Stupid, Stupid Move by Mattingly

[crustyme]

LT it's the right move. You end it now with the best pitcher in baseball. Stop obsessing over pitch counts.

dumbass mofo.

lol

[t-wizzle]

On the verge of being 6-11. I don't really care, I just need over 6 so if LA wins 4-3 I'll be happy.

You think Nolasco goes 6 and 0 ER? I don't. Not Kershaw's fault the defense blew it.

[crustyme]

why? Girardi did it with the Yanks...used 3 man rotation when they won their last world series..

dumbass mofo.

lol

Greinke will win game 5 in atlanta

dodgers coming back with a run right here would be fantastic

There is a reason Kershaw had to come out of the game after 6 innings.

He pitched fine but he couldn't go deep because is only on three days rest.

I think there is a reason teams do so poorly in the post-season when they start a guy on three days rest.

A rested Kershaw would still be in the game and LA wouldn't be behind right now.

Nothing will change my mind that Mattingly did the Braves a favor.

Lets see how much heart these guys have...

fukk the Dodgers hope they lose

Not trying to change your mind. I already said earlier that I wasn't going to do that and you weren't going to change mine.

He gets out of the fourth like he should have and he goes one more inning. Either way you can blame the bats and the defense. 2 errors, a blown double play, and only 2 solo shots by Crawford. That's the real reason LAD is behind right now.

[crustyme]

I am not a fan of Mattingly as a manager but this is the best move I have ever seen him make.

You can't manage scared. He's going for it right now. You seize this opportunity and end the series with the best pitcher in all of baseball. Open your minds a little bit.

dumbass mofo.

lol

I will take Atlanta game 5 if LA doesn't come back.

Be my guest to back Griene in a huge game on the road like that.

LA put all of their eggs in a basket tonight when they didn't need to.

We will see if they can come back. I need a run.

Also the fact those errors made earlier cost him some pitches else he would be pitching in the 7th and probably its still tied

I'll take Greinke. 2.63 ERA this year ain't bad.

as i posted in another thread, we know that kershaw will be available if needed in game 5 so thats a bunch of whoreshit with 91 pitches thrown

he was sharp as fukkin razors tonight...he wasnt tired

[smitch124]

Walk Ramirez to get to Adrain Gonzalez, tell me team isn't stacked. They should win every fing game.

[crustyme]

mattingly not worried cause he has a well rested kershaw waiting in the wings for game 5.

oh wait.....

Kershaw was good tonight but I have a question for you guys.

If he was so razor sharp why did the Dodgers have to pull him after 6 innings? Is it a coincidence that as soon as he comes out Atlanta had life and took the lead?

Why would you pull a guy after only 90 pitches when he is razor sharp? Kershaw has shown this series he can throw 124 in a game. What happened?

I need 1 more LA run...

You really think Kershaw will be much of a factor in game 5 if there is one?

[crustyme]

you would rather have the #2 starter who already lost in atlanta over the ace who won in atlanta?

you really are a dumbfuk, aren't u?

im not sure if you agree with me or not

he shouldnt have been taken out...and the best part was that his spot in the order was coming up in the 7th

[easyliving]

really hope Greinke lays an egg in game 5 and this decision costs them the series.

Obviously he wasn't going to throw another 124 pitch outing. I figured he'd top out around 100. 6 strong in the playoffs is different than 6 strong in the regular season. Kershaw was excellent tonight - you can't deny that.

Yet again you're looking at the wrong things here. The offense and defense did not do their jobs.

[turbozed]

Agree completely.

[lakerboy]

When I was a kid I watched Don Mattinglt put on some incredible performances as a player for my beloved yanks. He had skills and a back problem. He still did his best. He was the best player in baseball or near there for a couple of years. I felt so bad for him when he retired and THEN the yanks won it all.


Now I just don't understand this move. It makes it look like his team was in a tough spot. They didn't need kershaw but thenm again mattingly knew garcia would be this good.


Mattingly better hope the dodgers find a way here cause they are in big trouble.

[importmoon]

Mattingly bets the Braves to win the series... stupid fukk.. Vegas laughing their way to the bank...

Lol Wilson shitting the bed now

he should have come out for the 7th inning

if you're gonna use him, then use him...they've got wilson and jansen to take care of the 8th and 9th

that really isnt even a discussion

You don't understand this move? I do. It was vintage Mattingly. He's basically the worst manager in baseball.

I'm not denying Kershaw was good. Maybe you're missing my point.

Atlanta had to beat Kershaw once to win this series. By bring Kershaw back on three days rest, the Dodgers were essentially giving Atlanta the ability to beat an unrested Kershaw vs a rested Kershaw.

This helped Atlanta because instead of having to face Kershaw 7 to even possibly 9 innings, they got him out of there in 6 innings.

There is an obvious reason Kershaw was pulled 33 pitches sooner tonight even though he was "razor sharp". If Kershaw was completely rested he wouldn't have been pulled and this game would still be tied.

If Atlanta had found a way to beat Nolasco tonight the Braves would have really been up against it in game 5. If they hold on here, they have a ton of momentum and are going home with a lot of confidence while LA will be wondering what the hell happened.

exactly.

this is the same bonehead who removed kershaw in a 1-1 game after just 7 innings... because he thought righty-righty matchup was more favorable.
