Shoemaker on the DL, Parker Bridwell takes his start Tuesday 50-50. Nolasco on Wed. 1 loss. Chavez goes on Thur. 50-50, making 2 losses.

On to Boston. Meyer on Friday evens road trip at 2-2. Saturday Ramirez 50-50. Sunday Bridwell again 50-50. hopefully we are at least 3-3 before going to LA. We will be lucky to go 5-5 over the next 10 games. I will be hoping to do much better though.

Reverse Cy Bridwell

I don't think we have much of a chance when you consider we have to beat Pinada on Tuesday, Sale in Boston, and we will probably get Wood, Hill, McCarthy and Kershaw in the Dodger series.  At best it appears that we may only have a chance to beat one or at most two of those 6.  This is where the starting pitching may kill us.  I'm hoping for 5-5, but 2-8 or 3-7 seem the most realistic.

but what if we don't

Dodgers' starting pitchers have the best ERA in baseball since April 25th, 3.45

They're all good, but Kershaw did get hammered last night. They still won though.

It will get ugly around here.

 

 

[Stradling]

We can go 10-0 and there will still be people on here that want us to sell at the deadline.  We can go 0-10 and we will still have at least one person here that wants us to buy for this year at the deadline.  For me it is 5-7 games out of the wild card.  If you get there then sell what you can if you can get actual talent.  If you are trading Yunel, Maybin or Parker and you are offered the equivalent of a future utility infielder or a future fourth outfielder, or possible swing man, then you just hold onto those players.  What is the point?  

[fan_since79]

Speaking of the wild card, there are five teams that are each one game behind. Angels are in that mix.

In the N.L. the nearest team to the second wild card is 8.5 games back.

I kinda hope Trout comes back tonight so we don't have to see Eric Young again.

 

Have mercy, he killed us last week.

We all wish he was coming back this soon, but he has a few more weeks.  I am looking forward to being at the game tomorrow night.

Worst position ever.

[Glen]

Anything over 3-7 and the team is overperforming, so I predict 4-6.

Cy Young holds the record for most wins from a pitcher. Guess who holds the record for the most losses? Cy Young.

12 games back of the Astros in June. If we can't even complete in our own division, what makes you think that we can complete for a championship.

Get rid of what got you here first because they won't get you where you want to go.

Do you really have faith in the majority of these guys in a high pressure situation on national TV with millions watching? We pretty much need a whole new core group of youthful players with a new manager with an edge.

Please spare me another one of those "we barely missed the playoffs but we have something to build on" bullshit stories.

If the team makes the playoffs ... the standings become irrelevant. Let's not forget we just beat the Astros at their own ballpark Troutless.

Ok I'll spare you those stories.  However missy, how many times has a wild card made it to the World Series?  Do I think they have the pieces, no.  Do I think the pieces they have to trade will bring us back future everyday players?  No.  So, if they don't get offers that bring back solid pieces for the future, then roll the dice.  You've literally got nothing to lose.  I understand you're Canadian which is basically French, so I fully expect you to want to surrender, it's what makes you you.

Remember how deep in the playoffs the Mariners went when they won 115 games.

this thread has been like the bat signal for you, hasn't it?

Like 2014. That's why I suggested a new manager. I just think moving forward the organization needs to head into a new direction. At some point the manager has to hold some accountability for not winning a playoff game since 2009. We've replaced the GM three times and addressed the coaches several times. 

We need a lot of new players and a new manager with a different approach because what you're seeing today is not a sustainable winning recipe. 

 

[fan_since79]

If we go 0-10, can we start up the "Fire Scioscia" threads again? Those are always fun.

i like how you're hanging everything today on this one peg on the coat rack from three years ago.

has the team been healthy lately? does the team have all the necessary parts/talent to win now? or has it been poor managing that has held back this team of superstars?
