Thu 5/10: Walker Buehler vs. Tyler Mahle, 7p We lost. To the Reds. Who have the worst record in the NL.
Fri 5/11:: Kenta Maeda vs. Brandon Finnegan, 7p We lost. To the Reds. Who have the worst record in the NL.
Sat 5/12: Ross Stripling vs. Homer Bailey, 6p We lost. To the Reds. Who have the worst record in the NL.
Sun 5/13: Rich Hill vs. Luis Castillo, 1p We lost. To the Reds. Who have the worst record in the NL.
With a 16-20 record, fourth place in the division and back a full eight games of surprisingly hot Arizona, the Dodgers haven't had much about which to be happy of late. (Especially if you saw Kike Hernandez' woeful 0-fpr-5 with 2 Ks, 8 LOB, and misplay in the outfield leading to a Diamondbacks inside-the-park home run last night.)
But one of those few bright spots seems to be Walker Buehler, who is 2-0 in 3 games (16 IP), with a 1.13 ERA and 19 Ks. He takes the mound tonight to start a four-game series against one of the only three teams who have a worse record than the Dodgers, the Cincinnati Reds. The Giants already lost today (to the Phillies) and are in Pittsburgh this weekend; the NL West-leading Snakes host the Nationals starting Friday.
Maybe this is the series where the Dodgers get some timely hits for a change, and we make up some ground in the standings before the quarter-season mark hits?
Or, maybe things get even worse.

Hernandez benched for this one.
Goddammit Dodgers, if you let Buehler lose with all these LOBs, I’m gonna be really pissed off.
2-1 Reds, mid 6
We are losing to the Reds.
This is not the year. We can’t score. We can’t hit home runs. We are done.

CT3 triple followed by Muncy double gets us on the board. 5-1 after five.
And now Liberatore may be injured.
What's up with the cell phone lights? I thought that was an Angel Stadium thing.
Muncy! Muncy! Muncy!
Bob Geren catches another team messing up a double switch.
...then Puig grounds out to end the inning. Down 5-2 at the end of seven.
Sax's favorite player, Kiké, flies out on the first pitch to start the 8th.
Farmer hits a bullet at the pitcher for the second out.
Joc pops out to end the eighth.
Last licks. Down 6-2.
Btw, Kemp was ejected earlier in the game over a borderline called strike.
Yaz walks to leadoff the ninth. Locastro up.
Fielder's choice. One down. Bellinger up.
Bellinger gets hit by a pitch. And we get a pitching change. Two on with one out.
CT3 down on three pitches. Questionable call on strike two.

I’m at the game. Loge level.
Happy mother’s day, party people! No spontaneous bunting today!
Utley in leadoff?
Joc really needs to go back to Thunder by Inagine dragons as his walk up. He was good back then.
WHAT IS HAPPENING? Are we really about to be swept--at home, in front of the moms--by the Reds?!?!
Man, Cody is brilliant at first.
