QB sneak from inside the 1 ya turds

Need a better kicker if we are going to take the air out of the ball

Throw it away buddy no way barf can make this

Mirotic does nothing for me at this point. I suppose you could flip him at the deadline if he plays well but I don't want him eating into Markkanen's minutes too much.

Is there anywhere to get Plate Discipline (o-swing, z-swing, etc) data for playoff games?

Chris Taylor is Brady Anderson and the dodgers have a rampant PED program at the major league level btw

Chris Taylor is a drug cheat

Blistering contact by our middle of the order heroes

no one turns a line drive into a ball that can't even get past the infield grass on the fly quite like heyward

why would a game between two NFC teams be on CBS? did they do away with conference/network alignment and I didn't notice?

How is Brandon Morrow not a drug cheat
-
People keep talking like this as if the Dodgers don't have a great chance to win the World Series now. That's the tragedy here.

Maybe don't throw it there

looks like a lot of anticipated drama this season: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/21039684/predictions-division-conference-nba-champs

also, i would submit we're not putting enough traffic on the basepaths or hitting balls hard enough, often enough to get bit in the ass by bad sequencing or batted ball luck. one of you periph wizards find out what our LD%, o-swing % and all that stuff is compared to our normal periphs. we're expanding and then not hitting anything with authority that does find the zone.

those totals were against, by definition, league averagish offenses (i know it doesn't quite work out that way) not a good one like the cubs and they haven't pitched all, or even close to most, of the innings so far this postseason. the cubs bats are seriously under performing where you'd expect them to be. yes but there's just no such thing as "where you'd expect them to be" in a 7 game sample, especially one where you disproportionately face insanely good pitchers and throw in one weather nightmare for good measure. it's just baseball. it's sequencing luck, batted ball luck, etc. and sometimes it adds up to things that look like trends that are really meaningless. sure, but as long as we're assigning blame to dumbass decisions by joe (and he for sure deserves some blame) we should probably take a look at the impotent bats.

.172/.266./.272 as a team again, no pitching is that good we're facing great pitchers who are executing but we're probably between 2 and 3 standard deviations below where you'd expect this offense to be at. we're in almost worst case scenario territory. Scherzer .178/.242/.319 Kershaw .184/.204/.268 (in 2016) WRONG. Some pitchers are that horsefeathering good. those totals were against, by definition, league averagish offenses (i know it doesn't quite work out that way) not a good one like the cubs and they haven't pitched all, or even close to most, of the innings so far this postseason. the cubs bats are seriously under performing where you'd expect them to be.

IDK. It's almost like they faced 4 starts in 7 games against guys who will be top 3 in the Cy Young this year. .172/.266./.272 as a team again, no pitching is that good we're facing great pitchers who are executing but we're probably between 2 and 3 standard deviations below where you'd expect this offense to be at. we're in almost worst case scenario territory.

i'm still more upset about our impotent offense how can everyone slump at the same time
