Corbin Burnes vs Walker Buehler

Time for the offense to put up a big number.  

Time for Burnes to be good again

Really would be nice to see Burnes finally throw a dominant performance and the bats take advantage of a lousy pitcher for a change. The series win is very much for the taking tonight. 

If I have to choose, I'll take Burnes dominating and making 1-run stand up over him getting shelled again but the offense outslugging LA.

A laugher would be very cathartic.  9-1 O's or something.

Buehler is having a rough go in his 10 starts so far after missing last year; but he's previously been excellent, and is just 30. He should find success again.  Hopefully not tonight.

Extra day of rest for Burnes, so hopefully that helps.

5 days has been normal for him this year.  16 of his starts on 5-days rest and 3 on more than that.  Only 7 on 4-days rest.  His two most recent disasters were both on 5-days rest.

Yeah, I'm probably just grasping at straws.  He's really been lousy in August - 20 earned runs in 20.2 innings.

Curious, are they done with Kimbrel as a closer or is he still a project?

Dominguez threw thirty some pitches last night, I doubt he'd be avail to pitch tonight for the save.

Fuck!

Ohtani is just on a whole other planet...that was NOT a bad pitch.

Nice play by Jax...let's go.  Back on track, Burnsey!

Good finish to the inning...1 isn't a death sentence...

We start with 3 Ks. Dodgers start with Ohtani dinger.

Relaxxxxx....or go to bed.

Ramon!!!!!  AGain!!!!!  2-run double!!!

Gonna miss Jorge's speed, but Ramon either staying at 3rd or going to 2nd  when Westy comes back to rotate in with Westy, Jax....great combo!  Keep it up Ramon!

Keep Eloy on the headset!!!!  3-0...nice blooper for McCann the Man!
