DODGERS DODGERS trade AJ for CARLOS RUIZ

Alright :grouphug:

 

You have to put a "z" after it, then it is rendered to the " don't mention it, ever"... or, " it's totally OK with us" category.
PEDz.
Cheating doesn't matter...only if you get caught.

 

His wet dream appears to be working. Seager, Turner, Utley, Howie, etc are the kinda guys you need.

Kent was a hell of a ballplayer and a leader by example. Bonds and Bradley were pricks and he didn't back down. Kemp was a bkitch when he was younger (and reverted back, apparently) and Kent didn't like it. And it ain't because they were black, if that's what you're getting at.

 

FIFY

 

Hardly. He was a key element of the team as we had ZERO other backups to Grandal and he couldn't be relied upon for ANYTHING.

Thus he was a HUGE scab which needed gone in a big way... though perhaps not in the middle of the damned vaGiants series.

Terrible "D"
Even more Terrible "O"
Old.
Slow.

Nothing going for him BUT his clubhouse presence. With his shitty stats he'd better be giving BJ's in the clubhouse.

All of which equals zilch in the scorebook. Nada.



Running low on tissues here...

 

Why doesn't Kenta need a mentor? Ryu? Grandal? Kenley?

Puig doesn't need anyone to mentor him. He's a grown ass man who should just work hard and get better if he wants to be a big leaguer.

 

Yeah, 1st place and playing fundamental baseball even though setting records at placing players on the DL and having the most raggedy starting rotation I have ever seen in Dodger Blue. White is still a problem for some of you YET Whites are called the racists. Love how you defend the hell out of Puig yet practically cum on the keyboard for the AJ trade. That sure seems racially motivated. I mean, I like the trade, it makes sense but how can you seem so happy about it? AJ is a huge part of the fabric of this team, not just another White player that was struggling.
Kershaw , Turner, and Seager are ruining things. Team really needs Puig back.

I hope I'm misreading your intentions, bevcause they make me a little sad.

 

He's one of the finest MEN in baseball? A stud on all fronts?
I think he's got more to give us than AJ, but damn, is he Divine, like Jesus?
I just didn't know...and here I hated the mf for killing us.

 

Accurately stated (this time) by a guy who routinely issues random rash thoughts.

Having a mind open to alternate viewpoints is a significant hallmark of intelligence. I'd rather learn ThinkBlue's 'rash thought of the moment' than listen to another half baked but fully formed and completely unassailable nitwit opinion from certain others.

For that matter I'm sure I'm not alone in enjoying most of Rube's somewhat outlandish 'random rash thoughts' too.




most

 

At this point, I don't care anymore. What's done is done. I just want Ruiz to produce. Can't suddenly get into a losing streak. Gotta to win this series against the Cubs, cause the Braves will not be doing us a lot of favors.

 

Funny how that works right? But since you mentioned that, you are now racist. Just to add to it, did Seager have a chance without Utley on the team? I wonder if Howie could've mentored him. AGon failed Puig too.
I think Puig mentored Ryu lmao.

 

Aw fer chrissakes Fordie, AJ has not contributed to the Dodgers at an MLB 'competent' level in years. Years.

Recognizing that open fact does not make anyone a racist, he NEEDED to go... long ago.


Now there's plenty of other things to observe but AJ's departure will soon enough not be one of them

 

Shiiiiiiit what Puig and Ryu had together was special.


you know like special ed

 

You completely missed my point bro.

 

HOLY CRAP.....how did the AJ Ellis trade turn into a Racist discussion?!?!?!?!!

This trade makes 99% sense.....on paper, statistically, even culture it fits.....even under a mentorship to ALL the younger players. The 1% it does not makes sense is with Kershaw's psyche. Yeah if he is a mental midget, then we don't want him and can trade him in the offseason, but for the NOW, the team that is somehow managed to be 2 games in first from 7 games back a month ago with SP that are going an average of 3 innings a start.......yeah anything that upsets the apple cart is going to be an issue. Why fix what was not broken??

At this point, all we can do is hope that Kershaw is a pro and because of this elevates his game to the next level......if there is even such. But MGT's decision to pull this trigger may have not been the best idea....only time will tell.

 

Team was practically no hit by a pitcher at home that is just seemingly an OK pitcher. This trade probably had a lot to do with that. I was at the game, you could feel it in the air. The stadium was so quiet early on even against the Giants. Never ever seen it like that before.

The trade is a good one on paper and more than likely in reality too, but I see some damage to the clubhouse/team and even the fan base. I find it hard to feel happy about it at the moment.

 

Not surprised.. I rarely see eye to eye with racists

LOL
