had high hopes when he first came up but like so many others his weaknesses were quickly exposed at the plate still has potential but there's nowhere on this team for him lot of upside being able to play consistently good luck zack attack
You know how everyone talks about the uncanny abilities of LA to find gems each season ? Well, they found an anti-gem lump of coal in Reed. Guy's weak, man. Also, if the Dodgers go 31-31 for the rest of remaing games, the Padres have to go 43-19 to tie us. Is that right? With Tatis and Soto. Hmmmm....
That guy Bard is the calibre closer we should have on the Dodgers. It makes no sense to have put together a team with SPs and a lineup like this, and have a huge question mark protecting it at the end. Zero sense.
Relievers are fickle. Kimbrel and Chapman both this year. 2 of the best closers of this generation have been complete and utter ass this season. Not like it was for lack of trying
Not sure I'd call those two fickle. I think they're both at the end of great careers. You're right about many closers, though. A lot of one and two year wonders as closers.
i know its a totally different mentality starting vs. closing but a lot of guys have made that transition w guys like Eck and Smoltz coming to mind probably not a popular opinion but why is it so taboo to think of a guy like CK in that role? if the argument is he's more valuable as a starter then what is the value of a great closer? just seems to me he's at that point or close to it where he could possibly extend his career and be spectacular in the role and i seriously doubt anyone in this organization has ever discussed it in front of him why do people think it would offend him or be a demotion? obviously a position of great need and unique character for the team
CK in the pen immediately gives me nightmares of game 5 vs the Nats in 2019. That team at least makes the WS if dumbass Dave uses Maeda to start the 8th…
Last game I attended. How Dave wasn't fired after that series is beyond me. Then he gets the fake Covid WS, guaranteeing his job for years to come.
