Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.

Not much great things to say after losing a weekend series against the Royals that we actually won. We took two out of three games, but lost two key pieces of our lineup (Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Mookie Betts). So now we play four in Denver and really, I am not emotionally ready for this series. Neither are the Dodgers.

It's time for these bottom-of-the-order schlubs to put up or shut up.
Pages: BA .237 / OPS .736 (OPS+ 108)
Heyward: .216 / .754 (113)
Rojas: .278 / .772 (118)
but then...
Biggio: .200 / .607 (78)
Lux: .212 / .542 (55)
Oh and by the way
Taylor .108 / .351 (2)
It's a dark day in Dodgerville
Remember when Joe Theisman had that horrific break to his leg and the network kept replaying the injury over and over. I am sort of reliving that with them showing Mookie writhing in pain over and over.
3-0 Boys in the second
That IBB gives Freeman five walks today
First win without our Mookie
I will take it
Game 2 sans Mookie :(

Holy cow, Dave is really thumbing his nose at the baseball gods for this one.
Kike instead of Biggio might make sense at third. But Taylor instead of Lux at second? Vargas in an outfield spot instead of JayHey?
Gonna be on the trails for the start of this game.
GAME 2 WITHOUT MOOKIE
@Saxy 2:42.....Maybe Doc is just saying 'aww fuck it.'
I can't see Kersch's no hitter without getting teary eyed. My mom was with me that night and she was totally clear, no signs of dementia. I lost her 6 weeks later but am so grateful for that gift from God.
Walker Buehler is not a starter.
He gives up 4 runs in the first.
4-0 COL
@karen 5:12p: I get it now, Buehler was starting. Exactly
Wait a minute, I think Tim Neverett incorrectly said Mays had passed?
@saxy....all looks good on Wilie's page.
Buehler not good today
It's Coors, no need to panic
ESPN also reporting Mays has passed.
RIP Willie Mays.
Giants twitter page confirmed
RIP Willie Mays
And Buehler gives up a two-run HR.
We gotta sit his ass.
CNN IS REPORTING WILLIE MAYS DEAD AT 93.
RIP WILLIE. ONE OF BASEBALLS GREATEST.
Ohtani!!!
Doesn't that centerfielder know he plays for the Rox? They don't make catches like that.
A lot of Dodger fans at Coors! Grand slam by J Hey!
GONE!!!! Teo hits a 3 run homer with 2 out in the ninth! 11-9 Dodgers
With 7 runs in the ninth the Boys win 11-9!!!
Holy smokes, we actually won that game.
What a great finish last night!

I can't believe there is no game on Sunday. This new scheduling is so freaking weird.
Shohei leads off the game with a homer
hey sports fans! I'm here
Wait, CT3 singled and I missed it?!
1-0 LA through 1.5
Eric Karros is enamored with Shohei's explosive, powerful hips.
@Saxy....Good, I thought I was going to be alone today
@karen 11:23a: totally weird scheduling, I agree
that said, the Dodgers have had 13 consecutive games so I think they could use a rest
@karen: when you're a Dodgers fan, you're never alone :)
@Saxy...EK and Shohei's hips...very funny
^sorry, it's a string of 12 straight games, not 13
they removed the "schedule" part from the mlb app bottom menu, I have no idea where to find it now
oh, you have to tap the team first. stupid
Teo being pulled early yesterday is yielding some benefits today. That's his second single of the game.
PAGES RBI DOUBLE!
Vargas RBI!
3-0 LA, mid-3
Kiké Hernandez hasn't had a multi-hit game all month (10 games so far).
Chris Taylor has had a hit in the last three games he has started...but his OPS+ is still only 13!
Stone gets Doyle for the third out in the third, and also for his fourth K of the game! Over halfway to a free Jumbo Jack!
Slappy with a solo shot!
4-0 LA
Slappy hits a solo...4-0 Blue
I'm using a lot of exclamation points today!
Back to backers! 5-0
Freeman goes back to back!
5-0 LA
Kiké grounds out to end the top of the fifth.
Still 5-0 LA
Stone has 6 Ks through five full. Let's get that Jumbo Jack!
Taylor's working on a nine-pitch AB to start the sixth
10th pitch is ball four! CT3 works a walk.
Man on first and none out for Shohei.
Ohtani flies to center. One out.
You'd think we send Taylor, even though he fouled a ball off his foot in that AB.
Yep, he steals second.
Slappy flies to right. Two out.
J U M B O J A C K ! ! !
Stone leaves with the bases loaded and one out in the sixth. Treinen coming in.
Good effort for the young guy. I blame Biggio, even if he isn't playing.
5-3 going to 9
Okay I'm back for the ninth inning. 5-3, what happened while I was gone?!
We have seen some good defense from the Rox in this series
Freddie legs out an infield single there
@Saxy...I fell asleep so it couldn't have been anything good
Oh no, is Freddie hurt?
He's staying in the game.
Teo forces Freddie at second. One out.
Pages flies to right.
No hits for Miggy so this one is still up in the air
Miguel goes 0-for-4 as Teo is picked off of first base for the third out? Doc is challenging.
Remember, when Rojas gets a hit, we're undefeated.
Teo is out. We go to the bottom of the ninth.
one
two
Yes sirree! A win for the good guys
Phillips is dealing here
oh wait my feed is late!
WIN!
SERIES VICTORY!
Get on back home, Dodgers, and let's get ready for the Angels.
Except not on Sunday.
