But who are the base coaches?

[The Chosen One]

But who are the base coaches?

Yes. Definitely need to know who's working those lines.

Wash has that covered

[nsacpi]

[GovClintonTyree]

Wash has that covered

Saw that one coming waaaaay down the road.

#MyAce better be on top of it tonight. These Dodgers are legit

[CyYoung31]

Looking forward to seeing Fried actually face a good lineup tonight.

Looking forward to seeing Fried actually face a good lineup tonight.

Good news is the Dodgers are about as good vs RHP as the Braves are vs LHP, so Fried has a better chance than Gausman did last night.

As long as his control remains intact and sequencing luck doesn't bite him big time, I expect him to perform well tonight.

Many have said that Acuna is "trying to do to much". Has hitting clean up gotten in his head? Would anyone consider flipping him and Donaldson in the line up?? Would that move clear his head?? No HRs since Apr 16th and no BBs since Apr 28th.

Anyone have insight into how he's being attacked of late?

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Camargo should be in the lineup for Donaldson.

He’s overrated and the league has figured him out.

[salmagundy]

He’s overrated and the league has figured him out.

If that's true, moving him out of clean up would help him and the team. Move him to 7th or 8th and let him struggle in the back end of the lineup. Or just cut him as you suggest nothing else except he's been figured out by MLB.

[CyYoung31]

Camargo should be in the lineup for Donaldson.

You have got to be kidding me.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

You have got to be kidding me.

Camargo almost got a double last night, all Donaldson did was offer the fans air conditioning.

why bother with small samples when a tiny one will do

is it my imagination or is the quantity of really dumb posts up this year

It must be your imagination, I wouldn't call 0 for his last 11 with 6 strikeouts a tiny sample size.

[thewupk]

It must be your imagination, I wouldn't call 0 for his last 10 with 5 strikeouts a tiny sample size.

But it is

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

But it is

Over half of the Abs are strikeouts, no matter how you look at it.
