Los Angeles Dodgers v. San Diego pAAAdres

[lasportzphan]

This is an important bounce back series. If we lose this series, Giants will find themselves in the hunt with renewed vigor down the stretch. With Sandoval getting fatter, Peavy returning to his old NL West form, Pagan back, Belt back - no sense in giving that team life.

So as long as Sandoval is pounding the Ho-Ho's, we need to win ball games as he stuffs his pie-hole and returns to his old form.

Pablo Fatoval reaches MVP form around the 350 lb mark.

 

[lasportzphan]

3-0 Padres early... 4 losses in a row? Uh oh

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Strikeout if you have to AJ.

Sac fly, more than I expected. Dodgers have not had a n extra base hit with the bases loaded since the Clinton administration.

 

[lasportzphan]

Coarrhea giving one right back. Jamey Wright warming up... Means I might be going to bed early.

 

[lasportzphan]

Crawford and Kemp show.... This would be a great win.

 

[LASports96]

Much needed win after a good comeback! #ILoveLA

I'm worried about Greinke, though... Mattingly said he would comment tomorrow on his situation and weather he will still making his start on Thursday.

I hope it's nothing big, if they have to rest him for a few weeks, I'm fine with that, just as long as he can pitch in October.

Peavy returning to his old NL West form

lol

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Greinke will be fine.

 

[lasportzphan]

lol

Maybe you're not feeling so clever after all.

There may be no October for the Dodgers if Greinke misses significant time or is affected by his elbow. Couple Greinke's elbow issue with Ryu's leg and the woeful back end of the rotation and you definitely have an issue. Kershaw can't pitch every day and won't win every game he starts. In short, there is concern brewing in Dodgers Land.

Plus, the BP will probably see more action and that might not be a pretty sight.

Let's hope things work out, but there are definite concerns afoot.

I don't think these are new revelations. This team has been walking a fine line for a long time. If the starting pitching falls apart (appears to be the case), you are absolutely correct that this team could implode.

 

[lasportzphan]

Well, this is it. Bottom 7 and three runs down. Basically bottom of the 9th.

 

[lasportzphan]

Aj Ellis GIDP to end the game (after lead off runner gets on). Three and a half games up. Let's win the series tomorrow!

Meh, I'm willing to see the Dodgers lose a few series in order to ensure a healthy Greinke for the playoffs.

Battle of the aces tomorrow. Padres will take the rubber match.
