The Dodgers pursued the Giants nearly all season for the NL West crown, finishing a game behind. On Thursday, they can finally surpass the Giants in the NLDS.
and all summer long the underdog Giants held the favorites off, just long enough into the fall to claim the National League West crown on the final day of the regular season and end the Dodgers’ eight-year division reign.
“I feel like our team and the Dodgers team have both been playing meaningful games for a while now,” Giants catcher Buster Posey said. “Obviously this one coming up on Thursday is the most meaningful to this point and it should be fun.”At 25, Julio Urías is already six years into his major league career. The longtime prospect has come of age at the right time for the Dodgers.
“The adrenaline definitely changes, and the thought process a little bit, too,” Urías said in Spanish. “But it’s the same game. I’m not trying to do too much, just trying to be ourselves and trust the talent that we have.” After the game, Roberts said his team didn’t make the necessary in-game adjustments. Using a golf analogy, he lamented that the Dodgers kept using their driver, taking big swings, with no success. On Wednesday, he said he believes the offense will utilize more clubs, “play for the slug,” and use the entire field.
“It’s highly unlikely,” Roberts said. “The goal is still to win the World Series and have Max starting Game 1 in the NLCS, if we get there, increase that chance, but obviously I’m not immune to the fact that you don’t get there unless you win Game 5.”Max Scherzer unlikely to pitch for Dodgers in Game 5, Dave Roberts says
