Game 77 Thread: June 20 vs. Nationals, 7p

I was pretty surprised by Ohtani's cool demeanor after getting hit in the ninth inning yesterday.

Clayton Kershaw (2-0, 3.25) vs. Mackenzie Gore (3-6, 2.89).

Both staring pitchers today have win-loss records that belie their talent: Kershaw, whose season started late due to injury; and Gore, whose ERA is a better reflection of his skill given the Nationals' woeful 31-44 record. I'm just hoping for a game where every batter isn't living in fear of getting plunked.

Did anybody see that Padres manager carrying on last night? I'm sorry, I don't know his name. I think it's something like Shithole. So last night this Shithole man starts blubbering about how they're just trying to win a game and the kid pitching for the Dodgers, the one making his MLB debut, is taking shots

(Sorry) at his players. Does that sound like a hysterical child or a professional mlb manager. Just wondering.

Scott gives up a bomb to Abrams in the ninth. Dodgers nursing a 6-5 lead. One out.
