Why is Uribe pitching in the 7th down 2 having pitched 40+ pitches in the last 3 days? Might want to save him for when you are in a spot to win a game.

Quote from: Jockey on October 14, 2025, 08:55:54 PMThis Dodger team - when healthy which they are now - is one of the all-time great teams.

Their Starting Pitchers 1-4 are the greatest os all time. Certainly 1-3 of the late 90s Braves is comparable but they didn't have a 4th as good as Glasnow. Same with the Phillies with the Halliday/Hamels group.

If only there were a system that could prevent this

Dodgers 8/9 spots have matched the entire team's production.

Quote from: MuggsyB on October 14, 2025, 08:54:02 PMI will admit Yelich has been a complete disaster.  Hard to win if you get zero from the guy. 
Yelich's last playoff RBI was in 2018.

Quote from: wadesworld on October 14, 2025, 08:46:02 PMMoney can't buy happiness, but they can buy World Series championships. Having no salary cap is absurd.

There are levels to this. The Brewers might be the second best team in baseball...and they're not even close to the Dodgers.

It's a total farce this is allowed.  The only major professional league that thinks this is fine.  Hope MLB and owners are happy.

You realize the lack of a salary cap isn't because of the owners right?

The owners aren't united at all.  The large market owners could care less about the health of the sport.

Don't blame the large market owners. They are doing what they should do to win.

The league overall wants a salary cap. But that requires the players to get on board. (And I don't blame them for refusing.)

Regardless whining about the system when you get down 2-0 is Bud Selig, loser mentality thinking.

Classic Fluffy.  Change the argument.  First it wasn't the owners fault. Now it's don't blame them after it's pointed out many owners don't care about a cap. 

Then shift to name calling.  That's nice you'll be one of the rare people outside of CA that enjoys the Dodgers run to a repeat.

I didn't change a single argument. Strike one. 

I didn't call you a name. Strike two.

I'm not rooting for the Dodgers. Strike three.

You're about as good as the Brewers bats right now. And like usual, I'm mowing you down like the Dodgers pitching.

I'm not sure that's it.  They ran into a buzzsaw.  Obviously the Dodgers' A game is too much.  But it's a 7 game series.  Nothing is over, despite how dire it looks right now.
