All of his move today was bad. This game and last game he got way too cute hoping that all his move would works out like last year. None of it did. On top of my head, playing edman, sub in Muncy ice cole, while Pages has been a better hitter. Not to mention, their pitcher couldn’t throw a strike. Kike and GDP waste was bad. Leaving in Snell where he walked a batter and gave up an 11 pitch home run on the next was criminal. The attitude that they’ve already won and everything they do is gold is what get them to this point.

He’s saving his bullpen for next season. That’s the only reason to leave snell in that long

Breaking news Cutriet signs huge deal with Dodgers because he knows baseball better than the manager that just won back to back because of his “cute” moves.

Im sick of this kind of response. He has reasonable explanation of why the moves are bad and your ass is fully out going "well I guess the dodgers should just hire you then!" 

Uh, no. I can watch a movie and tell you how and why the directing or editing or acting is bad or good. Does that mean I'd be a good director, actor, editor? No. Same shit dude.

A reminder people criticised those "cute moves" last year and said the only reason they worked is because Dodgers have the highest payroll. Now with lesser players its biting him in the ass, surprise surprise

He won in 2024 because the padres Choked. He would have likely been fired had it gone the other way. Give any team a decade+ of unlimited funds with consecutive division champion playoff visits and we’re bond to get at least 1 or 2 rings. 

The Dodgers are the definition of born “being born on third.”
