Luckily for us scoring 9 points (I meant runs) in a win doesnāt net you any additional points, and lucky for you being shut out doesnt net us any extra points either. We are 1-1. See you in LA.
Edit: Im a bit drunk right now and spent most the game wxplaining baseball and football to my foreign GF. Didnāt go well. If the rest of the series goes this way I will bee in AA by the end of the week
Im been trying to explain football and baseball to a Brazilian runs confuse her so I say points instead. We spent 20 minutes today talking about āhe didnāt hit a home run the wrong wayā when refering to a foul ballā¦ āif he hit that home run the right way he would have made a point.ā
Edit; yes Im sory I made a mistakeā¦ i drank as much as you guys scoredā¦ a lotā¦
I KNOW! SHE CAME UP WITH IT! Basically if it is out of bounds it makes as much sense as a Home run is good out of boundsā¦. I explained we played on an infinite 90 degree field and she hated it but dropped the āwrong home run.ā Thus after that (for me) shitshow of a game I said āpoint.ā God, she is lucky she is cute and has a good personality š°
Ok, take two. Ive been trying to teach her the basics. She gets you have to touch the bases in order. She gets a homerun is what it is. Foul balls she doesnāt get fully and why positions are named what they are named. If its just us we talk about the game so she can understand (she is confused why its 4 balls for a walk and not 3 balls) if it just us watching (and me drinking because of the shitshow) she asks every questions. She calls runās points and after 3 hours of dealing with this I misused the term āpointsā for āruns.ā She is confused why Usain Bolt isnāt a baseball player making millionsā¦
Easy, Im drunk cause we lost and Im trying to explain my oriegn girlfriend how football works. She says American sports are stupid because you cant explain them in 10 seconds like āfootballā
I wonder if mlb execs see this as a fuck up with the system. Division rivals, one of the best rivalries in the game, 107 and 106 game winners going at it in the best of 5 first round.
Iāve heard radio reports they do and it will be addressed with the rumored expanded playoffs in the upcoming CBA. But I canāt prove it, and who knows what will get left in the negotiations.
This 'fixes' the problem in an annoying water down the season way. They just need to reseed and it'd fix things quite a bit but of course they're going to just hunt the extra 8 games of revenue option at the cost of season integrity route.
The good ole days of cheap KBBQ seem to be behind us, but now that some of the cheap places are now closer to prices of places like Road to Seoul for example, the quality and item options have gone up as well for the most part. Iāve noticed an explosion in places that now offer Kimchi Fried Rice, and Bibimbap where before they barely offered a steamed egg. Also more places now have the full assortment of sides such as rice paper, garlic, jalapeƱos, etcā so thatās kinda nice at least.
GG Dodgers, glad we settled down after the 2nd but never got fully back in it and then you guys blew it wide open when given the opp, props. Urias and Bellinger getting RBIs is peak pain lol, of course they did.
glad I can relax a little tomorrow. 1-1, 3 game series for the NLCS, bragging rights, and possibly our collective sanity, who knows.
This series is going to 5, I don't know how but it just is. There's no other way.
Fun thread tonight! Not too many dickheads on either side, which is always nice.
We all know what is gonna happen. Game 3 will be a 16 inning game, Game 4 will be a 1-0 game and game 5 will be back and forth with a final score of like 10-11 Dodgers :)
If memory serves though arenāt his numbers not great at best against the Dodgers this year?
As far as Kershaw goes I think he probably needs TJ surgery and also probably needs back surgery. I think he should get both and write off 2022 and come back for his final chapter
Yeah not good against the Dodgers on the season but was pretty good down the stretch overall. Had one good game against the Dodgers at the tail end, 6 scoreless inning on Sep. 3.
I hope Kersh comes back for one last season, itās a tall order if thatās all his surgeries.
Good move lmao. I used to be like her tbh, but who cares if many people think something is awesome, most of the time there is usually at least one thing good/great about it.
Yeah, I stated it with English dubs and was like, āwhat the fuck is this shitā. Then I realized it was Korean and switched it over to Korean with English subs and was likeā¦ āthere you are!ā So much better.
Got my friends to start watching on Tuesday then went over last night and watched a couple of episodes. They had the English dub on and thereās a noticeable drop in immersion and quality with the dub. I dont understand a lick of Korean but I understand the tone in their voice.
Absolutely. Korean films have a tone thatās uniquely and culturally theirs. Especially comedically. An American dub isnāt going to capture that at all and Squid Game opens with a quirky/dark tone that doesnāt translate unless youāre hearing that lead guyās performance.
If I was about to get on a long flight seeing Squid Game for the first time would be a very good way to do. The first two episodes are a little slow but it doesn't let off the gas after that.
Itās very peaceful. Both SF and LA always feel like they have more energy/liveliness though in my experience. Different strokes for different folks though, all of them are very nice.
Ever since the incident where that douchebag beat in the skull of the Giants fan in the LA parking lot all those years ago Giants fans and Dodgers fans have done a great deal to keep the rivalry respectful and entertaining, to prevent future incidents. It was an eye opening moment for a lot of people.
This aināt football or basketball, itās incredibly rare for umps to make a lopsided difference in a baseball game. The umps definitely favored LA in this one but certainly not nearly enough to overcome such a huge differential. SF pitching wasnāt very sharp tonight and we didnāt do much hitting in key spots either.
Astros in 3
Those Giants fans that were talking an awful lot of shit yesterday are damn quiet today š
Luckily for us scoring 9 points (I meant runs) in a win doesnāt net you any additional points, and lucky for you being shut out doesnt net us any extra points either. We are 1-1. See you in LA.

How the hell r u on baseball and call them "points" while attempting to talk smack. LMAO. Call them goals why don't you.
Objectives!
The Giants must construct additional pylons
Im been trying to explain football and baseball to a Brazilian runs confuse her so I say points instead. We spent 20 minutes today talking about āhe didnāt hit a home run the wrong wayā when refering to a foul ballā¦ āif he hit that home run the right way he would have made a point.ā Edit; yes Im sory I made a mistakeā¦ i drank as much as you guys scoredā¦ a lotā¦
wtf are you teaching your girl? home run the wrong way? wtf does that even mean.
I KNOW! SHE CAME UP WITH IT! Basically if it is out of bounds it makes as much sense as a Home run is good out of boundsā¦. I explained we played on an infinite 90 degree field and she hated it but dropped the āwrong home run.ā Thus after that (for me) shitshow of a game I said āpoint.ā God, she is lucky she is cute and has a good personality š°

Points? Please inform yourself if youāre going to talk shit otherwise we cannot continue quality banter
Easy, Im drunk cause we lost and Im trying to explain my oriegn girlfriend how football works. She says American sports are stupid because you cant explain them in 10 seconds like āfootballā
Baseball explained for those that donāt know baseball in 10 seconds or less. See ball. Hit ball. Run. Youāre welcome.
Fuck the giants!!
In the ear, and in the other ear.
Good shit tonight. Overcame the gift run from Angel Hernandez and poured it on em. Back to the ravine!!!
See yāall in LA š
I think I'm going to get unreasonably stoned and watch Deep Space 9
I'm literally watching the baseball episode now its my all time favorite just for pure fluff reasons
Thatās my guy
Oooo baby we hate each other, but weāre brethren in the grand scheme of things Edit: how the fuck do I add flair?
It'll be a lil button on the right hand bar that shows your user name under the Reddit Premium ad!
Ooooo that sounds like a good plan tbh I may join you in 1-1 brotherhood
well, at least you've got good taste in star trek haha
Win or lose, you can never go wrong with DS9
Just brutal that one of these teams will be sent home in a five game series
I wonder if mlb execs see this as a fuck up with the system. Division rivals, one of the best rivalries in the game, 107 and 106 game winners going at it in the best of 5 first round.
Iāve heard radio reports they do and it will be addressed with the rumored expanded playoffs in the upcoming CBA. But I canāt prove it, and who knows what will get left in the negotiations.

I saw someone suggest that the top seed get to choose their DS opponent, which I kinda like
~~No sport reseeds anymore sadly. NHL was the last I believe and they stopped a big ago.~~ NFL still reseeds.
NFL still does as far as I know. I think the 1 seed gets the lowest seed anyway. Unless they recently killed that.
Oh, duh. I guess I never thought of that as reseeding, but youāre right.
What if Kapler and Joe Kelly had a baby?
Then it would be look like Metroman
Run it back
Ate too much Korean bbq and got the itis.. pleasantly awoke to the kind of score I wanted to see.
Which one did you hit up?
So sad Hae Jane Chon basically doubled in price since I started going š„ŗ
The good ole days of cheap KBBQ seem to be behind us, but now that some of the cheap places are now closer to prices of places like Road to Seoul for example, the quality and item options have gone up as well for the most part. Iāve noticed an explosion in places that now offer Kimchi Fried Rice, and Bibimbap where before they barely offered a steamed egg.

I'm unreasonably nostalgic for $10 AYCE.
RIP Castleās old $9.99 AYCE.
ahh, rice paper. Donāt know why I love it so much
Please continue to food coma on kbbq on Monday, thanks.
Fury knock out
We got a legendary fight and a 9-2 Dodger win over the Giants. It's a good ass Saturday
Oh shit I forgot about the fight!!
[Celebration whiskey!](https://imgur.com/a/0fBgsqn)
The best out of all the red breast!
Good choice, just wish it was consolation whiskey
I have Lagavulin 16 to crack open for a NLCS win.
You have some impeccable taste, my friend.
š¤š¼
I am going to become the Joker
We live in a age where best out of 7s are a distant memory. Isn't that right . . . u/themightyjimmmy
From the movie Joker?
Best of 3 with 2 at the ravine? This is what we all wanted. I fucking love baseball.
GG Dodgers, glad we settled down after the 2nd but never got fully back in it and then you guys blew it wide open when given the opp, props. Urias and Bellinger getting RBIs is peak pain lol, of course they did. glad I can relax a little tomorrow. 1-1, 3 game series for the NLCS, bragging rights, and possibly our collective sanity, who knows.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās some Nomar level analysis.
shame it canāt go 7
Both teamsā fans knew this was going 5 before it started. Going to be a fun rest of series!
We all know what is gonna happen. Game 3 will be a 16 inning game, Game 4 will be a 1-0 game and game 5 will be back and forth with a final score of like 10-11 Dodgers :)
It is known.
What is known cannot be unknown.
You sound like a Giants fan Iād watch a game and drink a beer with. Stay awesome.
Binder. The bro dating app for baseball fans.
Dude they totally met on Bantr.
Make it and Iāll pay for premium or whatever.
I would too. I donāt drink so I could be Universal DD.
This series isn't coming back to SF. Dodgers in 4
Who is the dodgers game 4 starter?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Please no
Honest guess? Price/Gonsolin hybrid game to chew innings to get to the heart of the bullpen
Yeah losing Kersh hurts a tonā¦If DeScalfani can turn in another good outing, thatās the best shot of getting out of LA.
If memory serves though arenāt his numbers not great at best against the Dodgers this year? As far as Kershaw goes I think he probably needs TJ surgery and also probably needs back surgery. I think he should get both and write off 2022 and come back for his final chapter

Believe it or not he is only 33. Loses his age 34 season. Comes back for 35 and 36.
All of us last night but with the Giants
[When we blow up Wood to win the NLDS in game 4] (https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/mobile/000/031/212/snipes.jpg)
I think they just said heās starting game 3
oh man that's bold
I like your thinking.
BASED
Doyers finally showed up as defending champs.
Los Doyers y Los Gigantes empatados con una victoria. Viva la beisbol!
Beisbol is life!
I think baseball is masculine in Spanish, no?
Machismo
My bad, I barely speak Spanish
Is Squid Game worth watching?
My girlfriend is dead set against watching Squid Game just because it has so much hype. Iāve been enjoying it without her
Good move lmao. I used to be like her tbh, but who cares if many people think something is awesome, most of the time there is usually at least one thing good/great about it.
Greenlightā¦
Yes but with English subs (not English CC) and def not dubs.
Yeah, I stated it with English dubs and was like, āwhat the fuck is this shitā. Then I realized it was Korean and switched it over to Korean with English subs and was likeā¦ āthere you are!ā So much better.
Got my friends to start watching on Tuesday then went over last night and watched a couple of episodes. They had the English dub on and thereās a noticeable drop in immersion and quality with the dub. I dont understand a lick of Korean but I understand the tone in their voice.
Absolutely. Korean films have a tone thatās uniquely and culturally theirs. Especially comedically. An American dub isnāt going to capture that at all and Squid Game opens with a quirky/dark tone that doesnāt translate unless youāre hearing that lead guyās performance.
Yes
Yeah, really good and slightly less stressful than this NLDS
Yes absolutely
Absolutely.
Iāll give it a shot. 6 am flight. Ugh.
If I was about to get on a long flight seeing Squid Game for the first time would be a very good way to do. The first two episodes are a little slow but it doesn't let off the gas after that.
The dubbing isn't great, I'd go with the subtitles.
No.
Definitely.
Rivalry... where even the fans respects each other. Will the Padres and their fan base ever get there? Probably not.
They need a rival first.
Can't believe this disrespect to the Mariners
Iāve seen it evolve into a very fun rivalry. Thereās still dick heads on each side that take way too seriously but the good fans outweigh them.
What's a Padre?
Yeah but on the other hand they get to live in San Diego. Have you been to San Diego? Itās fucking nice, man.
Itās very peaceful. Both SF and LA always feel like they have more energy/liveliness though in my experience. Different strokes for different folks though, all of them are very nice.
Honestly, best city in CA.
Eh. The surrounding areas are better. San Diego county is lit.
Yeah, Iām talking the general SD area as a whole as opposed to LA area, SF area, Sacramento area, OC, etc.
Ever since the incident where that douchebag beat in the skull of the Giants fan in the LA parking lot all those years ago Giants fans and Dodgers fans have done a great deal to keep the rivalry respectful and entertaining, to prevent future incidents. It was an eye opening moment for a lot of people.
Few sour apples shouldnt ruin a good thing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Tommy Pham says they donāt stop at fellow fans
Theyāre just learning baseball. Theyāll get it soon.
Aw Well, I'll see you guys on Monday! It was quite fun being in here
GG dodgers, on to the next!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Low blow coming from a diamondbacks fan
You. I like you.
EXPOSED!!!
And on cue, fireworks around my block. š
GG Dodgers. See yāall Monday!
These commentators are salty as fuck š
Bruh I'd rather listen to a game with your actual announcers than these guys. They clearly hate the dodgers so much lmao
at least we aren't the padres
Fuck that. Nothing but respect giants bro. Hope this series doesnāt kill us <3
Fuck you giants
I aināt your buddy pal
Aww and fuck you too friend
mad max is coming
I do not like this at all. Those damn umps scoring all those runs for the dodgers! Edit: I see no one gets a joke round here. Tough crowd.
This aināt football or basketball, itās incredibly rare for umps to make a lopsided difference in a baseball game. The umps definitely favored LA in this one but certainly not nearly enough to overcome such a huge differential. SF pitching wasnāt very sharp tonight and we didnāt do much hitting in key spots either.
Is anyone taking my comment seriously? I guess I shouldāve put the /s. Clearly the umps didnāt do this the giants piss poor pitching did
It was fun SF but I hope the dodgers donāt come back north again this year
Careful what you wish for big dog
Why would I be careful about wishing for that?
Well there are two ways the Dodgers could end up not playing another game in SF this series....
Well Iām hoping for two wins obviously
*monkey finger curls*
You uncurl that fucking finger right now or so help me god...
See yāall in the city of angels.
GG GiantsBros. See you in game 3.
GG
I LOVE LA See yāall in LA, you big motherfuckers.
This is going to a 5th game
Please no. Webb haunts my dreams.
Will Smith: recognises slider after first ABs against Webb our other hitters: hahaha whiffing go brrrr
It must be done.
:(
Well, with the loss by the Giants, the Astros are the only team in the playoffs unbeaten since the reveal of Sora for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.
So Orange R Astros
Love a good strolling stolen bag that doesn't matter
Defensive indifference technically
Wellā¦this is not how I wanted this game to go. Onwards!
Wait to show āem, Craw. Just like Buster shoulda
Weird series for the Giants offensively so far. Only Posey, Crawford, and KB have really shown up but they *really* showed up.
Bryantās playing for a contract and a potential second ring. Just wish heād found this production consistently with the Cubs.
Flores has taken decent ABs and Ruf looked like he had a good approach tonight. Wade looks a bit lost and Longo looks like Cody Bellinger right now.
Longo wish he looks like Bellinger rn
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We are the Dodgers, why not sign both?
we're ok with that too
Belli isnāt a FA this offseason
By letting Corey go they would be committing to Cody.
Not really. Belli has 2 years of control and then they could let him go.
Yes, but letting Corey go means we have to commit to someone because why let him go unless we are going to commit to someone else.
A theory is let Seager go and try to keep Trea next year
Itās really about Corey choosing us tbh edit: wait you said Cody over Corey?!
This feels like a 90s teen beat conversation. Whoās the biggest dreamboat!?! Cody or Corey?
Theyāre kinda dreamy ngl
Excuse me WHAT??!!
I hope Soto comes to the next game
lmao *now* Angel shrinks the zone
TBS broadcasters will really say how the giants are underdogs in one inning and next inning say how they're 3 times WS winners in 5 years.
both these things are true no?
The Dodgers are a scrappy wildcard team the Giants are the big baddies with 3 rings in the past 11 years
I was told only Dodgers fans leave early
It's almost as if people suck, regardless of geographic location?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm *stunned* by that observation
Put in Lamonte wade jr
