Appropriate to wear them on the road. They were road uniforms back in the day. But now they are going to tarnish these uniforms when they implode. I assume at least 3 nukes launched against Nola which should be enough to vaporize the season

I am not superstitious but those uniforms don’t have a great history at dodger stadium in playoff games

Too late they lost to LA in them in 77 and 78.

@Diehardfan gone from bedlam at the bank to bedlam with a bunt

Yeah but after almost 50 years most were not around although I have vague memories of the rain game in 77. I assume though most players are superstitious and because of the history the organization would not wear those there in a playoff game , and even in 83 they lost the last playoff game there. Don't see this a smart move but I think this team and front office is nothing but mental midgets

Apparently trying to completely piss in the face of history. Never winning a series after losing game 1 and unis.

I feel bad for the people that still had hope during the season, I saw this train wreck coming before the season

i’ve always reminded myself this year when they start playing really well not to get too excited because eventually the crash is coming

I mostly thought it would come to this. There was that stretch after Wheeler went down that I thought this team may be different this year... Well that was not the case but, Im still not upset because we have seen more of this team than that team for that stretch.

As much as I hate him right now at least he’s not completely tone deaf and actually understands why they’re being booed. unlike the idiot on this roster

I'm still a huge fan. It sucks seeing him playing like this. I'm glad he gets it makes it like he isn't all show and actually gets the fans on a genuine level.

I’d love to see him and wheeler win a WS. Unfortunately Harper at this stage can’t do what he did 3-4 years ago. His body doesn’t stay healthy enough anymore. He needs more help than he did in the past. Which is expected as he gets older. It’s why i keep harping on them needed a cleanup hitter behind him as it would make his life much simpler

Me too, hard to see that happening at this point. Sad really

Freaking Vlad Jr was a dream of mine lol

Mine too. I was really hoping that he would wait it out and that the Blue Jays would just not be good this year, and then want to leave. But the Blue Jays somehow got that deal done before they even got to the point where they were really good this year.

Curious to see what the Phillies do in the offseason. I think it’ll be telling cause really if you re-sign Jt and schwarber then you better go all in and get another big bat cause you aren’t winning without it.

Blue jays vs. Mariners is going to be fascinating. Going to be a will great hitting beat great pitching.

Then again Yankees beating up on blue jays who don’t exactly have good pitching

Two last things for the night:

1. I do think in this series Zach Wheeler makes a difference. I still don’t think they win this series. But if you have him going and game one and you have Sanchez in game two, it allows for luzardo to be coming out of the bullpen for game 1 and still start Wednesday in LA. So if you get into a situation like game one, you can go to luzardo and do what the Dodgers are doing with glasnow and Sheehan. It bolsters a bad bullpen. That said they’re not losing this series because Zach Wheeler isn’t here. They’re losing it because the offense doesn’t consistently hit, they chase. Thomson he is making bad decisions. And the bullpen isn’t good enough.

2. I don’t think they win on Wednesday. However, usually when I think that with baseball the baseball gods have other plans. Stupid crap like Aaron Nola who’s been bad all year somehow winds up being good and the Phillies figure a way to win a game in LA. Just to come back on Thursday when we feel good about Sanchez going and fall flat on their face. That said I still expect them to lose on Wednesday.

They'll win on Wednesday, because then they play on Thursday, and of course everyone will have to watch a baseball team on life support during the Eagles game on Thursday. They probably lose on Thursday, making switching channels to watch ultimately pointless when all is said and done.

Tbh they have a really good advantage on Thursday. It’s going to be Sanchez vs. likely glasnow. The dodgers haven’t used Ohtani on that type of rest all year. He’s always pitched on 7+ days or more. Maybe they finally do it with Ohtani. hasnt this year so he might fatigue earlier.

Jays bullpen is garbage, I predict Yankees win

Usually Yankees bullpen is just as bad. Tbh it’s why I’d take mariners to win the AL. Their pitching is significantly better than the other 3 AL teams left.

I love that the game tonight is like 9pm....I won't even be a little bit enticed to watch it!

Relax guys. tHiS tEaM Is BuIlT fOr ThE PoStSeAsOn!
