Good hustle by Bryant

What's even worse is, it was the 1st pitch of that AB.

Haha yeah that’s what I meant by 1 pitch. That was brutal.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I think the Dodgers would liked to not allow 3 base runners to turn the lineup over so quickly but overall the strategy worked well.

Urias misses the big guys 1 time. And doesn’t have to bat once.

Not sure what Belli was waiting on there.
He swung at the 1st 2 (fouled both off) ....and then looKed at the better of the 3 pitches to hit.

Another interesting thing about the Dodger strategy is they basically become an American League team with a DH and a pitcher never has to hit. Pretty smart.

The problem with that strategy is Urias is not infallible. he can be hit. he's good but not unhittable

How does that effect the strategy?

He would be the same “infallible” if he started the game.

Actually, you further prove why it was a good strategy. He hittable guy, missed 1 round of the guys capable of hitting him.

Trea Turner 2 pitches. Another weak dribbler.

Dude can’t even have a quality out

I'm also watching Jeopardy out of the corner of my eye...while watching the game online...

But.....What is Dumbfounding the Dodgers for $2000, Mayim?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Dodgers simply trying to survive with both Turners looking like the Twins in October

Wow that ump fucked Bryant and potentially the inning bad. Just brutal.

 

[Montalban]

That one pitch to Bryant that was ball four way below the strike zone but was called a strike by the umpire could have changed the outcome of this entire game.

 

[Montalban]

Could have changed the entire game. Crawford would now be on third with no one out

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Move those clodhopper boots of yours, ump....sheeesh.

I think the smartest thing about this strategy is that the Dodgers never have to have a pitcher bat. Pretty smart

Urias will bat once. He’s not only going 2-3 innings.

But yeah, that’ll be it.

Did Monty get booted again from another game thread in the Giants forum?

Asking for no one else in particular.

 

[Montalban]

Tough luck for Bellinger this year. Shoulder surgery, broken leg and fractured ribs. Geez!

Taylor always scares me

The Dodgers getting Webb’s pitch count up at least
