I don't know what to say. This was a crushing loss. At this point in the season we can't continue to lose like this. Broxton was horrible- just plain horrible. Belisario was no better. On a night the recently feeble Dodger offense scores an amazing 9 runs we find a way to lose. Dammit! A 7 run lead was flushed down the toilet.
This season is perilously close to being over.
There isn't much that could assuage my anger and frustration right now.
I'd say, "maybe the next time a starting pitcher who is going well walks 2 batters with 2 outs in the 7th inning, the manager and coaching staff will remember this game and think again about taking the pitcher out," but I think they're so trapped in their way of thinking that this game will never even enter their minds. The Dodgers' entire pitching staff has been mismanaged all year and it's basically killed the team's hopes of reaching the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteIt warrants mentioning that the collapse started with Casey Blake misplaying a ball. You know, the guy that we traded Carlos Santanna for.
