It's not shocking to Dodger fans. Honestly, I thought it was 60/40 in favor of them getting a couple runs in the bottom 9th. I agree that (from the outside looking in) it should be shocking. It's not unusual for them to lay down late against Frisco. Just why (exactly) did you think a team with this talent is always trying to get back to .500? IF YOU ARE GUNNA TRY TO SHUT A TEAM DOWN IN THE BOTTOM 9TH, THEN IT IS PROBABLY GUNNA TAKE A COUPLE STRIKE OUTS, OR YOU SHOULD AT MINIMUM BE TRYING TO STRIKE PEOPLE OUT. Neither pitcher the last 2 games seemed to understand this. They don't seem to get it. A closer has to be a brutal bullfighter. You can't be looking to pitch to contact. Your goal should be for all 3 batters you face to have trouble making contact. If you allow them contact then it's gunna be luck of the draw. That's what Kuo got. 2 cheap hits, a popped up bunt,and 3 groundballs. Should of made defensive plays,but you need to not rely on that. You need to strike people out, and they are so poorly coached by Honeybutt that they have no clue how to really close games the right way. The majority of Saito's saves ended with Martin giving him back the fkn ball. Get a fkn clue Honeybutt. Got too many dumb fkrs in charge of these people. They have the talent on the pitching side for sure. They aren't properly directed at all. They are mirroring this honeycunt. He ever throw over 80? FKN FINESS TRASHCUNT MEDIOCRE PITCHER, and they are being led by him. They need to come into the 9th inning knowing the management wants them to throw it by people. They don't. They act like they never get any direction at all. It's like a single-parented kid. They're lacking in the things that only men can instill in them. Torre, and Honeycunt are some very tame examples of men. A tea drinka, and a mediocre finesse trash pitcher.
