    Familia is one that really pissed me off. Can't tell me the Dodgers couldn't have offered more.

    The one in season pickup I have some hope for is Floro. Really like his stuff, but his command is so erratic. That slider he got Story with Friday night was straight filth.

    i like floro too and think he could/should be the bridge to kenley
    not encouraged by maeda’s loss of velo or alexander’s ability to go 3 ball counts on nearly every hitter

    Hasn’t been impressive in his rehab appearances, but team needed to recall him or else use their last option on him. The team now holds another option year in case he’s still not right next season.

    I need to take a mental picture of this post for future use.
    Elon Musk and Donald Trump are inspiring my racist misogynist ass into gear.

    I will need a terraformer to dig out the moat that separates the field from the castle type building I found.
    They have tractors at home depot for rent, I just need an experienced operator. I need to build a moat as well as a hill.

    What a shock MadBum being Mdbum. Kept trying to hit Braun yesterday and eventually did but a baseball fight ensued so he didn't get clocked unfortunately.

    DODGERS WEEKLY REVIEW
    WEEK 24: Riding the roller coaster ...to elimination
    By Eric Stephen | True Blue LA — 5 hours ago

    [​IMG]

    The Dodgers rode the rollercoaster last week, dropping a series at home to the lowly Mets, but then rebounded on the road to win a series against the division-leading Rockies. LA started the week in first place by a half-game and ended the week down a half-game in the division.

    BATTER OF THE WEEK
    Justin Turner used a stellar Sunday to pull out this award in a fairly contested battle. Turner homered, doubled twice and reached base five times in the series finale in Colorado, and had five extra-base hits during the week. Cody Bellinger was a tick behind, slugging .750 with a .474 on-base percentage in 19 plate appearances, and Chris Taylor shook off a recent slump with a 5-for-10 week with two doubles and a home run.

    PITCHER OF THE WEEK
    Clayton Kershaw struck out seven in the series opener at Coors Field, allowing a pair of runs in six innings. He beat out Alex Wood, who had a solid start on Monday to match up with Jacob deGrom, allowing a run in five innings against the Mets.

    WEEK 24 RESULTS
    3-3 record
    31 runs scored (5.17 per game)
    27 runs allowed (4.50 per game)
    .563 pythagorean record

    SEASON TO DATE
    78-65 record
    675 runs scored (4.72 per game)
    543 runs allowed (3.80 per game)
    .598 pythagorean record (86-57)

    MISCELLANY
    The 200 club: Turner’s home run was one of two hit by the Dodgers on Sunday, giving them 200 home runs on the season for the seventh time in franchise history. At 143 games, this is the earliest time the Dodgers have ever hit 200 home runs, beating out the 1953 team by three games. The Dodgers are on pace for 227 home runs, one year after setting a franchise mark with 221.

    TRANSACTIONS
    Friday: Ross Stripling was activated from the disabled list after missing over three weeks with a lower back inflammation. The Dodgers have 35 players on the active roster.

    THE WEEK AHEAD
    The Dodgers run the Ted Power gauntlet, finishing off a long road trip with three games in Cincinnati and four in St. Louis with the wild card-hopeful Cardinals. A bullpen game beckons for the series finale in Ohio.
