Dodgers Tigers Series Review

Another showing of mediocrity. Thank God it's the All Star break.

All I can say is, thank God it’s the All Star break. Despite being 56-40, with a 7 game lead in the NL West, the first half of the season was a nightmare of injuries and mediocre play. Disgusting bullpen effort in another series L. 13-14 to end the first half is gross, I’m glad I don’t have to watch them for the next week. Banish Yohan Ramirez forever, PFP practices for the next week, buddy. Now go get some pitching and a MIF please.

What I Loved:

• Sho-time Ohtani

  • Tied the first half record for most XBH of any Dodger, and was our Savior in Game 1. How can you not love the guy?

• Brent Honeywell

  • Got his first Big League start as a Dodger and actually threw great. 3 strong innings and picked up 2Ks. Would love to see him in the bullpen in the second half

What I was Mid About:

• Gavin Lux

  • Actually has been swinging it much better over the last few weeks, still not a fan but if he’s somewhat productive I’ll take him as a bench bat. Still way better than the rest of platoon guys they’ve been rolling out, so I’ll lay off him this week.

What I Didn’t Love:

• The Bullpen

  • I’ll be honest, the bullpen sucks. Has been the bottleneck over the last handful of seasons and they never make a change. Blew a 5 run lead in game 1, and game 3. 

• Yohan Ramirez 

  • You should be banished to the shadow realm for his PFP performance. Field your damn position.

• Chris Taylor

  • Time to hang ‘em up Chris. In the lineup every day because we have not acquired anyone to take the spot. Go get a MIF.

• James Outman

  • Has 8 K’s in his first 14 PA since being called back up. I think the experiment is over. Either send him down or don’t put him in the lineup.

• The Training Staff?

  • Yamamoto gets added to the 60-day IL and Dustin May is done for the year with esophagus surgery. WTF is going on behind the scenes?
