    And that is ball game... Boy we just didn't look like we could do anything this game. First time Dodgers been under 500 since Jun 2013. Lets not make that a habit.

    True, but thankfully it's early on. If we're .500 by July, then I'll be worried. Don't we always wait until June before we start winning games? Not a great habit, but oh wells.

    At least we have Collmenter's number, so hopefully we get back to .500 tomorrow!

    Yea I am not worried it was just a crazy stat that we hadn't been under in 2 years. I like that. We still have some getting use to each other to get through. I think losing 2 third basemen in 2 straight plays hurt us and having Kersh not be able to get control of his pitches early hurt us. We had some guys get some solid hits on the ball but didn't get any luck out in the field today. It was just odd. We lose this series though so that sucks. Hopefully we bounce back tomorrow!

    Well we're a work in progress, but the biggest concern is the pitching... Yikes.

    Also how about that Guererro kid eh?? Last season he looked like a huge bust. Nice solid game from him AND the winner winner chicken dinner.

    Wow, we tied last season's win total in terms of winning after being down in the 6th inning. I can see that confidence; we know we can win any game.

    Oh, and is it too early to give Joc Pederson a gold glove? Dude is unreal out there on defense!

    I think "sucks" is a bit harsh real. I don't think overall they are dominant and we could definitely use some more solid pieces especially at closer but I think they aren't bad. I don't see them giving up more than 4 runs a game on average. Now that may seem high but I actually expect us to average 5 runs a game over the season provided everyone stays healthy. The pitching won't hurt as bad because we have guys who will come up when we have chances to score runs. I see this team as much more dangerous than last years squad on offense. Kersh and G won't have to be perfect to get wins in my opinion. So far with pitching not being super strong we have won 2/3 series and have a sweep in one of them. I like what I am seeing so far. Still some work to be done for sure but not to bad to start the season.

    Kersh gives up the line-drive homer to Tulo and then damn near gets drilled by the come-backer by rosario. 1 out and 1 on
