2012 Dodgers Thread

Ramirez was strong in his debut for Blue, going 2-4 with a triple and an RBI single. Honestly, the triple could have easily been an inside the park homer but he got out of the batters box slow after ripping the ball into right center. Ramirez also drew a walk in the ninth to set up the go ahead run, but the Dodgers bats stranded him on base. Not very many hits for either side last night, and Blue's bullpen failed late again as the Dodgers lost 3-2 in the 12th on a Furcal RBI single....

The story of the night was Aaron Harang, who went 7 1/3 innings allowing just two hits, and striking out 8. That and the news that the Dodgers definitely aren't done in the trade market. Rumored to be looking to add another bat with their target being the Phillies Hunter Pence, as well as a starter with targets including the Cubs Ryan Dempster or Matt Garza, as well as the Brewers Zack Greinke, and they may inquire about the availability of the Phillies Cliff Lee after Hamels signed a six year deal yesterday. Either way another major move should definitely be coming to propel the Dodgers into the playoffs!

Matt Cain lol, that dude didn't stand a chance against our new line-up.

Way to be fuging clutch Hanley! Nothing like hearing the "Beat LA" chants getting sucked out of AT&T park after a game winning homer like that.

FUG THE GIANTS!!!

Not exactly thrilled with Beckett tbh but if Carl Crawford can get it together next year and Gonzo continues his stellar play he had with the Sox.....OMG. A lineup featuring Kemp, Either, Ramirez, Gonzo and a hopefully reborn Crawford is sooooo fuging sick for the future of this organization....

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
