Fri 18 7p: Tony Gonsolin vs. Sandy Alcantara Sat 19 12n: TBD vs. TBD Sat 19 6p: Julio Urias vs. Eury Perez
The Dodgers have won 11 in a row and now it's getting ludicrously implausible. Thursday's game, a 1-0 victory, came at the hands of seven scoreless innings from a Chicago White Sox castoff (Lance Lynn, now 4-0 with the Dodgers), and the first home run in almost a year for the meek Austin Barnes (who raised his average to a still microscopic .136).
Wednesday's game, a 7-1 victory, included home runs from the light-hitting nine-hole Miguel Rojas (now bating .220 on the year, with three HR total) and Chris Taylor in the eight hole (his 13th of the year, batting .219). If we could just get Max Muncy hitting again, this would be absolutely absurd.
But here we are, having feasted on poor teams but still thriving against good ones (Milwaukee still leads the NL Central, with a two-game lead over the Reds). And here come the Marlins, tied with the Reds for the third and final Wild Card position, and throwing their reigning Cy Young award winner to start the truncated weekend series (rescheduled due to the incoming hurricane Hilary).
I highly doubt we can stretch this streak to 14 by grilling the visting Fish. But that's okay, I'd much rather save some in the tank for the playoffs! I hope we're not peaking too soon.

yep. my concern is that the Dodgers are peaking too soon.
what the fuck? didn't catman give up a first pitch first batter of game homerun during his last outing
Gonsolin bringing his typical late-season game: HR to the first batter, then two walks with two out. He's already at 22 pitches.
Gonsolin escapes the first.
1-0 MIA through 0.5 innings.
Wish this game was on Apple TV
Mookie!
MOOKIE! He gets one back with his own leadoff homer.
1-1
Freeman Ks.
at least catman is giving up only solo homeruns
2-1 fish
I knew it. I guess I should shut the fuck up
5-1 fish
Dammit Tony, you are not good.
7-1 Marlins, Gonsolin throwing BP out there. Geez.
Announcers are talking about how Gonsolin won’t even make the postseason roster at this rate
Meanwhile the Brewers are killing the Rangers 9-4. And that’s after we swept them.
Ohtani up B5, in a 5-5 tie vs TB
Armstrong Ks Ohtani
Mookie up to start the third.
Brewers falling apart in the ninth here vs Texas, it’s 9-7 MIL and their pitcher is wild
Seager almost goes yard, but it’s caught at the fence. MIL wins 9-8
Gonsolin has two RISP before getting the first out in the fourth.
Muncy with a solo HR to lead off the fourth, so now it’s 10-2 MIA.
We totally got this one.
11-3 Fish in the eighth
SoSG Stubbs in the Stadium tonight!
Stubbs jinxed the Dodgers streak.
11-3 final.
Tony Gonsolin sucked tonight!
Game 2 is already underway!
Caleb Ferguson opens the game, yields two two-out singles but no runs.
0-0 through 0.5
Gonsolin to IL and likely won’t pitch again this year
I can't believe our Sunday game is rescheduled for today because of a freaking hurricane hitting SoCal.

I mean, Cali does earthquakes not hurricanes!
@Sax....What is wrong with Catman.
0-0, B3
Boy, Outman and Peralta have both made some great plays to keep the marlins off the board.
1-0 Fish starting the fifth.
Perez has K'd nine Dodgers through five
There is an Austin Barnes bobblehead later this year.
What is happening here
Perez is finally taking a seat here in B7. He had 10 Ks.
Hopefully this sparks the Dodgers from here.
Still 1-0 Miami, B7
Nope, Slappy picks up right where he left off. He Ks to start the seventh.
Muncy of course flies out in the first pitch.
^on
PH Rosario also retired on one pitch.
Great.
Taylor flies out for the first out of the eighth
Dodgers have a whopping two hits today
