Series Thread (Games 7-10): July 30 - Aug 2 @ D'backs

Thu July 30 6.30p: Ross Striping (1-0, 1.29) vs. Robbie Ray (0-1, 7.36)
Fri July 31 6.30p: TBD vs. Zac Gallen (0-0, 2.25)
Sat Aug 1 5p: Julio Urias (0-0, 1.80) vs. Luke Weaver (0-1, 16.20)
Sun Aug 2 1p: TBD vs. Merrill Kelly (1-0, 1.17)

Fresh off a sweep of the Cheaters in Houston, the Dodgers take their 4-2, third-place record into the Arizona desert to see if we can wake some of these bats up. Besides Justin Turner's team-leading .333 average (Corey Seager is close behind at .320), we've got only Kiké Hernandez at .280...and then there's a big drop to find Chris Taylor (.211), Mookie Betts and Max Muncy (.200), and Cody Bellinger (.192). Neither Betts nor Bellinger have a HR through six games. It's early, so I don't want to sound the alarm bells...but honestly the only person who seems to be stroking is Seager.

Let's get the rest of the team started in this series. There isn't a lot of time to waste in this abbreviated season, guys.

Cody is hacking up there. He looks awful

Orel said...

No MVP for him this season

Orel said...

Pollock hates his old team

Steve Sax said...

Just joining back, B6 with none out and a man on first. Chicken Strips almost induces a GIDP but the throw to muncy was high.

Steve Sax said...

Chicken Strips exits with one out in the bottom of the sixth, a man on, and a 6-2 lead.

Steve Sax said...

Kolarek gets out #2. Snake still on second

Steve Sax said...

Kolarek gives up a single to right. 6-3

Steve Sax said...

Kelly in for the bottom of the seventh. His first pitch is inside.

Steve Sax said...

1-2-3 inning for Kelly. 6-3 LA through 7
