That was so a JD moment going opo like that

Madson: “lemme throw fastball” *cant find zonr

”lemme try slider” *eats dirt*

Somewhere, Joe Maddon is sitting at home smiling about the managing decisions.

Ryan Madson

10:15

Where I was once the Bridge to Lidge, I am now the Advance Man for Jansen

Brendan

10:15

Roberts will be second guessed on his bullpen choices in this series basically forever

Tyler

10:15

Bogey could go deep right here

Craig Edwards

10:16

Madson's been really good for the Dodgers in regular and postseason. Coming in with the bases loaded is a bad situation for any reliever. That's probably where Roberts erred.

Dan Szymborski

10:16

Puig was 319 feet deep on Martinez's hit.

Average RF vs JD Martinez: 302 feet.

Average RF in Fenway vs RHB: 294 f… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Ryan is going to have one Mad-Son when he gets home to LA if he's the reason they blew this game (I didn't fact check if he has a son)

Joe

10:16

I’d literally rather the Dodgers go 0-162 than this BS.

Imagine Dragons

BELIEVER! BELIEVER !

Matt

10:17

The Dodgers (Dave Roberts) made the same process error two nights in a row. Kershaw should not have seen the top of the order a third time in under 2 hours last night, and Ryu should not have, either. They're being repaid for their process error. Neither Kershaw nor Ryu have the 'stuff' to face an elite caliber offense a third time thru the order, and especially not in a close game / must-win game.

Chris

10:17

But in this situation, where getting out of the inning is critical, why not go to Kenley? Don't you have to go in on the lead you have?

Dan Szymborski

10:17

I would have

Craig Edwards

10:17

I think it depends on the game and situation, but that's a pretty good synopsis the last two nights.

Nick Mar - Cake is Good

10:17

How many pitches would a pitcher pitch if a pitcher (Madson) could pitch pitches?

Craig Edwards

10:18

We'll see what happens with Price now.

Dan Szymborski

10:18

I'd be too aggressive about leverage possibly. I'd have pinch-hit for Buehler with the bases loaded that time

Tony womack

10:18

Roberts is taking the fun out of the world series

Nick Mar - Cake is Good

10:18

Using Kenley in the fifth makes Pedro Báez your closer; not good

Dan Szymborski

10:18

But you take the high leverage situation you KNOW exists over the one that MIGHT

10:19

If someone's having an anaphylactic shock from a bee sting, you don't hang onto the epipen just in case they're stung by two bees later on.

Nick Mar - Cake is Good

10:19

But Dan, based on how the offense has performed, the Dodgers would likely have a 1-run lead in the 8th where you could bring him in

Dan Szymborski

10:20

Jansen increases the odds you actually HAVE a one-run lead

Nick Mar - Cake is Good

10:20

Now I’m not a fan of a traditional closer, but in this case Roberts made the right decision

Dan Szymborski

10:20

I will disagree on this one!

Cam

10:20

There's no excuse for not going to Jansen, or at least Baez there. Madson has been hittable all year - 1.4 WHIP on the season (1.3 w/ the Dodgers). A Closer is of ZERO use to a team sitting on the pine with the team behind.

Tilebreaker

10:20

Will Mia Sara be at the game in LA when Buehler pitches?

kevin

10:21

I'm just not convinced that if Roberts goes to Jansen there, and Baez gives up the lead in the 9th, we don't all change our mind about Roberts choice...

Dan Szymborski

10:21

I didn't change my mind about pinch-hitting with Schoop early the other dya

Craig Edwards

10:21

I think it was a either a batter too early or too late. Pull Ryu before he gets the bases loaded or let him pitch to Pearce. Bases loaded is a bad spot to come into the game.

Dan Szymborski

10:21

For some reason, Buck being made to say Harry Potter names amuses me.

Leverage Index

10:22

The Leverage Index for the Pearce walk was 4, and the JD single was 3.6. Those are really high leverages.

Eddie Stanky Leg

10:22

Buehler jokes are worse than any commercial during the World Series, prove me wrong.

Dan Szymborski

10:22

If I was an obnoxious billionaire, I might produce a big movie called Dweeble's Big Drippy Adventure and pay for Buck to have to say it during the World Series

Craig Edwards

10:22

anyone?

Matt

10:22

craig edwards: I agree with situation and game ... thats why I said "especially not in a close game / must-win game"
