I told you that Flaherty was fucking trash.
He's one of those journeyman tier starting pitchers who will basically lose every 1 game that they win. That's exactly what we've seen over the course of the playoffs. 1 night he'll have good command and velocity and the next start he'll look completely clueless.
This BLM loving nigger doesn't even look like he can get out of the motherfucking first inning.
Should Roberts even use his high leverage guys now ? I have a feeling that they're not done smashing the shit out of Flaherty.
Edit: Well, what did I tell you ? Nigger Flaherty allows 4 runs and now they have to take him out and burn up some of the better bullpen arms. On the other side, Cole doesn't look like he's going to give up any contact today so why even bother ?
Edit: I don't think that Ohtani is necessarily hurt. I just think that he's in a slump at the worst possible time and is also being pitched hard. I have confidence that he can bust out of the slump but it's not going to be easy.
I don't trust Banda in Game 6 and Game 7 because he just walks too many batters. I'd rather that they burn him up in this game and rely on the others back in LA (yes, I'm already resigned to the fact that this thing is going back there).
Edit: Well what the fuck do I know ? He goes to Brasier instead and Brasier does what he does: give up homers.
Edit: Can someone explain to me why Galaxy Brain Roberts is using up ultra high leverage arms like Kopech in a game where we're down 5-0 and Cole doesn't look like he's coming out anytime soon ?
Edit: Game tied now. You have to go and get what you are given in both life and in Baseball. Having said that, that was a horrible strikeout from Ohtani with the bases loaded. Even though they scored 5 runs in that inning, you have to at least put the ball in play...Cole will have to be taken out now (I think ?) because he's had 90 odd pitches and must be running on fumes. All to play for...
Edit: Even Vesia, who has been one of their best pitchers can't help himself and has to load the bases before somehow getting himself out of the jam. To the 6th we go fellas.
Edit: So now will Cole finally be taken out of the game ? I mean, I don't know if it makes a difference because if your starter can give you a good 6 innings then you know that the Bullpen can go all out. Heart of the Yanks lineup coming up as well...do they keep Vesia in ? I would, now that I think about it.
Edit: Why the fuck can we not have automated strike zones already ? I mean what the actual fuck. 2 strikes against Judge called balls...
Edit: This needs to be said. Cole looks like Ethan Ralph. Even more reason to hate the fucking Yankees.
Edit: Dodgers load the bases with no outs and Weaver is coming in. Gavin Lux better keep his bat glued to his shoulder and take a 3 pitch strikeout if needed. I want Ohtani and Betts to have 2 cracks at it with the bases loaded.
