"I hear they are soon releasing the movie "Groundhog Day II" in which Bill Murray portrays a Dodgers relief pitcher named "Tanner Treinen." Every day he comes into a game in the seventh inning after the starter has pitched six innings of brilliant shutout ball and every day he gives up a combination of a bunch of walks with a couple timely hits to lose the game while his manager sits silently in the dugout with a blank look on his face. Don't miss it!"
"If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then Dave Roberts is clearly certifiable. His continued reliance on Blake Treinen in late-inning pressure situations is truly head-scratching."
"Talking to reporters about his bullpen, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, "Our starters can't go nine every night." Fact is, the Dodgers starters haven't gone nine innings any night. To date, they have ZERO complete games in 2025."
Bill Murray is humorously compared to a Dodgers relief pitcher named 'Tanner Treinen' who repeatedly enters in the seventh after six shutout innings and repeatedly surrenders walks and timely hits, costing games while the manager remains expressionless. The repeated use of Blake Treinen in late-inning pressure situations is described as head-scratching and likened to insanity. Roki Sasaki is suggested as a potential postseason MVP for the Dodgers after recent events. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters, 'Our starters can't go nine every night.' The Dodgers have registered zero complete games so far in 2025.
