does grant come in for the 8th? whoever it is, Dominguez will blow this game if he pitches in the 9th, no faith in that dude at all unless it's like the royals or twins

Not even against the royals. Hell not even the Rockies

Thanks…that guy and his approach to hitting was a perfect reflection of how broken this organization was. Good swing decisions and power are the keys to a good offense as we’re seeing now and yet Hahn and his cronies wanted a lot of contact and empty batting average. God were those ugly days…

The South side has stood up.

We also have the Pope behind us.

Taken out of context but yes. In fairnsss, he was the guy who was our hitting coach in 2020

The org's and his approach to hitting got screwed over by the change they made to the ball after 2020. Guys like Yoan and Eloy could flick their wrists and go oppo with the bouncy ball they had in 2019 and 2020. Once they got rid of that and stopped letting our pitchers use sticky stuff, we went from serious contenders to just a decent team.

That's just the 2nd homer that Taylor has given up all year.

Not a good pitch to betts

Now a save situation. Damn

Can't front door that slider twice to a good hitter like Betts.

All career

Uh oh. 3 runs up puts us in the Seranthony Zone.

Betts had done nothing all year

The bottom of the Dodgers' order is mostly lefties too.

Since Kannapolis A ball IIRC

Wouldn't mind a run or 2 lol

Would love to get that run back in the bottom half

Looks like Betts woke up this series. Good thing he's the NL pitchers problem now.

Chase is doing this with 2nd percentile bat speed. Just goes to show it's not always about how hard you swing (cough Quero cough)

Him and Antonacci are both tremendous at squaring up on the ball

Honestly, just use him in the 9th. Don't think his stuff is terrible

Quero was too last year. But he decided to let Driveline ruin him.

Definitely do not use Murphy in the 9th

can we get that run back please 🥺

Taylor's already at 30 pitches. I don't think you want to extend him much more than that. They might get cute and try to close this out with Murphy.

Edit: Dominguez is up throwing in the bullpen

I think he can still be fixed, but probably won’t happen fully until next season.
