Only gripe I would have is I felt he was pushing it by letting Max start the 8th. I know Max wanted to but you can't let him dictate these things.
He gives up a lot of fly balls, they were hitting some balls well. It's only a one-run game. You also would not ideally want Little to come in with runners on.
Bottom line is there must be some neurological test he keeps failing.
It's encouraging that he's taking part in baseball activities and that he feels normal but it's discouraging that he obviously keeps failing something.
Concussion recovery isn't always a straight line. You can feel fine but your brain still isn't where it should be, also symptoms can disappear and then suddenly return.
Here's hoping this passes soon
That's a good observation. Yeah I don't think anybody is sold yet. And honestly, it would take a lot for me to pick this guy over Schneider on the major league roster.
France is is such an odd fit. But the dude has sort of been raking since he's been here.
Maybe they figured something out. Maybe it's just animal spirits that will dissipate shortly.
It would be nice if he created a good problem.
If he's not playing several days after his IL stint has lapsed, especially after initially sending him to Buffalo with the expectation that he would play, it's because he's failing the protocols. That's not cautionary, that's concerning.
I know nothing, I have read no stories but I'm just going to assume that Ohtani's a piece of s*** and hope they find some way to cancel him from Major League baseball in a way that still somehow forces the Dodgers to be on the hook for his contract.
I don't know if any of that is possible but hopefully there's a way.
I have no concern about Schneider's bullpen management, I have more concern about bullpen personnel.
A lot of talent mixed with a lot of variability and we just have to hope that enough guys are on their game enough of the time.
I'll be interested to see how Yesavage factors into the mix.
People just got to understand this is a high variability bullpen. Big arms with great stuff but a lot of inconsistency built in. There's only so much a manager can do to navigate that game after game. There's only a certain amount of lights out guys in the league and we ain't got none of them.
