Glad I missed the game

Glad I missed the game

I left after that inning. It was so disheartening 

 

[DsLee]

Hate seeing the boys lose, but losing to a team with Ryan Braun sucks even more...

 

[klasssickfresh 87]

Frustrating

 

[vindeezy]

Had a feeling about a letdown series...

Kevin correia, huh....now neds just throwing dung against a wall. I know, I know...depth move...gotta fill maholms spot, etc.

And DAMBIT, HanRam......thats 3-6 weeks of triunfel/rojas with a lil turner.

At least kemp and gonzo r hitting for power these days.

[Los Angeles]

I mean it could be worse, he could be dealing the kids lol

 

[vindeezy]

I dont wanna pile on the catching situation, but as it stands...its the worst as far as offensive production in the majors. AJ/Butera/Fedex combined to hit a putrid .188(or so, as mentioned by rick monday during the radio broadcast) with a combined 3 HRs. None by AJ. Now, I love AJ..great guy, great back story....but im not sure this kind of offensive ineptitude can carry us far into oct. And with rojas or triunfel inserted daily, thats a putrid bottom third of the order....if 1-6 arent producing consistently...the runs will be scarce. Russell martin would be a significant upgrade...and...I really wanna see donnie re insert Dre into the lineup as the everyday LFer. For what its worth.

 

[vindeezy]

Of course..of course AJ hits one out...!

 

[laker4lifeman]

I remember being on twitter and reading people say that Kershaw was done when he faced AZ

 

[vindeezy]

^^if they mean sealing his 3rd Cy Young campaign in 4 yrs....yeah..hes done. Speaking of done....how bout the 2014 arizona dbags...I think their season's done. A 26 yr old pitcher with 3 plus-pitches and a developing change up.....is "done". Ppl are idiots. Ppl on twitter are idiots. Ppl on the internet are idiots.

 

[DsLee]

Dudes must've peeped Kershaw's batting average, OPS, etc. and thought he was a position player off the bench every 5 days to be saying he's "done".

 

[eracism]

Rojas bout to get his Luis Cruz on. Dude was hitting .300 in the PCL and is feeling himself.

 

 

[cincoseisdos]

Thanks Correia

 

[Benny Hinn]

Beckett who?

 

[vindeezy]

Well, I guess I got everything all wrong. Aj Ellis/Honeycutt must be unlocking something with these castoffs. Lmao. Aye, if its an extra day off for the top 3 arms...ill take it. Fausto Carmona and Kevin freakin' Correia with quality starts on the road against quality lineups. Go figure....funny game, this baseball.

 

[moe fab]

Everything seems like it's starting to come together now. Kemp's starting to regain his 11' form quickly, starters are putting in QS after QS, n Donnie is staying out of the way. I just don't want them to start peaking too soon like last year...even tho Kelly n Molina had a big part in our offense falling off in the NLCS.

Go Dodgers Go!

 

[vindeezy]

Lets not also sleep on gonzo hitting...the butter n egg man. The threat of devaris strange and gonzo..the 2 consistent threats ALL season long. Oh yeah....and ker$hGawd. Never to be forsaken.

 

[laker4lifeman]

A-gone was worrying me 2 months ago. Great to see him back.

 

[vindeezy]

Me too...I wish donnie would start SVS once in awhile at 1st to keep gonzo fresh. Soft OF platoon while rotating svs at 1st. Kinda curious to see what barney can do now..lmao

 

[threeoneoh]

Platoon svs at first against lefties.
Gonzalez hitting like .180 smh

 

[Benny Hinn]

We cant be platooning a 21 million dollar player. We're already paying one 15 million to sit on the bench

 

[Los Angeles]

Im ready for joc to be called up

 

[threeoneoh]

But .180 tho? Forget the money, I want to win lol

 

[vindeezy]

Well, my concern is gonzo being like 32/33...just give him a day off once in awhile to keep him fresh and give van stache more Abs in the process..esp vs lefties...rotating between LF and 1B and occasionally spelling puig/kemp. It's a grueling/taxing season.
