Blake Snell (3-1, 1.80) vs. Yu Darvish (2-3, 5.97).
Sounds familiar: home team comes into a three-game series one game behind in the standings, with a visiting rival squad that has something to prove. And though this worked out well for the Dodgers last weekend, the Dodgers' pathetic series split in Denver against the Rockies demonstrates that we are far from firing on all cylinders (not to mention, Teoscar Hernandez' defense in right field sometimes looks like he's up on cinder blocks in the driveway).
And don't get me started on why the hell Michael Conforto keeps playing (he is 0-for-his-last-13 and sports a .186 batting average and .612 OPS this year, with 63 hits on the year and 93 Ks). We keep trotting out lineups like this, and we're expecting to lose.

Jeez I hate Manny Machado.
I wonder how many Dodgers will be HBPs this time around.
Tanner Scott back from IL. Not sure how I feel about that.
Gotta keep eyes on the Phillies. They're up 4-3, B8 (@ Philly), over the Nationals. They are one game ahead of us in the standings.
Nats take a 5-4 lead in the ninth! Holy smokes
Nats hold on for the win. Amazing.
Thank you Nats!!! We'll take it.
Shohei’s first AB is brought to you by Asahi Super Dry.
Darvish with a spotless first.
Snell counters with a 1-2-3 inning.
Kennedy makes a great catch off the gangster's bat at the hot corner. 0-0 after 1.
Conforto fucking watches strike 3 go by.
0-0 through 1.5
STOP CONFORTO
weak sauce
O’Hewith a leadoff jam single, but the next batter GIDPs to Mookie.
^o’Hearn
FREELAND!!!
First MLB HR!!!
Freeland hits his first homer!!
Freeland!!
And now Conforto is making bad plays in left, allowing a leadoff base hit to Liriano thanks to a bad jump. Great.
Loriano gets thrown out at third after misinterpreting Tatis’ check swing strike 3!
Loved that play at third to get Liriano.
Padres make a lot of mental errors. the remind me of the Yankees
Not a good time for Slappy to fall into a slump
Snell lets a house of horrors happen in the fourth, losing the lead 2-1
And it looks like he’s back to more crappy pitching in the fifth. That’s Blake Snell for you!
dammit i think rushings out
yep. dammit
mookie with a.defensive gem
I can hardly watch.
its up to Freddie
runners on the corners for teo
Teo Ks.
Teo is not good.
BOOOOOOO
Torture. Absolute torture.
Snell is not enough. I’m not surprised.
Conforto sucks. I’m not surprised.
Rushing is not ready yet. I’m not surprised.
Teo is quickly becoming a liability both offensively and defensively. He’d better turn this around.
