    sorry cody, there's no player of the first half award
    fkag
    • Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout, Milwaukee Brewers All-Star Christian Yelich and Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon were named finalists for Player of the Year in 2019 Players Choice Awards voting. Noticeably absent from that list is Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star Cody Bellinger. The award voted on by the players themselves.

    and the reason we can all forget about getting cole, strasburg, rendon, or anyone else...
    • The Dodgers broke a franchise record for Dodger Stadium attendance this season. In 81 games — 28 of which were sellouts — the club drew 3,974,309 fans (49,066 average) to the ballpark.

    Sad part is the fans will continue to show up, whether or not the team signs anyone. I despise Roberts and want him fired, but the problem lies a lot deeper.

    it absolutely does
    all walter cares about is lining his pockets
    kasten is a disingenuous ckunt that speaks out of both sides of his mouth
    and friedman is the perfect soldier, having cut his teeth with the budget conscious rays

    that said, roberts is 100% culpable for how the team has failed each of the past three seasons
    a mindless buffoon who has choked every time it's truly mattered
    he, by himself, has made inexplicable decisions that cost the team a world championship in 2017 and a third consecutive ws appearance this year
    nah man, fuck him

    ^^^ y'all speak feckin hard truth...

    Yes, the Bums will make bank on the great unwashed of LA. The same fucksticks who endure typhus infestations amongst the 50K homeless lining the streets, and pay rapacious fees to live in the shithole that LA has become.

    I won't contribute. I'm fucking done, man. Kasten can blow me daily until doomsday and I'll never give that SOB another dime. Fuck him eternally.

    One of the advantages of living in the Bay Area is not having to go to Dodger Stadium and give the Guggs any more money.

    I blame him in 18 as well
    no way Hill should have come out of that game and after the amazing 18 inning game we were feeling the momentum
    the sox didn't have some invincible team but davey came through for them seizing defeat from the jaws of victory

    It is all on Dave.
    BTW... firedave.com is available.
    I would consider forever ditching our domain name if switching to firedave actually got him fired within the year.

    Hendrick over Kershaw would probably have been better for this team too.
    Just bring back all the black/latin players who have huevos enough for playing well when it counts.
    Limatime!

    Disagree somewhat. Players are the reason we lost in 2017 (Jansen, Bellinger, Seager, etc). 20-8 the Red Sox were just way better, it was their year. Nothing Roberts could have or could not have done about it. 2019 Roberts fucked up

    roberts decisions...

    2017: started darvish and then left him out there too long
    2018: inexplicably started all righties and sat his top 4 hr hitters the first two games
    2019: kershaw

    these were all his decisions and they all cost the team chances at championships

    You're both right. In 2018 the Sox were way better, plain and simple. But sitting your top 4 HR hitters in the World Series is just stupid. Roberts manages one way in the regular season and then completely changes in the postseason. I hate him so much.

    Who cares who is better when it comes to winning.
    It's about who executes when it matters.
    And that is defined by management decisions.
    A coach makes a players season statistics improve by teaching him what he knows.
    A manager needs to know how to build boys into men and men into champions.
    Dave wants to be their denmother.

    if you think it was his decision to start Darvish than ok, but it wasn't (also that was the right decision at the time anyways). Darvish pitching wasn't why we only scored 1 run.
    2018, Red Sox were still way better, they still won the other 2 of the other 3 games and the only game they lost was an 18 inning 3-2 game. They outplayed us, by a lot. no matter any decision.
    And also, if you think it was his decision to sit the top 4 HR hitters in 2018, that wasn't his decision either.

    Roberts has the in game decisions, but he has a script for that too. But the decisions on who to start and batting order, you best believe Friedman and co had plenty of input on it
