LA Dodgers Advance to NLCS

The Thunder evidently played an exhibition game in Tulsa last night in which NBA players sat on the bench while a G League game was played to help both the Thunder and Nuggets makes some roster decisions.

Pre season NBA is to evaluate talent and somewhat get in game shape. I was actually more interested to see how OU’s Austin Reaves would fare in his game with the Lakers in his quest to become an NBA guard. I would guess Austin will be back and forth between the G League and the Lakers. He had a tough shooting night, but did have 7 assists in just under thirty miutes of play.

BTW…Davion Mitchell and his Kings beat the Lakers in this game. I hope for Russell’s sake he can figure it out playing with LeBron. That’s all I’m going to say.

The Dodgers prevailed 2-1 in what was a great post season game with everything a baseball fan wants attached to a post season game.

A pitching duel which featured the Giants’ Logan Webb versus the entire Dodgers staff in essence, but with Bulldog Max Scherzer of Washington Nationals fame closing out the last inning.

Two former OKC Dodgers accounted for both of the Dodgers’ two RBIs with Cory Seager driving in Mookie Betz with the first run, then with Cody Bellinger driving in Justin Turner with the game winner.

I don’t think the Dodgers messed up their pitching rotation too much last night for their upcoming series with the Atlanta Braves. But we’ll see. Goggle Boy is key in the Dodger’s rotation. I love the goggles…almost as menacing as a Tyler Herro snarl or Max’s glare from the mound.

Mookie Betz went 4-4 and Max closed the deal. That’s the thing with the Dodgers… they have a great developmental system, yet open the war chest to acquire players like Mookie, Max, and Trea Turner.

Sam Presti still searching for a shooting guard to put alongside Kevin Durant. How ironic… someone like Shai could have been the perfect hybrid guard to be the championship bridge between Durant and Westbrook in historical retrospect.

In the American League..it’s the streaking Boston Red Sox vs. the Houston Astros. I like Boston. Another former OKC Dodger from 2015…one KiKe Hernandez is tearing it up at the plate for the Bosox along with the entire team.

KiKe’s real name is Enrique…just so you know. No wonder he prefers going by KiKe.

I like Alex Cora as a manager. The previously cheating Astros can hit the ball as well, but this time around it will be without George Springer and along with Altuve…I thought it was Springer who made the Astros special in post season play more than the fact they were stealing signs.

So.. I’m hoping it’s the Dodgers versus the Red Sox in the World Series.
