GAME THREAD LAD at SFG

Wish his clutch bat matched his arm and range. He's got a cannon and it's very accurate. Makes throws from the hole like I've never seen.

 

Driving in that run yesterday to tie it 1-1 will do. Fully appreciative. He could always go the other way and do diddly nothing or ground into 1,000 DPs ala Kemp. Good vibes.

His arm looks even better at 3B. It's no Caminiti bazooka arm, but it's close

 

I was already typing "watch this dork with glasses clear the bases" but he GIDP before I clicked post.

 

?

Can't pay 320M for a good arm. He'll be locked into 3B within 2 years if not earlier and his OPS over the past three years is 840, which is nothing special for a 3B. He's going to be an albatross IMO.

 

The great arm was highlighted because of fsu's post. He's averaging about 35 HRs over the last 4 seasons and just turned 26.

If Machado were to give LAD an .840 OPS over the next 5 seasons, basically what Arenado gives the ROX away from Coors, LAD should take that and his plus defense on the left side and be happy with the buy. The order behind Turner's too shaky to turn down a proven producer in his prime. Don't know how much longer they can expect Turner to carry the middle of the order..reasonable expectation is that Turner begins declining sooner rather than later.

 

Dodgers said they would celebrate if they clinch the 2nd WC today. Weak

 

Grandal "I would rather be in this situation than 19 games up"

Bye bye

 

Yeah I signed on this morning to say exactly that.. even in this shitty low effort season we did at least manage to send the extra well rested MadBum out on the "L" that gave him another losing records.

Doesn't mean much.. but I'll take it because this playoff season could be short.. "IF" we get that far

 

Just lost a lot of respect for Ned colletti when he said Kenley is the team MVP over JT

 

well at least we know now what all those passed and dropped balls have been about
he didn't want to get too far out there
really makes me want to have him back

 

and i just turned on the tv to hear Kenley asked about the same thing and he echoed the sentiment...
so they colluded it all makes sense now
WS here we come!

 

Shit just got a WHOLE lot more interesting. Cards beat the Cubs which means the Cubs are now tied in the loss column with the Brewers. Dodgers still need to win and they’re in, but also now the other WC team could have to burn their best pitcher and then play the WC game. Dodgers need to win out regardless imo and hopefully the Rox lose just one god damned game again.

 

Rox are losing today. No way Jon Gray doesn't fuck up.

 

I'd hate him even more, because he'd definitely go full Jason Schmidt

 

oh so you're one of those guys lol
takes me back to the 80s when i get around you
so many great fragrances out there and women know them all
and if they don't it starts the conversation
in fairness i get gifted the stuff typically or just stop by the counter and chat up the fume ladies
remember when obsession came out i was one of the first in my area wearing it
THAT was a cologne all women liked and word got out quick
guys started coming to the club after taking a bath in it

 

I love it when SportsNet LA puts up the lineup graphic without the batting averages on the right. That way I don't have to squint or turn my head away

 

my buddy in chitown is freaking out lol
we could have two game 163s
