Mon 5/6: Buehler vs. Gausman Tues 5/7: Ryu vs. Fried Wed 5/8: Kershaw vs. Foltynewicz all games at 7p
We took two of three against the Padres, but all the air was let out of the tires after Kenley Jansen loaded the bases with none out, and then got two out...only to give up a walkoff grand slam to lose the game 5-8. Upon that kick to the nuts, it also became clearer that our two comeback wins Friday (4-3) and Saturday (7-6) were probably more fluky luck rather than division dominance. We easily could have dropped all three in San Diego. As it is, we leave the weekend with a narrow one-game lead over Arizona and 2.5 games over San Diego.
Welcome the new, great depression.
Sure, everyone will tell you, we've got more wins than anyone in the majors. That's partially because we've also played more games than any other team in the majors (our 36 games are tied for first with three other teams); the Cubs have played FIVE fewer games than us (and are only three back in the wins column). So I'm not buying into the optimism just yet, and especially not when Jansen's labored delivery and heavy pitch load with each batter seems to indicate something is amiss.
We host a Braves team who is only 1.5 games behind the Philadelphia Bryce Harpers in the NL East, and are hungry. I'm hungry as well--for Dodger Dogs--so I'll be attending Monday and Wednesday's game. Shout out if you're at the Stadium as well (I'm talking to you, Quad!).

Good game to watch this evening. Glad we won.
Good morning!
Has Urias been named our closer yet? What a performance last night.
GAME 2
Dodgers up 4-0 through three. Harvard-Westlake’s Max Fried left the game in the second after a Verdugo comebacker hit him in the wrist. He had already given up three runs, including a JT solo shot, in the first.
Ryu took a perfect game into the sixth. He’s gone eight scoreless and is coming back out for the ninth. JT has hit 3 HRs! It’s 9-0 Dodgers!
CG shutout!
Ryu: 9 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 6 K, 0 BB
JT: 4 for 5, 3 HRs, 6 RBIs
Do we get a NINE-PIECE CHICKEN MCNUGGETS?

Big news guys. I found the secret urinal by the Emirates Suite.
Also, we are up 3-0 on the Muncy solo shot.
Dammit. Acuna HR makes it 3-2, T4
Dodgers Jr question for the players was “if you could travel to any decade, what would it be?”
Joe Kelly wanted to be the decade where the model T was invented.
They didn’t follow up to ask if we could leave him there

Freddie Freeman is up, and Dieter just played the chorus from George michael’s “freedom”
