Popout ends the inning. JP Howell comes in to close out the game. Goldie hits a double to start the inning
The Offense Awakens. I was worried for a moment that we would just not be a good road team. Welp, 3 homers later and practically a shutout (minus the error and defensive indifference), and once again I am a believer. But get this, tomorrow it's Wily vs Wieland, and Thursday it's Fiers vs Frias.
14 runs today! Grandal now batting over .300! Pederson leading the NL in homeruns! Crap, Todd Frazier just hit one. Oh well, Gonzo and Pederson each with 9 dingers! Wow. Now, I can't believe the idea of trading Puig has been going around (maybe just made up by fans and "journalists"). I suppose if we're winning and we have a surplus of hitters, it would make sense to get a solid ace since Kershaw has been struggling, Greinke will obviously opt out, Ryu is out indefinitely, and the back end of the rotation is all question marks. Still, I have to say no simply because Puig is a 5-tool perennial all-star for many years to come and has so much value to our team, despite some of his inconsistencies and baserunning mishaps. Also, Frias has looked good as our potential #3 or #4, and I still think Bolsinger and Zach Lee can fill out the rotation. Wieland, too, should get another shot. It's amazing we have this many wins with our battered rotation, yet the Nationals with the best rotation on paper in years is sitting around .500.
OK... I got some sit down time and stream... So lets see some Dodgers baseball. We are sitting bottom 2. LA 2- 0 Co. 1 on and 2 outs
here we are bottom 4. Guerrero mishandles a single into L then misfires to allow Tulo to score. We get out of the inning but Dodgers only up 2-1. Rain started coming down again but they need to get through 5 to make it official.
ugh.. playing in a downpour. We walk a guy, he steals 2nd. Next guy grounds to 2nd and is safe. Agon guns it home. play at plate called out to end inning. Rockies challenge.... tick tock tick tock. If he is safe then game is tied. If he is out they probably call the game and we get the win.
Rollins gets a walk taken away with a bad strike call on the 3-0 count. Turner gets hit, Agon hits a single. Grandal up with 1 down and 2 on. Grandal hits liner. Guerrero up bases juiced
