I hate him.

[David Dennison 18,856]

Who didn't see that coming?

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Maton sucks

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

We're too solid a team to risk our fate on jokers like this. Swap him for a bucket of balls. 

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Dusty

I fucking hate him. I don’t freak out when Presley  blows a game. 
I don’t freak out when someone goes 0-20. But every time Maton comes in the game I get mad and pissed that that fucker is on the mound. He sucks. His stuff is fine but he’s a pussy. Or a head case. Or I don’t know. But I hate him. 
And yes, I recognize that he was fucking awesome last year in the playoffs. But other than that his entire career is him shitting the bed. Fuck that guy- trade him for a 35 and 40 prospect or a couple complex league guys and move the hell on.

Maton is just so terrible.

[David Dennison 18,856]

This is great.

[elfenix 34,238]

wonderful

[cabowabo 4,484]

Ridiculous.

[HtownHorn 14,681]

You got to love bringing in a guy with a 5.4 BB/9 with the bases loaded.

[D3zii 3,678]

Why???? Why do we make games so hard !????

We? You mean Dusty

[Guadaloopy 10,969]

So. Many. Balls.  

[David Dennison 18,856]

Guys, it's not Dusty throwing balls all over the joint.

Come on now.

[TonyTexas 10,511]

I wonder why he’s abandoned the fastball

I know y’all want to blame Dusty but is not him walking batters!!! 

[perfectchaos007 6,639]

Oh man I thought that was 2 RBI's off the bat. Good snag Pena

[mrhorn 1,383]

Peña!!

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Great play Pena!

[HtownHorn 14,681]

Stanek and Maton just aren't guys you bring into games after the 7th inning. You need guys that throw strikes and neither do it consistently. 

Fuck yeah, Pena with the defensive gem to save the game. Silence in the stadium. That's why he will be above average once he figures out the league and slows down the mind.

[runthebone 7,982]

Get a vasectomy, Pressly!

Stanek imo has actually been solid this season 

[cabowabo 4,484]

I'll take it.

[elfenix 34,238]

Thank fuck

[tx 3 putt 76,952]

damn glad that inning is over !!!

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Nice!

[mrhorn 1,383]

Fuck yes!

[Guadaloopy 10,969]

That’ll do.  At least Stanek has balls.  

[txduck87 985]

Always fun. Jesus I hate bullpen walks . 3 more outs .

5.4 BB/9. Way too many baserunners for late game situations. Which is why his FIP is the 2nd worst behind Maton among the relievers that are designated for high leverage situations.

He's been solid, but his scoreless inning streak doesn't tell the full story. He allows too many inherited runners to score.

Ya think?  The 26 inning scoreless streak clued me in.  

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Put up a five spot and put this thing away. 

[Humble Beast 258]

Dude what a pitch. Blew him away. 
 

when you can throw a fastball like that you wonder why you’d throw 7 straight splitters?

[Gut Wagon 8,065]

If you have a Maton in your bullpen, at some random point Baker will pitch him. And then pitch him again. And again. The best solution is to put him in someone else's bullpen.

When did this paternity leave bullshit become a thing in pro sports?

I’m sensing that you are not a fan of Maton . Just a hunch. I concur. Dude cannot be a part of playoff rotation.

Do the Dodgers have a slightly undervalued Cuban?

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Keep it boring, Hector. 

[txduck87 985]

Keep it boring, Hector. 

Lol

[Honeysucklerose 987]

Sigh

[runthebone 7,982]

That's what happens when you can only throw your meadoker fastball for strikes.

[tx 3 putt 76,952]

damn that was a great pitch for a the strike out 

[runthebone 7,982]

Fuck yo' couch...streak.

[elfenix 34,238]
