Kemp being out is definately not good, hopefully its not for too long. However, I don't think that we are in trouble yet. Kershaw is not gonna throw goose eggs everytime out there but he is just fine and still the ace of the staff. We should also be buyers so I don't feel like the sky is falling.
It's true it will be challenging to find ways to win with Matt Kemp on the shelf again. I think they can weather the storm. It's not like A.J. Ellis got hurt. If you're looking for a guy to carry the team more than he has already A.J. is the man for the job. The Dodgers won't be giving up first place this season. A.J. Ellis won't let them.
This, us saying Kershaw isn't himself means he's still pitching better than 95% of all pitchers instead of his usual 100% better than all pitchers.
I love AJ, but the love needs to be directed to Dre. Dude's been a monster this year. I can't believe we haven't given him an extension yet.
And the only reason I think we'll be OK is because every other team in the West sucks. Lol. Or in the NL for that matter.
This far into the season, If we can somehow get a bat and Hamels (or Grienke if the Brewers just die) we can actually take the NL because only the Cards are a serious threat. But of course, a lot has to line up for that to happen.
that and ONLY that... CK pitched poorly and Bills has been crap... if the pitcher do their job, we'll be there... another thing is that DBB needs to stops sending a different lineup every day... give guys a role and tell them that they need to perform on it... trust your players.. stop this shuffling insanity...
:thumbsup: CK has pitched well enough to win, but Bills is fucken garbage. I'm seriously beginning to hate the guy -- and how bad is it that I trust Lilly and Capuano 100x more than I trust him. Hell, Harang isn't that much worse, seriously
you know what? now it's on the new owners real easy to come in when we're running away with the division they need to make some moves, big moves if possible show us that commitment to winning you tried to sell us at the press conference you know, that same presser where you said Frank wouldn't be getting squat
Everyone just needs to chill a little. No teams trade this early and, if you do, you get ass raped because no one is truly out of it. We are still in 1st place in ALL of baseball.
