Series Thread (Games 63-65): June 8-10 vs. Braves

Fri 6/8: Buehler vs. McCarthy, 7p
Sat 6/9: Wood vs. Sanchez, 6p
Sun 6/10: Stripling vs. TBD, 1p

Finally, a good team worthy of facing the red-hot Dodgers, winners of 15 in their last 20 games and having not lost any of their last six series (5-0-1). With the Dodgers stroking the bats and sending in a phalanx of relievers to plug holes in the injury-ridden starting rotation, we now go up against the NL East-leading Braves, 10 games over .500 (unlike our pedestrian 31-31 record that has us out only a game and half in the mediocre NL West).

Manny Mota Bobbleheads for the taking this weekend. Let's go get 'em, Blue!

LOL Bellinger doesn’t even know how to argue with the umpire. What a millennial (or whatever group he’s in)
