GAME THREAD Dodgers/Nats

One hard hit ball the entire inning.

 

Silly rabbit ... shutdown innings are for kids ...

 

FIFY, Daniel Carver...

 

Whoever told TBS their app was quality enough to broadcast sports ... they can suck it. That app crashes every inning like clockwork.

 

Must be another game I'm watching. I saw a HR and a triple.
Harder than Joc hits anyway.

 

Yes, he does...he read Justin Turner's book.
Like Patton read Rommel's....

 

Triple was a weak fly ball the opposite way.

 

As I said, Walker melting down.

 

Hell of a time to take a day off Ferris.

 

The Joc at 1B experiment has been a miserable failure so far.

Getting hit around is one thing, losing your shit is another. Buehler has some growing up to do.

 

6+ runs scored on Walker in 3 of his last 5 starts.

 

Welp ... Buehler is certainly the culprit today ... but if Dipshit Davey needs further proof that his ROP program for teaching Joc 1B was a good idea ... just watch that fucking throw to home .... It isn't as if this Dodger team sucks They do not. But a blind man can see in a second that it is the FO and Roberts who misuse the tools they have.

Joc should NEVER be an infielder, Pollock should not be starter except against lefties, and Walker is not yet a dependable starter.

What a clusterfuck.

 

Yimi gives up the blast in 3 ....2 .... 1 ...

 

OK ... Yimi didn't suck, but Joc sucked plenty enough for all of us ..

 

It's down the road, of course, but certainly not out of the realm of possibility, that we face these guys in the post.
I think Orel makes a good point when he says that they can throw 3 very equal starters to ours at us. In fact, if Ryu doesn't get some of his early season domination back, we might be on the short end of that all.
Buehler sliding quite a bit, and Kershaw as we all know, a definite loser.
Sure hope it's not these guys we face.

 

Joc " platinum glove " Pederson, you mean?

 

I get it, and you are right to be concerned, but here's my eleven cents of useless contribution to this notion:

I'd rather see LA lose to the Nats and not embarrass themselves vs the Yankmees or the Asstros... I'm over this bridesmaid nonsense.

Besides, MLB tells the announcers to sell the parity angle. They want folks to think the Braves & Nats & Cubs "maybe could possibly quasi semi could-be pose a threat" to LA come October. Fact is - Los Angeles is the biggest problem that Los Angeles has to win the championship. Everyone knows LA stepped on their own dicks in 2017 versus Houston. They say otherwise because MLB and the networks would fire their asses if they spoke the truth. As for last year, they all knew LA's bullpen was swiss cheese, and that Boston's offense would crush every mistake the starters made. They knew it, but they tried to sell it otherwise.

So here we have a 105 win Dodger team, and now, MLB and ESPN and the rest want us to think the Twinkies or the Gnats or the Rays or the Nats or whoever in fuck-all is the next thing to make October matter? Horseshit. TBS is already selling ad time to their sponsors, and pimping their pissy programming like Conan and Samantha Bee, hoping every series goes he distance. It's all smoke and mirrors.

This is LA's WS to find a way to lose, probably to Houston in my opinion. We are in for more dropepd hopes than Joc drops popups.

 

Schultz pitching for LA?

 

At least he is confident.
Can't stand him
