  1. Can't believe you guys are acting surprised.
  2. Guess I can't complain about him only going 5+ innings
  3. He just crushed the ball. It would have been gone on a normal day. It was short by 50 feet. The wind would have to be 80 MPH to do that.
  4. He was talking about there not being much foul ground. It made no sense.
  5. So the League contract with the Dodgers comes to an end. 117.1 IP, -0.5 fWAR
  6. Wow, I didn't think there was any way he held the base, but he did. Nice play.
  7. No one's surprised by this, I'm sure.
  8. Hendricks and Sczur, your players of the game. Nice work, pitchers.
  9. Why exactly? Not everyone hates him with a fiery passion. I don't hate him. I don't even dislike him. Doesn't mean I know why someone would feel bad for him
  10. Hendricks has had a bit of an up and down year, huh
  11. This is one one of the dumbest narratives you guys have come up with this season, and that's saying something. i wouldn't go quite as far. i'm probably just still reeling from dusty/the 2003 nlcs, but i despise leaving pitchers in for one more inning with a big lead. i don't think it's why we lost this game, but i do think it would have been better managing for arrieta to throw one less (meaningless) inning in the last game and one more (meaningful) inning tonight. As excellent as the bullpen has been pitching lately he wasn't really downgrading all that much, if at all, by pulling Arrieta after 7 excellent innings. We're talking about maybe getting one more full inning out of him in a game where the offense failed spectacularly to push across more than 2 runs with 15 players managing to get on base, and they wouldn't have been any more likely to actually score if he had stayed in. It's the epitome of nitpicking. It's a total 20-20 hindsight. If he leaves Arrieta in there and Arrieta gives up the lead, everyone is complaining that we should have brought Strop in. Strop's been great this year but he's going to give up runs. [expletive]. People were asking why Arrieta was coming out for the 9th when it happened because we knew something like this could follow.
