6/28/18 CLUBES (Quintana) @ The Nite Owl Murders (Kershaw) 2:10 CST NBC Sports Chicago/MLBN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

How did the Dodgers suck so hard to start the season?

how are they not still terrible?

[Andy]

Why in the hell did Joe not just tell Quintana to keep bunting? That was a wildly predictable outcome of him swinging the bat.

[UMFan83]

 

At this point I feel like it's no longer jumping the gun to say that Hickey flat out sucks. We're leading the league in walks by a decent margin, and our rotation which was supposed to be a huge strength is a dumpster fire.

 

I don't know about sucks, he has a solid track record. He either might not fit with this group of pitchers or possibly we haven't given him enough time to get the expected results.

Or maybe these coaches have little to no control of things really happening

 

Yeah we don't know for sure but we have the pitchers track records pre-Hickey to go off of vs. with Hickey. Of course the sample size is too small and there are other variables outside of the pitching coach.

[Flames24Rulz]

Eloy only has 2 dongs in his 8 AAA games

 

probably would have the second most HR's on this dong-less team, right now.

[Sammy Sofa]

[UMFan83]

This dude again?

[TMan92]

Muncy is better than rizzo. Let that sink in. These guys are the Cardinals

Yeah I think a 15 game sample is probably too small to make anything of it. Especially because it’s not like guys are throwing different pitches or using them differently. I think if there’s any Hickey blame it’s not for them being the pitches they have been, it should be him not getting them righted, yet, and identifying the issues/causes.

[Cubswin11]

Muncy should go die, literally

[Sammy Sofa]

[The_Achiever]

We suck.

[Andy]

Javy will probably be our only All-Star this season. He's so freaking good.

[Old Style]

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Javy will probably be our only All-Star this season. He's so freaking good.

 

Lester for sure.

[Cubswin11]

Nice job Addy!!

[Andy]

Lester for sure.

Good point, he's a must.

 

Nice hit, Addy.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Max Muncy and Jesus Aguilar have combined for 35 home runs this year in in about 435 PA. Baseball can go fall in a well

[Cubswin11]

I guess Kershaw just gets 3-5 inches extra around the plate

[UMFan83]

Should I be happy that we got a 2 out RBI hit, or pissed that we got a leadoff double and the heart of the order couldn't do horsefeathers with it until Addy?

I've decided to just be happy when anyone does anything with run-scoring chances these days.

It’s ridiculous, both those guys can go die off any day now.

[soccer10k]

Piece of advice for Q: Get the 7-8-9 hitters out. Two of them generally suck and the third is a pitcher.

[NotSoSober]

and Christian Villanueva has 16

[squally1313]

Single through a hole in the infield or bloop single in front of Happ?

[UMFan83]

you suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Quintana
