This team has descended to the level where a kid has to go out and throw a shutout for it to come away with a victory...barely. Kudos to the Cat kid, he looks like he's found it for real...I used to cringe and fortift myself (fentanyl) to watch him pitch...now I can't wait until he does. He's found it big time, and the lineup has lost it. Big time. Nary a fucking clue. The recent Dodger teams ? Must be below tne iridium layer, waiting to be discovered by paleontologists of the future. Maybe it will classified as " the woke layer". The sixth extinction.
Otani hit a pretty good pitch. But Walsh just missed a slam on a belt high fastball. Kimbrel had a horseshoe up his ass on that one. I respect Kimbrel, but I don't trust Kimbrel (see Roth, Hyman). Re. last night's delay......I harken back to Mike Marshall in the '74 Series. Marshall refused to throw any warmups during a 9th inning delay. First hitter after the delay, Joe Rudi, hit a walkoff.
Time to put a little more air in Cat Man's training wheels. He hadn't lost a thing when he was pulled in the 7th. Could have easily finished that inning.
He agrees MMoreno1015 Tony Gonsolin said he “absolutely” didn’t want to come out in the 7th inning tonight. “I definitely wanted to stay out there. Doc had to say, ‘Give me the ball.’
Thankfully I am not the GM. I wanted Rendon as much as anyone when he was a FA and he’s been a disaster with the Angels. Looks like he stopped giving a shit after winning a WS and getting paid
Most other managers let their starters go 100+ when they're pitching well. Davey treats his with kids gloves, as if they're going to get hurt after 70 or 80 pitches. Guess what... even on the Roberts safety plan, THEY"RE STILL GETTING INJURED! So in games when they're dealing, he should give them an extra inning and maybe not burn out his pen like he's been known to do.
