GAME THREAD BRAVES/DODGERS

Don't know. I'm sure ass-eyes Dave Roberts is saying something in the post-game presser.

 

Not apologizing for my Roberts hatred.

@MMoreno1015
Max Scherzer says he came out tonight due to hamstring tightness. He felt it warming up for the first inning.

 

He just said it was a tight hamstring. Destroys a good "Roberts is an idiot" narrative.

Pretty damned good pitching on one leg against a good lineup.

 

Never thought I would dread Taylor ABs. He's in a deep funk.

 

First place Los Angeles Dodgers.

 

great to be in first but...
watching the highlights i see TWO Two strike pitches hit out against bazooka and vesia
i think one was an oh 2 and the other a one 2
i'm sorry but that shit has to be met w electrodes to the bawls to guarantee it doesn't happen again
it happens all the time w us like not being able to bunt or hold on runners
imagine how incredible this team would be if they actually cared about fundamentals

 

I second the motion

 

How about Dave tough...makes a classic bonehead move...and immediately, the team pays for it. Oh...and that guy Max. You'll hear how ot all worked out, but really, if you're Max, you gotta be looking at him with a jaundiced brown or blue eye. I just wonder of Max will be pitching for SD or SF next year behind that...and trying to save
Max's arm an inning less ( if that was the reason) and the multifaceted jeopardy behind it produced by doing it, was so bush league stupid, it's mind boggling.
it will be all forgotten by the team's superb comeback.
Little Lucky Davey.
i just hope Max's memory is just as short.

 

EDIT: Pretty unusual that Max said he had a dodgy hamstring.
I wouldn't expect him to announce that until he couldn't walk.
All this top shelf Dave pummeling down the drain...but you would think the team might mention that to Orel and Joe,so they could pass it on.
Watching Brusdar doing his best Jonathan Broxton imitation was excruciating for fans after watching Max be totally magnificent in the epic Battle of the Max.
Of course, disinformation is prevalent these days...they may have offered Max unspoken bonuses by fortifying the spin...
just kidding
