GAME THREAD DODGERS/MARINERS

have to say something positive about kirsten
that haircut definitely raised her a point or two

 

That was wasn't unselfish. It was self defense. Two RBI worth, though.

 

I didn't think she was a good fit at first, but she actually got a lot more comfortable with herself and really has grown into the role. She went from not good to pretty good.

 

There is no magic number thread so here is the final one to piss everyone off

 

Casey Blake says fuck off.

 

Not sure what to think of Kershaw's outing. Started out terribly, but finished pretty well. Jury is still out. Hope he builds on the last two innings.

Thought game was over when Sheehan came in. Wrong. He was lights out.

Nice to see Muncy get his 100th and impressive revenge AB for Wong. Peralta's time as an everyday player is over for this year. Any combination of Taylor or Kike would be preferable.

Running out of superlatives for Heyward. Safe to say he's exceeded expectations. Never realized what a force he is in the clubhouse.

Hope Mariachi Joe didn't burn his hands fielding that scorching ground ball. Every outing is a thrill a minute with Joe.

 

left out CT's nice little reminder to the mariners why they fucked up too!
Peraltas slowed down w the bat and almost miss played a ball but don't think he's going anywhere
although i don't disagree w the platoon you suggest am i missing something?

 

No matter what happens ultimately, I feel compelled to mention Jason Heywood.
The guy played the game like I never saw him do previously, and he did it for us, and he did it all year long.
Never thought I'd say this ,( maybe under Gestapo questioning, I probably would), but I'm glad he is a Dodger.
I just thought for years he was a waste of a uniform. How absolutely wrong I was.
Sheehan was as good as it gets. Kid is damn talented.
Always the cockeyed pessimist however, Phillips, with another BS, becoming increasingly concerning.
Make it go away.

 

Yes, she has raised it a point or two. Is that what the kids call it now?

 

always a great defender his bat immediately disappeared w the big contract
obviously a proud dude and whatever they saw w his approach at the plate clearly paid dividends
kudos to him for being willing to listen and enact the changes
and can't underestimate the veteran presence in the dugout/locker room...slightly homo

 

I wouldn't count allowing the ghost runner to score as a blown save. Just a seeing eye single anyway.

Agree on Heyward. Always a darling of the nerd crowd with not a lot to show for it.

 

That he and Miggy were the first players to speak during last night's celebration says a lot.

 

that celebration was really genuine and heartfelt
sort of expected a mass circle jerk to break out

 

Aka the white flag/hangover lineup. They probably put up 10 runs.

 

You could tell Miggy and Heyward really appreciated the moment.

 

What ever Stone may have had, it has seemed to have disappeared

 

But it didn't.

 

must suck to be a mariner fan after that series
team barely looked like they cared

 

Despite the sweep they're still only a game out of the final WC spot.
