He's hitting around .190, Murphy isn't much better but he is right handed.

You gotta be kidding. More runners in scoring position with less than 2 outs left on base. Unreal.

The good news is Wood is at 81 pitches and the Dodgers bullpen is tired. Also, Corbin is throwing a no-no.

Avila sucks. Couldn't catch the foul tip or keep that one in front of him.

'Doesn't come through at-bat. Doesn't come through defensively. And the game is now tied.

He was brought here to be the starting Catcher. But if he can't handle it, why isn't Murphy given a chance?

Avila.... What the hell do Hazen and Tory see in this guy??? [emoji35][emoji35]
John Ryan Murphy needs to start. He’s shown me that he can be a good defensive catcher and is by far the best hitter of the three. Mathis should stay. Avila is garbage.

Is Corbin melting down with his control? If so, I hope the Yankees are watching.

Patrick's fast ball can't hit 90 and the Dodgers are not fishing for anything else. Bases loaded for the second inning in a row.

But he got their best hitter Kemp to hit into a force out and it's still tied at 1-1.

This game is incredibly frustrating to watch.

The only argument I can think of would be the second best team ERA in the MLB.

I 100% agree that Avila is garbage, I'm just trying to think of what possible justification they could have for keeping him out there. Apparently the pitchers like him.

Is that worth a .150 hole in the lineup? Idk, we're winning. I'm just thinking out loud here. I dont like having him out there, but yeah,,, idk man...

And that's how you drive in a run. Not sure I've seen us hit a sac fly all year.

And the pipsqueak Silvano Bracho comes in with the bases loaded ... and hits a batter. 3-1.

Then a wild pitch and it's 4-1.

Our three closers are sensational. Our middle relief sucks!
