Either way the offense has excelled at failing tonight

Funny how things work out ... if Sosh double walked hitters to load the bases and he scored on a walk or pass ball  fans would roast him like a pig. Lol

lol the move was dumb, it worked out this time but no way is that a winning play in the long run..Pujols is a worse hitter than Marte, can't run/beat out anything in the infield, and you lose the leeway of two potential BB's/bases.

Noe would love a Dp here

I've now heard three different LOB totals in this thread.

Yeah, not sure of the correct numbers. It's a lot though.

[GrittyVeterans]

The lack of options in the pen is an unmitigated disaster. I can't even blame Sosh right now, which feels weird for me

[Jason]

Nope it’s about to be over

[Blarg]

Oh, Noe!

[Jason]

F*****g weak ass hitters 

[Ohtaniland]

Nice work in left field there Upton

[Lou]

Quit complaining. Like you guys have anything better to do. 

[Taylor]

[fan_since79]

And there it is...

[GrittyVeterans]

I think Juan Rivera is a really good comparison for Justin Upton in all aspects. 

[Inside Pitch]

The bed has been shat!

[bloodbrother]

There it is. Can't blame the pen for this though. 3rd inning for Noe is asking for trouble and the bats had so many chances the last 3-4 innings and have failed every single time

[eligrba4ever]

AAAARGHH!!!

[DEVLBAT]

WTF WAS THAT UPTON? Christ on the cross.

 "I strenuously object?" Is that how it works? Hm? "Objection." "Overruled." "Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object." "Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider."

Well they pitched five innings of no runs, prior to this inning.   Can’t expect much more.  

[IheartLA]

Upton is so bad in LF!

I'm not placing any blame on Noe, dude worked 2 great innings. Asking him to do 3 is pure desperation by Scioscia due to having RP's unavailable b/c of overuse due to our starters going at most 5-6 innings every night.

[Kook]

Walking the bases loaded also makes us bat with shitty hitters in the bottom half. This game is over now with that 1 run

[Docwaukee]

tease o'rama.  

get ready for an entire season of blue balls.  

[BackUpTheTruck]

We need to intentionally walk somebody now to set up the DP.  I don't think we would come back from 6-3.

[Waybackman]

There’s your game

[Lou]

You guys were just saying that you wanted the game to end . . .
