MLB, less than 30 games to go....

[Scott Douglas]

That had to be one of the best Dodger games I've ever seen.
Really looking forward to the series with the Giants.

Not anymore. Congrats!

I recorded last nights game, got up early and watched it.

Wow.

Amazing how much better it is being able to FF through the game.

That was a weak way to win. Two blind umps calling that a swing.

BUUuuuut, I'll take it.

I know you have ump'ed so I appreciate your perspective. The game was great until then...what a fizzle.

Still part of the game.

I am pulling for Max from here on out.

That first base umpire is gonna get some hate mail like a MOFO. No way did the batter come around let alone break his wrists.

Smoke another bowl ump.

[Scott Douglas]

What a piss poor way to end such an important game.

That ump should never be allowed to ump another important game, IMO.

Yup.

As long as I am not kissing an Atlanta uglee cousin, I am good!

Yeah I was watching that live and couldn’t believe the call…. Definitely a mistake.

You are 100% correct and I agree w the other comments but the Giants were in first place and the Dodgers had to play the wild card game because of a blown check swing call that went the other way, (against Dodgers), in a regular season game.

The hashtag, #checkswingkarma is trending.

MS has the most perfect, beautiful pitching form that I've seen in a long time. And he's an assassin. What a great get for the Dodgers.

I'm headed to Houston with my broom and trash can. Picked up a shift or two cleaning the Boston the dugout during the game.

Houston! Winner of the trash can WS.

I have only been to three MLB games since 2015. They all featured Scherzer pitching for the Nats. I only have one friend you gives a hoot about baseball so we splurge on seats and hotels around Nats Park. Great stuff.

When the Dodgers got him I knew the balance of pitching power shifted.

The home plate umpire also called quite a few LA pitches strikes when they were clearly off the plate or low. Was a hard-fought series though...too bad it had to end on a bogus call like that.

The mastermind, Alex Cora, just happens to be the manager for Boston. Anyway, he's part of my job taking out the trash.

What a deflating way to end a 107-win season. As an Angeleno, I was watching the game. But that was a lousy way to end the series.

A friend joked about how the cameras didn't focus at all on the umpiring crew leaving the field after that call, and that they seemed to leave pretty quickly. He also mentioned how that ump would probably need a police escort to get out of the stadium and parking lot safely. I wondered if that first base ump at least took the time to collect the envelope of cash from Dave Roberts before heading off the field.

Fooking braves....
