    Fail to score against the shitty starter and then score 2 off nasty Betances. Baseball is dumb as hell

    A great series win. Wasn't pretty but at the end of the day, we won 2 and the best part was Kershaw looked fantastic

    Don't like to use the term choke, but that throw by Betances would qualify as one.

    Imagine how much more nervous we would have been with Castro at 2nd up 1-0 instead of 2-0

    Why do players still slide head first? They can injure their hands, fingers, next, head....just not worth it.

    Because it's more efficient. If that makes sense

    Was thinking the same thing.

    So glad they got the second run.

    It does make sense, especially on steals.

    In many cases however, it isn't necessary.

    Before closing I just wanted to point out Ethier was 0-4 and left 5 baserunners



    maybe he'll come around
    but early results are not promising

    random but, did anyone see this article about Brock Stewart/Carlos Ruiz?: http://www.espn.com/blog/los-angele...t-time-is-it-ask-dodgers-rookie-brock-stewart

    Short story, kinda neat. Ruiz was given Brock's #51 when he came over and Brock was in the minors so didn't really have a say. When Ruiz found out he had actually taken his number, bought him a watch. Pretty common, still thought it was a neat story to share

    really don't want to watch this play out over the next few weeks
    i mean if he must stay on the team no more starts unless we are running away w it
    even then taking away ab's for toles and reddick doesn't make sense
    leave him for the random ph and maybe he gets lucky

    that was a gagging fall on your face death choke
    what was that like a 20 foot toss w a runner 10 feet from the plate?

    I lost power for many hours, so couldn't see it all. Strangely, there was enough power getting through for one dim light, and radio, so I heard it.
    When that play at home happened, Sterling said, it could have been tossed underhand and they would have had him by 10 feet. He went off on the Yankees and said they didn't deserve to win because errors let the Dodgers score. Went on and on about it...
    I can see an announcer not being a homer, but excoriating the team you work for is way weird.
    But it still lingers on my mind...wtf was Turner doing running from third on a tap back to the pitcher?
    And MVP Corey ( in my world) gets the whole thing rolling...yeah boyos.

    Rather have an announcer tell it like it is as opposed to an excuse making homer and yes, I know what a homer Sterling is.

    Turner might have been told to go on contact. Either that or he went seriously brain dead.

    He threw the ball like Moe tossing a cream pie at Larry.

    Did take a blow in la cabeza sliding in on the double. Maybe residual goofiness?
