It's pathetic watching him flail away. He's had some great moments with the Dodgers. Makes you wonder if he'll ever get back on track again. Luckily he doesn't take his hitting problems affect his defense.
Max the Giant killer strikes again. That it irritates Giant fans to no end makes it all the sweeter. Julio is the rock of the staff, but I wish he could be a little more efficient with his pitches. Pushing 100 pitches to finish 6. With the pen struggling early it would be nice to get another inning out of him. As good as Vesia has been for the past two years, he's been that bad this year. They're saying he's battling mechanical issues, so hopefully he'll straighten those out.
We say " he looks as lost as Joe does" now. Y'know how the language changes with the rise and fall of the stupidity in charge...?
At least we stopped that embarrassing ass whupping from the Dbacks. I found that excruciating to watch, and the AZ ability to just wipe out any lead we got, and their timely hitting and base running, at will, was alarming. One of the worst series I've seen in years, on multiple levels. Very disheartening.
I agree. This particular AZ team can do that, no doubt. As Davis said, they are the poster boys for the new bb rules. Perfectly suited for them. But our pitching, aside from the blazing speed which they have no solutions for, absolutely sucked with ther command. Those pitches, even to a team of Mike Scioscia class speed players, would still have given up a shitload of runs. Not quite as many perhaps, but losers no doubt. Centering the ball in the K zone, with no movement, batter after batter, pitch after pitch, is...uh...undesirable ?
If only the Dodgers could play 162 against the Gnats, Muncy would obliterate single season hitting records.
Only to those that feel scoring more runs than the team you're playing is important. The winning thing and all.
Let me get this straight... Muncy can go 0/4 night after night with multiple Ks and get inserted in the lineup the next day but he goes 3-3 with 2 HRs, 7 RBI and gets benched? Dave Roberts is something fucking else...
