GAME THREAD DODGERS/PHILLIES

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.

 

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.

 

And a guy who should not be playing CF on a team when there are four who play it better.

 

i predict Kenley is going to the IL instantly watching him on the last pitch

 

This team is sorry

 

I sincerely hope Kenley Jansen tore his UCL and will be out for the rest of his career. That way the organization will be forced to move on from his overrated fat ass

 

This FO better wake up quick. These are the games that have been killing us in the post season. Why is it so hard to understand our needs?

 

If this doesn't precipitate a move or moves of huge proportions by the FO, then once again we'll wear the fucking bridesmaids dresses as always...and we'll, or they, will flat out deserve it again.

 

This stubbornness will lead us to another October failure.

Polly has to play center field because they signed him to play center field, and Kenley has to be the "closer" because he says so.

It's not about what's best for the team.

In 2017, it was totally the players' fault. This year, it's ownership's fault. Because they have advance notice of Kershaw and Kenley's declines. But will do nothing about it.

And it is a shame, because the rest of the team is historically good

 

Well...here come the Giants !!

 

Pollock can go fuck himself. Motherfucker should've laid out for Harper's hit and he would've caught it and there is absolutely no reason for that pop up not to be caught. He cost us the game.
