Game 39 Thread: May 9 @ Diamondbacks, 6.40p

Michael Conforto, concrete block anchor.

Roki Sasaki (1-1, 3.86) vs. Eduardo Rodriguez (1-3, 5.92)

The Dodgers are only 4-3 on this road trip, with three games left to play against the Diamondbacks. We had a shot at a rally last night in the eighth inning, down 5-2 and poised for more, until Michael Conforto grounded into a double play with men at the corners and one out.

I konw that Conforto doesn't feel any better about this than I do, but going 0-for-3 with that key GIDP, he is now batting .135 with a .503 OPS (47 OPS+, which means he's 53% worse than an average player). We have to stop the madness of trotting Conforto out in this lineup. We can't carry Conforto and then also hope to have Max Muncy, James Outman, and possibly Kike Hernandez surrounding him with further sub-mediocrity.
