With Ohtani being nearly fully stretched out, I guess that moves Wrobo to a full long relief role. The pen sure is thin as is the corner infield position. Need some combo of Kim, Keeks, Scott, Kopech to get back and be right. Treinen looked better yesterday but still can go either way it seems.

The team played with a bit of a chip on their shoulder tonight, don't think they were happy about taking that L yesterday. Teo had a little extra pep in right field too, it seemed like.

Absolutely have to have these games versus the Rockies.
LA has just 2 left with Colorado, but San Diego still gets them for 7.
Dodgers do still get 6 games with the Giants who have been fairly listless lately versus San Diego. Hopefully, that's the team the Dodgers encounters in September and not one motivated by the long-standing rivalry that currently has the Giants with a 3 game lead over the Dodgers, all-time.
That's right, in there 2,586 meetings, the Giants franchise has won 1,286 times versus the Dodgers' 1,283 wins. (Apparently, they've had 17 ties.)

Ohtani pitches tonight. Maybe he can finally get that first win as a Dodger pitcher.

Er, wouldja believe Shohei's first loss as a Dodger?
ERA, albeit with a limited sample of innings pitched, currently sits at 4.61.
Ohtani is also out for at least tomorrow's game, to go with that.

1 game lead.
35 to play.

Well, going into the last weekend's series vs. San Diego, LA was 1 down.
Going into this weekend series, they're 1 up.
What could go wrong?

1 hit against Nester Cortes is pathetic.

This lineup should be the modern version of Murderer's Row, instead they make washed up nobodies look like Cy Young winners.

Let's face it, this Dodgers offense is playing like a bunch of overpaid, under-performing bums, with Conforto leading the way. I hope Ward makes it to another team, and makes the Dodgers pay every time he plays them.

At least the pitching has been good thus far against the Madres.

We’re very lucky that the wild card race is garbage. We won’t win the division, but we’ll be in the post season.

This is not a sure thing at this point.
Stranger things have happened.

A win today would be big, though.
At least the young players are getting some playoff-type experience here, and maybe that will help down the line.

Bats finally come alive. Against the vaunted Padres bullpen no less. And Yamamoto just as steady as always. Huge win!

All even with San Diego. 31 games to play.

LA has Reds and D'Backs at home for the next 6.
Then 6 against the Pirates and Orioles on the road.
Then home versus the Rockies for 3, then 3 in San Fran
Then LA is home for versus the Phillies and San Fran for 7
Finally, it's 6 with D'Backs and Mariners on the road.
Hopefully, Seattle already has their spot clinched or else is out of it.

Maybe the Rockies can put up a fight in their 7 upcoming games versus the Padres and win a few of them. Besides Colorado, Padres still have the Mariners, Twins, Orioles, Reds, Mets, White Sox, Brewers, and D'Backs for 3 game sets.

Looking good for Kershaw to get to 9-2 tonight after another solid effort.
5ip, 1 run, 6k's, ERA down around 3.

SD is in a slugfest with Seattle.
Maybe the Mariners can come out on top.

Padregs lose today. Ohtani going for the Dodgers tonight in an early 540 game. Would be a good night for a win and picking up a game on the Padregs.

In the first two innings, Ohtani struck out 5 and Lodolo struck out 4.
These fellas are swingin' and a missin'. Unfortunately, that took Shohei 45 pitches and Nick only 21.

Yep, and these quick innings aren't giving Ohtani much of a breather either.

The Dodgers quick-hitting approach plus Lodolo throwing strikes is a bad combination.
