May vs. Morejon
Last night was a heart attack: Cody Bellinger's game-saving catch over the wall, Joe Kelly's tightrope to save Kenley Jansen's ass in the ninth. And after a heart attack, things in life always seem a lot clearer. Like the fact that Kenley Jansen is not fit to be our closer any longer. Or that Doc Roberts isn't going to depend upon tenure and history to make decisions. Or that Max Muncy and Cody Bellinger are starting to heat up again...which is exactly what we need.
Look, all season long, the Dodgers' bats have picked up this team in the few times when the bullpen has faltered. Last night's cardiac ninth inning was nuts but the Dodgers were were still due 9-1-2 in the bottom of the ninth, and I for one had a feeling that Mookie would have come up big again. But I'll take the win nonetheless.
Tonight we are the "visiting" team so we need to get out there and score runs early and often. Let's do this.

The fact that we were the "Home" team yesterday completely slipped my mind since we weren't at Dodger Stadium. Thinking the Padres were about to walk it off added to the stress I felt last night.
Also, I don't have MLB Network so I won't be able to watch tonight's game. ESPN alerts are set.
Oh wow this game is already on!

Pollock has gotta get himself that sliding glove.

Interesting how MLB network runs the commercials but keeps a camera on the game, during the pitching change. Fascinating to see Mookie taking notes for his next AB, Pollock hydrating, Padres infield looking a little down but definitely not out.
I am so excited for Pederson. That's huge.
And for Pollock, rebounding after a disappointing postseason last year.
Taylor seems like he's flailing a bit here. Ks.
Wait, flies to shallow left. My bad.
