Game 14 Thread: April 9 @ Nationals, 1p

Landon Knack (1-0, 0.00) vs. Jake Irvin (0-0, 5.40).

Doomed to a losing roadtrip, the Dodgers try and salvage the last game of this three-game debacle in Nationals Park. And the bottom of our lineup is absolutely putrid:

  • Michael Conforto (0-for-4 with 3 Ks yesterday, batting .235);
  • Kiké Hernandez (HR anad a 1-for-3 outing raises his average to .111);
  • Max Muncy (1-for-4 yesterday with 3 Ks, batting .190);
  • Andy Pages (2-for-3 to raise his average to .162, so forgive me for not giving a shit about his meaningless HR late in the game);
  • Austin Barnes (hitless for the 2025 season, and had 2 Ks yesterday).

Without Freddie Freeman in the lineup, the pain starts as early as the five-hole. We're currently in second place in the NL West despite being an impressive 6-2 against teams above 500 (the "surging" Giants, who are tied with us in the standings, have not played a winning team all year long). But this really can't go on like this.

Who's up for some serious fun today?

Knack is pitching against the 5 hole and still doesn't got an out

^^^have not got..... after 1 4-3 Blue
It took Knack 41 pitches and didn't he get the first out until the number 6 batter

Knack is pulled in fourth but not before a lot of traffic. Gives up the lead, 5-4 after third inning.
