The Dodgers shocked no one getting to the finals. To be honest, Cleveland didn't shock anyone either. In real life the Tribe underachieved and got shocked by a Yankee team that got hot at the right time. On paper they were a legit #1 seed, so they earned their place in the "show".
Managers Keith MacDonald and Stan Skawinski are top notch pilots, so their presence in the finals should come as no shock to anyone reading this.
While the series was going on, Keith hit me with PBP updates. I have to say it was nail biting, especially game 7, which had more twists and turns than a backwoods road in the French Alps (obscure cycling reference).
Here is the running commentary from Keith to me over Discord:
 |
| Game 3 hero |
Game 1:
CLE up 2-0 after 2 innings, two solo homers
3-0 after 6.5, another solo homer
bug issue - it is mixing up game stats with replay stats
CLE wins game one 6-0
Game 2
Rich Hill vs Bauer
CLE puts up 6 in the first
Dodgers answer with 1: 6-1 after one
10-1 after 3.5 innings
CLE goes up 2-0 with an 11-1 game win.
and for some reason, it claims that the Dodgers with 52 players are 21 over the limit...previously it has been 7 over the limit
Game 3:
Dodgers up 1-0 after 1
Darvish is tipping his pitches...CLE up 6-1 after 3
Dodgers score 2 in the 4th....down 6-3 after 3.5
2 run homer for CLE - 9-6 after 6
top of the 9th, two men on, one out - crash
time to see what I can do against Miller
Eibner pinch hits and brings in 2
bases loaded - 2 outs, down 10-9
Old Man Chase Utley at bat
Bellinger brings in 2, 13-10
Kenley in to pitch the bottom of the 9th...Dodgers up 13-10
error showed up again....Baez has to pitch to a batter (he is not tired, so it is not horrible)
Chris Taylor hit one deep in the 3rd. LAD up 1-0 after 2.5
Chisenhall ties it up int he 5th
extras in game 4
Bruce hits one to the warning track...caught - to the 13th
2 on, no outs for the Indians in the 14th
double play,man on third, two outs
Edwin Encarnacion single...CLE wins, goes up 3-1 in the series
Game 5:
Kershaw rematch with Kluber
Joc goes deep in the 2nd, LAD leads 1-0 after 1.5
Lindor ties it in the 5th.
Joc brings in one in the 9th
(a lot of pick off on first - maybe Dave should look at that)
LAD up 2-1 going in to bottom of 9th
Kenley in to pitch (3rd game in a row)
Dodgers win 2-1. CLE leads series 3-2
had to reconnect between games three times now
it gets stuck on "Loading screen" in lower corner for me, but let's me put in lineup - but can't play game
Run Error 9 - game crashed before start again
Seager leads off the game with a HR
1-0 after one
Seager with an RBI double
Jackson with a 2 run HR in the 5th
Cody homers in the 5th. LAD up 4-2
Joc pinch hits in 6th and brings in 2
when we reconnected, it had no one warming up (Maeda had been ready to come in before the crash)
so I had to put in an unwarm pitcher (change of inning)
Darvish vs Carrasco
Zimmer 2run HR in the 2nd
Yu gets pulled after 8 outs
Utley scores on a wild pitch in the 5th to tie it at 3
Brantley just put CLE ahead 4-3
AGon ties it in the 6th
CLE has 1st and 2nd with 1 out - Kenley in to pitch
CLE 1st and 2nd with one out
Joc pinch hits for pitcher
chase singles...grandal caught in a run down
Kike K's
Jose Ramirez walks, 2 on, no outs
This has been a bullpen game
DP, one scores, CLE up 5-3
sorry - CLE up 6-4....forgot the score
Seager, Taylor, Bellinger
Seager single
Taylor K's
DP game over, series over, Cleveland wins
Congratulations to Stan
