    I love the lineup. Well, Ethier vs. a lefty kinda sucks but I like that top 4 so much

    Lets win!

    2.12 ERA and 8 shutouts over 34 games. Absolutely absurd numbers!

    Seriously. That was the shortest game I've ever been to. And I've been to a lot of ball games.

    No Crawford? He seemed so fired up to beat his old team. Not sure I understand this one.

    I wanted to everyone's thoughts on these four game series...

    To much or too little? Better to go with 3, 5, or 6?

    Makes perfect sense to sit at least one of Either and Crawford (ideally both, but they don't have another RHH who can play OF on the roster right now) against Lester.

    There was a Ryu two-hitter that I went to that was super short. Not sure if there's a way to look up length of games, but that Ryu start has to be up there with yesterday.

    ESPN box scores include game time, the game you are referring to was 2:11, so it was close.

    Crawford LF, Puig CF, Skip RF. I'd rather see that than today's lineup. Also you're taking Crawford out of a game he seems to really want to play in so Ethier can play against a lefty? Something just doesn't seem right there.

    Yea, load the lineup with lefties against a lefty, that makes sense.

    I think he meant Crawford over Ethier. He was choosing his lefty. I have no idea. Both seem struggle--Ethier has confounded me all season.

    Ah my bad, I forgot skip was a lefty. Ok I see why it was done the way it was. Still seems unfortunate that Crawford is left out here.

    Edit: Actually I am not an Ethier hater. I am grateful for him this season more than any other. I just want to see Crawford get the chance to beat up on his old team. I feel like there's a bigger chip on his shoulder than any of the other guys from the trade.

    Crawford is fragile as hell, he needs to rest every once in awhile and although it'd be great to sit Ethier vs. lefties that'll probably happen another time

    I saw Crawford on mlb network saying that he wants to win every game against Boston this series. He should be ready to go if needed in a PH situation.

    So rest him next week against the Cubs. This is a series that's not going to happen again for a few years and Crawford has openly said there's a little more incentive to beating the Sox. Unfortunately, which Dodgers99 brought to my attention, our current roster doesn't give us the option to sit Ethier for Crawford so it's irrelevant.

    Lets see how many times they talk shit about Puig and how much they say the clubhouse of the Red Sox has improved because of the evils of Crawford and AGon

    Lets fuck these guys up
