Fri 2 7.10p: Clayton Kershaw vs. Luis Severino Sat 3 4.15p: Michael Grove vs. Gerrit Cole Sun 4 4.10p: Bobby Miller vs. Domingo Germán
First of all, let's start with the sobering fact that the Dodgers are now TIED for first in the NL West, with the upstart Diamondbacks, who are on fire. And now, here come the Yankees into the Stadium.
The Dodgers have faced the Yankees in the playoffs more than any other opponent. And in 2023, with both teams vying for the playoffs, this series promises to be a good one. The Yankees go with their ace, Gerrit Cole, as well as their #3 and #5 starters. And the Dodgers go with their legend, Clayton Kershaw, as well as...two dudes we have brought up from the minors early, due to injuries in our starting rotation.
Bobby Miller has been impressive, 2-0 in two games with a 1.64 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP. However, Michael Grove has not been good, 0-1 in four games with an 8.44 ERA ad a 1.75 WHIP. I'm not hopeful for this series, for the record. Hopefully the Dodgers prove me wrong.

HOLA FRIENDS!!! I have missed y'all. Up until about 3 weeks ago I was pleasantly surprised with our team. These days though I'm wondering if Thor's talent is hitting? I'm rooting for him for if anything else he is still purdy to look at. Hurry up and comeback Julio. So sorry about Dustin May. Hang tough kid. I'm very happy with Bobby Miller.
HAPPY KERSHAW DAY!!! Let's slay us some Yanks this weekend.

YankMes have Stanton and Donaldson both back in the lineup from the IL, batting fourth and fifth.
Oh yeah freaking Reggie Jackson cheated in the World Series when he stuck his hip into the ball to divert it. I hate that guy.
The Judge GDIP.
Great start for Clayton!
MOOOOKEEEE
Better start for Mookie!!!
Funky Muncy baby!!!!
After 1 6 runs, 8 hits for The Good Guys
7-2 LA, mid-5
MOOOKEEEE AGAIN!!!!
Mookie is the man. Two HR in this game
Almonte is going to lose this game for us. Leadoff walk, T8
Now Phil Bickford is going to lose this game for us.

Bickford on the IL.

Betts 2B
Freeman 1B
Smith C
Muncy 3B
Martinez DH
Heyward RF
Peralta LF
Outman CF
Rojas SS
P Grove
We're in play, 0-0 through 1.
Not expecting a lot of runs today against Gerrit Cole.
Grove gets Donaldson with a K, but then gives up a triple to DJ LeMahieu and then a home run to Jake Bauers, so it's 2-0 NYY, top 2.
2-0 NYY, B2
Muncy pops to short for out #1
One pitch, one out for JD Martinez. Two out
Cole has only 12 pitches so far, with five outs. So much for the Dodgers being selective in their pitches.
Heyward lets strike 1 go right down the middle. Then same for strike 2.
Heyward reaches on a HBP. There goes the perfect game!
Peralta doubles on a pop-up to short?! Heyward scores!
2-1 NYY
And James Outman gets rung on four pitches.
2-1 NYY through 2.
Dodgers down 5-3 through 8 full. We have had a lot of chances the last two innings, and we've sucked.
We're now 1-for-10 with RISP.
Two outs in the ninth, and Doc inexplicably goes to Victor Gonzalez for the third out. And Victor gives up a HR to Oswaldo Cabrera. Not a good call, Dave!
6-3 NYY, mid-9
Final, 6-3 NYY. BOOOOOOO
Let's come back tomorrow, boys!
GAME THREE: THE RUBBER MATCH
Mookie Betts RF
Freddie Freeman 1B
Will Smith C
Max Muncy 3B
JD Martinez DH
David Peralta LF
Miguel Vargas 2B
Chris Taylor SS
James Outman CF
Bobby Miller P
No Judge. Good news.
Miller working hard in the first inning.
27 pitches and 3 punch outs. Good I guess.
3 Ks in first for Bobby.
Hey y’all! Got an event tonight but I will be keeping track. Let’s go Dodgers!
Still scoreless
TIED!!!
Yeah, and that didn’t end well.
