Clayton Manning 2: The Chokening

 

[Nickle]

Kershaw couldn't stop thinking that it was the 7th inning. He was doing so well up until that point.

 

[ratcliffja]

I can't blame Kersh. Bullpen sucks so he had to do it again on his own.

Absolutely. Kershaw went longer than he should have on short rest. This offense has been awful.

 

[Entropy912]

Let's get out of this inning and see how much heart this team has.

none

 

[Chuck]

Did that hr look robable to anyone else?

 

[Gouty]

Cain would have caught that.

 

[zroid]

It's not over yo

Spoiler

Cards could still score a few more

 

[sf2fanatic]

Not like this now. Keep the fight on doyers

 

[Amory]

I can't believe how many times I've seen this shitty movie and I keep watching it

 

[HarryDemeanor]

HOW MANY ANGLES DO YOU HAVE FOR THIS HOME RUN!?

FUCK YOU MATT STAIRS.

 

[CygnusXS]

Everything is awful

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I wonder if Joan Baez is available.

 

[Jack Remington]

We are going to lose to the Cardinals twice, with Kershaw taking two losses in each series twice.

Nothing takes away this kind of pain.

 

[Nickle]

Hey Dodgers fans, don't give up hope- Rosenthal is going to be pitching.

 

[NomarTyme]

HOW MANY ANGLES DO YOU HAVE FOR THIS HOME RUN!?

FUCK YOU MATT STAIRS.

oh god I thought I already forgot about this.

 

[methodman]

Peyton... I mean clayton is a choker. Period. Zito is a better playoff pitcher

 

[RumblingRosco]

Hey Dodgers fans, don't give up hope- Rosenthal is going to be pitching.

Yeah you guys are still in this. Good luck to you all over the last few upcoming innings.

 

[zroid]

Peyton... I mean clayton is a choker. Period. Zito is a better playoff pitcher

They made him throw over 100 pitches on short rest. It's hardly his fault. If the Dodgers bullpen were more reliable he'd have been out after the 6th.

 

[ratcliffja]

We have 2 innings to score at least 1 run more than our bullpen allows in 3. That's... not easy.

 

[Amory]

Any time these 3 want to stop fellating the cardinals would be great

Clayton Manning 2: The Chokening

Totally the same :jnc

Guy pitching on no rest who's carried the pitching all year. Who has no bullpen, his overpaid team is barely hitting for him(gee, i wonder why boston wanted to trade half of these bums).

versus

a guy who is given the best teams in the nfl, has the highest scoring teams in nfl history and gets blown out in a super bowl?

fuck outta here with that comparison.

 

[Kintaco]

Clayton really is the Peyton of baseball, both crushed my soul.

 

[Maddocks]

yup. giving blame to colleti on this one. Kersh did all he could, he was forced to stay in because the pen would have done worse and caused more damage.

Seriously. You can't blame Kershaw for this. Anyway, great job by Baez getting out of that without any more damage. Sigh... if only he'd started the 7th.

 

[Jack Remington]

We should be two innings away from winning this series, and instead we are two innings away from losing this series.

 

[eznark]

Bat flips and 7th inning curtain calls. Molina gonna order the pitcher drill someone here.

 

[ratcliffja]

Ryu actually had the lead when he left yesterday. Our bullpen has lost us 2 games in the series already and will likely cause us to lose this as well (though that's more because we kept Kershaw in due to fear of another bullpen meltdown).

 

[Amory]

Take some damn pitches for once

 

[Jack Remington]

I hate Neshek's delivery so much. Why does he still have a functioning arm?

 

[ratcliffja]

At least pretend to try. This is embarrassing.

 

[BFIB]

Again, Rosie in the ninth. Don't worry Doyers, he'll give you every chance.

 

[ratcliffja]

Against Juan Uribe, AJ Ellis, and Scott Van Slyke. Congratulations on advancing.

Short rest my ass. He had a month off. His arm was fine. Our bullpen sucks. Ned and Rick f'd us up

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Going gentle into that good night.

Mabey Puig will pinch hit.

He was talking about Kersh.

 

[JDeluis]

I can't believe they're going to lose the series without ever using Turner.

 

[sf2fanatic]

He was talking about Kersh.

That's who I'm talking about too. Koufax pitched on 2 days rest and dominated

 

[Doomsayer]

I can't believe they're going to lose the series without ever using Turner.

So much this.

Even though Uribe came through with a RBI he has been straight cheeks all series.

Gordon has been trash as well. Turner was batting over .330, if I'm not mistaken. Such a waste.

 

[Amory]

Do Cards fans even realize how fucking spoiled they are? Moments like that home run last inning seem to happen once a game for them. It's unreal.

Go Royals I guess. Least the colors are the same

 

[KidA Seven]

Yeah I can't blame Kershaw for this game. 3 runs in 7 innings with only 3 days rest is good. This bum offense needs to do more.

 

[BFIB]

I can't believe they're going to lose the series without ever using Turner.

I would have started Puig and sat Uribe.

 

[Branduil]

They get so much more than they deserve it's ridiculous. Especially considering so many of their fans are racist losers.

 

[ratcliffja]

Mabey Puig will pinch hit.

100% no chance. He was benched for his hitting, not his fielding, especially his striking out in big situations. There's no way he'd be put in here, even with Mattingly as dumb as he is. It's Turner or Van Slyke, and he used SVS yesterday because he thought he had a better chance of hitting a home run. Dee has hardly hit at all and there's little chance that Juan or AJ will get on, so they'll likely go for the chance of the home run to tie it.

 

[BFIB]

Oh come on. It's a great fan base that just like any other fan base, has some less than savory fans.

Sounds like sour grapes to me, and I'm respectful of all fans and their teams.

 

[Maddocks]

That's who I'm talking about too. Koufax pitched on 2 days rest and dominated

the same sandy that retired at 30 because his arm was done?

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

He will stay in for the 7th and in the 8th Mattingly will bring out Zombie-Billingsly and we lose 3-2.

8th should probably be a combo of Wilson/League/Howell and let Jansen come on in the 9th.

you are indeed a Doomsayer.
you know what you guys need right? sell your souls and allow the Yankees to dominate again.

 

[Amory]

Dude I don't even care if he struck out 400 times in a row we better see Puig pinch hit next inning. He can put one out.

I think you have to take a chance with Puig.

It's all or nothing. Donnie is gone anyway, shit, he may as well use Brandon League to pinch hit at this point.
