TBD Tyler Glasnow vs. Chase Dollander (2-12, 6.77).
Instead of using this home stretch to iron out any lingering nits as we gear up for the playoffs, the Dodgers are playing for their lives in these final 20 games. Key questions abound: Why is Michael Conforto still allowed to take at bats with his .197 BA and -0.7 WAR? Why should Tanner Scott ever touch the ball in the late innings? Why are we carrying Kiké Hernandez on our regular season roster when he is only good in the playoffs?
Maybe we can use this series against the Rockies to answer some of these questions definitively. But given it's a last-place team, and we went 1-5 against Pittsburgh and Baltimore last week--I'm guessing we're going to play just as poorly this series.
Which will lead to even more questions.
I'm hoping we don't suffer from the weight of the Rox today.

It's 3:57p and we still haven't named a starter.
Oh, it’s Tyler Glasnow. No wonder we had to wait to name the starter.
Updated the GT.
Duran just shut down the Mets in the ninth, Phillies win 1-0.
We are not catching the Phillies.
TJ Friedl hits a solo HR in the first in SD. 1-0 Reds. Not counting on that outcome to hold.
Conforto breaks up the no-hitter in the fifth?!
Shocking
Kim is up there hacking
My god, Kim. That was an ugly AB and strike three.
Pages GIDPs 5-4-3. Fucking A.
Pages, you can’t play defense to save a no-hitter, and then you can’t hit either.
Two straight walks to start the sixth. Dollander, the COL starter, chased as well due to a leg issue.
Freeman comes through! Ball gets right over the first baseman and goes into right, scoring Rortvedt.
1-1
IBB to Max, so here’s Teo.
Teoscar fans weakly. Two out. And now Conforto again.
Conforto grounds out to leave the bases loaded.
Teo and Conforto are both just awful.
Not expecting much from Rortvedt, with Pages (HBP) on first and one out.
Rortvedt pops to short. Two out, here’s Ohtani (who walked last AB).
Double for Ohtani! So here’s Mookie with two out and two RISP. Yikes.
Mookie magic! Two-run single!
Let’s GO MOOKIE!!!
3-1 LA, through 7 full

Why did we pull Glasnow, when he pitched like he did tonight?!
Oh god, Tanner Scott in for the ninth.
What the fuck.
And Tanner Scott IMMEDIATELY gives up the no-hitter. Double to the leadoff batter.
One out. Tying run at the plate.
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
PH Doyle grounds to Betts. Two out. Hunter Goodman up, he has hit three HR in the last four games. 😬
Tanner Scott gets the save!
WIN
Glasnow did well tonight.
We need better offense beyond the top three. Teoscar, I’m looking at you.
maybe get a winning streak started?
@spank, that’s crazy talk.
