    That deadline trade was a travesty.

    It's just so hard to believe how bad the staff is after CK, Greinke and Jansen.
    Incredible this is what we have with this payroll and the geniuses in the FO.
    Fucking disgraceful.

    Dodgers have 2 runs right now and all everybody wants to talk about is the trade for pitching.

    Carl Crawford was the only starter to have a hit against the Nats the other night. Enough said.

    You're joking right.....it's 9 to 2....almost all given up by the players we got in that trade. What else is there to talk about?

    How about this exercise. What is Avilan, Latos, Woods and Johnson's combined ERA simce coming to the Dodgers?

    Charley and Monday ripping Puig for tagging and scoring. I say fuck it since we are down by 7 and the bottom of the lineup is batting.

    You're missing the problem....those guys combined ERAs since joining is a little below 7. We'd have to score 8+ runs a game to have a chance when they afe pitching.

    2 runs isnt alot, but they are wins with Kershaw, Grienke, or hmmmmm Cueto or Price.

    Johnson in. Donnie has literally thrown in the towel.

    The comical is about to turn surreal.

    The pitchers we have acquired have sucked no doubt, but the Dodgers couldn't acquire Price or Cueto without giving up Seager or Urias. If you were willing to do that, fine, but I mean the team wasn't willing to do that last year for 1.5 years of Price so unless you were clamoring even last year for Urias for Price, then idk. I get it's frustrating we couldn't get those two guys and that the "Plan B" has been shit lately, but the farm system still isn't at a point where they could have gotten guys like that without sacrificing a really really good player

    The point is there's more than one problem. Here's yet another game with 3 runs on the board for the 3rd time in the last 4 games. Even if 3 runs is enough to win with Kershaw and Greinke on the mound...score more than 3 runs. Losing tonight is no surprise...again, Crawford was the only starter with a hit yesterday. They're not putting it together.

    They're averaging like 4.8 runs per game in their last 14 games. They've been scoring plenty lately, the pitching has been AWFUL outside of CK, Greinke, and Kenley

    It doesnt matter if you score 7 runs a game if you cant get anyone out. Pitching wins games.

    Those last two games you memtioned? Wins with Greinke and Kershaw.

    Today, won't even get you halfway there.

    Sucks that the hated ones are winning tonight, but I personally think it's hilarious how the Nats aren't good.
