    David Vasseh was trolling callers about "apologizing" to Kenley. "Never give up on the greats". All the dude does is choke when it matters the most. And now he's a diminished version of his former self.
    Don't care if he didn't give up any runs since the Renfroe G.S.
    We all knew he would give it up to Rizzo.

    1 run off Yu Darvish. This team is a special kind of awful.

    This team has no shot of winning a world series. They need too many pieces in the bullpen and this FO won't sell the farm to fix it.

    Yup, either Friedman is too much of a coward or our owners are refusing to loosen the purse strings.

    You know which one it is. Friedman wouldn't even have the job if they planned on buying name brand. Fuck this ownership group.

    The only reason they picked up Darvish and Machado was because they cost virtually nothing in terms of specs and money.
    They will never go out and get the player to put us over the top if it means giving up something of consequence.

    The Red Sox gave up Moncada who was a top 5 spec at the time, if not the top SS to get Chris Sale. The Yankees were willing to take significant money to get Stanton.

    We aren't willing to do that shit.

    But but but...Vassegh says he has 20 saves! He's one of the greats!!!!

    Nevermind his choking in the post and 5 batting practice cutters every single outing.

    what i don't get is this new game requires flexibility in every position
    except for "closer"
    wtf is that anyway?
    fucking rich hill should come back and close the next night if the situation warrants it

    Crappy feeling
    To win 105 games and probably lose in 5 games in the WS.
    You cannot win with such a huge weakness.
    They won't even acknowledge the problem.

    3.45 ERA and a disgusting HR:FB ratio, which is a symptom of a flat, shitty, batting practice cutter and poor command. It only takes one swing to get beat and he serves up 5 or 6 HR pitches every night. The good teams take advantage.

    This is not a WS closer and that is what makes passing on Kimbrel maddening. All Kimbrel cost was money. No prospects. But precious Kenley must be coddled.

    Now we have the daunting task of acquiring 2-3 elite relievers via trade. Impossible and impractical. No way the F.O. gets this bullpen where it needs to be.

    It's not like Jansen sucks, but he is no longer good enough to dictate the direction of this team and sabotage our chances. The SNLA and AM570 crew just make endless excuses for the guy. What happens in October if we just ignore the signs? Cliche after cliche about "off nights". The dude is giving up bombs!

    Even if he could, Dodgers would settle for Anthony Tolliver.

    I saw a segment on "Kimbrel gets the Cubs even with the Dodgers now to surpass them in the post".
    They don't even need him, evidently.
    They've got Pedro fucking Strop.

    I get the reason for Darvish not signing with the LAD.
    The kids in school in LA enduring taunts thing is valid, even admirable.
    Family.first, and it's not like he couldn't get a job somewhere else...
    But I don't get the " first thing he did after signing with Chicago, is call Roberts and tell him beating him is top priority " now.
    Why the extreme Dodgers hate if all that was in place ?
    And whatever he did, or didn't do with us, and whatever hatred goes his way, he pitched a great game last night.
    And got his revenge, however misplaced it was.
    The baseball gods are not with us I fear, and Kenley Jansen is their instrument of illustrating that.
    Yup, very effective and equally as sobering.
