    Well, Buchanan, a relative unknown with no record, will of course keep us down to about 4 hits, and there's an L for sure.
    Are only hope is that we are facing no LHP, which all of a sudden we are now like Andre Ethier as a team against.
    This team is like a woman who constantly is having her menses, and is uncomfortable most of the time. And obviously very bloated.
    Sorry for the analogy, but we are femmes sometimes I think.
    Donnie is our Midol, but he is way over the expiration date stamped on the box. The GM is a hot water bottle, ancient shit that time has passed eons ago.
    I can only assume that the Ethier on the bench most of the timeis to showcase Crawford, but knowing the Dodgers maybe it's to showcase Andre as a DH...who knows? he's a better fielder than Kemp, IMO.
    There are a couple of players with real heart, but generally the team is milquetoasts.
    I see Puig like a rampant lion, who although I don't enjoy his frequent ignorance of how the game is played, always tries and gives it 100%...that's better than guys dogging it and feeling some kind of priveleged status for what they did back when.
    If you don't want to play all out, then ask to go somewhere else, so we can get on without your overpaid, dead asses holding us back....

    After what they did to us earlier in the season, a sweep would be glorious. On so many levels.
    But this requires catching and throwing the ball, most likely.
    It will also require relief pitching, and there again, that's maybe beyond our reach.
    But it would be so nice...
    Hitting Ruiz at least once would be nice too, given my savage nature. But I'm no ear biter...

    probably went something like this...

    DBB: "Hey Matt, what do you think about moving out of CF."​
    KEMP: "I don't know, what do you think about sucking my dick!"​
    DBB: (sighs) "Never mind."​
    KEMP: "Punk ass bkitch!"​

    "Asked #Dodgers Mattingly what he thought of UZR/D-WAR ratings that show Kemp as one of worst defensive CFers in MLB this year: (cont)​

    Mattingly: "I’m certainly not going to sit here and bash anybody or publicly go into the numbers. We know what they are though."​

    It's going to be a problem when Dre is your best option at CF.

    But there is one option...

    If they have the balls to do it.

    I wonder how much better we'd have been year long with Ethier in CF and Kemp in LF. But that could never happen because who knows why. It's maybe too much speculating saying that it's cause Kemp won't allow it but when you have to have a private meeting with that dude every time something like this happens, but the other 3 OFs play wherever/whenever... Idk.

    Not to mention I wonder how long Ethier has been a better defender in CF over Kemp. Sure, he's not hitting as well but I think Ethier is at worst as good as Crawford to justify benching Crawford and keeping Ethier out there. Been nonsensical to have Ethier benched during this stretch
