Look at the bright side - I’m sure Harper will have some really neat colored cleats and batting gloves next year

Time to blow it up.

Buehler couldn't have pitched that inning? I get what you are saying but I'm tired of hearing how the pen is bad vs Robby being a f'ing idiot. Yes, Dave sucks, but the last 3 years we have seen over and over again he has no feel for who to put in. So yeah, he had other options than the kid there.

Dodgers know bueller extremely well. It’s a bad matchup to use him. Maybe he gets out of it but frankly if Turner makes a good throw that inning is different. I blame Turner and Kerkering for not doing their jobs. Thomson has his own issues like why this team continuously rolls over and dies and can’t learn to take pitches.

These guys couldn’t hold a candle to the 08 group

I don't care if they know him. I didn't care last game about rightly lefty. Put the best pitcher in and don't go to people you know will blow it. This is the playoffs. 2nd game in a row he got out managed.

Hard to say he got out managed. Phillies bats didn’t hit worth crap and Turner makes an awful throw which if it’s a decent throw might still be 0-0. Their bullpen besides Duran is unreliable. If he brings in bueller and bueller gets lit up then you are gonna say why didn’t he bring in such and such. The MUCH bigger issue is your bullpen is dog crap.

That was crazy close. I think he might have been safe by a millisecond but can’t really tell

I can tell you what I wouldn't have said. Why didn't he bring in Kerk?

Want to say don’t use Kerkering knowing this info then I’m fine with that. However Kerkering actually did his job that inning but Turner Fed up a throw home and really that throw changed this from 0-0 to 4-0

Lol who were you gonna ask to bring in? THEY ALL SUCK BESIDES Duran lol

Yeah. Literally the last guy other than Robinson I'd put in a game. Stop making excuses for Robby T regardless of how bad that pen is. He has no feel. That's based on history.

Not the guy who literally folds in bad situations. For starters I wouldn't have put Luzardo back out. That was the first dope move he made.

Has no feel, fine. However pretending this bullpen is remotely good enough vs. dodgers lineup and any other option gets out of a 0 out 2nd and 3rd jam is ridiculous.

I never said it was. But stop defending Robby T and his dope moves blaming the pen. He shouldn't have put him back out there to start the 7th and with two guys on you know what he was going to come in and do.

Why? Luzardo had retired 17 batters in a row and less than 75 pitches. That’s a ridiculous statement.

Why? luzardo had retired 17 batters in a row and was at 72 pitches. No manager is removing him from the game at that point. You’d have killed him if he took him out there and the bullpen imploded. That’s such BS response. Damn well know at 72 pitches giving up 1 hit and retiring 17 in a row no manager or you is taking him out.

Is it now? How did that inning turn out? He just watched Snell fade. He got 6 strong out of him. I wouldn't have done it and was in my house saying so.

Guess who was right? Me. When did he fade?

Lol. So you could’ve been wrong too if they removed him went buellere and bueller got rocked.

This would be like removing halladay from a 1 hitter after he retired 17 in a row against best lineup in baseball.

You didn’t say crap on here. Saying after the fact. So i call bs that you said it and now using it after the fact. I’ve seen you and many of us on here be upset at Thomson for removing Sanchez at 80 pitches ina s shutout. Which essentially what would’ve been the case here lol

Saying don’t use Kerkering i could understand. Saying the luzardo thing is BS when he had shown no symptoms of fatigue and had been Fing cruising since the first.

lol two more stellar ABs by our big sticks

Tell you what you can defend Robby T all you want. He is the reason they have lost the last 4 postseasons. He has no feel. No IQ in big situations. I respect you so I'll let you have the last word. I strongly disagree with all that. And I don't remember saying removing Sanchez was wrong. I remember saying Ranger or Nola should have gone in. And I don't care if it's a situation they are used to.

Lmao they did Duran’s entrance with them down 3 runs - F’n clown show

I’m not saying Thomson is blameless. However their flaws are bigger than their manager. Hitters can’t hit worth crap. Their bullpen has been a disaster for 3 of 4 runs.

That said pretending like any manager in baseball is removing luzardo after 72 pitches, retiring 17 dodgers in a row and pitching a shutout is hilarious to me. You are going to hate the new manager too cause he wasn’t removing luzardo either. Neither was Dave Roberts. Neither was Charlie Manuel. Neither was Dallas green. No manager was removing luzardo at that point.

As for tonight they got 6 strong out of him. Maybe had had 10 pitches left before his arm ended up like Snell. You just saw what happened. You take what you get and keep them going up against strong arms who they haven't seen a few times today. That was my thinking. You saw what happened to Sanchez the other night as well. The more times they face a guy in the same day with a weakening arm isn't ideal to me. He's not Roy or Cliff back in the day.
