    Would love to see the Giants sweep the Dodgers. Nice bet.

Acuna might have to have the bat be there right away, or else he's gonna be a replacement level guy in LF.

    So since Jansen went out the Dodgers have lost 4 in a row, and 3 of those losses were in the 9th inning. Not a good sign.

    Pretty astute GBCP. Here’s the story

    Kershaw was like 110 pitches in after 8. The announcers spotted Alexander in the pen warming up. Alexander is a sinker slider guy and the Giants batters have great inside out swings. They knew what was coming and should feast and they did.

    The live ML was taken down this late in the game. I now have a hard on and no way to relieve it except the 3 way “win the rest” which indeed has lousy odds like European soccer matches.

    Faced with the prospect of priapism and a night of regret I took the +500. I still think I win that 2 out of 5 minimum.

    On a side note, it’s like Kershaw read yesterday’s posts. Who was that guy last night? The truth is both Kershaw and Dave Roberts knew their bullpen sucked before and now Jansen was out so it was Kershaw or bust.

    Kershaw 2018 negative units lured me in ... I don’t give a fuck how I get there with the Dodgers loss in his starts. It’s pretty much automatic and lucrative.

    I don’t want to hear any crying about Jansen. If your whole season hinges on this one guy and you did shit to address relief then you are realizing the awfulness of the Dodgers nerd trust.

    Amen

    You can be rich, famous, and a star athlete, but if you need 2 heart surgeries by age 31, you're not running all that well in life.

    I'll be honest, I would be freaked out going into heart surgery, fearing that one small screwup and I'm not waking up (and I'll never know what happened).
    Doziers EKG came back abnormal now as well.

    Your team may not have to choke it away they all might just die.

    Death is better than the embarrassment that is sure to come.

    Can you believe they are still like top 5 in the power rankings and that analyst Druff has them listed as best team in NL?

    All the conventional know-it-alls are in for a rude shock.

    Also, shout out to how quickly Machado adopted the Dodger 3 outcome approach to baseball. Strikeout/walk/HR. His strikeouts are unreal

    Well, in fairness they do seem to be one of the better 8 inning teams in baseball. If games were only 8 innings long the Dodgers would be something like 3-0-3 in their last 6 games instead of 0-6.

    Acuna crushing the ball. First pitch of the game Urena throws at him.

    I don't mind that move at all, except that he did throw 97.5mph (fastest pitch to start game by him ever).

    No problem with it. The other team has a right to try and back you off that’s part of the game. If he had thrown at his head well that’s a different story. People today really have become pansies.

    Hitting batters is part of the game and if rules ever tighten I will snap quit

    My issue is that there was no cause. There was no beef between Acuna and Urena’s team. Acuna’s only crime was he is great.

    What is interesting is that I think Mattingly told him to do it. Old school Yankee. I am sure it was him.

    Glad the kid is alright. Death threats are a nuisance.

    Dodgers nerd trust having a successful season. They are on target to meet the luxury tax under. Friedman suffering a lot of criticism. His genius will be revealed later. The guy is willing to suffer for what’s right. Tip your cap.

    They haven’t succumbed to conventional pressures like trying to win with their endless resources. Yankees and Red Sox have already done that but this is an advanced analytics age. Yanks & Sawks are dinosaurs. Dodgers know better.

    If it is Bumgarner throwing at a hot player on a rival NL West team fighting for the division that is fine.

    But I have a problem when a shitty player on a shitty team is throwing at a good player on a playoff contender. That is just bush league to me and has no place in the game.

    So you’re saying if you’re not in contention you should stop competing? Ridiculous.

    Did Druff somehow think he would skate through this morning unnoticed?

    Dodgers lose to Mariners in extra innings with walk-off balk

    Champions look back on seasons filled with magical come from behind victories (Oakland?) and teams like the snake-bit Dodgers have different experiences.

    I’m just doing my job.

    How will Kershaw lose tonight? The potential is unlimited and the surprise is always rewarding. This is why we love sports.

    I swear some dumbass will still have the Dodgers listed as top 5 in the power rankings. That’s fine. That’s what makes Dodger hating socially acceptable. No one picks on the Padres. There’s no edge in that.

    that walkoff balk sure was a microcosm of both Seattle and the Dodgers seasons there.

    The balk was ridiculous, but Sanlmar is overlooking that the Dodgers came back from 4-1 deficit in the last 2 innings with 3 solo HR.

    So that was encouraging.

    Their bullpen still sucks.

    Jansen is coming back next week, so things should improve ... a little.
