This team has descended to the level where a kid has to go out and throw a shutout for it to come away with a victory...barely. Kudos to the Cat kid, he looks like he's found it for real...I used to cringe and fortift myself (fentanyl) to watch him pitch...now I can't wait until he does. He's found it big time, and the lineup has lost it. Big time. Nary a fucking clue. The recent Dodger teams ? Must be below tne iridium layer, waiting to be discovered by paleontologists of the future. Maybe it will classified as " the woke layer". The sixth extinction.
Otani hit a pretty good pitch. But Walsh just missed a slam on a belt high fastball. Kimbrel had a horseshoe up his ass on that one. I respect Kimbrel, but I don't trust Kimbrel (see Roth, Hyman). Re. last night's delay......I harken back to Mike Marshall in the '74 Series. Marshall refused to throw any warmups during a 9th inning delay. First hitter after the delay, Joe Rudi, hit a walkoff.
Time to put a little more air in Cat Man's training wheels. He hadn't lost a thing when he was pulled in the 7th. Could have easily finished that inning.
