Recording live in his living room, Richard recaps Game 1 of the Dodgers vs. Braves NLDS, just after it ends in a 5-3 victory for the Boys in Blue in the 100-degree Los Angeles heat. He does so while…
Because I don't know, what are you doing? But I'm sure that there are reasons why you did what you did.
So first thing about this that jumps out is Tarek Skubal started game one, and it was just a tremendous performance by our trade deadline pickup.
The two-time reigning American League Cy Young Award winner that we got from the Tigers.
And the biggest get that was available to get at the trade deadline, we got him.
We already were working a six-man rotation, one more than teams typically do.
And obviously we had the postseason in mind when we made that acquisition, which is great because Shohei ended up getting injured in the second half, and he's not back to pitching shape.
And so basically Skubal has subbed in for Shohei in this postseason four-man rotation, which is typically what you use.
There was noise before this game Between the time that Scooball was announced, I think yesterday, as the starter and first pitch today, there was quite a bit of chatter, uh, in baseball media and, and local Dodgers land about how no, it should be Yama, Yamamoto.
Uh, you know, arguably our ace, the guy who's done it longer, been here longer, done more deep stuff in the postseason even in his short career than Scooball had, uh, as the reigning World Series MVP.
You know, he got three wins of the four in Toronto, uh, you know, including game seven, came into pitch on zero days rest.
I love Yama, and I can't wait to see him pitch, I guess, in game three of this series and throughout this postseason.
But obviously, the decision to use Scooby, whatever it was based on, worked.
I guess Bob Carpenter was a broadcaster, and he does a TV, radio, and fan version of this score book, and I really like it.
You know, you can just write what you want in the cells next to the players' names, kinda fill it out your own way, customize it your own way.
