    Just watched the game and gotta say, - The home plate Ump was horrendous! - Kelly giving up 3 staright dingers to start the game… what??? Just can’t be doing that this time of year! - This team is so damn gritty… - But without our big 3, we are no match for LA and the Padres. - If I were...

    Naw… Kershaw is an old 36 year-old. Gallen just turned 29 two weeks ago. Gallen has a shot to be great. Kershaw will never be great again.

    Without Marte, Walker and Moreno, the margin for error is nil. Even when it comes to decision-making… Torey won’t say it, but his use of Sewald instead of Ginkel BETTER have been a Scicilian Kiss! Sewald better be gone for the year.

    Yep… unless this is Torey literally cementing Sewald’s demise. I can see that happening. I can Torey using this as the final straw and convincing Hazen and Hall to end it with Sewald. In other words - a Scilian Kiss!

    This might be Torey giving Sewald the Scilian Kiss…

    If that ball was just 6 inches higher… tie game. Ugh!!

    Mantiply lets up the run on a wild pitch AND strikes out Ohtani. Damnit!

    Can’t say I’m a fan… but he got the next two guys to set up Mantiply vs Ohtani.

    That’s a reasonable guess! His luck has turned in the wrong direction as of late! :(

    Gallen somehow gets it to the 6th. Gutsy performance!

    Gallen is Grinding! And gotta say - the job Torey and his entire staff are doing with this team, after ALL the injuries… to get this team mentally ready to compete every inning of every game… and to then have them produce. Amazing… If we can somehow get our guys to stay healthy more often, I...

    He’s hitting 95-96mph regularly. And his off speed pitches have a ton of movement. He’s got get back to the mindset he had late last year…

    It’s not his arm. In fact, his arm is extremely live! It’s all about the 6 inches between his ears…

    Another lefty to face... However, Kershaw isn't what he used to be and won't be as nearly as tough for our lefty hitters as Manea and Peterson just were with the Mets!

    I know we've kicked this topic around quite a bit already... I trust Torey and believe there are very sound, solid reasons why Puk hasn't yet been relied upon as the closer. Maybe we'll one day hear those reasons. However, it wouldn't be uncommon if we never find out as some things like this...

    I haven't heard Torey's post-game presser... but I wouldn't be surprised if this was his plan today... Using J-Mart in the 9th in a tie game and if we took the lead, using Puk as the closer. Didn't get that chance unfortunately.

    Yep... Unless you're the Dodgers, no other team can effectively plan to lose 3 of the best right-handed bats in the line-up all at the same time. Lefties are gonna kill us until Walker, Marte and Moreno return.

    Not sure about J-Mart being brought in in a non-save situation... I can understand Torey trying to get him used to pitching in pressure situations, but I think I would've preferred to save J-Mart strictly for the save opportunity...

    Didn't say he was blocking the plate. But the new rule has made it confusing, especially for a rookie who's head is swirling with a zillion thoughts, to make quick decisions about where to stand when there is a play at the plate. That tag wasn't a case of "lolly-gagging," as much as it was -...

    With a win today, no matter what the Dodgers do today, the Snakes would be playing for the top spot in the division this weekend!
