Pre-deadline though, and pretty much entirely on the back of Clippard.

Not really. It was throughout the season. They should've won the division last year. Even after the Khanle and Robertson trade.

They shouldn't even have an 8th RP. You can't be using that guy in a close game...

Edit: Stanton in LF is not going to work out...

They can't hit the worst pitching staff in baseball.

CC is hurt.

Wade and Drury are hurt.

No one in the bullpen can get anyone out.

I love CC but signing him was a huge loving mistake for a team that refused to spend money during the offseason. Injury prone and can't pitch more than 4 or 5 innings a game. It's also looking like refusing to give up Andujar as part of a package for Cole is gonna bite Cashman in the rear end.

There is a limit to how much of a mistake a 1 year contract can be...


It would also be nice if Gary Sanchez wasn't hitting 50.

At least none of the injuries seem awful (other than maybe CC). Drury had migraines and blurred vision, Wade has the flu, Sanchez had cramping in his leg .

everyone died last night and it's not too great! already had to call up two AAA arms to cover for the depleted pen and CC's injury

thank goodness for decent depth; I'm most concerned about Drury's migraines out of all the injuries tho

What is the over/under on innings pitched by Sonny Gray today.. 4.33?

I dunno where everyone's gotten the idea that Gray can't go deep into games; he's gone six or more innings in 90 of his 124 career starts, are those last six starts he made really more indicative of who he is now than before? let's be serious people!

Hard to believe they went from a stacked lineup with Walker and Drury in the 7/8 spots to this in 10 days. This looks like one of those split squad lineups from spring training.

Lol, they’re gonna get shut out the rest of the game after putting up 5 runs on possibly the worst starting pitcher in baseball.

I loving hate hate hate booing your own players but Stanton earned it today.

(The Dodgers are 2-6 as of this post and how many of us think they're going to finish 4th in the NL West? Just trying to keep perspective on a 5-5 start.)
