Everybody said the Blue Jays would be fatigued. Sure looked like the Dodgers offense was sleep walking. Been that way the last couple series. Pitching is gonna have to dominate if they want to win this thing.
Well, the way I see it, obviously if a team is gonna want to win the series the loser tonight will have to win the next two. I'm not confident the Dodgers can win two in a row on the road. The offense is struggling. Kike and Smith are the only ones hitting above their season average. With Kike its because his season average wasn't that good to begin with.To me every win is a must win. "Must" is a powerful word.
It at the very least will feel not good if they lose tomorrow.
I bet the Jay fans feel its a must win tomorrow as well.
Maybe more than us Dodger fans.
We were flat tonight all around.
Okay. Dave Roberts is smarter than I am.I'm gonna say this before anything happens. 110 pitches, 1st and 2nd 1 out.....and YOU LEAVE HIM IN?
Don't you think that's totally ignoring the pitching performance of Yesavage? I mean, come on, give the guy credit for making the Dodgers look heartless. 1 run; 2 hits, 0 BB, 12 Ks, 104 pitches; 71 strikes. Pretty impressive.Players just flat out didn't put in any heart these last 2 games. Too bad Roberts couldn't play and pitch for them he might have done something more than these guys.
Yesavage was unreal.Don't you think that's totally ignoring the pitching performance of Yesavage? I mean, come on, give the guy credit for making the Dodgers look heartless. 1 run; 2 hits, 0 BB, 12 Ks, 104 pitches; 71 strikes. Pretty impressive.
Blue Jays can hit and that was the one team I did not want to face. Oh well, maybe the Dodgers can find some magic on the road, but if not, time to retool a bit with the bullpen, LF & 3B as areas of opportunity.No options really, Vesia has made it even more difficult
Agreed, our pitching has been about what I would have expected. Starters are OK with Yami being outstanding so far.Blue Jays can hit and that was the one team I did not want to face. Oh well, maybe the Dodgers can find some magic on the road, but if not, time to retool a bit with the bullpen, LF & 3B as areas of opportunity.
They got enough left to win 2 games......Dodgers have the look of an aging team that is wearing down from the long, grueling season.
Not sure its lack of heart. To me they just have the look of a tired team.I’m certainly not ruling them out but there sure seemed to be a lack of heart over the past two games.
I sure hope they can get that energy back. And a .133 battling average ain’t going to get it done - especially when most of those few hits are coming with no one on base.
