Kershaw comes through huge tonight and Teoscar with the clutch hr!

Great win! We needed that!

Gut check time has come early this year.

Max out for a couple of weeks.
Is the oblique considered part of the gut?

Gonsolin out again indefinitely.
No word on what kind of salad got him.

An actual serviceable Kershaw is monumental. Glassnow, Snell, Yamamoto, Kershaw, and Ohtani/Sheehan is a super formidable starting staff. In the playoffs.

Blake Snell tonight versus Dylan Cease.
Of the Padres Blake has faced, only Luis Arraez has hit him well.
Oddly, Cronenworth, Tatis, and Merrill have not, which should give Snell the advantage with them.
Ohtani, Freeman, and Conforto have hit well versus Cease.

Kershaw was clutch yesterday. They really needed a solid start and he delivered.

This would give them so many options come playoffs. There should not be a need to start anyone on short rest.

Great to see the Dodgers give Buddy Kennedy a chance since he's toiled away in the minors for us all these years...oh wait...he sucks and he's brand new to the organization. Ryan Ward should just go postal at this point

Weird game early.
LA with 5 runs on 6 walks, 1 hit, and an error.
Padres with no runs on 5 hits with 3 caught stealing.

why do Dodgers fans hate Manny Machado so much?

Not sure, but i think it has to do with him signing with the Padres after being traded to the Dodgers at the trading deadline from Balt in 2018. He was being touted as the Dodger 3'rd baseman of the future.

Nice one for Snell and the bullpen.

Now up 7-2 versus the Padres, the Dodgers have actually won a season series, which might be their first one won against any of the other NL playoff contenders.

Glasnow pitches Sunday.

He's always taking smack against the Dodgers and their fans...

saying that he would bet his 300 million dollar+ salary that the Madres would win a title before LA, LOL

then saying the Dodgers better hope Tatis wasn't hurt after a hit by pitch in the last series...like he's going to
do something

...and he's basically been a douche since he came into the league

My favorite part of tonight's game was watching Will cut the Madres down at second, what tools.

Must be pretty strange for Buddy Kennedy, playing for his 6th team in only his 62nd MLB game, to be in the batter's box in a huge series and also see Shohei Ohtani in the on-deck circle.

5 doubles and a homer for the Padres to creep back in after LA's two homer, 4 run 1st inning.

Yup, turns out it was Vesia, with a BIG assist from Mookie Betts.

Great return to form this weekend, even with Minor Leaguers comprising the bottom third of the order.
Hopefully, there's no letdown versus Colorado, 4 games starting tomorrow.

Ryan Ward notably doesn’t play third base.

Fantastic job by the dodgers putting the uppity Padregs back in their box.

Bullpen remains a concern. Hopefully Yates and Scott can make it back. Treinen for sure has the will. Not sure if his body lets him be the man for the rest of the years into the playoffs. Our starting pitching is so stacked, we have six starters. Maybe someone goes to the pen for the playoffs.
