Jay Kirk Baseball Thread since 2017: The 2021 season, Dodgers Repeat?

Nats  just went ahead

[2006Coltsbestever]

Well, so much for that. Washington up 3-2, Carl gives up a 2 run HR. The BullPen just irks me.

Yeah without better Pitching there will be no Repeat, our BullPen cant hold leads. We got lucky to win on Monday. BullPen gave up 4 runs that night. Last season when we had Chapman this nonsense didn't happen.

Chapman saved us in Game 5 in the WS by Pitching 3 flawless Innings and on saves was 90% in every game. Yeah he gave up a 2 run HR that tied Game 7 in the 8th Inning, then he Pitched the 9th and got us the win. Your hate for Chapman is ridiculous and if you think we are better without him you are way wrong. Sorry to say that but you are.

[2006Coltsbestever]

This game is over. There isn't anyone in our BullPen right now that could hold Chapman's jockstrap.

My feelings come from my time as a coach and even before that my Athletic career and having a Father who was a coach

  I never bad mouth a current set of players or try to compare them to stars of the past

You do seem to dislike Chapman. He did get some much needed saves last year.

 

Lol. You root for the current roster yet root for Don Mattingly who isn't on the Cubs.

You Posted a while back that you were glad we didn't re-sign Chapman. CUBS just took the lead, HOLY CRAP!

Because of the salary he wanted

  The Soriano contract still scares me

No biggie, I hope Wade can save this. This would be the best win of the year without our MVP and coming back in the 9th with 3 runs.

[2006Coltsbestever]

1 out a way!

[PrincetonTiger]

2 out

love seeing Caritini in left

[2006Coltsbestever]

What an improbable comeback win by the Champs in a place that is tough to win, Gigantic victory without Kris Bryant! Wade got him, game over. What a win!

It is the same reason I question why the Cards gave Dexter such a big contract

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs now .5 out of 1st place again, fly the W Gozer. That was great stuff, reminded me of last year for a change.

[PrincetonTiger]

Loved it that LaStella and Jay figured into the comeback

Man this is by far the best win of the season. We needed this with all the negativity going on around the team.

Just got a notification that I quoted myself

Unbelievable comeback, that is what Champs do though. I am not sure but has Washington lost a game all season when up by 2 or more runs at home in the 9th Inning?

[PrincetonTiger]

Maybe Montero was a bad apple?

MLB has said their bullpen has blown 6 games

Yeah but my question was up 2 in the 9th at home.

They have blown several saves. Not sure if at home or by how many runs but their bullpen is their weak link. No lead is safe. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I am pumped up now, that win was huge! It's only June still but this shows me we are still capable of beating a Very Good/maybe Great team on the road no matter the circumstance. We just beat them without Bryant as well. I will take 2-2 all day against the team they have. Washington is loaded on Offense and Pitching.

Yeah but I don't think Washington has lost a game at home when leading by 2 or more in the 9th all season. I might be wrong.

Loved it that it happened with backups and/or guys playing "new" positions

Mark Grace, Shawon Dunston, 

 

I can never remember who played 3rd base when Grace, Sandberg, Dunston were in the infield. They had the twins in CF, Dawson in right and can't remember the left fielder. Joe Girard was the catcher, I believe.

3rd Base kinda rotated for awhile it was Vance Law

I liked Jody Davis, Harry Caray used to sing when he would come up to bat - singing Jody, Jody Davis king of Wrigley Field . RIP ol' Harry.
