    "The Dodgers bullpen has been their Achilles heel this year." - Jessica Mendoza

    Dodgers bullpen currently the BEST in the big leagues in opponent's average in the last month.

    What is their ERA if you take out Kenley Jansen?

    Answer me that, Ronald.

    They have the 11th best era. If that's the Dodgers problem, they should be well off.

    You guys need to stop blindly believing the media and do your own work, especially if you want to make money in this business.

    Dodgers bullpen has been solid, with the exception of Hatcher and Howell.

    Jansen accounts for less than 15% of IP this year by BP.

    Dodgers still in Top 5 without Jansen, prior to tonight.

    Women should not be calling baseball games. I'm watching the Blues game because of this.

    If you remove every teams best reliever, it's going to make each bullpen look a little worse.

    there are some reaaaaaalllly bad pens so far this year though. While they may not be anything special, the Dodgers pen is still above league average

    Ronald, you're buried badly here.

    Just let it go.

    I know you were taking a shot at Jessica Mendoza, because you hate women, and want to rid the world of them.

    She may or may not be the best baseball analyst, and yeah, she looks like a witch when she smiles and wrinkles her nose. But I'm sorry, she wins this round. And you're taking it on the chin. Again. And before the evenings over, it'll probably be all over your face.

    You thought the Warriors were going to be -150 versus Oklahoma City.

    You have a lot of nerve calling ANYONE clueless.

    How about the fact that within minutes of Medoza saying what the OP here posted, the Dodgers bullpen turned a 1-1 game into a 4-1 deficit? I'd say Mendoza was right on the money and her timing was perfect.

    Yeah, other than their primary 7th and 8th inning guys sucking to the point where they're using Blanton to protect a lead, things are just swell.

    Mendoza knows her stuff but too vanilla. Boone is a bore as well. They need to bring in some folks who talk more shit.

    I agree with this, although it's sort of lesser of two evils kind of thing. I miss Harold Reynolds.

    Jessica Mendoza is a chore to listen to. Half of the time, she is cackling loudly over everyone. But she's a double minority, makes the decision easier for ESPN.

    Wasn't she talking about her softball experience and acting like it was relevant? It's sad how they have to infect all corners of society, why in the fukk would you want to hear a woman commentate on a male-only sport/league?

    Yup.

    She was talking about what her approach was at the plate when facing lefties.

    Totally different sport. Different pitch, different release point, different trajectory, etc.

    Clueless.

    Rise ball, fastball, change up, curve, all these pitches look more or less the same for softball.

    What a joke. Gotta appease the liberals though.

    They do the same crap in the World Cup. They put a chick calling the game. She has no idea what Messi is doing on the field because she never played at that skill level. But they have to be politically correct. Comment on your own fukking sport. Men's soccer is a different sport than women's.

    It's a big lose-lose for us.

    a] Educated fans don't want women who don't add anything announcing baseball/soccer/whatever

    b] Dumb mouth-breather fans just want to maybe catch a look at some clothed titties every once in awhile

    c] There are some dweeby super-lib types that watch baseball and won't say shit.

    d] b] and c] are way bigger than a]

    e] If you complain, you're regressive and a bigot.

    Your only recourse at this point is to hit them in the wallet boycott sponsors, and let them know you're doing it. It aint much, but this will just keep happening and happening until we get tired of complaining and just accept it.
