I wonder how many teams will want Machado given some of his deemed dirty tactics including what happened when he seemed to kick the foot of the Brewers 1st Base player when he could have avoided it

Well, we're down the League's championship games now. The semi finals to the World Series, if you will.

In the National League the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers are engaged in a fantastic see-saw series, currently tied at 2-2. It's effectively a best of 3 games now.

And in the American League, the Boston Red Sox and defending World Series champions Houston Astros are contesting a series for the ages, with Boston currently 2-1 ahead. Game 4 tonight in the wee hours.

At least we're guaranteed a great World Series, whoever advances from these games. And then we'll be on to trade/free agent season, and ALL eyes will be on three players: Bryce Harper , Manny Machado, and, Clayton Kershaw (IF he decides to opt out of his remaining contract). Harper and Machado are expected to vie for the richest contract ever handed out to a player. Most believe a deal worth close to $400MM is possible. Personally, I only see Machado getting close.

Dodgers Game 1 World Series tonight if the rain goes off

Game 3 of World Series and Dodgers needed a win. They got it in 18 innings by 3-2.

Fucking Ian Kinsler. 2 hours I'll never get back because of this fucking guy...



And Xander Bogaerts set a World Series record going 0-8 (Mookie Betts was tied for the record at 0-7 one at-bat earlier lol)

^ could have saved 3 and a half hours if Jansen hadn't given up the tying run in 8th Innings

Both runs in 13th Innings came from errors

That's true. Also didn't help that Nunez fell into the stands earlier in the inning, allowing Muncy to grab second.

With that little league line-up the Sox had going in extras, it was only a matter of time before LA came through, so I can't be too mad. Had the feeling after Muncy just missed the foul pole that he'd straighten one out at some point. Dude had some great at-bats.

Thought that game would never end with the way everyone was trying to play hero ball. Felt like every AB in extras was strikeout or pop-up.

No idea who's starting tonight (Rich Hill vs ?), but if it's Rodriguez or Pomeranz (please God, don't let this happen), I think they'll get rocked, and at the very least the Dodgers will bring the series back to Boston.

I'd never watched much of that Buehler dude either, guy's got some nasty stuff.

would expect Rich Hill will start for us against Rodrigues for the Sox and if that is the case we need to get after him early

Dodgers got a 4-0 lead in bottom of 6 only to give up 3 run homer in top of 7th. Jansen is in to start the 8th Inning mad gives up a home run and we are tied at 4

seems last nights collapse from 4-0 up after 6 to losing 9-6 kicked the fight out of the Dodgers and they are going down meekly with 5 runs on 4 homers taking Red Sox to the world series in what could be Kershaw's last appearance for the Dodgers

Season started well for Los Angeles Dodgers, they hit 8 home runs in a 12-5 win over Arizona
