"And it sent the Dodgers to the NL Championship Series for the seventh time in 10 years, their hopes of becoming Major League Baseball's first repeat champions in a quarter century still very much in play." That is only the second time a playoff series ended on a walk off error, the other being the 2016 ALDS-1 when the Rangers' Rougned Odor committed the error that let ... "That was just an awful sequence for Kerkering, his teammates, and Phillies fans everywhere. The error also made history. The Phillies' loss to the Dodgers was the first postseason series in history to end in a walk-off error. That's a fact that adds insult to injury for everyone involved. Los Angeles now moves on to its fourth NLCS in the last six seasons."

Fathom might even bring back the Cubs Thread if they somehow beat the Dodgers...although not going to predict that one happening.

Do Brewers bring back Counsell and Stearns if they lose G5? Just kidding...although resigned looks of befuddlement and desperation abound when you lose. Thomson will probably get fired in Philly just because they can't get over the hump and their core is aging or out the door (Schwarber, maybe to FA). The main reason would be Roki Sasaki...who basically disappeared from the face of the earth for 4 1/2 months as his FB dipped to 93 mph. Then was miraculously reinvented.

3/35 odds historically last team 2017 Red Sox lose first two in a five game series and rally back to win

City of Philadelphia must be having a complete meltdown between Phillies and Eagles...

8 NLCS appearances in 13 years for the Dodgers... Also Skubal vs. Kirby tmrw G5 in Seattle...

mlb will happily trade Cubs/Dodgers for Jays/Tigers lol

Not going to win many games with one hit through 4 IP against Matthew Boyd...

Keppinger was a relatively minor deal...

Saquon Barkley must be on the take too.

Inexperience. Took way too much time delivering the ball home. It's almost like he totally forgot the force at first base. Can see Realmuto pointing over there in the replay...

What in the name of God what was that???????

Perkins/Collins both failed in the 7th or 8th though

Four consecutive games the Cubs have scored early now? So much for not putting runs on the board.

Ballsy going right at Schwarber and Harper with RIP...but it worked out. Sasaki 9/9. Will see Banda or Vesia against Schwarber/Harper if it goes to the 11th.

The Studio

Schwarber Harper Bohm huge at bats for Phils Vesia again?

There's the downside of loading the bases. Duran has never been in that situation before...Twins vs. Dodgers/Phils' postseason pressure. Although they did take down Yankees two year ago.

Pages 1/22 on postseason walk Ohtani?

Have to let Muncy hit there against Duran, then Ohtani. Asking for eight outs is a lot.

Big mistake opens the door for Philly...
