When i was LL age there was a catcher that would hold the ball away in his bare hand a tagged with his glove. He Got away with it a couple of times but im pretty sure he was told that didn’t work.
If I read correctly it has to be securely in the glove and then any part of the glove counts. If in a bare hand, any part of that hand counts. Only hands/gloves count

oh good, vesia in to make a tough save. said no dodgers fan ever.
Blow through two trash relievers and the lead, then get Sasaki up.

this is the time of the year when normies are exposed to roberts’ button mashing bullpen decisions and it’s always entertaining
the numbers say pitch vesia here!
how does edman fuck that throw. praise freddie.
LOL the FBI (the old one) needs to investigate that shit. Looked like multiple Doyas tryna fix.
my dodgers fan groups were losing their mind at that. vesia (and the rest of this bullpen) are notorious choke jobs. only way you choke worse there is by putting in chokeshaw. chalk it up to a classic roberts “this was a terrible decision but it worked anyway” move to me.
glad to get 2 while away. i’ll be at the home game and hope the brewers dont blow our assholes out like i think they will
Using Treinen at all was inexcusable. Dude is unplayable.
there is a really evil but wholly sincere part of me that hopes the dodgers season ends in a ridiculously high leverage moment with kershaw blowing it in relief, which has literally never worked one time, but we’re sidelining guys like wrobleski because we wanna try it
its for his legacy after all
and he hates the gays so double fuck him. and likely tattled on kiké for the butthole inspector hat, so triple fuck him.
pinning your post season hopes on sasaki as a surprise closer with your deep starter bench coming in as relief sometimes (featuring kershaw!) just isnt gonna work against better teams with deeper pens in close 7 game series. I’m shocked it’s working so well so far, but sasaki in particular had a bad pitch tipping problem that probably didn’t just vanish after 6 months in the minors. putting a 23 year old as the sole closer in these spots is asking more of him realistically than you probably should. that’s not to say he can’t rise to the moment, but for now, just watching these decisions play out, i’m not very hopeful for a ws run unless other teams pitching falls apart and the dodgers bats get white hot.
that said i doubted the bullpen strategy last year and it somehow worked, so who am i to talk. if i still gambled i’d throw my net worth on the brewers
Don’t worry, Thompson outdid Roberts with that insane bunt decision
I try to avoid second-guessing managerial decisions (who am I to think I know more than they do, and there are often considerations we have no knowledge of, like nagging injuries or whatever), but in my most charitable mood, I can’t come up with a reason for Treinen or Scott to see the field again this year. They haven’t just had a bad month–both of them have been bottom of the league for more than half the season. Their time to recover has come and gone.
Sasaki has been good in relief, but it’s a small sample. Throwing him out there in the highest-leverage point of the game, rather than letting him start the 9th with clean bases, is a recipe for disaster.
wow jackson churro
in scott’s case, I can think of 72 million reasons - just pure sunk cost fallacy. theyve tried again and again and again and it just hasnt worked.
dodgers gonna get ripped apart by these brewers. i’ll root for them if it happens
Could’ve just stayed in Seattle for this game, great baseball weather here 
7 pm ET start in Detroit apparently.
I can’t pretend to be mad. I was going to be stuck on a plane for most of the game if it ended on schedule.
