Fri 9/21 7p: Stripling vs. Lauer Sat 9/22 6p: Hill vs. Nix Sun 9/23 1p: Ryu vs. Lucchesi
This is it, the last home series of the year! The Dodgers are coming off a head of steam, sweeping Colorado for the first three games of this short homestand, seizing a 2.5 game lead on the division with nine games left. Hackneyed articles about the Dodgers' bloated payroll be damned; we are now a "blue-collar" team, according to Mike Lupica of mlb.com. So we need to keep grinding away at our magic number, currently at 8 for the division title.
There's more baseball to play.
That said, we always seem to do poorly against the bad teams (exhibit a: 1-6 record vs. Cincinnati this season), so do you think we'll keep up the grinding against a team that's not even .400 on the season (61-92)?

Dodgers lineup still unavailable...hmm.
GAME 1
Hernández CF
Turner 3B
Machado SS
Freese 1B
Kemp LF
Puig RF
Grandal C
Dozier 2B
Stripling P
Strip cruises thru the 1st. Dodgers waste a JT double
Kiké makes a great diving catch to end the 2nd!
I don't know how we justify handing Machado $300M+ when he hasn't made an impact offensively this season
COL 2, ARI 2, bot 6
Strip gives up a 2-run HR to Renfroe. 2-1 Pads
Stripling is fool's gold. At 74 pitches in the 4th and struggling
Here's our chance. Two on, two out in the fifth...but Machado's up
Surprise surprise...he strikes out
Madson grooves one and the Padres go up 3-1
And Colorado is winning, B9
unbelievable
@Orel, you’re all over Machado.
Wood in. Game over
That situation in the 5th with Machado is why we got him
So many weak fly balls to right
Good things happen when every guy doesn't try to hit a 5-run HR every AB
Two RISP and JT flies out. 3-1 SD through seven.
Manny continues to be useless
Machado doesn’t get on base to lead off the eighth.
Orel is gonna be pissed.
Machado’s OPS+ with BAL this year: 163
With LAD: 116
Life! 3-1 now, 2 on with 2 out in the 8th
Puig singles home Joc from second. 3-2
Death! Cody strikes out after working a 3-1 count
John Axford, ladies and gentlemen. Watch him turn a one-run deficit into a three-run gap.

Hey, nice RBI for Machado in the ninth to make it a 5-3 loss!

What's wrong Orel?
GAME 2
Machado with a 3 run bomb on his bobblehead night! 6-0 in the third.
Orel is still not impressed.
6-0 LA
Joc opened the game with a bomb as well.
Yasmani is SO BAD
And, of course Yaz hits a HR
He heard you again.
Or was that Barnes last time?
7-2 LA win. Magic number is 7
ugh I mean WIN
GAME 3 FOR WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE SWEEP
Taylor LF
Turner 3B
Freese 1B
Machado SS
Hernández CF
Kemp RF
Dozier 2B
Barnes C
Ryu P
Machado in cleanup! Orel is gonna be psyched
Meanwhile, Dozier + Barnes in the 7-8 holes means we are giving away every other inning or so
Maybe bat Machado 8th?
Machado HR! 1-0, B2
Kemp celebrates his 34th birthday with a HR! 2-0 LA, B2
Bases get loaded, including a Dozier wild pitch K on which he reaches, and a Ryu single.
But JT flies out with the bases juiced. 2-0 through 2.
Couple of great looking swings for the HRs.
With Wil Myers coming to the plate, Dieter plays the Halloween theme on the organ. Love it.
Barnes with a HR? Holy shit
Barnes!!
4-0 LA
Daniels Jewelers is going out of business
Ryu with his second hit now!
Freese knocks in Ryu. 5-0 Dodgers!
Machado with another RBI
6-0
Kemp with 2 more RBIs! 8-0!
You’re totally right, Kemp! I need to know the future of water
Kemp and Machado are having great days here
Dozier, not so much
Maybe I need to become a Dozier hater now
AJ Ellis sighting!!!
Ryu had four hits all season, and has three this afternoon.
Yes Rick Monday, we understand what “making observations” means
Muncy 2-rbi PH single!
10-0 LA
Machado just misses a XBH
WIN
Snakes eliminated hahahahahaha
I credit Machado
