DODGERS/RED SOX

I’m imagining tonight going like NLCS game 6 when Kershaw blew up and Cubs eliminated us

 

i literally don't know what to say
still flabbergasted by roberts ineptness
props to hill and puig, who both deserve our praise
but everyone else can fuck off -- especially the pen
and i don't want to hear how baez and urias were "unavailable", when madson, alexander, floro, maeda and wood all pitched the night before as well
that was seriously one of the most crushing dodger losses i've ever endured
right up there with niedenfuer/ozzie, niedenfuer/clark, forster/morgan, broxton/stairs, kershaw/cards, kershaw/cards 2
only worse
this one happened in the world series
in a crucial game where we could -- and should -- have evened the series and had all the momentum heading into today
but now we're down 3-1... essentially dead

hoping (against the odds) kershaw opts out
his work here is done, (regular season) legacy intact
good man, just not a good baseball player come october
the prime of inarguably one of the greatest (again, regular season) pitchers ever, wasted
good luck kersh, thanks for the memories

also hoping kenley retires
still has flashes of brilliance but...
he's just not the same
the confidence and swagger aren't there
and knowing personally how heart problems affect you...
the big guy needs to take care of himself and his family

do not re-sign machado under any circumstances
don't care how good a player he is...
his lazy, selfish, spoiled, entitled attitude is cancerous
fuck him

trade/release/don't resign alexander, wood, grandal, barnes, dozier and joc
too many hot/cold limited relievers and streaky platoon type players

fire roberts
offer the job to utley (doubt he accepts)

and sign...
don't care

 

homo?

 

tonight's prediction

Spoiler

we lose

 

• “We've been grinding every day. We've been grinding all year," Machado said. "We've been with our backs against the wall before. Leave it on the field these next three games. It's been done before. We've got to stay positive. We know what type of team we have. I believe in everybody in here that we can do it. If there's a team that can come back, 3-1, it's definitely us."

seriously dude, stfu with your contrived bravado

 

• “You’ve got Ryan, who has a very good track record of getting righties and lefties out, and actually left-handers considerably more, and we just didn’t execute,” Roberts said. “Moreland hit a changeup first pitch that was up, and he got the prior hitter to pop up to the catcher, and he made a bad pitch and unfortunately Mitch took a really good swing on it.”

asshole
we didn't execute?
no, you made the wrong call
stop making excuses why you took hill out and take ownership of what you did
there's a reason guys like machado take zero responsibility/accountability for their actions...
because supposed leaders like you show them the way
fuck off

 

Even DT is a better manager than Dave Roberts

Watching the Dodgers/Red Sox final innings. It is amazing how a manager takes out a pitcher who is loose & dominating through almost 7 innings, Rich Hill of Dodgers, and brings in nervous reliever(s) who get shellacked. 4 run lead gone. Managers do it all the time, big mistake!

 

You are very lucky if that's the case. About half of those have let me down big time so I guess the Dodgers letting me down just feels normal.

 

could be worse
we could all be gay...







The San Francisco Giants fail to see any downside to this scenario.
