Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Mike Bolsinger (3-1, 1.15) vs. Chad Bettis (2-0, 2.96).
Chad Bettis took a no-hitter into the eighth inning in his last start, versus the Phillies. But, unlike his brother Jerome, Chad has never been on a winning team. So in tonight's series finale, I'm betting on the kid with the 325 ERA+ in Bolsinger, who hasn't given up more than two runs in any of his five starts this year. Sorry, Chad, but I'm throwing you under The Bus.

Pirates sweep the gnats in frisco, winning the final game 5-2.
Raise the jolly roger!!!
I hear they're laid out the tarp on Colorado, so there may not be any 470ft homers today.
Great tie in with the Bettis Bros and throwing Chad under 'The Bus' Sax. Looks likes DBT's right and the tarp is out at Coors. They are still calling it a delay and not a cancel so we'll see.
The NL West bids a fond farewell to Mark Trumbo
Delayed?!
hail
I'm starting to get impatient now. Someone needs to call Colorado and tell them that if they can't provide baseball weather then they don't get to have a MLB team. And don't let them say they'll do the dome thing cause that's not baseball. For big league baseball they need grass, summer weather and blue skies and only then, IF they can provide those 3 things. they can have a team.
Rant over. I feel better now.

...hail, the gang's all here
@Orel...Thank you.
dammit, that joke is funnier in sequence to Orel's 6:24p comment
@karen 6.41p: I actually really like Coors Field, which I visited in 1996. I don't believe baseball stadiums should be domed, and if they have roofs they should be retractable at least. And I would hate for the Rockies to be gone as (a) baseball needs full-national coverage; (b) batting averages and majestic home runs (see: Joc Pederson) benefit; and (c) the Dodgers seem to do pretty well against them by and large.
My vote: let the Rockies stay!
(but yes, weather delays are annoying.)
PS SoSG AC is all over me for not continuing the Van Damme theme. We'll see if my shift in themes leaves us Derailed tonight.
@Saxy...Amen to that.

LAD 31-21

NL Wild Card standings
E NYM, 29-24 / Wash 29-24
C STL, 35-18
W LAD 31-21
Wildcard: three-way lock between NYM/Wash, Pitt, and SF
So if the playoffs were today, we would play the E division champion Washington Nationals (4-3 head-to-head against NYM this season)
Well, that was quick. 1-2-3 in the first. 0-0
And, we're already losing.
Bolsinger has one out in four batters, and is already down 1-0. Not good.
Uh oh. Rain, balk, 1 run 2 on 1 out.
Welcome to Coors Field, Bolsinger
Play resumes.
Is it just me or has this game been a little weird?
Hersch saying Bettis was sending a message when he hit Joc.
Bolsinger gets out of it.
Guerrero Ks with two on and 1 RISP. Come on, boys.
Dammit Rollins
Alright, alright, alright. 2-1 Good
Man!! Tulo gets us every freaking time. 4-2 Rox, still no outs in 5th.
well, that sucks. 4-2 COL
I was really disappointed when Blue traded Dee Gordon because I thought he was a young, exciting, good kid but I have to say that our rookie cup runneth over with AG2 and Joc this season.
Haul out the rally banana, we got something going on here.
Agon brings in young Joc, 4-3, 2 on, 1 out and a pitching change in top of 7.
DRE BRINGS IN 2 RBI. GOOD GUYS TAKE THE LEAD 5-4 still in top of 7.
Bases juiced for AG2 with 1 out in top of 7.
Hey, this is good! 5-4 LA, 1 out with RA
UJTD for AG2. 5-4 Dodgers going to bot of 7.
Young Joc hits his 17th of the season!! 6-4 Blue.
Oh no. Rox kicking up some dust in bot of 9. 2 on, no outs, Donnie Baseball making a pitching change bringing in Yimi.
Why is Kenley not in the game??
Come on, Yimmers!
Well, this can't end well.
Oh my hell!! I leave for 10 minutes to pick my kid up from work and what the shit happened????????
CliffyB...was anything said about why Kenley was not brought in?
well, that was pretty bad. Can't believe we didn't bring in Kenley.
PGT up
