He never found his rhythm. Got ahead and then nibbled. He'll learn. He only gave up one hit for cripes sake.

Eloy getting a lot more walks now as pitchers are getting afraid to pitch him in the zone.

It's been bugging me, but I finally realized who Eloy reminds me of (plate only). The Cobra.

Figures this umpire would be on Laz Diaz's crew, also how the fuck is an incompetent dipshit like Laz Diaz a crew chief?

Which forced him to swing at the 1-2 pitch.

Nice turn by Franco there

I know they've got some good arms. They don't have many success in those pitchers though in play-off success. Kershaw has been a mess in the play-offs and is not the pitcher he once was although still good. But the others are not top guys on any ones play off starters list. Their pen is good but again, I think ours is better.

Again, you have to look at the weakness of the NL and how the Dodgers have been beating up on pretty weak teams. The other thing is their manager makes shit decisions in juggling his staff in the play-offs and can't set a rotation worth a shit.

Who have the White Sox been beating up on?

Dodgers are as solid up and down as anybody and they are the odds on favorite. And rightly so. By the way, Dustin May is another spectacular arm that's made a jump.

Granted, Roberts may fuck it up. But all he has to do is get it in his head that Season Kershaw isn't Playoff Kershaw and that solves 75% of his problems.


I simply disagree with that assessment. I don't think that the Dodger rotation is excellent just a bit over average. ANd neither is their bull pen. And Roberts is shit as a manager as far as I am concerned. He cannot set a rotation for the play-offs and the Dodgers have ignored getting a shut down closer and set- up guys for the play-offs. If the Dodgers were in the AL they'd be just another good team heading for the play-offs. I'm not saying that they are bad, but they are not special considering who they play.

I really don't know what previous bullpen years have to do with this year.
Kershaw, May, Urias, and Buehler. That's super quality playoff starting staff.

Let's make this simple. The Dodgers have an +82 run differential. 40 more than anybody. They are 2nd in runs given up(can't count the Cardinals) and 1st in runs scored. Yes the NL is 4A. But Dodgers only play the West and AL West. They don't get to play the worst division in baseball, the NL Central, like the Sox get to.

How? Parker had a massive ego. Loved to fight. And hit left handed. He was a great outfielder and player but he doesn't remind me a bit of Eloy.

Dave Parker? Not bad. Too he's not even half the defender Parker was in his prime.

Strictly at the plate. He explodes at the ball as quickly and strongly as Parker.

I noticed something about Eloy. Watch him with two strikes and a key hitting situation. He actually bends his knees to get lower on a breaking pitch to see if it is going to break in the strike zone or not. You really do not see this kind of adjustment a lot by a hitter. He is tall enough and quick enough to adjust from that position and still hit the ball if it is a strike. Amazing.
