Good to see the team is playing better despite the concerning signs from Jansen and Kershaw (decreased velocity). Rich Hill also hasn't performed very well in the early going. Hope it has to do with the cracked nail? The 14 inning game I went to in Frisco he had issues locating his pitches. He grooved a few of them to the wrong people. For Jansen to start and Kershaw to continue to succeed they will need even better control than they needed previously unless the velocity returns. When a pitchers velocity drops (as it does for all pitchers) they need better control? Holy obvious statement Batman!!!!! Why I didn't feel the need to explain that previously. They can't get away with what they did at the higher velocity. Anyways tonight will be a good test for this years Kershaw. Hopefully he passes it (seriously I want him to). |

The guy over blows everything anyone he doesn't like says. Did this last season also during spring training and made a fool out of himself and still won't admit he is wrong. He has never been wrong according to him. The athlete said word for word what I said I feared and things played out just as I said I feared they would but he is still perfect just like the lord. Who said I don't like you? And once again the WBC did not cause Agon's injury last year, that is proven. You really want to go there again? You were dead wrong then, and dead wrong now. Are you finished with your panic attack about the season? It's still mid April. Once again my claim that lead to you following me around the board had nothing to do with predicting a back injury. Agon said in April phrase for phrase exactly what I had said. If seeing cause for concern in certain key places Kershaw and Jansen is panicking then I panicked. If you remember correctly my statement concerned your W.S. prediction and not a division title. |

A positive that I do not remember seeing before since he joined the team is Grandal hitting from the right side. Wish he could have shown up and hit that well against lefties before his contract year. I know many here assume the team will let him walk but I hope he returns. Barnes is around for a while and hits RH. Grandal is a switch hitter so they can just continue there somewhat platoon. Based off this year he may not get as much as some people may think he will in free agency.

He seems like a different hitter from the right side. |

_____
No he didn't. Not even close.
You are gonna bring another losing argument to this board now?
He NEVER ONCE said the WBC caused the injury. Nothing more to talk about. You were wrong.
... as usual.

Doesn't make an ounce of sense considering the start he is off to.
What do you base that statement on? Your predicted decline?

He had the injury before the WBC which is when I made my statement. I said I do not feel he has any business playing in the WBC because I fear he is rushing back prematurely before the tendonitis is truly healed. I fear this will cause the tendonitis to still be an issue to start the season causing him to alter his swing negatively impacting his performance. AGon backed all that up and used the same word Rush that you had a great time with. |

Things got even worse in the 6th, as three singles in the inning led to another run. Two of those singles came with two outs, including the one from Taylor that made it 4-0. After a 1-2-3 inning in the 7th, Kershaw’s night ended at just 85 pitches, and he struck out four and walked none in his seven innings, but gave up nine hits and four runs. Hard to live at 90-91 mph if the breaking pitches are up all game long. dodgersdigest.com/2018/04/20/nationals-5-dodgers-2-the-battle-for-500-is-won-by-the-nats/------------------------------------------------------------------------- The margin for error is smaller the more someone's fastball velocity drops. Harder to ride with a 90 mph fastball on a night your off speed stuff isn't working. Something the front office will have to consider in the off season before giving Kershaw an even larger contract extension. Are you paying for Kershaw's past regular season legacy or what you will get moving forward? |

I would think the Dodgers would pay for both.

Yes he did say what I claimed he said. You had the thread erased. No the WBC did not cause the injury neither he nor I said it did because the injury existed before the WBC. Which is when I made my statement. |

So you agree with me on what I stated then. So is Kershaw worth more than the 30 plus million dollars he is worth now with the reduced stuff? Since you agree with me and what I have said is obvious then why don't you address Bulldog instead of me on his take his velocity drop means nothing? I know why. You don't want to get on his wrong side. I do not share the fear you have. He can't hurt you through the computer. |

And I laugh at you saying I’m “afraid” when you are the whiny coward that is scared shitless to come out and say you don’t like the front office. Sack up and admit it for once. |

92.5 seems high, as I made a point of noticing Kersh's mph last night, noticed 90 a lot on FB per Gameday live as I follow the games on GD and TV. So I just went through the Gameday all plays (below) for Kersh by AB and pitch, and he hit 92 or over maybe 2-3 times, he hit 89 maybe 2-3 times, the vast majority of FB were 90-91. Fwiw. www.mlb.com/gameday/nationals-vs-dodgers/2018/04/20/529705#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=play-by-play,game=529705 |
