Jansen in the 7th!

Craig Edwards

11:26

What was all that 2% talk?

Matt

11:27

Does LA fool us and bring in Kershaw to close out the 9th maybe?

Dave Cameron

11:27

No. Not after throwing 110 on three days rest.

Election 2016!

11:27

Great Series or Greatest Series?

Dave Cameron

11:27

Pretty fun!

Warren

11:28

Yeah I'm starting to like this whole baseball thing

HappyFunBall

11:28

Seriously. Who pitches the 9th for LA tonight ?

Dave Cameron

11:28

Baez, probably

If Jansen runs out of gas

Matt

11:29

9 out save! When was the last time that happened in a non-blowout?

Dave Cameron

11:29

Feel like maybe Rivera did it in October once?

@FlippedBats

11:29

i doubt he goes all 9

Dave Cameron

11:29

I would bet it depends on pitch count. They won't run him up past 40-45 pitches.

daniel

11:29

dave i read your dodgers lefty problem this morning and i wanted to come in and say you nailed this dodgers pitching plan

Joel

11:30

Jansen looks like he's got electric stuff

Jon

11:30

Rivera pitched 3 against the Sox in game 7, 2013 (Aaron Boone). But it wasn't a save.

@FlippedBats

11:30

*2003

5 Run Homer

11:30

Ross the pinch runner..?

Ed in Tampa

11:31

Harold says if Joe Ross can steal a base I would send him oh oh oh Harold

Craig Edwards

11:31

Bumgarner in 2014 WS G 7. Five innings.

hscer

Rivera playoff game log. 4 2.1+ inning outings, none a save. looots of 6-out appearances and saves http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.cgi?id=riverma01&t=p&year=0&post=1

Walrusman

11:31

Smoltz pitched 3 innings as a closer in 2004 NLDS G2

Mark

11:32

That's actually real nice for Ross to be able to get from 1st to 3rd.

brendan

11:32

Great piece of hitting there

11:32

Nice swing....

Walrusman

11:33

Harper may steal 2nd - Dodgers prob won't throw

@FlippedBats

11:33

96 ?? ??

Craig Edwards

11:34

Last non-blowout save by a closer to go 3 innings was Todd Worrell, game 3 of 87 NLCS against Giants, per BRef.

i am not the walrus

11:34

no matter what happens, still can't believe roberts brought jansen in this early. glad to see it.

Nate

11:35

He's not gonna go all 3 innings guys

Jart

11:35

I've watched a lot of Dodger games this year, and I don't think I've seen the cutter move that much.

11:35

Got away with one there!

Werth

11:35

Jansen doesn't have it tonight

5 Run Homer

11:36

Oof. Middle middle

11:36
