100% cost themselves a run. For what? That was beyond idiotic...fireableI love Dave Roberts. But this strategy is idiotic.
Three players who played in that game are on tonight's NLCS playoff rostersBatting Ruiz-Kendrick 4-5 is the worst thing I have seen since Lavarnway batting 5th in Game 162.
Hernandez is 2-for-4 in his career in stolen basesI'm not even all that bothered by the lineup. But having Hernandez get huuuuuge leads but not running just makes no sense to me.
You mean Kike dancing around but not stealing? I agree. Lester is not even slide stepping; he's leg kicking instead, and high enough to give plenty of time to steal.100% cost themselves a run. For what? That was beyond idiotic...fireable
I realize it's spelled that way, but for the sake of this thread, can we just spell it "Kiki"?You mean Kike dancing around but not stealing? I agree. Lester is not even slide stepping; he's leg kicking instead, and high enough to give plenty of time to steal.
OK Yas.I realize it's spelled that way, but for the sake of this thread, can we just spell it "Kiki"?
This is the perfect opportunity for him to improve his percentage dramatically.Hernandez is 2-for-4 in his career in stolen bases
Not that you're wrong
Probably more than Tommy ever did for his sonValentine wiping food from Lasorda's mouth. Gross.
Does he think that Tommy is the hiring manager now?Valentine working LaSorda to get a job with the Dodgers?
I was only half paying attention and I thought I was mistaken when it looked like that was what happened, I guess not.Valentine wiping food from Lasorda's mouth. Gross.
Either that or they were talking lasagna recipes.Does he think that Tommy is the hiring manager now?
Fields was perfect last nightDave didn't like the way Lester hit a medium deep fly off Maeda his first time? Also, Mrs. Fields would have pitched better last night than Josh Fields.
Who would you have started instead?I don't know, if you don't have confidence having your starter pitch to the opposing starter (an ex-AL poor hitting pitcher, too) in the 4th with 2 outs, down only 1, should you really be starting him at all?
If it wasn't going to be Kershaw on short rest, Maeda with a short leash was the only move.Who would you have started instead?
