Very efficient night for the pen, too. Just 33 pitches among the three relievers. Really made Verlander pay for his walks.
These guys are having pretty good seasons elsewhere and would look pretty good in this lineup. Seager: .355/.416/.628/wRC+ 185 Turner: .288/.360/.470/wRC+ 125 Bellinger: .302/.357/.515/wRC+ 133 Yeah, yea, Turner is old, Bellinger needed a change of scenery, Corey is always injured, and $ is a big concern, but just sayin. I don't know what the difference is in $ per WAR between our legacy stars and the scrubs we have now in those positions, but, again... just sayin. When I catch a half innning here and there it doesn't look like the Dodgers to me. I think the Dodgers realized you cannot go "all-in" every season; sneaking into the expanded playoffs and making a run is a decent strategy while you reset. But it would be nice if they purged Roberts too.
Dodger lineup looks like a pile of dog shit tonight. Just do not trust Gonsolin...always seems on the edge of being scrambled. Dodgers are swinging at some really out of the zone pitches, a la JD and Heywood. Max should bat 8th.
Hear about it after the game why Alexi-ie is in there now. 54 is a lot of pitches. lol Otherwise who the fuck knows why ?
