He really mismanaged a lot of situations. He cost the Dodgers a game

Cost himself a lot of money in free agency. Simply put, he choked!

Yeah but those at bats and the strategy probably play out differently if the team wasn’t down 5 runs.

If it was only a one or 2 run deficit, Dodgers probably bunt in some of those at bats to get one run home. Down 5, everyone is swinging away, playing for a big inning.

Yep, that's the Dodgers I remember when the 'stros were in the NL West with them.

That makes the victory even sweeter.

I'd take Yu in a heartbeat as an extra starter.


Don't worry, Jon the Moron Daniels will probably bring him back to Texas on a full market value contract.

I warned this board so many times about the Japanese Fade but was mocked. Maybe you should listen to your elders.

Most people knew Darvish wasn't going to get the job done.

Yeah, Darvish. Real dick move there choosing to have bad starts twice in the World Series.

Dodgers got cold at the worst possible time, simple as that. Wish they would have cooled off for the Cubs. Everything they did against the Cubs went right, timely hitting, timely HRs, everything. They didn't do anything right in Game 7. I think they left the population of LA stranded on base last night.

he really didn't. He wasn't the one giving up the homer to marwin Gonzalez in game 2, or yu not even being able to to 2 innings in game 3. Putting in morrow in game 5 was absolutely his fault. I'm not arguing against that. But he really didn't mismanage this series and people habe completely overreacted towards him if you ask me

my thoughts exactly.

Yuli was the devil reincarnated when he did the squinty eye gesture.

thats so offensive towards asians.

now we're gonna write a whole article on how much he sucks and cost us a world series thats not offensive at all. they need to blame their hitters for only scoring 1 run and stranding like 10 guys on base

I agree with everyone that said Roberts is to blame. Games like this the manager and his coaches dictate everything. Hats off to the Stros, they hit and pitched when it mattered and the Dodgers choked. When I see Puig taking pitches, licking his bat, and acting like he's better than everyone else, disdain is my only reaction.

That is what journalism is these days. Garbage. you see it in the political arena. They trashed Yuli for some childish act yet blame Darvish for ruining their season. Ignored how their bats dried up. Was Yu supposed to drive in runs too? Screw you, Dodgers. I'm bathing in your tears. How did you like that series, LaSorda, you POS.

Even as bad a Darvish was in game 7, the Dodgers still only scored one run. He could have pitched very well last night and still lost. LA got men on base. They just couldn't bring them in. Bellinger looked like he didn't belong on an MLB roster. Instead, he looked like the big guy in softball that takes monster swings for the fence every time he comes to the play.

Darvish was bad, but McCullers wasn't great. The Dodgers just couldn't take advantage of any of their chances. As Smotlz said often. Even just making contact with runners in scoring position could have changed things for LA. Striking out was fatal and no one has ever done it more than Bellinger. It's tough to hang so much fault on a rookie. But when he's your clean-up hitter he HAS to deliver.
