I keep thinking of Christopher Walken when they announce this fellow.

There's a prescription for that...

Them 2 Dodgers 2

[Doctor Gast]

AZ stole 2B smart base running, why don't we do more of that?

[Aggies7]

Thielbar loads the bases. Losing 2/3 to the dbacks is not ideal 

[Mill1634]

How is another RP not coming in? Thielbar clearly doesn't have it today.

[Aggies7]

Ballgame. Great overmanaging by rocco

[Mill1634]

Happy Fathers day. Enoy your afternoon, dads.

 

See ya Tuesday in a huge series (for June anyway), and go Dodgers.

[Doctor Gast]

OMG! What a disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

At least we don't have to worry about baserunners any more...

[wsnydes]

Well, that sucks

Yup. Never fails. 

[karcherd]

Great move taking out Archer, he was getting batters out and he is taken out.  Quit overmanaging this team Rocco, this is getting old.

Quick rundown on my predictions for the last part of June and how we're fairing

3 @ SEA 27-32 predict 2-1, actual 2-1

3 @ ARI 28-33 predict 2-1, actual 1-2

3 v CLE 29-27 predict 2-1

3 v COL 26-34 predict 2-1

5 @ CLE 29-27 predict 2-3

On pace to go 8-9/9-8. Arizona gave us a good chance to make some headway before Cleveland comes to town and them playing LA, but we weren't able to do that. The good news is that we can now take care of it head to head, but it may not end up being good in the end. 

I think 11-6 should be the goal, with 10-7 being good, and 9-8 being okay, and a losing record being "unacceptable."

Already tired of hearing about what Cleveland is doing.

Succeeds in making the wrong decision re: the bullpen.

[rwilfong86]

I'm watching Ken Burns baseball on Blu Ray, excellent series. 

[Doctor Gast]

Duffy in. Baldelli is waving the white flag. Yesterday was a perfect day to test Duffy not today.

The modern baseball game is intrinsically inferior to the game of 30-60 yeas ago because there are so many instances when some one hour+ meeting that predetermined who played where when and how and who could pitch is decided without paying attention to how the actual physical game plays out. I used my own math for who was hitting what pitchers and where fielders should play as a coach three decades ago and it was both fun and successful. However, one should never lose sight of what is actually transpiring on the field and become a slave to some model that never works. 

Pinball was essentially a math game and had some limited allure. Its entrance into baseball is regrettable.

Well it was absolutely pointless to pull him out of the game after 4 innings. The bullpen needed work? Lol why because they weren’t abused for a couple days for once? Nonsensical overmanaging which led to the game getting out of hand. The offense did nothing which is the real culprit, but it was totally unnecessary to pull the starter out after a whopping 4 innings. Asking 4-5 guys to be on their game is a recipe for disaster. Sometimes it works, a lot of times it doesn’t

Depends on what your definition of "off" is.

I didn't know the like feature had been implemented for entire days...

[Mill1634]

The Dodgers take a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 7th as Trae Turner legs out an infield single and an error on the jump throw scoring a runner from 2nd base.
