    Mattingly read them the Riot Act on Friday. Looks like they're responding. But how long can these players keep it up?

    While you don't want to see anyone get hurt. It's good that they threw at Acuña. Can't let player walk all over you. While it was most likely intentional. Urena doesn't exactly have good control
    Welcome to real baseball in the National League
    no this happens a lot to the Yankees.
     Pitchers have no fear of repercussions in the AL.

    I'll bring up this topic in the baseball thread.

    He would suck as a manager, regardless.

    dude must be desperate for a job.

    no. he's the first Dodger manager to win 3 straight divisions. He could have stayed in L.A. But they were going in a more analytical direction. If Jose doesn't die. They're most likely in playoff contention if they keep all those players they gave away. They overpaid for guys like Chen and Straily. Bullpen has sucked. They made bad trades. He even said to Jeter if he didn't think he was what he wanted for this rebuild that he would understand.

    With you in this one. Was a big Donnie Baseball fan as a kid. He was a Yankee before the Yankees became insufferable.

    People on twitter blaming Mattingly for the bullpen shitting the bed again. If he leaves a pitcher a batter long he gets blamed. If he makes a pitching change when a pitcher is in trouble and the guy can't get the job done. He gets blamed the same.

    some fans. I mean this is a team before the season started was expected to lose over 100 games. But there are Yankee fans who are the same also even though they're expected to win 100 games

    I was at the game and there was nobody even warming up in the bullpen! I know they don’t give a damn in the National league, but seems like this guy needs to get his head in the damn game. Where has he been the past two games??

    We might be talking about different innings...but here it is. Guerrero started the inning as a new pitcher and they brought Conley in after the 2 run lead was blown. They had nobody warming up until the Bradley at bat I believe. 1 pitching change during the actual inning.

    yea that was Tuesday. He probably felt the matchup was good against Bradley. Kimbrel was left to blow the save and if not for the Marlins not swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. That inning would have continued.

    Unbelievable. Marlins bullpen blows another games in the 9th with a 4 run or more lead.

    as a fielder? no. as a hitter that's debatable. but I'll give the edge to Donnie. As I know he'll at least put the bat on the ball
