    When he inherited leads, blew them, and got the decision after the Dodgers scored.

    I hope the " other way" does work, but I don't believe AF decided to "try" it like that. Rather, the Pirates and whoever else they were talking to told them to fuck off.
    Couldn't/wouldn't make the deal, plain and simple. And still the same problems now for years.

    the fact they acquired both negron and gyorko makes me believe there’s concern over taylor/freese/kiké returning and/or being effective/productive

    Yup. Especially cause those guys go through bad slumps even when fully healthy. Also helps protect in the even that Verdugo goes into a slump and they need to bench him against lefties

    Hoping Verdugo got his stroke (no homo) back in Colorado yesterday.

    Lux just keeps hitting .451/.534/.867 in 133 PAs at OKC, still an incredibly small sample of course.

    Looking forward to seeing him play tomorrow night.

    Ok, so I just got back from the game......and first let me say that new park is beautiful. If you're gonna be in town during baseball season, I highly recommend staying at Red Rock and you'll be right across the street from the stadium.

    Now to the game..........

    Lux had a few good ABs, worked a walk, grounded into a forceout (would've been a DP, but he beat it), struck out (but a quality AB) and lined out. Unfortunately, he was the DH, so I can't offer any firsthand insight into defensive ability.

    DJ Peters is the other guy I wanted to mention, very impressed with how far his game has come, took a walk and roped a double to center that drove in 2. He was adequate in CF, but I can see why everyone says he profiles better as a corner.

    Ferguson was a mess, I don't even know where to begin with that guy.

    Not really related, but I wanted to mention it, Zach Reks took a scary crash into the LF wall, stayed in the game though, hopefully he is ok.

    Too bad you didn't also get a chance to see either Rios or Ruiz.

    Turns out Ruiz broke a finger, done for the year, and I guess they were just giving Rios a night off.

    Thanks for the update. I am really starting to think that the rise of Peters likely means we won't see Pollock back in LA next year. Best to get out of that contract ASAP.

    Why doesn't it feel any different? Oh. Yeah. Kershaw.

    All aboard the Peters wagon, ok, but the update I'm waiting for is Toles. Where is this guy? Still dealing with his anxiety stuff? His raw athleticism might have been a solid defensive play in CF..better play than Verdugo. Decent arm too. Damn shame Cody is still the best CF in the org, especially given his weaker offensive splits @ the position. Toles might have been a solid guy to sacrifice to the CF gods most days. Might have forced Joc outta here. 2 dead seasons in a row for Toles..his career may be RIP

    funny how negron, gyorko and beaty perfectly replace taylor, kike, and freese.
    both groups are about equal

    Just my luck, tonight Lux is 3/4 with 2 doubles and playing 2nd base. Would've liked to get a look at him playing the field, especially 2B because we could see him up playing there in sept or in 2020.

    Once Lux gets 150-200 AB's in AAA he should be playing 2B for the Dodgers
    He's the best player in the organization to play 2B

    43-game on base streak for Lux. That is all.

    Barnes hit a home run in 5 straight games. Strongest evidence yet that the ball is ridiculously juiced
