Post-Game 36 Thread: Evil Wins

CHEATERS 2, DODGERS 1

You see what happens when you try and extend a Game Thread theme into a second GT? Havoc ensues.

Anakin goes from awakening from a nightmare to descending into evil. And just like that, the Dodgers' bats went back to sleep in Houston, leaving starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani hung out to dry on two cheapie solo home runs, only notching one run from a Kyle Tucker RBI.

Teoscar Hernandez left at least 427 people on base today thanks to his 0-for-4, 2K night. And for the second game this season, Dave Roberts sent Santiago Espinal up to pinch hit, only to watch Espinal K on three straight pitches.

We need Mookie Betts back, fast. And if Hernandez is going to be as much of an offensive liability as he already is defensively, it's time for him to take a seat.
