Dodgers vs Braves NLCS Preview: Taking a Closer Look at Games 1 and 2 in Atlanta

Wilmer Flores did not swing. The umpire’s call was wrong, and he should have been given the opportunity to continue his at-bat against Max Scherzer, a pitcher he was 0-for-17 in his career against. He should have been given the right to strike out with dignity, flailing helplessly at the next pitch Max would have thrown. #JusticeforWilmer

Outside of this immense tragedy, Game 5 between the Dodgers and Giants was as good as advertised for anyone watching neutrally. Logan Webb was once again excellent, although not infallible – this time, the Dodgers would find a way to plate a run and push his pitch count more effectively than they did in Game 1.
