Dodgers have had an unreal runs/hits rationdir this series...it's destined to come to an end tomorrow..guys like pederalson and Forsyth return to form and they leave many on base. The crazy luck can't continue and I think Houston wins big tomorrow.

I'm optimistic but law of averages says we're not chasing a great pitcher out of the game early twice in a week

I think Lance has the clutch gene. Not so sure about Yu.

I think they have a pretty good chance vs Yu tomorrow. Then a used up bullpen. McCullers on the Hill

I don’t see where the odds are stacked against them other than home field advantage

Hopefully we can get to Darvish again but I'm not counting on him having 0 command of his breaking pitches again. Plus the Astros are a completely different team at home vs on the road.

The bats can't let us down again. Hopefully tomorrow somebody shows the nuts to step up and prove they want to win a title. They failed miserably tonight.

Against Yu?

Astros have to get disciplined at the plate. They are wasting way too many at bats with shitty decisions and swinging at shite to strike out. That especially goes for Altuve. He’s been mediocre all series and needs to step it up. He’s trying to hit a home run on every pitch. That’s not how he became the batting champion.

Well I know that we're on the road in game 7 and historically that's not good BUT if we're looking at previous World Series no team has ever won in the format the Dodgers would win in. Meaning no team has ever won game 1,4,6 and than won game 7 EVER

Did Hinch say he's not ruling out Verlander for tomorrow

I have no doubt JV has 20 pitches in him if needed. He could be the closer for all we know.

Astros were the best team on the road this year.

Is it really so absurd to see a guy tossing a bit before his start? He probably had scheduled work that he didn't get done considering he might have entered the game.

The post game show thinks it's the most shocking thing they've ever seen.

That's netted us 2-5 post season road record. These guys clearly aren't comfortable in a road playoff environment. Gotta find a way to nut up and win 1

The key will be getting after him early. In our all road games we seem to take the first time through the lineup too carelessly. Every AB is precious and they need to make the starter work hard early. If we start going down quickly with pop flies and ground ball outs then it gives them momentum. This is where I think hinch is a bad manager...can't seem to get his team focused early with good road ABs and it puts a lot of pressure on us throughout the game.

This might be a controversial thing but I want reddick in the lineup tomorrow. I ride with my nine who got us here. If it's the 5th and he's I'd twice and there's risp? Sure pinch him but I think he comes up for us tomorrow. He has done it for us so many times this season I won't turn my back now.

Dude Redick is like hitting cancer...he's terrible and it's clearly hurting this team. AJ has a Les Miles like loyalty to his players and it might cost us a World Series.

Agree. It's a righty starter, too. Roll with Reddick. But make changes accordingly later.
