capable of having a good game. I imagine Flaherty will be the guy coming in if its an early exit for Yamamoto. Just can't wait too long. Runs will be hard to come by. If the Dodgers can move on it will be impressive facing the team with the best record since the all star break.

Hopefully the crowd at DS lifts the team tonight.

Need Yamamoto to be the guy we saw in New York vs the Yankees. He can absolutely be that guy.

WIN TONIGHT!!!!

They need to get to Darvish early before he gets into a pattern. If Yams can then get into a good rhythm, our boys in blue can put together a good game. Our bullpen has been pretty good lately and that needs to continue.

All in all, this will be a tough game to win but possibly our biggest challenge in the National League. Get through it and I like our chances.

I want to see the Yamamoto we saw in NY vs the Yanks!

Roberts managed his ass off that series and the much maligned Dodgers pitchers shut the critics up :D

Great fucking win vs the shits

I won't lie. I had my doubts after game 3 when they fell behind 2 games to 1. But Yamamoto and the bullpen were lights out.

On to the NLCS against another hot team. The way the bullpen had been playing I like their chances.

33 consecutive scoreless innings......

(from MLB.com)

"When part Mets baserunning blunder, part deft defensive play by center fielder Kiké Hernández helped Flaherty complete a fifth scoreless inning, it gave Dodgers pitchers 29 consecutive innings without allowing a run. According to Elias, that set the NL record for a single postseason, besting a 119-year-old mark established by the New York Giants over Games 2-5 of the 1905 World Series. That’s the only other team in MLB history, with the ‘66 Orioles and ‘24 Dodgers, to throw three consecutive shutouts in the postseason.

And when L.A. left fielder Teoscar Hernández reached over the wall down the left-field line to catch the inning-ending out in the sixth, the Dodgers’ scoreless streak had gone all the way to 30 innings, leaving only the ‘66 Orioles with a longer stretch of scoreless baseball.


By night’s end, the Dodgers had pulled into a tie with history.

If that wasn’t good enough, there was a streak within the streak. Before Francisco Lindor led off the fourth inning with a walk to give the Mets their first baserunner against Flaherty, Dodgers pitchers had retired 28 straight batters faced going back to Game 5 of the NLDS, the third most in a single postseason, according to Elias.

The only longer streaks both belong to the Yankees. The 2004 Yanks retired 29 in a row between ALDS Game 4 against the Twins and ALCS Game 1 against the Red Sox, and the 1956 Yankees retired 31 consecutive Brooklyn Dodgers from Games 4-6 of the World Series -- including the 27 up, 27 down in Don Larsen’s perfect game in Game 5.

Only three other teams can claim similar “hidden perfect games” in postseason history. These clubs all retired 27 consecutive batters in a single postseason: The 1939 Reds in Games 3-4 of the World Series, the 1927 Yankees in Games 2-3 of the World Series and the 1926 Cardinals in Games 2-3 of the World Series."

I knew the Dodgers pitchers were doing great, but I didn’t know they were making history until after the game.

Flaherty pitched a gem last night. He gave our bullpen another day of rest.

Love the AB's from Edman, Lux, Muncy, etc. Hopefully Lux is ok....
