Three no brainer moves that Mattingly refuses to make

[Smed55]

Can you be more specific? SVS clobbers lefties. Ethier is notoriously awful versus lefties. We are in a three man platoon situation at third.

The team has the second best record in baseball without Puig, Ryu and KJ (for the majority of it). I don't get too worked up managers because hindsight is always 20/20. Mattingly has improved in my opinion.

You're telling me nothing when you say Puig, Ryu, and KJ have been out, duh! So has Crawford, McCarthy, we lost Kemp, Ramirez, and Gordan, I get all that. Mattingly has nothing to do with our players playing well. Managers don't win games, but they can cause us to lose games!

If I'm not mistaken against lefties this year SVS is 5-19, if that is clobbering Lefties, then Either must be annihilating lefties with his 6-17.

Gonzo is 10-30 against lefties!

So when and "if" we make the playoffs and have to face one and maybe even two different tough lefties do you really think we should sit Gonzalez, should AJ Ellis be in there, and a hot hitting Either, how's Peterson suppose to learn to hit lefties on the bench? You go with your best players period!

19 at bats and 17 at bats respectfully are not much of a sample size. I was referring to their historical performance.

As for Gonzo, he needs a rest from time to time.

The past means squat, when now is now, this year the numbers are what they are, you play your best players! I'm fine with giving Gonzo a day off, you do that when you go up against a teams worst pitcher, not their best! And you don't do it at the same time you rest 3 or 4 other starters!

 

[LASports96]

yeah cause 17 AB's are enough to tell us about the now, shut the fuck up

Ok I come in here and stat the facts and then there are assholes like you, fuck you! Ethier has been hot and he is hitting lefties, better than SVS, ya RIGHT NOW, so ya it does mean something, you fucking moron! What any of these guys did last year or any time in the past is irrelevant RIGHT NOW, What part of that aren't you getting?

gonzo is 10-30 against lefties, is 30 at bats enough for you? Ya down the road these guys might cool off, but RIGHT NOW, is RIGHT NOW, do I have to break that down more for you, maybe last week you were a decent guy but Right Now you are an asshole, see how that works?

 

[lasportzphan]

Yikes...

We got some runs and a win. Let's get along!

I'm fine with getting along in here, but when some jerk wad comes on here and throws that shit out there, he can expect it back, because it's totally unnecessary!

It's my opinion and if someone wants to disagree with that fine, but the bottom line is when a guy is hot you play him, I don't care if he is hot for just 10 at bats, he's hot Right Now! If that changes down the road, fine throw the match ups in there!

Gee aren't you the one that just said, Hatcher and Liberatore are good, and they will be fine, what sample size are you basing that on?

I'm not disagreeing with you, I think they are both an upgrade over what we had last year and they are pitching well, so far! RIGHT NOW,

How 'bout those Angels, Smed?

Are you just wondering, or are you trying to slam me? They are playing better, but when you have 3-4 starters hitting under 200 that's not good, but they do have the best player in the game, screw Bryce Harper!

I was trying to slam you. Best player in the game, yet still 4 1/2 games behind the Astros.

Hamilton and Pujols working out well?

lol didn't even realize that, a Dodgers and Angels fan? Jesus.

I could never do the duel allegiance thing, barely enough to focus on one team!

 

[Villain]

Well I really don't see any of our guys clobbering Bumgarner!

No one clobbers Bumgarner.

Hamilton and Pujols working out well?

Well that's pretty weak, youre really not slamming me, because I have absolutely nothing to do with whether the Dodgers or Angels win or lose, what either of them do is totally out of my hands! I'd say good try, but it wasn't!

I didn't like the Pujols deal but actually he hasn't been that bad for the Angels, Hamilton doesn't even play for the Angels, but good try!

The Angels are not playing well, but they are still right there behind the team with the best record in baseball, what are you going to do?

Well I'm not surprised, you don't seem to realize a lot of things! And this coming from a USC and Raider fan! There's nothing wrong with having a favorite team in each league, it's not like they are rivals, if they both made the world series, I'd be behind the Dodgers, been a fan since the 50's, angel fan since they were the California Angels.

Its kind of nice to have a "backup" team when your #1 team has struggled for years, I wish the Dodgers would start making it to the WS again, but it was nice when the Angels won in 02.

 

[Villain]

I've always held the opinion that the Dodgers and Angels are neighbors, not rivals.

Also, I hold the opinion that if you are claiming to be a fan of more than one team in the same sport, then you're not truly a fan of either team.
