Official 2018 Los Angeles Dodgers Thread : Game 4

[Los Angeles]

As weird as it sound as long as SVS and Uribe "papi" bat is out there i'm good.

the thought

 

[ooiron manoo]

The problem with Kemp isn't his defense though, so you want him out in CF (Pending elbow soreness). Having SVS, Ethier and Crawford out there gives us a terrible defensive OF,

Ryu was solid last night, fast game, worked it. I'll hold off on accolades like calling him an All Star. Is he an All Star if the game was next week definitely, but the month of June is long, so let's just hope he keeps fooling MLB hitters with what he has.

I don't see Pederson as trade bait simply because he won't bring a huge return, he is seen as a fringe MLB player by most other clubs, so the Dodgers should keep dangling Ethier + cash and give Pederson first crack at RF while Puig gets more much needed seasoning. I would prefer Puig to stay down in the system until September.

I worry that the HR Cruz hit last night will keep him on the roster past the AS break, .

Attack them early in this game. We have Cap on the mound today, and I believe we have Lilly on the mound for tomorrow? If I'm wrong someone can correct me on that. But I expect to split the series in Anaheim. I don't really have much faith in Cap and Lilly so I hope our bats hit the Angels early to get some runs up on the board.

 

[Los Angeles]

But he had numbness in his fingers making it difficult for him to throw, so yeah that would mean his defense would be a problem.

 

[vindeezy]

Couldnt really ask for more out of cap...I knew puttinf pujols on wouls result in a negative outcome. Hopefully, we can get to jepsen and co...:/

 

[vindeezy]

Iron man...I agree..hed be a a throwin(joc)...but to be honest id rather see puig instead cuz of the upside..screw bat flips...id start him 7 days of the week.

 

[lpheat22]

Kemp out now, everyone left thier bats at Dodger Stadium

 

[vindeezy]

Just shut him down, man...he looks like a shell of himself. Its so sad to watch. Pitch recognition..confidence SHOT...ZERO POWER....I dunno what to say. The 40-40 days are so long sgo so it feels... sigh...whats yasiel doing..??

 

[in yo nostril]

Any of you bros going to the game tomorrow night?

 

[lpheat22]

Ya shut him down, 15 days then take it from there, he just looks so bad up there, body language, his face, mentally he's not there

 

[GreenNGold89]

Any chance Puig gets called up if Kemp hits the DL?

 

[vindeezy]

Naw..not attending..soccer moms and bros would aggravate me anyways..

Anyhow....kemp had mild hamstring...just DL him..poor guy looks defeated. I bet we get tony gwynm jr hah..fml.

Anyonr have any hanley rancho updates? ???????

 

[vindeezy]

Pederson is a true CF...puig is not...thats the problem...baaaahhhhhh..I bet he can though.dude is a raw kemp circa 06

 

[lpheat22]

Hanley starts tomorrow for Rancho I believe but in Bakersfield

 

[vindeezy]

We need him back even more so now...sigh. if it ain't one thing, its the other. I assume thurs , fri, sat in bakersfield..then sun or mon activation for hanram. In coors, well need all the offense u can get.i bet matt gets an MRI and reveals hammy strain with 2-4 weeks minimum recovery and skip starts in center tomorrow.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

This injury could be a blessing in disguise. I know that's hard to say but we're seeing it. Kemp is not hitting, he looks lost in the box and he's chasing bad pitches. The power isn't there and he isn't producing much. Like a lot of you said. Shut him down, put him on the DL, let him recover, strengthen, get his head back in the game and come back. At least we have Hanley coming back soon.

 

[Los Angeles]

Man Cap seems to pitch behind in every start.

We had a chance with the bases loaded with CC up to bat but he didnt come through.

Kemp to DL and Joc up or Gwynn? Lets see the results.

 

[ooiron manoo]

I would bring Pederson up, see what he can do. Already know what you got in Gwynn, and the roster has been littered with his type of player all year.

 

[laker4lifeman]

Are they putting money into the scouting department?

 

[Los Angeles]

Hernandez DHing?

 

[vindeezy]

I guess donnie wants to get canned. ..nice lineup...

 

[Los Angeles]

of course he'd hit a homer

 

[vindeezy]

R.hernandez hitting cleanup today, hah....still no sign of Joc...Puig...Gwynn...Hererra...anyone..I guess Neds still mulling the decision and potential public backlash.

 

[Los Angeles]

No dambs given by donnie

 

[laker4lifeman]

I would rather have Kershaw throw 200 pitches than this :x
