Their definitely gonna be in the playoffs. But I'd prefer one of those byes. I think they need a few days off to re-energize themselves. Sometimes they just have the look of a tired team. Skubal, Snell and Glasnow were all very good. Yamamoto too. I'm not worried about starting pitching. Its the bullpen that concerns me the most.

It will be interesting to see what our playoff pitching roster looks like.
 
Well, I guess Lauer last night was the Toronto version of Eric Lauer. At least they scored some runs. We'll see how Yamamoto does tonight. Probably gonna be a much lower scoring game for both teams.

I think if Ohtani is gonna be pitching I think he'll be a starter. Don't think it works with the DH coming out of the bullpen like when he starts. Question is, do they plan to use him as a pitcher at any point?

The bullpen has been struggling. A big reason for most the losses since Aug. 1. Gave up 3 in the 10th in last night's loss. Blew games that shoulda been won in Atlanta. I was hoping for a bye to give them some rest. They do look a little worn out. But if they wanna threepeat they're gonna have to dig deep and find that juice they had the last couple years.
 
Its nice to get a couple wins. Been tough lately. But man, that bullpen. Gave up another 3 runs in the 9th to make it interesting. Roberts has gotta find a couple guys who can get outs late in games. Not sure they can get that bye. Last year they didn't need it. But this year? I dunno.
 
Nice sweep of the Nats. I know they aren't one of the better teams but sweeps are hard no matter who it is. Hopefully they're getting their second wind now that its September. I believe the magic number for the Dodgers to clinch the division is 9. A combination of 9 Dodger wins or losses for the D-Backs or Padres. Don't know if they will get a bye, but clinching early could give more rest to the starters heading into the playoffs. I'd still prefer a bye.

Tucker with some defense tonight. Then it’s Mookie time!

Edman with the big hit the other night. Mookie last night. And the bullpen finally didn't give up runs in the 9th. Henriques looked good. Walked the leadoff batter but then two strike outs and a pop up. Whatever is going on with Diaz I hope he can get it fixed. Scott is ok in that closer role. Much better than last year. But he will blow the occasional save.

Is there a chance Ohtani doesn't pitch again? He is 32. It doesn't get any easier doing both, I'd think.

No. He will pitch again.

6 in a row for the fellas!!!

Yama for the sweep tonight....

Dont let the Back to back champs get hot!!!!
 
They're 4 games ahead of Atlanta for the second seed and a bye. The division is a foregone conclusion. The magic number is 6 with 16 games left. Could clinch it some time next week. Looks like they might be getting their second wind now. I was worried they were tiring out and would struggle down the stretch.

Roberts knows how to manage the work load. Freeman and Ohtani are nursing injuries. Which is ok. Guys like Edman and Kike haven't played as much so they're fresher. Rojas is seeing a little more playing time. Smith was out for a long time. He's got some time to get into a groove at the plate.

Tucker has struggled all year. Roberts have been giving him a very long leash to break out of it. Maybe he should sit for a week or so and reset. Maybe it will change his perspective at the plate.
