    I agree with all of this. He has unlimited potential, but his arrogance is unwarranted at this point.

    I don’t want this game to be in Toomgis range.

    I’m telling you, there is no way Toomgis should be put into a do or die game with a 1 run lead.

    Nice seeing Babe Ryu return to form.

    Nice comeback from the HBP by Bozo to get the GDP and whiff of Arenado. Thought the game was slipping away there.

    Good to see Smith finally show a pulse at the plate.

    Eh don't know if it's warranted or not, but what do we want, a wholesome Kershaw clone? Because that's obviously worked to the tune of adding nothing to the WS trophy case. Buehler's more than likely the guy they're banking for the post..not Kersh or Ryu. The dynamic power arm..usually the case in OCT. He's it. Kersh used to be it..no longer powerful and of course, never the fortitude to make pitches when it mattered most. Buehler being different, perhaps more Justin Verlander than Clayton Kershaw between the ears, lends at least some optimism for the ultimate goal down the line.

    All I ask, personally, is that he works hard, works smart, and be a team guy. Don't be a Puig. A corny guy more interested in having fun and being a celeb. And don't be a Kershaw or Jansen. One who's needed a consistent changeup for about 3 years now, and the other who's needed to add to his bag of tricks for a couple years as well. Buehler can't sit around and think hard work isn't for him..must continually expand his game and stay a step ahead in his career path. Being that he's a Vandy kid, I expect him to be a little more clever than Kersh. I also expect no one in the org to knock the chip off Buehler's shoulder because the culture within LAD is soft, so maybe Buehler himself can help toughen up this soft as charmin franchise? Again, we'll find out in OCT

    I’ll say it. I’m excited about the way Corey Seager is swinging the bat lately. 100% homo.

    compare his stats from when he played RF everyday to when they started moving him around to CF and 1B.

    as a CF: .274/.338/.500
    as a 1B: .290/.409/.613

    as a RF: .310/.415/.648

    He's our best CF though. That's the position he has the least amount of ABs. But his numbers as a 1B don't fall off too much as compared to as a RF

    I think Irish's thoughts make more sense though, he had a super hot start and now isn't as hot.

    Belli is just our best defender period. If he were right handed he'd probably be the best 2B, SS, 3B we have

    I do believe he went cold just before he started stringing together starts in CF, so maybe it's a coincidence this time. But..those numbers will be added to the overall career sample size nonetheless. And the career offensive numbers do not like Belli in CF as much as they like him on the corners. Do we call it organizational failure that Belli is the best option we have for CF? We know they tried to trade Puig for Jackie Bradley, who can be a mess offensively, but very good in CF defensively. I keep going back to Toles. Toles was on his way to being something and the knee injury/minors life sent him spiraling. Pray for DJ Peters in CF at some point next season?
