the FO already opted not to have Ross Stripling on the roster for this series, I say save Alex Wood for tomorrow as we have no clue of how Rich Hill will perform.

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.

Enough with the tight-ass unwritten rules...

Been annoyed with this bull narrative that they continue to keep with this guy.

Oh, Yasiel didn't put his right foot out when the team did the Hokie Pokie....brb bench him.
smfh.

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?

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.

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.

We shuffled the lineup to face a guy that can't make it to the 3rd... We got "Rob-ed"

Turner with a great at-bat for an RBI single and we add another run with the passed ball in left field. Turner now stands a 2B with Muncy coming in for Freese with 2 outs.

LOL. I know. That's what I'm saying.

I don't count 163 as that. Just a big regular season start.
