";s:4:"text";s:4313:"Sure that’ll get them over the hump.As an aside, also remember the national league was terrible this year and bound to be better next year. There were quite a few instances of that. Pederson got most of his at bats as a leadoff hitter. Losing Yet despite all of these issues the boys in blue captured their sixth consecutive NL West division title. That’s not good for a guy in that spot. What you see in the case was made fresh and that is all the shop has. Might be stuck with Kemp (nobody will take on his salary). They are under federal investigation because of illegal practices in the signing of Cuban players. 65 Mil is a lot of money to just walk away from.
I remember him as a rookie in 59. Not sure how that will play out since he is supposed to get 32.5 the next two years. He has his philanthropic charities he and his wife work on in the winter, and the guaranteed money would keep that going. But to me, the analytics and stats say he is like Puig and a much better hitter lower in the order. Fact, not fiction. ”Zaidi rebutted this very argument just now. We’re suffering and the sting of this loss will linger throughout the winter.
I would like to see him possibly retire a Dodger. I keep them for the what those guys did as Dodgers and that’s how I remember them. Always have, always will. He can’t be worse than Joc, can he?Kemp will block the future development of the OF as he will only be used in a platoon. A total bust. Big D was always saying that he never found a way to get McCovey out. His career OBP is .350. This seems like a statement implying the Dodgers cannot be good without him. Muncy lost his way in the playoffs. Once again we were forced to watch another team celebrate and hoist the World Series trophy on the field of Dodger Stadium. Roberts is a smart Manager wih plenty of baseball knowledge and experience, but was hogtied by the FO.1) FO demands Roberts to manage strictly by the spreadsheets.Roberts can only work with what he is given, and what he is told to do. He has proved that a lot of times those moves backfire, and in last years series and this years he made decisions that in most people’s opinion cost the Dodgers games. Can Verdugo rise to it? If there were a Field of Dreams, he would be there for sure…. Live arms at a discount.if i was a manager i would not take the job if they are going to tell me what to do …dave made lots of money when he played..so he does not have to do what they say …tell them to take a hike he should of said no to that when they told him to follow the new way..Exactly why it’s silly to assume Roberts doesn’t have freedom.Roberts has freedom as far as in game decisions, but his lineups are dictated by analytics that are provided by the FO and their team. Yeah, I did not need analytics to tell me that guy was a monster. A great ballplayer.
