    Bad time for Ohtani to have nothing on the mound.
  2. h2oface
    Botched hit and run by one of them? WTF was that base running gaff by Springer?
  3. h2oface
    Well, I am sure Varland is happier. Best thing that could have happened to him.
  4. h2oface
    That was strike 3 missed on Guerrero. Affects every game. Now given a walk. Sasaki is the human element, too, right?

    Kiké took the right pitch. It was a ball, not strike 3. Fox is being so wimpy trying to protect the plate umpire with the hardly visible K zone. Even on the replay series of Gausman’s strikeouts, it was the only pitch they showed that they didn’t superimpose the solid outline.

    Double down on Derek’s. Well, he knows the 90s.

    It won’t matter to anyone reading this article now, as they will ALL be dead before it happens.

    You are not counting the luxury tax being paid that is just under $144. So about $500 million, not 350. CBT total estimated to be $393. The Dodgers pay more luxury tax than the Twins total Team salary.

    FREDDIE! FREDDIE! FREDDIE!

    And a pitcher that is ready to catch a ball after delivery! Epic.
  11. h2oface
    Gorgeous BUNT!
  12. h2oface
    And Edmans doesn’t stand there watching it. Yes!
  13. h2oface
    Wow. And they escape even with Kershaw’s perfectly placed slider that didn’t break called a ball.This is baseball!

    They do have the starter moved to the pen for the postseason, Sasaki. I doubt Roberts will go to him until late. Check out the Sept 6 game against the Orioles when Yamamoto took a no hitter into the 9th. Yes, all year the pen has let them down so often. Like game 1 in WS.
  15. h2oface
    But the Dodgers pen is their Achilles heal this year. A real weakness.

    Wish Barger was our Right Fielder!

    And another case of just stopping, and not forcing a rundown. Never ceases to amaze me. Chances are very low to be successful, but it can happen. It never happens if you just quit. And another example of how a bad call severely affects the game. Toronto should have 1 run.
  18. h2oface
    What strike? Ha. Dodgers get yet another gift from the plate umpire. (No double play, just a pick off. One out.) But the umpire did call a strike right away. We all heard it. But they misinterpreted his delayed arm motion as take first base. Should have been ball 4 anyway if there was any justice.
  19. h2oface
    The game will be the biggest beneficiary when this wimpy challenge system is soon replaced by every pitch being unbiasedly called by ABS, and catchers attend to their real job instead of this ridiculous pitch framing jerking the glove BS.
  20. h2oface
    Sure. And get NIck Punto out of retirement, too.
  21. h2oface
    I saw so many hits go through because of where they positioned themselves, even with Correa. Over shifting. The hits were going where a fielder perhaps should have been, and were outsmarting themselves with the excessive shift.
  22. h2oface
    And the boring brand of baseball for the first 5 months wasn’t a draw.

    "Even former Twin Jeff Hoffman closed out Game 7 in dominant fashion, to add salt to the wound. " Does his brief "try-out" in spring training of 2023, when he exercised his opt-out when he didn't make the roster count? I mean, it was a minor league contract, even. Former Twin? Not even really a former Saint. Lots of things added salt to the wounds of the last two years, but Hoffman isn't one of them for me. Varland, yes . Hoffman pitched all of 5 innings allowing 2 runs on 2 hits with 3 walks and 8 Ks, and the FO went with the always cheerful Jorge Lopez and Emilio Pagan, and we probably all remember how well that turned out. Prizes from proud trades. Had to keep them. Coulombe, Megill, Stewart, Varland and Winder all didn't make the roster on opening day, either.

    Falvey is looking for another yes man that will do the job for cheap and just be thankful for the opportunity. I am not impressed with his direction. But I don't matter, and I admit to being a cynic when it comes to Falvey. Maybe this guy will be great, and maybe he learned how to smack trash cans from the ring leader, Cora? Falvey seems to like that talent. 😇
