    Can Flaherty give us consecutive good starts?

    The dodgers have scored 18 runs in 3 games this series. That won’t cut it today. The lineup bailing out the pitching and D is a tall task vs Kershaw.

    Well, we’ve already achieved a series split. Anything else is gravy.

    It looks like OlliMo has fielded the best defense he can.

    What’s for din-din everybody?

    Mine is a ribeye steak in the air fryer, a couple ears of corn, some apple stuff/cobbler, and a glass or two of ice water. Then a couple of 7×50 Palma Real cigars whilst me and Whitey Herdog sit on the couch and take in the game.

    Think we will be going with spaghetti. Mrs Bike Mike made a big old casserole dish of it yesterday and baked it, as we had a bunch of family over. There is plenty leftover, and so we will likely dig into it again, with garlic bread and chopped salad as sides.

    I am not really a wine drinker, but might have some red wine with it, along with plenty of cold water.

    Go Cards!!

    On our lineup, I have not been impressed with Yepez. Seems to be usually over-matched.

    With the talent Gorman is showing, I would have him in there. Young, talented guys don’t need to be babied – they need to get the reps and learn how to handle everything at the big league level.

    NA “breaks up the no hit bid”.

    Uhm, he’s leading off the 2nd inning.

    Yepez has to be able to get the runner over to third with one down. Just put it in play to the right side. Give yourself up. Even a push bunt to the right. Getting the runner to third with less than two outs sets up the easy RBI chance. But he had no strategy to increase his chances. He employed the same swing he always employs. Pretty much all or nothing. Pitiful, but not his fault. He is the product of the system.

    Luckily Edman knocked in the run. But winners rely on skill rather than luck.

    Very simple fare today, oven-fried chicken, potato salad and snap beans, Maybe a bit later I’ll break out the Haagen dasz.

    Sorry to see the lead shrinking.

    And a balk by Verhagen. Can anyone play this game?

    Verhagen fails to inspire.

    Mercado making a bid for more playing time. O’Neill and Carlson might want to heal up fast.

    Liby to the rescue, I see. He’s young, he’ll get better.

    It would be helpful if O’Neill can ride the IL for a while. Maybe Carlson too.
