Im actually interested to see how Stewart pitches. Not expecting a complete shelling.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:10 PM) Well, Happy Fathers Day everyone. This clearly sucked, but nothing more to say about that debacle. Meh in the end its just a game. Life moves on and we play the Cubs on Monday.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) Terrible, this one is on Ventura. Hooray for rookie managers. Wasnt this to be expected? Its either Robin or the guy who likes Fidel Castro.

Matt Thornton is a bad pitcher.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:04 PM) Aided greatly by AJ's defensive apathy. But that wasn't yesterday, it was Friday night. Ah crap my bad

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 06:01 PM) When the LF plays a single into a triple blame the pitcher. Clearly that goes on both. Its not like Matt didnt have a game ending Wild Pitch yesterday.

Glad Matt wants to end this game here as well. What a worthless reliever he is.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:56 PM) Do we want to pay AJ Pierzynski $15 million for the next 2 seasons? Other than Napoli, there are ZERO free agent catchers that are interesting options. Maybe Doumit would be okay, Iannetta's the other guy there. The thing is, we'll never know whether Flowers could be serviceable hitting-wise because nobody in baseball can be effective playing once every 10-14 days. He has been striking out since he came to this organization and was stuck in AAA. He played a ton down there. What does that tell you? He is continuing it here.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) Dodgers have never won an interleague series against the White Sox until today possibly. The funny thing is that it should have been a sweep the other way. Guess AJ isn't available. 0 for 4, 4 K's from Flowers, that's what happens when you play once every 2 weeks. Now Escobar? Is Ventura trying NOT to win this game on purpose? This is taking one out of the Ozzie Guillen playbook of managing. Still don't understand why DeAza didn't take a shot at swiping 2B, either. Yes that must be it. Cant be that he has played like this since coming to this organization.

Who said during that AJ is lazy discussion that they wanted to roll with Flowers and Phegley?

God Tyler Flowers is an awful baseball player

QUOTE (Wedge @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:45 PM) I think if anything should be questioned it's why does Quintana get the kids glove treatment? If the closer can't close, that's a roster issue not a tactical problem. Reed can close. He was going to blow a save at some point. Move on and score next inning.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) That's a stretch Ya think?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:42 PM) Glad we did that for the sake of using the closer in the closer's role. Especially when our closer is so god awful

Horrible throw Rios

Just a lucky hit there

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) You are the biggest second-guesser here. I was joking ofcourse about the being in charge thing.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 05:35 PM) What a shocker. You should be in charge

Why a high fastball?

Dont hit anything near Ethier

Jose Quintana is an absolute monster. Mowing down the Dodgers

Tank!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) Flowers strikes out looking so freaking much. I wish he'd just swing hard 3 times and hopes he hits it. Just a bad player, yet some would rather give him the starting spot and not bring back AJ. Didnt someone say that they would rather have Flowers start than AJ?

That was dirty

end this game so I can go to bed
