    Do you see how the umpiring at it's present level is tearing up the game ?
    It's so bad. and if allowed to continue unabated , ABs will have little meaning.
    It's a goddam cryin' shame.

    This time, Jansen deserves a save. That was really exceptional.

    Bunting, safety squeeze, squeeze, good base running, doing a fucking job and hitting the ball right side to move a runner!! Say What?

    THAT is baseball.

    better get that bunt defense dialed bitches.

    The soft underbelly of the mighty shift being exposed bit by bit...of course, it may have been a " you did it to us, so we'll do it to you" type thing, you never know in today's game. But I sure hope not. Bunts work. They !ake things happen.. .now I'ii wait for the stats from someone who says no. They don't.

    The bunts were perfect.

    Taylor needed to get something going and Barnes is the perfect bunting candidate in today's game.

    Loved how Gonsolin survived the first inning jam and pretty much shut them down the next 4 innings.

    Alexander's hiccup aside, another gem from the pen. Kenley seems to be getting better with every appearance. Glad he was facing the bottom of the Pads' order, though.

    Kenley looked good, although the Padres were eagerly swinging at everything so he was able to live outside the zone. Why they were swinging at everything down by 6, I’m not sure, but still props for taking advantage.

    To be fair, he was facing the bottom of the order, but I think I'm seeing better movement on his cutter than I've seen in a long time.

    This is my favorite lineup. I would flip Joc and CT3, and of course everyone would rather see Will Smith in there (was there news on him?). But overall, I like it.

    Bunts are for losers.
    And bums.
    The old dodgers way.
    Analytically they don't make sense.
    But in reality they are like praying.
    And God works in mysterious ways.
    That why the analytics only tell you half the story.
    And every thief believes in God.
    You gotta have a lot of faith before breaking and entering.
    And say a little prayer when you hear the sound of the siren call.
    When the dodgers are robbers the fans pray and when fans pray miracles happen.
    Look at yourself in the mirror and check your body language and your emotional response (tik tok was) and you will see that you are praying with every inch of your being when a player lays a bunt down and the ball is on its way to third and the runner to second and the batter on his way to first.
    We all on the edge of our seat.
    One step from falling to our knees.
    Dodgers baseball is about putting the fans at the edge of our seats and making us feel like they about to steal the game and the series by dexterity not strength.
    And definitely not cheating.
    But stealing every base that belong to us.

    Weird that Austin Barnes is batting 4th and 9th but it’s good to see Corey back
