    You would get murdered by stuttering Vassegh if you said any of that on Dodger Talk (propaganda machine). No matter how right you are, Kenley has protected status and it all comes at the expense of a growing drought.

    Because everyone has already penciled in Alonso for ROY honors. More HRs than Bellinger.
    Also, I have what Kenley has...cardiac-wise, that is. My penis is much larger.
    Of course, I'm more than twice his age, but you can feel great for a weak, then like shite for a week or more.
    I don't know how his particular ailment manifests itself, at his age, I didn't have it until old, but it's just not linear improvement. My experience, anyway.
    I guess if he's cleared medically, it's not a problem... supposedly.
    But if he is feeling weird like happens to me sometimes, he's lucky he can throw at all, much less his oft-maligned 91 mph.

    From the LAT.....surprised his numbers are this good vs Colorado.

    Sunday starter Kenta Maeda is 6-3 with a 2.26 ERA in 16 career games — nine of them starts—against the Rockies, limiting them to a .195 average and 1.02 WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched).

    vassegh is such a bootlicking kiss ass
    fucken ckunt will do anything to keep his job
    give me someone who's unafraid to voice their opinions
    that's what made al downing so great back in the day...
    he would rip anyone if they deserved it
    didn't always agree with him, but his takes were always well researched

    The only role Vassegh should play (if he must be employed), is reporting news/facts from the manager, players, and clubhouse.
    No way this lightweight has what it takes to host a show and offer insightful commentary.
    He says shit like, "also, too" every night.
    I don't think how someone speaks is necessarily and indicator of their knowledge or intelligence, but speech and articulation is a skill set that someone in radio MUST have.
    He just so happens to be stupid when it comes to baseball, too. Yet acts like he knows everything.

    When Kevin hosted the show, I'd sometimes get bummed out when he slammed analytics (although he didn't very often) but at least he knew baseball from a wealth of relevant experience. Vassegh has no knowledge of analytics or experience.

    Bold = Tee'd up

    how someone speaks isn't necessarily an indicator
    but you have to know/cater to your audience
    i type in lower case and sometimes skip punctuation because its easier
    but i have a different gear, and would never turn in a term paper or resume that way
    i'm not sure vessegh possesses more than one gear
    his vocabulary is limited and he just doesn't say intelligent things
    his support of kenley would be fine if he said something like "i think he'll be fine come september"
    but to continue blindly praising someone who's clearly been struggling -- without providing a plausible argument -- is both ridiculous and insulting
    or as @blazer5 would say, fuck that puto

    It was painful watching intern Joc attempt to play 1B last night. Might try a first baseman's glove instead of one of Sugar Ray Leonard's leftovers.

    Beatty has no instincts around the bag, but at least he can catch the ball.

    I guess this "experiment" is OK with this huge lead, but I'd hate to see it in a game that counts.

    The team is so good that it gives them a way to defend Kenley by using our record. We need an elite BP arm.

    He has the opportunity watch the team every day, he access to the players, and the same opportunity as anyone else to hop on the computer and isolate Kenley's performance to see how he projects moving forward.
    Kenley's HR:FB ratio is double what it was in 2017. His ERA is 3.5 and his FIP matches.
    He is allowing way more (20 percent more than 2017) base runners to score.
    His command and "stuff" is way down, too. Vassegh surely can see that???

    Kenley does not suck, but he is not a relief ace or "closer". And his ego impacts our roster. Infuriating.

    Good god, the Rockies have their two sideline reporters doing the game on TV today. The play-by-play is fucking awful as the woman doing it is just not good. Making me long for Goodman is not a good thing.

    Expand the fucking nets, Christ! It’s not just about fan safety, but these dudes take it pretty hard when they hit someone. You could lose a guy for days or weeks just from the mental burden something like this causes.
