The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres played yet another tight series (in what’s sure to be a long line of them) this weekend, but on Monday morning, the focus was not on LA’s series loss.
Nor was it centered on the Dodgers bullpen’s blown 7-1 lead, or Kenley Jansen’s dominant ninth on Saturday, or Joe Musgrove looking mortal in the early innings of the finale.
