Enough with the tight-ass unwritten rules...

down 0-5, going into the top of the 3rd, we can still win it. don't panic and pull the kid now. the nerves are gone. he gave up a walk to a pitcher to give up the first run, completely lost control in fear of giving up runs. he gave up the grand slam. there is nothing he can do worse from here on and even the kid knows it.
don't pull the kid, keep him in there. he will do fine from here on.

His first playoff start should have been at home and it would have been if this team didn't trick off games against the Padres or lose a series to the awful Dirt Bags coming down the stretch.
He should have had the crowd behind him when he saw his 1st sign of October trouble.....not a bunch of people doing a stupid racist chant.
I agree. Don't pull him.

agree that he should have started his first playoff game at home, but who do you pull? Ryu or Kershaw?

He started against the Rockies on Monday.
He couldn't have pitched Thursday or Friday. That's why I blamed our failures for pushing us to a 163rd game....not picking between him and Kershaw and Ryu.

I gave Kershaw a number of seasons to prove me wrong. Lord knows I spent too much time defending him as well.
Buehler will get the same from me. I'm just a little annoyed now.
Even the best of them have crappy October starts on their resume.

yeah but that is game #163, not exactly playoffs.

I meant Ryu is that big time playoff pitcher you are looking for.

LOL.
I'm hoping. He has the best mental of all of our guys to me.
