    just never knew how badly guys would grip getting the last three
    these guys act like closing a game is rocket science

    At some point the nerds have to fire Dave, right?
    With Utley as player/manager Machado, Kemp, and Muncy will start hitting again or get replaced by a Verdugo. Machado is not getting replaced but you know what I mean. Matt Kemp is a nice story but if he doesn't turn it around soon Verdugo should replace him in the lineup. Joc is shitting the bed again too with his inconsistent play.
    Bellinger, Dozier, Turner, and Puig are all hitting well which is a nice building block to start with.

    2B: Dozier
    3B: Turner
    SS: Machado
    CF: Bellinger
    1B: Donaldson
    LF: Muncy
    RF: Puig
    C : Grandal

    But if they do shake things up they should also make a deal to bring in Josh Donaldson somehow and put him in at 1B and move Muncy to LF.

    Unbelievable they wasted that effort by Kershaw.

    Unbelievable they managed only a solo HR and a bloop double by their pitcher for a run.

    Very believable that greatly undermanned pen blew another game (thanks, FO).

    Sports really do prepare you for life by leaving you disappointed so often.

    Seriously though, I can’t believe we’re only 1 game back for the division lead lol. We’ve gone through like 3-4 awful stretches that should’ve buried us.

    Looks like Axford is out 2-3 weeks and Dozier has a pretty bad health scare as well. Really really need Machado to step up as well as Stripling/Maeda.

    Well guys as long as the fat bitch hasn’t sung and AZ lost everything is good stay positive putas. It’s coming. So not all is doom and gloom. But I understand the frustration but the help in the pen will have to be Maeda / Stripling at this point. I just don’t see anyone out there that will help. We must have somebody in our minors with some crazy ass delivery / funky move style hitch. As inconsistent this pen has been Roberts may have to consider micromanaging matchups and not expect all three outs.

    Urias Stripling and Maeda could always be used after the starters as long relief options as a consistent basis isnstead of dipping into the inconsistency of the the relief core.

    Last night after Kershaw you should have followed up with Stripling / Maeda / Urias. Once we are able to.

    Tonight Wood if he is done by the 6th follow up again with the 3 named above and use your pen guys for situation outs when the 2nd group of starters falters. Really if the 2nd group falters most likely the games is already out of hand.

    It’s not the baseball norm but that’s all we got at this point and fuck it. The Dodgers have a great history to do thing 1st. Let’s do it.
