Because TLR is incompetent, and once he falls behind in the score, he doesn’t go all out to get back in the game, and brings in guys likeSousa with an ERA of over 8. I would think that TLR is one of the very fewest if any that would give an intentional walk to a guy with 2 strikes in the count. TLR has to be removed now. He is the laughingstock of MLB and has been exposed this week against the Dodgers.

What a difference a day makes. If Mendick would had been hitting lead off yesterday instead of Leury, or Leury hitting lead off today, things would have been different. Harrison’s run just now would not have happened with Leury leading off.

The trifecta of sucking big time.

Schwarber would have been a good LH power hitter fit. His OF defense is not great but not worse than Sheets.

Could it be that Hahn has turned out to be incompetent in building a lineup? Prioritizing Leury at the expense of getting a quality 2nd baseman and lefty outfielder, shifting most resources to relievers and fielding a lineup like yesterday with three guys hitting under .200. What is the reasoning to having so many relievers when we can’t get enough runs? Trading for Kimbrel last season and not a lefty position player, when we already had an all star closer was not a good deal.

Moncada was a former 2 nd baseman. Are you saying Moncada’s D is worse than Harrison and leury’s?

Mendick is a big upgrade over Leury nowadays. We took out Leury and Moncada that are hitting below the Mendoza line. Only 2 scrubs today in the lineup Grandal and Harrison. Lineup today much better than yesterday. We have a chance today. Yesterday we did not.

Sounds like a good plan.

Our power outage is worrisome. Our leading home run hitter is Abreu with 7. Burger is coming on , we need him in the lineup everyday.

He is ruining his legacy. Becoming a cartoon character. Should resign for his own good and the good of the team.

This loss was predetermined before the start of the game because of the terrible lineup construction. Girardi and Madden were recently fired for much less incompetence.

Is Burger Latin? I think you meant top 5. Does TLR speak Spanish to chew them out? Maybe we should have kept Rentería…..

Should not have been hitting 3rd either.

They just said that it is hard to win with guys hitting below.200 in the 1 st, 3 rd and 5 th spots. This line up tonight was a joke. A 70 yard punt. Can we put TLR in the IL for mental injury?

Lack of energy, accountability, bad coaching, bad FO for starters.

Dodgers TV announcers once again called out TLR for leading off with Leury who will get more bad at bats than everybody else. They questioned TLR lineup construction, and the need to have one of your best hitters leading off. TLR is becoming a national laughingstock and hurting his legacy. He should retire.

Boo TLR for penciling him in at leadoff.

Not only you have the three in the lineup but they are hitting in top five positions in the lineup.

Someone must tell TLR that the matchup/platoon system is over going forward with the crappy switch hitters that we have. Play our best performing players regardless of matchups. The lineup tonight was a disgrace with Leury, Moncada and Grandal hitting in the top five of the lineup.

Particularly onelaeding off and the other batting third.

Right on. Why can’t our former HOF manager figure this out?. Our worst hitters can’t be on the top five of the lineup like tonight, because they don’t move runners over, don’t get on base or drive runs, and you put them in a position to get to bat more times in a game. TLR is the worst in MLB in constructing lineups.

The problem today is that he should not be hitting lead off. Mendick has been doing well. But TLR preferred a crappy switch hitter to a righty who has been hitting well because of the match up obsession. Also no way Grandal should have hitting 5 th. This game could have been tied with a better lineup construction. It is still a winnable game, but is ever easy with TLR in command.

The lineup was not conducive to put a rally together with three guys hitting below the Mendoza line in the first 5 spots, where we should have had our best hitters. F*uk the matchups, just play our best guys regardless.

Garcia should have never been leading off in the first place. TLR has to take part of those boos. Missing TA7.

Because he is lefty and TLR must have his matchups against righties.
