Series Thread (Games 51-53): May 24-26 @ Pirates

this is a better song than it is a video

Fri 5.24 4p: Walker Buehler vs. TBD
Sat 5.25 4p: Hyun-Jin Ryu vs. Musgrove
Sun 5.26 10.30a: Kenta Maeda vs. Archer

The Pirates are coming off a losing series at home vs. Colorado. Okay, that's bad (salvaged by a 14-6 win Thursday). What's worse? Well, the Dodgers are coming off a disastrous meltdown in the second game against Tampa Bay, in which Dylan Floro and Caleb Ferguson joined forces to collectively shit the bed (not that they were in the same bed, per se). This came one night after Pedro Baez was hit by a wicked comebacker, expelling him from the game and now he's out indefinitely.

We ended up splitting that series against the Rays, but we fly into Pittsburgh with the weaknesses of our bullpen unveiled for everyone to see. So sure, we still hold the best record in the NL (32-18). But it's a worry.

It doesn't matter why we're known. We're just known.

Mrs. Quad knows the Silversun Pickups as "the band with the singer who sounds like a girl."

Pirates go with an opener. 5 of the first 6 Dodgers score and he is chased. 5-0 top of the first and Buehler will bat before pitching.

7-1 Dodgers in the 5th. I was washing dishes, so I have no idea how we scored those other two runs.

Dodgers win 10-2!

Dodgers win game 2 of the series 7-2. Ryu lost his scoreless streak and Bellinger hit a HR.
