Overusing the bullpen has not been the problem at all this year.

it was last year, but I agree that the offense has been the issue this year.

Great throw! He has the same quick release as his brother Jose, but the arm is

@ how terrible the trade is looking for the dodgers

 

[THASTUNNA]

People overate defensive plays that are just unusual but not great. Like Manny Machado, theres nothing great about that play its just heads up.

Reminds me of when Wright caught the ball bare handed and everyone went nuts, its a simple play just unusual.

Unusual does not = great

Cycle is another one, unusual but hardly great.

Beckett has been good for LA. AGon hasn't, but it's only 80 ABs and he was replacing James Loney's bum ass

The team has pretty much tanked since the deal, but it's pretty dumb to say it was a poor deal at this point.

 

[yseJ]

you're right. it was a poor deal right from the get-go

If you have a HR, triple, double and single in ONE GAME....that's a pretty great game, no? It gets a little extra notoriety because it's interesting/unique...but it's still a great game.

I sort of agree on Wright's play, but you're crazy if you don't think Machado's play was He turned a play with 0% at an out into an out. Pretty good if you ask me

Perfect, just in time for our playoff push.

That one-game wildcard playoff is gonna be intense, I wish he had been healthier sooner, he thrives in games like that.
