The Dodgers were up late last night attempting to fend off the upstart Franciscans from San Diego. Blowing a 7-1 lead speaks to the reality of what Scott Rolen once referred to as the Big 162. If a team with all that front office excellence and Bel Air bling can play a middling .500 over their last 10 games, perhaps the Reds recent struggles aren’t as much about WHO they are, but WHERE they are right now.
The Game
A strike zone the size of an iPad put Tyler Mahle behind the 8-ball early in the first inning, resulting in a leadoff double for Mookie Betts.
