    I think Taylor would be more valuable as a 2B so it essentially upgrades two positions. Wouldn’t help the lineup much but helps in win shares

    Definitely tired of watching LAD's best CF play 1B
    Jackie Bradley Jr. wouldve sufficed
    Anytime you can get a Jackie in Dodger blue, tends to work out

    I feel like the team would accumulate a lot of wins by way of depth and collective value, but once the post season rolled around we would be outmatched. But we lose even when we have the best players so meh

    I do think there’s merit to that. Just not sure what the solution is other than superstars which don’t come available that often. I’d give Harper whatever he wants. But I think the Yankees, Cubs, Phillies and Nationals will too

    Fuck Strasburg. I didn't see anything so insurmountable about him at all.
    and while I'm at it, Scherzer, "the best pitcher in baseball", wasn't all that fucking grand either. We had plenty of chances against him...we just suck. Just like our fail with bases loaded tonight.
    Ryu was better than both of them.

    Glimpses of the old Kenley last night.

    Velocity up a tick and much better location. In his last outing vs SD it looked like he was scared to throw a strike. Not so last night.

    Hopefully the start of his turnaround.

    saw that too
    he had a different look in his eyes
    someone (turner perhaps) got into his head and reminded him who he was
    he did look scared last time, as you alluded
    last night he looked like the old kenley
    velocity was up, the cutter had a lot of movement
    was actually glad (in retrospect) he walked adams
    would have been real easy for him to go into "here we go again" mode
    but instead of cowering, he embraced the moment -- attacked weiters and put him down
    nice to see the big guy back
    hopefully it’s for good

    His "misses" against Adams were inside. He was just missing that target. That's a good place to miss.

    Loved how he sawed off Harper.

    that frightened look is known as the "look of baez" and its definitely contagious
    the look on cingrani otoh looked more like vintage steve howe cocaine cocky to me...scary
