Game 54 Thread: May 26 @ Guardians, 3p

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (5-3, 1.86) vs. Gavin Williams (4-2. 3.94).

Finally, we are out of the nationally-televised game spotlight, and I think that's a Groot thing for the Dodgers, who seem to put their worst foot forward on the big stage. Sunday's debacle in New York was another example of this, with the 3-1 defeat showing an inept offense throughout the game, not to mention four errors defensively.

The worst error of which came from Max Muncy, who cost us a run Sunday and almost cost us the game on Friday against the Mets as well (obstructing the vision of the runner on third on a sacrifice fly). Muncy is now batting .210 with a woeful .670 OPS, and it's time to really consider options at third base. I'm sure Muncy is looking at the recent departures of Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor and has a keen understanding that we can't wait much longer for him to play to his potential. It would be awesome to see him turn it around on this road trip, starting with tonight's game in Cleveland.
