    Yeah, they can't fucking hit against this team for sure. Most times.
    But whether they do or don't, they went into that ninth as potential winners of a HUGE game, guttsy performance by Julio and W looming, and Jansen took it right away from him, the team, and the fans.
    Gonzalez sucks, we have been lucky so far with this monotonous throwing bum, and he's no great BP find.
    But all the negatives recalled, it falls squarely on Jansen's shoulders.
    Again.
    I've seen Willy drop a can o corn. I've seen Mariano lose a World Series. I've seen the Immaculate Reception.
    On and on...etc. etc.
    But Jansen is the fucking King.
    It's mitochondrial with him.
    The L chromosome.

    What really hurts to the core, deep in my bones anyway, is that they go into a game like this, a possible tie for first, and a chance to show some real grit. And Julio goes out there and shows it, without the hottest player Betts on the team on he field, Justin Turner with an injury from that sack of shit Wood ( even Muncy's swing looks stunted to me also), an all but useless Bellinger offensively, and Dave in the dugout.
    Sure we weren't a juggernaut, and Julio saw to it they weren't either, but with the little firepower we could muster, it was enough.to win. A good show by the team when most needed. A pitching performance that doesn't come along that often. Toughness.
    Except for the Kenley factor. Who has this unique ability to turn honest grit and effort into pure heartbreak and render it useless.
    For all the kudos and adulation this FO gets for finding hidden gems, MiL potential, benevolence above and beyond any other organizations, well deserved, they have had years to address the closer failings, and have done nothing but coddle and dote on this long fading individual.

    The Jansen thing will never go away with Dave as manager.

    @FabianArdaya
    Dave Roberts on the boos for Kenley Jansen: “This guy is a lifelong Dodger. The fans have a right to voice their frustrations, absolutely. But this guy was born and raised as a Dodger…no one hurts more than he does.” “Yeah, I’m disappointed to hear that, certainly."

    The guy has the record for most blown saves in WS history.

    Dodgers fans are sick and tired of having their heart ripped out by the same fucking guy in every big game. It's really that simple.

    @Dodgers
    The Dodgers added OF Billy McKinney to the active roster and optioned OF Zach Reks to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    McKinney has shown he can hit MLB pitching.....you could give Reks 100 ABs and he may never get a hit.

    Small upgrade

    yeah, fuck you roberts
    first kenley bitched when they wanted him to become a pitcher (because his dumb ass couldn’t hit)
    then he’s whined constantly since, whenever he feels he’s not getting what he deserves
    fuck him and his entitled ass
    want to play? want to close? want to make the all star team?… then fucken play better!
    fucken punk ass bkitch

    Good post.
    Well written. It is that simple.
    And no amount of Robert's gagging praise and expressions of meaningless traditions is going to change that.
    About time the LA fans voiced an honest baseballl opinion of disappointment instead of a stupid Wave or another beachball on the field.
    Enough is fucking enough.

    The guy was amazing and dominant for us over a 6 year stretch early in his career, no doubt.

    Since 2018 , he has NOT been good and it's really that simple. Whether you're looking at traditional stats (league average at best), advanced metrics or the eye test over that time. I'm not really sure why it's hard for Dave, or any others who defend him, to understand/see that.

    Pile of bullshit on the pre game ,trying to do post blown games damage control for Jansen...I get it, we'll hear the same from Orel and Joe...it's their jobs essentially.
    But it borders on ludicrous when you hear constantly how Kenley can't be overworked and will not pitch this night or that night, blah, blah. And velo goes south, etc.
    Then , the reason he sucks is because he's big and hasn't worked, and needs to constantly to be effective.
    Such horseshit. Make up your minds what spin you're going to try and shove down our throats.
    Too much or not enough...can't be both.
