Could’ve had that DP if Vlad stretches towards the throw more. Everyone is out of it mentally right now

Road trips usually are good in retaining focus as it's hanging with the guys and talking/playing ball. Maybe the fact that their trip is only three days and then the Dodgers at home took away the full effect. 

Valenzuela to play 75% of the time please.

Now for the top of the lineup to fk it

I'm honestly more worried about the offense than the pitching 

At least with the pitching we have multiple starters coming back 

The offense is sink or swim

You realize the pitchers are as, if not more responsible for the runners ability to steal bases eh?

Have you seen Heineman throw lately

Exactly - it's near impossible to reinvent yourself at the ML level.  Players need the right environment and opportunity to make it happen.

[Jonn]

Holy f*** your 8 and 9 hitters get on with no outs and you accomplish absolutely nothing. Just weak and pathetic at-bats. Springer should be benched.

[Brownie19]

Congrats to Valenzuela.  Great way to start your career.

In trying to tell myself not to worry yet since they sucked bad last April too but it’s hard to see them swinging at ball 4 and not playing small ball since it’s what got them to game 7 of World Series to begin with 

[G-Snarls]

C'mon Barger 

Big moment 

[ComeTogether]

Let's go Bam Bam

[Smokinitup420]

Barger needs a grand slam to fix his s*** 

[neverbeenhere]

That one should have swung at

[Landry_25]

Allergic to walks 

[JaysFan99]

How many times have they left the bases loaded this week? 

[G-Snarls]

f*** sake 

[Stangstag]

Barger needs to calm down and work on that plate discipline like he had in the WS. Dude is swinging at everything (except hangers down the middle)

[neverbeenhere]

pathetic 

[gruber9292]

You can't make this s*** up 

[ComeTogether]

f*** 

[Stangstag]

Ugh man just no luck on some of these key moments right now

[Smokinitup420]

Looks like he wrenched his ankle too 

 

gotta just laugh at this point 

[SuperFuzzBigMuff]

Holy f*** how slow is Barger?!?

[Jonn]

This pitcher has no command and they keep swinging at s***

It's almost like they're pressing a little.  

[Smokinitup420]

Unless something clicks between now n tomorrow, the dodgers series is gonna be a laugher

[Slade]

My god, can we catch a break. Barger hurt now?

Yup, making him look better than what he is.

A little? 

[Slade]

And Lauer gives us 2IP. 

[neverbeenhere]

Lauer can no longer complain if he is not a starter

Better than 1.  It didn't look good in the first
