In case you missed yesterday’s column, the theme of the story surrounded the sputtering offense of the Dodgers, although we did reflect on how it seemed that other areas of the club sometimes have tendencies to under-perform on any given day.
Friday evening was a good example. Lefty starter Hyun-Jin Ryu threw well enough to earn the victory and the offense seemingly put enough runs on the board to seal the win. However, on this particular night, the bullpen had another implosion which resulted in the Dodgers walking away with yet another loss.
