Miller tried to blow it though

We really need Kershaw Snell and Ohtani to come back
They sent Miller down to work on his game. Brought him back up due to injuries. Looks like he still needs to work on his game. How long will they be patient with him? He's got good stuff. Upper 90's fastball. Curve and changeup. He just hasn't figured out how to use it. Will the light bulb ever come on for him? I wonder if they ever thought about bringing him out of the bullpen? Maybe one inning at a time might help.

Its a long season. A marathon. I always felt you never know how good or bad a team is until around mid June. Sometimes even longer. Dodgers started hot. Cooled off. Lost a couple series. Blew a couple 9th inning leads. But still with a winning record in April.

I just wish the guys on these programs would stop talking about most wins ever. I don't think that is goal. Winning another championship is the goal. If most wins ever happens then great. But its only a success if they win the championship.

I keep saying I want them to win 99 games and finish the regular season strong. I know it's just superstition but screw that 100+ win or most win thing. Just come into the playoffs healthy and playing good ball.

Yup. They won 98 last year. Thats a record that will win a division most times. And even get the top seed most times. Its all about being healthy at the right time. So far the pitching has had trouble with that. Roberts had to play a bullpen game a few days ago. And had to start two guys who weren't expected to be in the starting rotation. Yet, they're 18-10.

If guys come back and are healthy for the playoff run they'll have the deepest rotation in baseball. Yamamoto/Sasaki/Snell/Glasnow/Ohtani/Gonsolin/Kershaw. Casparius looked pretty good today. Could be a future starter. Glasnow is the one who concerns me the most. He had to exit all 4 games he started with various injuries. Injuries have been a problem for him most his career.

Not holding out much hope for Glasnow. Its been an problem with him his whole career. He wasn't available in the playoffs. But he still got himself a ring.

I still think he'll be alright. Maybe saving him for the end of the year is the way to go anyway....

I was looking at the two triples by Betts and Ohtani and both of them should have been caught.

I wouldn't want Freddy Sanchez to be my centerfielder if I was a Marlins fan.

However, Pages is not much better as a center fielder.

Damn this division is tough. We have the best record in the majors and we are only 1/2 game ahead of the Padres and 1 1/2 games ahead of the other dirties.

And then I look at the Yankee division and according to standings, they have the second worst division in baseball.

Okay - they moved Sanchez to RF and put Myers in center and he isn't any better lol
