Keep this Broxton outing in mind

[No coincidences]

I watched Nathan do this last year, and he was never the same. He had like a 53-pitch outing at Kansas City in the middle of the year, and really struggled from that point on. Now he's on the shelf after major surgery.

Torre deserves to get lit up for this -- a non-save opp., leaving his star closer out there to rot. Pathetic. Use this as a tool when Broxton pitches again in the immediate future.

I was thinking the same thing, these closers aren't that mentally stable to begin with and when you mess with their routine, they get off their game. I still can't believe the Dodgers blew this game, going to lose my play on them and feel bad for the starter, guy had a solid outing and has nothing to show for it.

I have Kershaw and Broxton on my fantasy team, ICE, and the guy I'm going against has Mo and Cano.

wow bad luck. it happens

[southmadejd]

Are you saying that Broxton will probably have a bad run? Does this normally happen with closers?

[Mybologne]

i dont blame broxton i blame torre should've took him out when the first run scored

[spippen]

looked liked Bobby Jenks!! HAHAHAHAHA!!

[Nicky Santoro]

might be one of the best games i have seen in ages.. i think i am only saying this because i was on NYY and marked game as a loss when we were down 6-2 in the 9th with 1 out no one on.. i am sure if i was on LAD, i'd be saying worst game i'd ever seen.. so i think i am being bias here. but what a game.. what a comeback.. tonight,i have become a yankee fan for life.

What about George Sherrill? Guy blows....

I was on Yankees RL. When I checked the score it was 8-6 in the bottom of the tenth. Never knew I was in trouble until I looked a little closer.

Just wait until Chad Billingsley starts, talk about adding gasoline to the fire!!

[canepole]

agree

[gryfyn1]

1st - Joe Torre is an absolute butcher when it comes to managing a bullpen, this is nothing new (who knows what would have happened if he hadn't had the luxury of having the Best closer of all time closing for him).

2nd- on the Nathan Issue, whether or not that outing had anything to do with his injury, who knows, but he pitched just fine after that; 20IP, 16saves, 27K, 11BB, 7ER( 4 of those coming in one outing)

[golfrulz]

that got me the runline on the yanks lol.

[dodger33]

Maybe but if they give him a few days rest he should be fine.

[yisman]

He did it again. Over 40 pitches, allows three runs to score.

[yisman]

Runner on second, one out, Dodgers up 4-2. In comes Broxton.

Matt Holliday :Ball, Strike swinging, Holliday flied out to right.Randy Winn :Winn singled to right, Craig scored.Skip Schumaker :Ball, Strike looking, Ball, Foul, Ball, Schumaker walked, Winn to secondAlbert Pujols hit for Jason LaRue.Albert Pujols :Ball, Ball, Strike looking, Strike looking, Ball, Foul, Pujols grounded out to shortstop.End of Inning (3 Runs, 2 Hits, 0 Errors)
Cardinals 9thJonathan Broxton pitching:Yadier Molina :Ball, Strike swinging, Strike swinging, Foul, Ball, Molina singled to right.Brendan Ryan :Ball, Bunt foul, Ryan sacrificed to pitcher, Molina to second.Felipe Lopez :Foul, Ball, Lopez flied out to left.Jon Jay :Ball, Foul, Strike looking, Ball, Ball, Jay walked.Allen Craig :Strike swinging, Ball, Foul, Ball, Craig singled to center, Molina scored, Jay to second.Matt Holliday :Ball, Foul, Strike swinging, Holliday singled to right, Jay scored, Craig to second




the game winner would've been for extra bases, but it goes as a single because the winning run scored.

[Brock Landers]

Wow, very surprised st Louis won this one, that's terrible by LA

[Duby]

Bad management!!

[Mybologne]

broxton messed up again that's twice he got me!!!! first was the yanks and now with the cards WTF!!!!!!!!!!

Here we go again.....

Wish I could live bet in the ninth.

as soon as i saw broxton on the mound i thought of this thread

Torre single-handedly ruined this guy's career.

[KC]

I hate this guy, big time choke artist likes Jenks

[darkenergy]

i dont blame broxton i blame torre should've took him out when the first run scored

I think Torre betting against his own team. Remember few weeks back when they play with Yanks at home on Sunday night. Dodger was up something like 9-4 going 9 inning, Torre keep that fat ass broxton for something like 50+ pitches or so, Yanks end up tired the game, and won 13-9 in extra innings.

[floridagolfer]

If you want to butcher the LAD managing for anything, it's allowing Kershaw to get tossed. What's more important, winning the game or stroking the overgrown egos of your players? Maybe SF comes back and wins the game anyway, but that was an idiotic move.

[dodger33]

No coin you nailed this to a T man.

I hope Torre helps pay for his Tommy John surgery in the offseason.

[HoulihansTX]

Torre is a bum

Bronx is a bum

My Dodgers(-125) ticket makes me look like a bum

[Fthenorm]

miracle of miracles! 8 runs in the last 2 innings...they were done, now they are really done!
