Why not double switch if we are going Newk. I guess we don’t have any righties on the bench. But we jus burned one or lefties for one hitter.

Good job. Let's mark it a tie and call it a day.
That was better. Still, 2-0 lead to 2-2.
2 runs was never going to win this game.Quote:

Facing the nl ERA leader and the nls best offense. I'd consider that a win so far.Quote:

i am guessing no Blevins tonight as he has pitched three in his last four. So using him last night could cost us tonight.
Cuz Newk is hitting. This is a bad move. We are burning Newk for tomorrows game. Martin and Ryu up next. Use one of our righties against them. We have a 9 man pen at the moment. Maybe we bring up Minter if we burn Newk and Blevins tonight.Quote:

Of course. It's been a good game so far. Dodgers are a powerhouse team.Quote:

To me the Dodgers vs Braves reminds me of the Astros and Braves of the late 90s. A really good team vs a juggernaut.
J....D
The ump has stopped calling pitches strikes that are a foot outside to right handed hitters--at least for now.
