Blake Snell vs. Jesus Luzardo.
That photo up above, my dear friends, is the Dodgers Bullpen Trust Tree, where all branches basically lie in ruin on the ground. With their second straight implosion last night, spoiling Shohei Ohtani's five no-hit inning start, the Dodgers bullpen has clearly demonstrated (against a playoff-bound team) that there are no pieces on which Dave Roberts can rely.
Justin Wrobleski, Edgardo Henriquez, and Blake Treinen all shit the bed last night. Anthony Banda, Jack Dreyer, and Alex Vesia all shit the bed Monday night. Tanner Scott has shit the bed so many times all year long, his bed has to be an absolutely toxic pig sty. Hopefully he's got a washable mattress protector.
And in both nights' losses, the bullpen has squandered leads, and comeback dramatics, to ultimately lose the game.
I'm not even going to get into the fact that the bullpen has recently screwed no-hit bids from both of our Japanese starting pitchers. At this stage, Roki Sasaki has to be wondering if he even wants to make it back to The Show, given the clowns that would follow after him.
And it's not like we've got starters who will go deep into games. We're just not built that way. Look at tonight's starter, for example.

im just watching this game to see the club morale. if morale is low then we're fucked. if morale is high we're still fucked but will have our dignity intact after we lose in the playoffs
2 days in a row with no Max Muncy.
2-0 LA
Our bullpen sure has sucked lately.
finally someone stood up to Roberts. Snell stays in the game and gets the third out in the 7th.
I will give credit to Snell for his performance tonight.
Vesia with a scoreless eighth, and now we score two in the eighth to make it 5-0. Ohtani with his 51st
Is a five-run lead enough for Tanner Scott?
Tanner strikes out Schwarber
good win
Two base runners but not bad for Tanner. 5-0 WIN
Big move for Snell to demand to stay in, and for the Dodgers
