@BlakeHHarris Roberts is a classy guy but if you take Ohtani, Freeman and Betts off this team, it's a mess. His player development has stalled hard the last 3-4 years. This is a poorly coached profession team. Inconsistent, underachieving, stagnant young players.
@BarryOnHere Jonas brings the exact versatility the Lakers need to matchup with Twolves and Nuggets. He'd probably ride the bench against the Celtics/Mavs of the league--Rui and Vanderbilt would get those mins. He's also a career 34% 3pt shooter, not amazing but better than Aaron Gordon.
@The_OtherWords If you take Ohtani, Freeman and Betts of this team its garbage. Just think about that for a second, Roberts has failed to develop our young talent the last 4 years.
@MLBNerds Ohtani - not overrated but he is overvalued. There's very little roster advantage to having a guy who can both hit and pitch. In fact, it's more of a risk, as you essentially lose two max players if there's a major injury.
@WatchMarquee@Cody_Bellinger Best Dodgers prospect in 13 years leaves the Dodgers clubhouse and wins comeback player of the year the following year.
What is happening in the Dodgers clubhouse that is suffocating players confidence?
@GonsolinRBW Adding more big hitting won't turn the needle for this team. Until the clubhouse confidence changes, it will be another 100 win team losing to a wild card team in the playoffs.
@DodgersNation The Rangers replaced their manager and won a ring the following year. Pay particular attention to Seager's comments about how confident the team was in Bruce Bochy and how he set the tone for their run.
@factchecking201@BLKAtticusFinch @MarkPriorRBW And if it's as obvious as you make it out here, and the manager of the team (who's job it is to prepare) couldn't use the season to prepare our pitching staff better, THATS ON HIM. THATS HIS JOB.
@factchecking201@BLKAtticusFinch @MarkPriorRBW A rookie that threw pretty well all year. A future hall of famer that should have been pitching to his favorite catcher (Barnes not Smith) and a injured pitcher that should have been pushed/demoted weeks before for a more viable option.
@factchecking201@BLKAtticusFinch @MarkPriorRBW When nearly the entire team underperforms to this degree, you look to the coach, preparation, culture, chemistry. All 3 starting pitchers failed to make it to the second inning (absolutely absurd!). Our ENTIRE lineup had an OPS below .600 against pitching they see all year.
@erod550@billplunkettocr The whole lineup had a .498 OPS. Literally all 3 starters didn’t make it past the second inning. If you blame one person in any sport for a team wide failure, you blame the coach.
