DODGERS NEWS/RUMORS Thread

I used to get him confused with Leo Sayer.

 

I thought it was Kershaw.

 

yeah but at least he didn't sing those insipid fucking songs that stuck in your head like when i need you (you're welcome lol)
my mom liked him and it nearly drove me insane...wait

 

I mean like how else is he gonna up his trade value?

 

His twitter name is June Calhoun... he got confused

 

What if he wins the Cy Young. Will
You still have a problem?

 

Pff. Why shouldn't he? Cy awards haven't stopped Kershaw from choking in the past. Look, this dude has choked pre-sign stealing scandal and post-sign stealing scandal. Harsh truth. Pretty sure we had a 3 run deficit on our hands after his 1st 2 innings of LDS work just this past postseason..and this time he introduced a new flavor with his choke job - the HBP. Took the MF nearly 30 pitches to get out the 1st inning. Making 30M+ per - get through a couple innings without fucking up.

Never want to see Kershaw starting a playoff game @ Dodger Stadium again. Feels like LAD is always trying to fight back from multi run deficits after 1 or 2 innings with this guy. At least let our guys hit 1st and maybe we can get a lead for once - before he gives it back

 

I think Bizarro Universe must not only be in Superman comics.
Looks looks there's a few versions around. Enough to validate any spin bullshit that can come up, about anybody or anything.
I was trying to imagine what would happen IRL if anything posted on here, especially the mantra drone of boring hatred, meant even a tiny turd of difference on how the team is actually handled.

 

If Kershaw is one of the top candidates for Cy Young, then I have no problem with him starting a playoff series. I hope our problem in the playoffs is deciding who to start in Game 1 of a series because we had multiple pitchers look amazing.

 

Price Buehler Mays Wood sweep the series and Kershaw doesn’t choke at all. :thumbsup:

 

You know that's just a cute story, though. There's a reason most of us wanted to trade for Clevinger and slot him in @ #2 behind Buehler. Don't give a damn if the season is around the corner - nostalgia can kiss my ass - I haven't forgotten. We need a postseason #2 starter @ the deadline. Relying on Kersh is the definition of insanity.

 

It's a hypothetical answer to a hypothetical question. I'm hardly relying on Kershaw, but he's 3 years younger than Verlander was when he went from declining vet to otherworldly, so I'm not going to say I can predict the future with 100% certainty.

 

Tough comparing a guy in Kersh that's gonna be throwing 90 MPH by October to a Verlander that has one of the all-time golden arms. Old as he is - Verlander's velo is still humming. Even when Verlander was struggling - disinterested and pitching like shit Detroit - his velo was still bustin in 97-98. Whereas, on the other end - we have a Kersh that's hitting batters in the postseason while trying to gear it up a couple extra ticks.

Now, if you tell me Kersh has broken his arm and magically become Henry Rowengarner..

I'm impressed with Urias' ability to put together a strong outing despite introducing Calhoun to jello.

 

So Frankie Lindor says he's done trying to get a long term deal done with CLE.

Go gettem. Mamba mentality. They may as well get Clevinger's hurt ass, too - they know they love that MASH unit action.

Seager + Gray + Rios is a solid start
