    Sorry for my defeatist attitude, but it almost doesn't even matter anymore who the starting pitcher is - if the team can't score some decent runs. Because he could have a great start, but we know Roberts will pull him at some point even if the pitch count is manageable, and then Kimbrel will give up the lead (unless Graterol, Vesia, or other beats him to it).

    Also, when the offense was clicking early in the season, we just didn't realize how much Kimbrel had declined, because he always seemed to come in with a buffer and was able to pick up saves. Now we're lucky to even have a one-run lead in the ninth... that is, until Cardiac Craig comes in.

    Just offered two good seats to tonight's Reds game.

    Not going. It's 95 degrees now, so I'm in the backyard with my kids enjoying the pool. I won't let LA fuck that up after a 90 minute commute to & from. I can watch them win or lose from here, thanks.

    And, no, @irish ... I'm not drinking a Zima.







    California Coolers FTW, bitch

    I believe Price could give up the lead, no problem.

    Yes, but the original call rule screwed him. Looked like the 3B tagged his back leg after the lead leg hit the bag.

    Nit picky to rag on Freddie there, but making an out on the bases like that wasn't a wise move.

    True. But compared to the baserunning I've seen on the LAD this season to date, he is like the Stephen Hawking of Dodger baserunners.

    Anyone notice that JTurn's double off the wall in the 4th inning hit the yellow stripe on the wall?

    So I was on the Cincinnati broadcast, and the announcers explained that the ground rules say it has to be above the yellow stripe and actually hit the concrete above the yellow stripe to be home run.

    But here's my question - why bother to put a stripe on your wall if that stripe doesn't designate the homer? Shouldn't you just put the stripe a couple of inches higher (where the concrete is) and that's the home run?

    I'm super critical of the Dodgers, as most of us here are, but there's a lot that's effed up about many of these ballparks and their seemingly arbitrary and goofball rules. I get it. The house makes the rules - but your logic is non-existent and you need to rethink some things.
