Dodger got some pitching going on though. He might get another crack at it the way this team is rolling.

GO BLUE !!

3-9 their last 12. 92-44 with 26 games remaining. Surely they win 100-105, maybe more. But three weeks ago, it looked like they'd win 120. Funny how baseball is so funny. Gotta love baseball with the long season and so many changes.

Man, the Dodgers have turned a complete 180 the past couple weeks. It could be because they put it on cruise control. But sometimes that switch can be hard to turn back on. They've lost ten games in the standing to the D-Backs. I'm sure they built a big enough lead to hold on. But the way things have gone the past couple weeks, I have a bit of a concern it could be the most epic collapse of all time.

If that happened I couldn't see them recovering for a long time. The pitching and hitting all went into a slump at the same time. Even Kershaw couldn't be a stopper. He got toasted yesterday.

Magic number is 11. Still in control.

What is stunning is the fact they've lost 14 games in the last 16 days and their previous 14 losses occurred in almost 3 months (85 days), over 72 games (58-14). Talk about Bizarro World.

1-15 from August 26th to September 10th? At what point is it a concern? Ahhh. San Francisco next up on the schedule. All is good.

Well, they couldn't break out of it against the Giants. Man, what a crazy season. A stretch of wins I've never seen in my nearly 50 years of being a Dodger fan followed by a stretch of losses I've never seen. I gotta think the lead was so big they can't blow it. But man, they sure wanna make it interesting.

Another concern is the pitching. What was once the best overall rotation with starting and bullpen can't get anybody out now. Most times the starter gives up multiple runs in the first inning. Then the hitting decides to go through a collective slump. Crazy year for sure.

You have to go strong into the playoffs. Roberts is a solid manager and should have them prepared but our pitching staff needs to be feelin' it...

I was a little worried about clinching so early and not fighting to the end for playoff spot. Sometimes you can lose momentum. But they seemed to pick up where they left off when the games were still important. They get a little rest for the Cubs/Nationals winner. Both those teams have solid playoff rosters. But I think we're in better shape than we were last year in the NLCS. Should be a good matchup whoever they play.

Great win last night. A big key was Cody Bellinger playing like he did back when we were all world.

We smacked around a 93 win team. Also home field through out with our best record. These guys look to have that mojo and I won't be surprised to win the pennant ,, at least...

GO LA DODGERS
