For all of the problems the Dodgers have had lately, there's one part of their roster that's been unilaterally excellent: the rotation. Even in their worst losses, their starting pitchers have been totally exempt from criticism. The same cannot be said for everyone else.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto has more reason than any Dodgers starter to be critical of his teammates. Going into his Thursday appearance against the Giants, the offense had given him just eight runs of support in his last three outings and he was slapped with no-decisions for all of them despite giving the team between 7 and 8 2/3 innings and giving up just three runs in those starts.
