NLCS Game 2 IGT 10/14/2024: NYM@LAD —Broadway over Hollywood

[Edgy MD]

This "analysis" by these three guys is all over the place. They're even kind of calling bullshit on each other.

[Frayed Knot]

I hafta say I wasn't all that worried. The only reason it was even a game went to those errors.

Well, that and getting blanked from the 3rd thru the 8th vs the back end of their pen.

Really though, the Dodgers hit very little hard. The Muncy HR obviously, that ball that sent Nimmo to the track, an early liner to Marte, and Freddie's funky hop off the mound that Iglesies flubbed. Edman was the only guy with hits and he essentially just hit rollers or floaters that found holes.
But oh those fuckin' walks!

[Gwreck]

I'm not sure they can replace Nimmo and Marte, but Brandon is sure running with pain.

McNeil and Bader.

That's certainly the option.

Whether McNubby is an upgrade is an open question.

Not sure McNeil is an upgrade over Nimmo. But he’s probably an upgrade over Marte?

Torrens needs to start a game or two

[Frayed Knot]

I was for pulling Nimmo rather than Marte -- even though Nim's spot in the lineup would be up sooner and even though I called Marte a defensive liability earlier in the season -- mainly to get three good arms out there in case it came down to a potential game-tying and/or -winning hit.

Right move by Mendoza IMO

[Lefty Specialist]

Nimmo is definitely hurting. Maybe McNeil in left on Wednesday. And Torrens needs a start too.

Zvon would be proud!
