.... Dubon was 10 feet from the bag while the runner was 5 feet away
Yeah, whoops
12:37
This Eduardo Perez rant is so weird
Dodger Fan
12:37
Calling it because I want to: Betts slam coming up!
Matt
12:37
Feel really bad for Jimenez in this inning.  Got squeezed a bit and then screwed by the defense.  Rough way to start the year.
Ben Clemens
12:37
Yeah his stuff has not blown me away
But he hasn't been this bad
Eric A Longenhagen
12:37
I don't think Kapler always implements new thinking in the optimal way
Ben Clemens
12:38
Well that's true, but I have no issues with pulling Crawford there
This isn't call in a reliever when no one's warming
He does some goofy stuff. But pinch hitting for Brandon Crawford in a big spot of a tie game against a lefty
When Dubon can cover short?

ok folks, as it's a 5-run lead and i'm the lone East Coaster on our chat squad I'm going to grab some bench
Eric A Longenhagen

good night!
Ben Clemens

Later Jay
Dodger Fan
12:39
Oof
Ben Clemens
12:39
Excellent pitch there
Eric A Longenhagen
12:40
Why Solano and not a real bopper like Ruf or Davis, then Solano on D the next inning? In the 7th, the opportunities in an all-DH world for those two guys to hit are gonna be limited the rest of the way. I get not wanting to burn two guys in one move, I guess.
Ben Clemens
12:40
Nah that's fair
That's a legit counter-argument
12:41
"But Crawford is clutch" is not
Dodger Fan
12:41
Yeah that was a great pitch
Easily his best of the night
Smiling Politely
12:41
he got away with that first pitch, but man did he fool him there
Ben Clemens
12:41
Yeah that was what he thought he did against Joc
Like, twice!
TKDC

Maybe the announcers shouldn’t talk about the game if they are going to dwell on well-past-his-prime Brandon Crawford for 20 minutes?
Ben Clemens
12:42
I'M ALL IN ON ANALYTICS BUT
Grits
12:43
I figured when Farhan hired Kapler he must’ve thought there’d be improvement. But that was a classic goofball Philly Kapler decision
Dodger Fan
12:44
I wonder what percentage of the game these guys have actually commented on?
Ben Clemens
12:44
They go in and out
We do as well, to be fair
Smiling Politely
12:45
it reminds me of "WITH ALL DUE RESPECT" from Talladega Nights, which permits you to say anything you want without regard to respect immediately afterward
Eric A Longenhagen
12:45
Kolarek just carving
Ben Clemens
12:45
"No disrespect, but"
"I'm all-in, but"
12:46
Same vibe
It's fun to watch Kolarek
Connecting…
