    When Lux and Smith come up later this year, the defense needs to settle in.

    Lux 2B
    Bellinger RF
    Muncy 1B (No 2B unless in a pinch)
    Turner 3B
    Seager SS
    Pollock/Joc LF (No 1B for Joc. No CF for Pollock. No exceptions.)
    Verdugo CF
    Smith C

    Floro gave up the running scoring seeing eye single to Segura.

    i guess nothing less than perfection will do
    we need some better arms no question but the tone was set by caleb
    and floro gave up the ground ball single (no shift) so he came into a bad situation
    pitcher is going to throw different w inherited runners in a tight game
    you saw a ball that might have gone out from harper and i saw a fly ball single
    the guy is paid as one of the best and he did his job
    the slap ball to right was basically a defensive swing on a good pitch and hats off to him
    its a war of attrition when it comes to bullpens anyway
    name one team thats satisfied w their bp at this time
    Kelly would have a spot on any team no question
    i'm not defending him and truly dislike his history w us
    and bombko had great stuff?
    i don't remember cause it seemed to be going over the wall most of the time
    but you're right that barring injury jansen is likely going to be closer all the way for no apparent reason other than his ego and davey not wanting to upset him
    i'm thinking for us to have any chance Joe needs to be there in high leverage situations
    not always going to be perfect but imo he didn't fuck that game up

    I like this. Might prefer Bellinger in CF but idk. Also hope they start giving Lux some reps at 2B in the minors starting in like mid-August

    Also, we’ve constantly seen our rookies flail out by October so it’ll be interesting how Verdugo handles a full season and if Pollock is doing better than him by then. Verdugos hit skills would be amazing in the playoffs but we’ve been burnt by these rookies before...

    Actually, it matters not what or who we think the culprit is...or are. The Dodgers and I guess any team for that fact, will find a stupid way to lose multiple times. I forgot about the hit against Floro...it's such a shit show sometimes.
    However, an RP, like him or hate him, is paid to get guys out and strand the guys the other duflus put on base.
    That is what they're paid for, and anything else comes up short of what purpose they are paid for. If all those guys score, and then that RP goes on to allow even more, imo, than that RP failed. No matter who he is pitching to. Or what his salary is.
    We'll find some more ways to blow a game or two or five, but the golden parachute of a big lead lends a gentler view of it all...but I wonder if it were Jansen or Baez and we were in a dogfight for first place, how it would all be scrutinized then.
    I'm pretty sure I know.
    Different animal.
    And yeah, Tomko had good stuff, but couldn't command it most times.
    Sorta like Joe Kelly...not as good as Kelly, but then, he didn't get paid to pitch one inning.

    yes absolutely it would be scrutinized differently
    and the big lead gives us the chance to get things in order
    if only Toomgis cared more about the team than his ego

    Ah, I must’ve missed it before but apparently Lux HAS played some 2B. He’s starting at 2B today

    He'll be back at SS next year when Seager is relegated to DH (fibromyalgia, torn vag).

    Lol sitting Kenley down as if...A) a 4 run lead is too large for him...and B) Sadler won't load the bases and Kenley comes in anyways.
