Wow, that first pitch strike to Beckham was a worse pitch than the one Hairston Jr. took for a ball

Ha, Billingsley is getting his money's worth on his pickoff move.

Some would, but our bullpen is in a bit of precarious state unfortunately...if Hector gets hit around we're completely f***ed

 

Getting a lefty into this game wouldn't be the worst thing with this Dodgers lineup

Here we go again. Everyone refill their alcoholic beverages.

Yes, I've seen plenty of managers that will pull their pitcher after allowing 8 hits in 3 innings (especially if they're one of the worst starters in baseball coming into the game).

 

Seriously? After getting out of it with "just" four runs in three innings?

Your starting pitcher?

I do think every manager in baseball would do the same thing, leave Horrible Humber in.

Four runs in three innings sucks, but it's not seven, eight runs. YOu have to let your starter go five as long as his pitch count is OK. Seriously, don't you agree? No manager hooks Humber this early "only" giving up four.

I do think he sucks, though.

 

 

When your options are Stewart, Ohman, Santiago or Hudson....and you don't want to completely destroy your bullpen, not knowing how long Quintana can keep pitching so well as a starter, there's just no good option.

 

Personally, I'd have gone with Santiago and pinch hit for Humber there, but it's not like a "sure thing" and Viciedo doesn't match-up very well with Billingsley the way he's been going for most of June. We don't have a strong bench, especially hitting wise.

 

 

Did everyone see that the Red Sox asked for Gerardo Parra for Youkillis?

Seriously? After getting out of it with "just" four runs in three innings?

Your starting pitcher?

 

Yes, absolutely. Even Hawk is saying how terrible Humber has been tonight. Let's just hope he can give up another two scoreless innings.

Has anybody noticed how loud the Dodger crowd is? I thought people were laid back in LA.

Loud crowd.

lol this is sooooooooooo sad

cant even get the freaking pitcher out

 

Another hit by the pitcher

Haha, this is pathetic.

Getting a lefty into this game wouldn't be the worst thing with this Dodgers lineup

 

Even with lefties hitting .341 against Hector?

Yes, absolutely. Even Hawk is saying how terrible Humber has been tonight. Let's just hope he can give up another two scoreless innings.

 

Hawk sounds pissed.

I'm thinking he knows Humber just doesn't have what it takes. He needs to go on the DL for a while.

I could probably hit Humber right now. "Da MANager" needs to act, NOW.

0-2 on the pitcher and he cant even get him out

Even with lefties hitting .341 against Hector?

 

Yeah, as a few of these Dodgers hitters struggle against lefties.

Seriously? After getting out of it with "just" four runs in three innings?

Your starting pitcher?

 

 

If it was 4-0 or 5-0, Humber definitely would be pulled.

 

In some ways, it's counter-intuitive, because you do have a lot better chance to win the game you're tied or within a run or so either way when you bring in a bullpen guy. The problem is that the quality of your last two or three guys in the pen shouldn't be better than your starter, but it is what it is.

 

 

Yet another hit given up by Humber. Just seems like he can never shut down the opponent after the Sox score, same with Floyd this season.

Dodgers are hacking away.

Give me a bat.

Dodgers are hacking away.

Give me a bat.

 

I think we all deserve a turn

At least Adam hasn't been an abject disaster in the field.

any1 else cringe on any ball that heads to Dunn's direction

What do you expect to happen, KW to resign in frustration since our pitching is in shambles?

 

I don't think KW deserves to still be the GM of this team based on the previous 6 years. Expressing concern over the current state of the rotation is altogether different.

Pull him now
