GAME THREAD DODGERS/PHILLIES

Yeah I like him as a utility guy for a few years if need be, especially when he has options

 

One day somebody is going to literally die, and I wonder what the consequences would be, legally.

 

Now, gents...



Jansen can still eff this up ...

 

Obviously I'm excited that we might win this game, but what the hell has happened to Seager? Injuries and time off are certain to mess with your rhythm, but he looks like a completely different player on both sides of the ball. Clueless, even. Weak swings.

 

This Dodger team is pretty fucking good.

 

So, tomorrow. ... what Philthy hitter gets drilled by a fastball? Maeda isn't Buehler, but a 92 mph heater to the lower back still has purpose, no?

 

Don't f*ck this up Kenley.

 

Two hard hit balls in a row. Why do Dodger broadcasters fool themselves into thinking Kenley is a dominant reliever? Cherry picking dates and stats. He isn't even a top 25 reliever imo. I used no stats or info to draw that conclusion tho

 

Aside from the great things he's done, sporadically this year incidentally, Jansen has the worst mechanics I've ever seen.
Ever.
To me, it looks different every single pitch.

 

Orel has been saying kenley is "starting to figure it out" for like 15 months now.

There is nothing to figure out. Baseball players are human and at some point they decline. Kenly has declined and this is the new normal. If we refuse to accept it, then we are going to fool ourselves out of winning the World Series. The dude has no business being in the highest leverage situations of the game. I would barely trust him with a four-run lead in a playoff game

 

a fucking pop up fuck

 

Jansen is not the man for this team any more.
He's a killer.

 

I'm watching this with my one-year-old son. With first and third and one out, and Jansen looking like he's about to shit his pants, I explain to my son that his one-year-old set of testicles is actually of greater substance than the man pitching for millions of dollars right now on television.

The kid started laughing right away. He gets it. Too bad Roberts doesn't...

 

Disgusting defense.
Muncy needs to turn his back to the play and sprint to the spot.
Catch has to be made

 

what a bunch of shit that was

 

No matter how good the offense and starting pitching is for this team, you're just not going to win when Kenley Jansen is your supposed best reliever.
