This team can't pitch.

I went to tonight's game with Benjamin

They lost 8-5 after the lead changed hands multiple times.

Sure, they left 11 men on base, and that's what the talk shows keep focusing upon, but that's the wrong way to look at it. They scored 5 runs. They scored 7 the game before. They lost both. They won several others earlier where they gave up a bunch of runs, but scored even more.

It's such a shame to waste this potent offense. Joe Kelly continues to suck, though to be fair, they were already behind 6-5 when he coughed up that extra run.

Even Jansen didn't pitch all that well tonight (in a non-save situation)

Dylan Floro has been the only good middle reliever.

If the plan is, "We need more than 5 runs to win", it's going to be a long season.

David Freese is so clutch, though. Every time the guy needs to get a hit, he gets a hit. He did that last year as soon as he joined the Dodgers, and he is already doing it this year.
Giving up 5.5 runs a game, even if 3 were in Colorado, is not going to get it done in the playoffs against front line pitching. Once again they failed to address their number one need, a solid starter to compliment Kershaw.
