Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants (Apr. 15th - 17th)

What hurts about last night is that it was a classic "what if" kinda game. If Beckett blew up and allowed 10 runs, which is a possibility nowadays, you can just chalk it up to another bad start, and the Dodger's offensive/defensive woes wouldn't have mattered so much.

But Beckett pitched well. He deserved a win. We coughed up a bunch of wasted scoring opportunities by failing to do simple things like an effect sac fly for an RBI that could've made it a 4-2 game going in the ninth. I didn't understand subbing out Dee when he is on a hot streak both in terms of hitting and stealing bases. Why put in League in a potential game losing, walk-0ff situation. He's a guy you put in when you're up 8 runs, not when you're tied going into the bottom of the inning.

Classic "what if" game. I hate those.

 

Oh, and to top it off, I live in the Bay Area, and they are eating it up....the fact that the Angels lost to Oakland, Dodgers lost to the Giants, the Warriors have gotten the best of the Lakers and now face the Clips, and the Sharks/Kings face off in the 1st round of the playoffs. I'm sick of it.

LA teams need to man up in the next couple of weeks.

 

Let's win tonight and finally beat Bumgarner for once!

 

I'd disagree that Beckett pitched well and "deserved" a win. He kept battling, and that was good. But somehow managing to get out after 5 innings with no runs after loading the bases twice, hitting a batter, committing an error... There was a good amount of luck in that.

You deserve a win when you go 7 innings and control the other team.

 

I don't know if it's because I have more shit on my mind...not having the Dodger channel...or what...but it's really difficult to get amped up these days for the games. I think the length of these games takes a lot out of it too. It's difficult to watch an entire game when they consume so much time. The pace of these games make it nearly impossible.

 

If we don't fix our defense and bullpen problems we will have issues. I know it's early but we can't seem to hold big leads or little leads for that matter. For a bullpen that is the highest paid in baseball they sure aren't living up to the bill.

Bring back paco and League just needs to be DFA'd already. Who gives a shit if they still have to pay him. It's either pay him to sit on the bench and/or blow/lose games or pay him to sit at home and not have any affect on any dodger game in the future. For fucks sake they are still paying Andruw jones for making a mockery of himself so I think they can absorb leagues contract too. Make a choice FO.....the right choice.

 

Fuck the Giants and their 7:15 start times. Go Blue!!!

 

Can't believe we lost to Lincecum

 

Making Uncle Maury proud!!

 

We lost to ourselves.

 

Vogelsong is awful, let's rock him

 

Dee with a scorched lead off stand up single

 

Fuck Crawford. Stealing money from his team since 2011.

 

Yeah it's cool let's not have Dee steal.
