DODGERS NEWS/RUMORS thread

Same with Cubs fans. "Give Bartman a ring!".
Where was the grace before you won it all? Nowhere to be found.

I'd say they ruined Bartman's life, but the dude had way too much class and maturity to allow a game to ruin his life. I'm sure he's doing well.
All that incident did was expose the worst in sports and humanity.

In the case of the Cubs, it's even worse because it wasn't even Bartman's fault. Not one bit. So add STUPID on top of their scumbag-iness.

 

That's the problem, if he can't pitch on back-to-back days then they still need somebody to get the odd out against a LHB, unless Ferguson and/or Alexander figure it out over the next 8 weeks.

 

All things considered he should be fucking Monica Lewinsky!

 

If the overall volume of innings is low, could he start getting geared for back-to-back days in mid-September so he's ready for the post?

 

RIP Bill.
The sadness never stops.

 

fucking red sox would never have been there in 86 without Buckner's bat
i remember him as a rookie and a young Dodger going ALL out in the outfield after every ball
i used to see him working out as a 16 year old kid at the old NFAC in Chatsworth and was so in awe
hate what they did to him and leaves me forever a bahstan bitterman with no way back
fuck you beantown and RIP Billy Bucks

• Kike should only play against LHP, whether that's LF or 2B
• Muncy should play every day, whether that's 1B or 2B
• Pollock platooning with Joc is probably going to happen, which is sad considering he is making 55 million and doesn't historically hit that much better against LHP than he does RHP. We are basically just throwing him there because there's nowhere else. Bad bad signing.

If Lux takes over 2B, that only forces Kike back to the outfield. Muncy is playing every day. So I don't know what you mean by Lux completing everything if you also insist that he doesn't play the outfield.

 

Pollock, potentially a devastatingly poor signing so far (!), is much less of a problem as a position player considering all the interchangeable parts on the team. It's good enough offensively, right now anyway, to deal with a light hitting Kike, or Polly- whoever it is at any given time.
But the pen is a huge chink in the armor, overcome presently by a NL leading offense.
But should there be times when the O goes into a funk ( and safe to say it will), the bp, if performing zt the level it currently is, is a gaping wound. They simply are not good.
And without any measure of exaggeration at all this team has a 25 million dollar player that simply can NOT be used at all...even in a potential laugher like last night's perfect example.
Because Kelly will turn smiles into a frown in no time at all. He makes Baez, it his worst, look like Gagne at his best.
Amazing how good Bellinger is...and equally amazing how bad Kelly is.
His ineptness is communicable, and Floro has caught it, too.
Will no one rid us of this meddlesome pitcher?

 

Guess it's what teach suggested...came up on top of the keyboard as a choice, so I went with it.
Didn't think about it twice.
I'm no James Holzhauer.

 

huh? says" is it twatty or cuntish"?

 

Not sure if this was reported yet on here, but Andrew Toles has once again left the team. He had been down in Arizona getting into game shape. I think we are nearing the end of his tenure with the organization.

 

What is going on with Toles?

 

Nothing else was said other than that he had left to be with his family and the team supports him. Due to the quietness of it all, the speculation has been that he has had a recurrence of his anxiety issues.
