Reason why the Dodgers lost tonight

[THA_DIESEL]

Joe Torre played to lose.

POOR game managing. Dodgers are facing Dan Haren, and then get down 2-0.

In this case, you need every run you can get.

Bottom 2nd: They load the bases and instead of pinch hitting for Kuroda, they let him bat. Automatic out to end the inning.

Bottom 4th: Runners on 1st, 3rd. They again let Kuroda bat. Automatic out to end the inning.

What does Kuroda do for Torre for letting him stay in the game? Gives up a lead off double to Haren, who is then brought home by Conor Jackson. Ball Game.

Answer to the question: you.

[chrislau86]

Why didn't you give him a call? If he knew you had points on the Dodgers, I'm sure he would of pulled his starting pitcher in the 2nd inning.

In all seriousness, don't sweat it. Keep posting your plays. You are straight up GOLD and I like your style, seriously

Are you new to NL baseball or are you just pretending to be stupid?

One can only wonder how many World Series the Yankees might have won without him. Guy is one of the most overrated managers in baseball the past two decades. Not even in the same league as guys like Bobby Cox or Tony la Russa.

LoL why would anyone take out SP after 2 innings when they are only down by 2.

[dollarbill]

Torre of Baseball reminds me of Jackson of Basketball. Give them both superstars and they're both the greatest Manager/Coach. I think Torre needs to go for a ride with Jackson on his motorcycle.......

[eatdust11]

I know you want them to score runs.. but down 2-0 in the 2nd inning, you can't take out your starter.

Idiots

you were saying....

[THA_DIESEL]

Guys, I'm not alone. Look at this post I just read in the other thread.

I fukin hate the NL. Why do pitchers bat...2nd time pitcher was up to bat with runners in scoring position with 2 outs.

[blanc0]

nice post-game cap
pre would be more useful though ;p

[Law-Byrnes]

Tie game! Go diesel great pick!

[lyon804]

Last I checked the MLB schedule is 162 long games... I hope you were kidding about pulling the SP in the 2nd for a PH because of a offensive opp?? Are you serious? If managers did this everytime they would whore out the BP before the ASB and be forced the finish the season with minor leagures.

[texhooper]

diesel why do you always have to make more than one thread about every single game you post? all it does is give a losing pick more attention. it starts to add up after awhile.

i still don't think you're betting these games, i think you're taking the other side and working a jinx to the fullest.

[orangeheaven]

If you pull out the SP early, you mess up your BP. Thats why they play in Series.

DH is like letting Nowitzki shoot Shaq's Free Throws.

[mundane]

is this thread a self counter jinx???

is this thread a self counter jinx???

Dodgers just came back, no jinx.

[shari91]

I've been waiting for Diesel to start a "See I Told you haterz the Dodgers would win" thread since they first tied it up.
