Good time for the FO manuevering to pay off
The Dodger front office has their hands all over this fifth game. Their top trade deadline acquisition will be starting and trying to prove that trading three pitching prospects for a blister on a hill was the right move. All Rich Hill has to do is what he did last Sunday but for more than twelve …
Remove the home ump
from making calls on balls and strikes? Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel took a look at it. While Major League Baseball claims that its umpires get nearly 97% of the calls right… Professor Moskowitz found that since 2013 the umpires are actually only about 88% accurate… that they get 1 out of every 8 calls …

Dodgers shut down Murphy
and that was about all they did right on Monday, losing to the Nationals 8 – 3 leaving them having to play must win baseball on Tuesday. On the pitching side, things went wrong from beginning to end. Starter Kenta Maeda made it three straight poor starts by the Dodgers, and Kenley Jansen had what …
Dodgers can’t score, Hill can’t finish
The story after three innings was Rich Hill setting a bizarre Dodger record. Hill recorded seven strikeouts in his first three innings something no other Dodger had ever done. The twitter and blogging world were agog with his success but it seemed that maybe they hadn’t noticed that Hill needed a Houdini double play to …
How important was winning game one?
According to the Dodgers pre=game notes for game two, pretty damn important.
