  11. We won it with no hits from Mookie or Freddie. I think both of them will contribute tomorrow.

  58. A large Dodger win tacked on top of the regular season dominance should take some of the confidence out of the Padres.

  89. Steiner in post season form on the Turner homer: “And Freeman……………………….who is in the on deck circle watches it go out!”

  95. Glad to see Trace in the lineup against a righty, afterall, he has hit them better than he has hit lefties. Wasn’t sure Roberts, etc. knew that the way he was used in the regular season.

    • Doc has all the numbers and the luxury during the season to try to get him going against lefties as well would be my guess.

  96. Broadcasters haven’t done their homework. Talking about JT having a down year. They haven’t noticed what he’s done since the All Star break.

  111. RBI: I hope that you are having a wonderful birthday and that the Dodgers will add to your celebration, youngster.

  112. Dodgers Lineup:

    Betts RF
    TTurner SS
    Freeman 1B
    Smith C
    Muncy 3B
    JTurner DH
    Lux 2B
    Thompson LF
    Bellinger CF

  114. So, today is my 70th birthday, and I am hosting friends and family this evening for a “gratitude party” in Ojai. Speaking of, I am so grateful to all of you! You have made me a much more informed, as well as less insane, Dodgers fan. I will be recording the game and plan on reading every single comment after my birthday bash, and chiming in I hope with a big Woo and HOO whenever I am able. My toenails are Dodger blue, my heart is Dodger loyal, and my hopes are Dodger-high! Thanks to all of you – you’ve really have made my life better over the years.

  118. From The Athletic:

    Pitching matchup
    This will be tough for the Padres.

    The Dodgers’ starters were top five by WAR, and the best in baseball by ERA. Their relievers were the best in baseball by WAR, and second-best by ERA. They got healthy in September, with Kershaw, Tony Gonsolin and Blake Treinen returning to the fold.

    They’ve got top-end talent. Julio Urías was a top-five pitcher in the National League by at least one measure, Kershaw is Kershaw, and Gonsolin had the second-best ERA in baseball among pitchers with at least 100 innings. By WAR, and really the eye test, too, only a couple relievers were better than Evan Phillips this year. Lefty Alex Vesia had a top-10 strikeout rate among qualified relievers.

    They’ve got depth. Lefties Tyler Anderson and Andrew Heaney combined for more than 250 innings of a 2.72 ERA, supported by good peripherals. Brusdar Graterol sat 100 on the sinker this year and gave up three homers over the course of the whole season. Chris Martin didn’t give up a run in the last 30 days of the season.

    • In a short series anything can happen. We’re seeing that today with the two mild card teams from the NL East.

  119. Every Tuesday the Dodgers have a mariachi band play in the outfield pavilion.

    Every Tuesday this season, the Dodgers have hosted a mariachi to play before and during games. Most times, the featured group was Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar, and they’ll return this week for the first playoff game against the San Diego Padres.

    Last week’s show, the final of the regular season, also showcased Mariachi Garibaldi and began once the in-stadium hosts introduced the ensemble to the masses who braved L.A. traffic to arrive early.

    The group performed as people observed from behind, blocking the walkway, singing along. Most had their phones out recording. There were Urías, Valenzuela and González jerseys, but plenty of Kershaw and Bellinger shirts too. One man wore a cap and jersey for the Tomateros de Culiacán, the baseball team in Julio Urías’ hometown in Mexico. A woman released a deep-throated shout or grito.

    “¡Viva México!” a man yelled. “¡Viva México!”

    The 10-minute set featured harp, guitar, and trumpet solos. When it was over, the oldest member of the group, Gustavo Hernández, belted an exclamation point.

    “¡Que viva los Dodgers!”

    They’ll play this evening, just as they did last year during the playoffs.
