    Did I say that? Cut him a percentage if it makes you feel better. What I said is what I said. Dodgers convinced his stubborn ass that he had no future at catcher and put him on the mound.

    Anything they ask him to do, he should be on that shit if it makes sense and it makes the team better. We've had enough disappointment and enough excuses.

    Just dont buy it. Andrew Miller, Josh Hader, the Yankees pen, and so many others do not require an outdated role to be the best.
    Is Kenley's competitiveness the reason he choked 4 times in the WS?
    The Braves lost to us in the NLDS because Kimbrel was a "closer" left in the bullpen when Uribe went deep.
    This is selfishness and a misunderstanding of the modern game. Nothing more.

    Kenley's selfishness and ignorance almost cost him his career when he threatened to quit for being converted to a pitcher. He has never known what is best for himself. He is a mental midget. And fat. Rkacist

    It's 2019, as a reliever you don't need to be a closer to get paid.

    Also, it's 2019, why do we still have closers?

    fucken egomaniacal bkitches
    not saying i agree w/kimbrel...
    but he'd be a hired gun playing for his next gig, so i kind of get where he's coming from

    but toomgis already has his fat (pun) contract
    his #1 goal should be getting a ring
    but his selfishness is absurd and at the forefront
    and not just the role(s)...
    that whole "i don't care what scouts, mgmt, roberts, barnes or martin say, i'm throwing what i want to throw!" mentality
    fucken pkunk

    exactly
    everytime someone mentions the catcher thing i think it devalues their argument back to zero and it ends up being simply that they dont like the guy as a person... the strained baseball arguments being secondary.

    Sure...you're right about their egos and what it produces.
    But on the same team? Recipe for disaster, possibly.
    Then again, Billy Martin's Yanks fussed and fought all the time. And they were pretty damn good. Yup.
    But Robots is no Martin. Idk if the ass patting technique works with that.

    should is great....
    but in reality pro sports players are not employees like you or i.
    they are more or less self employed businesses onto themselves
    they are independent contractors in entertainment guilds like actors and singers but not in labor unions like the production stagehand or the floor sweat wiper.
    go ahead and romance the stone though... im guilty of my share of that too

    Imo if they're getting paid they should sweep the club house if asked.

    "It was just one of those things where we wanted to get Freezer as many A.B.s as possible against the lefty. Joc could slide in there in the later innings if need be. Chrissy is coming around. With Belli behind him, we like where we are at with getting Chrissy pitches to hit"

    A reasonable lineup with those players...

    Hernandez LF (Sub Joc RHP)
    Muncy 3B
    Seager SS
    Bellinger RF
    Freese 1B
    Verdugo CF
    Taylor 2B
    Smith C

    They must know this rookie left-hander isn't destined to stay in the game long and are trying to forecast where the bench players will slide in. In any scenario, though, Taylor has no business batting third. I dont care if he sees a lot of fastballs ahead of Cody. Seager could have benefited from that more.

    "i put chris 3rd to protect maxie. hitting in front of chris you're going to get pitches to hit. that's just common sense."

    I'm no expert on lineup construction, but I feel like the Dodgers just do troll lineups for the fun of it
