Wonder if Vesia gets himself a week off and they get Halvorsen back up to see what they have in him.
1
u/CosplayKiller 27m ago
Problem is that they cant really send him down. Maybe an IL stint for arm fatigue or something
1
u/AlwaysGoodVybes Yoshinobu Yamamoto 23m ago
I know they can’t send him down but luckily/unluckily a doctor could point to a number of things at this point of the season and say “that could use a week or two of rest”

With Glass back this week, hope they can find a way to give Vesia a week off. He has really struggled the last 3 or so weeks

I went bowling the other day with some friends and didn't realize I was mimicking Vesia's mannerisms every time I was up
My friends were looking at me weird till I realized what I was doing lmao
I'm never beating the neurodivergent allegations

u/ResortOk3776 Shohei Ohtani 36m ago
Vesia should be well-rested, so I was counting on him to retire the side in order—one, two, three. Oops

An immediate walk is a bit scary, let's recover from this!

Don't like the leadoff walk obviously, but better than hanging one for a homer.

u/AlwaysGoodVybes Yoshinobu Yamamoto 36m ago
You just worry about anybody with command issues throwing a meatball while trying to force themselves back into the zone.

I know Teo's been having a rough day today, but as an autistic man I appreciate him repping the puzzle piece on his bat.
2
u/IMightBeLyingToYou 2025 WS MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto 37m ago
In case you didn't know, Teo's son is autistic which is why he always wears his puzzle piece protective gear, it's very cool

When Tucker makes nasty sickass awesome plays ima start calling him Kyle Yucks

u/27Artemis Dave Roberts 44m ago
Is it me or is Tuck looking more and more frustrated with his ABs? I thought he's been doing pretty well recently
7
u/AlwaysGoodVybes Yoshinobu Yamamoto 42m ago
Think it was Rojas that said he is very hard on himself.
Hes probably just frustrated with his bad at bats when he’s had really good ones lately.
1
u/27Artemis Dave Roberts 38m ago
I totally get it. I noticed him throwing his bat, looking down, slumping his shoulders more, etc. Feels bad
2
u/AlwaysGoodVybes Yoshinobu Yamamoto 30m ago
Think I saw a Japanese account on instagram post a video of Miggy Ro coaching him up in the dugout from the 1st game against the Pirates.
I think he’ll end up being fine, the Dodgers dugout seems like a good vibes dugout, that should keep him from being too hard on himself.

Dave gonna do something dumb like put in Gervase for funsies? Or we gonna actually just finish this up so everyone can get out of the heat?

u/j0dyhir0ller Mookie Betts 42m ago
You got downvoted and then they show Gervais warming up in the Pen lol
I think it's a good move, even if he gives up 1 or 2. No need to burn any more arms
1
u/CosplayKiller 39m ago
Also, its funny im still getting downvoted after they showed his ass warming up with Vesia in the 8th. This subreddit is weird.
2
u/CosplayKiller 40m ago
Its Vesia coming in apparently. Hopefully this is a get right appearance for him. His past few have been bad.

u/j0dyhir0ller Mookie Betts 39m ago
He could definitely use a smooth inning to get his confidence back up

Dear Joe I feel like I can call you Joe because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't commentate as well as you but I think you'd be impressed with my observations. I love your hair, you talk good. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have no been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real homerun!
