    A dead rotting body is probably more accurate.

    Friedman and Zaidi better go into hiding....

    the fate of the team will be different if baseball decides to remove the shift
    i don't take issue w the relevance of analytics but imo it needs to be adjusted
    launch angles and predictable positioning is just boring
    .230 hitters striking out 200 times a year is also something i can do without
    people that say hitters should just adjust and go opposite field are not respecting how difficult that actually is
    i don't think many players have ever been able to do that consistently that weren't named Gwynn, Mattingly or Boggs
    davey is just a pawn, and not a very good one of those
    i also hope his tenure is over soon

    5 GB with around 30 left to play. We need to pretty much sweep all the games we have left with the Rockies and D-Bags at a min, assuming we don’t fall further back by then.

    It’s jusy looking too bleak at this point with no indication yet that these guys are turning any corner.

    " Not in our house! " - Puig after that dumb ep with Hundley/SFG
    Very next series @ Dodger Stadium..swept by the Cardinals
    All in your house, cigar lit, shoes on the coffee table, robbing you with a butter knife
    Dodgers are in need of real leadership, one way or another

    It's a function of instruction... you don't teach it then they don't learn it

    When ANY new player gets to the Dodgers the hitting coaches IMMEDIATELY take them aside and 'instruct' them how to hit more homers. Not how to hit to the opposite field. We choose that focus daily.

    Buddy I stopped playing way young but even I was taught that skill. Open stance v. closed stance. Not so complicated. And I did it as a switch hitter. It's not so hard as you intone. BUT it does take away from HR and OPS #'s which drive your salary soooooo....

    Make more money or be more effective... and the winner is America!! Which = More $$$; and "F" the team results!! Yay!! Wait is that what you asked for?? Yeah No I thought not.

    Yeah, it's still too early, and yes it's pessimistic, but if we don't even get to the playoffs this year, do we do a Gnats thing and keep adding to the rotten corpse, or in true Friedman fashion, do we rebuild, trade away anyone we can, and rebuild from the ashes.

    I just say this because after being 1 game shy of winning it all, it seems the FO threw in the towel for the sake of saving money.

    I just hoped they would save money after winning it all.
