14-1 seems almost impossible. Sheesh.

[Jopal78]

The Dodgers have won a lot of games as a team, and typically they have scored for Gonsolin. In 10 of his 14 wins the Dodgers scored 5 or more runs.

14-2 after tonight!  

Lauer Power!

[Brewcrew82]

Time for Lauer to resume his historical dominance against the Dodgers. 

[willie key]

Phillies definitely wanted to get out of Cincinnati quick today

Yeah. He's been terrific but 14 wins in the middle of August, in this day & age that's real throwback stuff. Not to mention only one blemish.

 

[Jim French Stepstool]

A bunch of BP guys who worked 1 inning yesterday while not working Monday. BP should be in decent shape.

Major props to Renfroe last night for making himself tough to guard in the 11th, to borrow a hoops term. Sometimes we settle for way too many 3-point shots.?

 

[folly412]

?  Why is Cousins still on rehab assignment again?

[Brewcrew82]

Looks like we're seeing the "weaker" Dodgers lineup tonight. Of course, that's still with Betts, Turner, and Freeman hitting 1-3...

RHP Trevor Kelley recalled from Triple-A Nashville.

RHP Jason Alexander optioned to Triple-A Nashville.

So glad we've been DFAing relief pitchers who actually have a chance of being competent to keep Trevor Kelley.  Maybe they need a refresher in roster management 101.

What happened to gustave

[CdrbrgMark]

Oh great, Keston DHing tonite. At least it's a RHP. Looks like Dodgers have lots of hits & HRs, Brewers pretty much nothing. Otta be a fun game, haha.

Why is the DH position such a big deal to you? Counsell has had some of the grittiest battlers in the DH spot during interleague play in previous years. 

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the Brewers don't really have a true DH on their roster, though Hiura is as close as it should get since he doesn't have a home in the field.

It’s really starting to bother me how good the dodgers have become at developing their own players instead of just buying everyone and failing.  

[HarryDoyle]

Two batters into the game and we already have a mound visit.

[mtrebs]

Two leadoff walks. This game is likely over already.

13-2 this month without Kershaw or Buehler.  Must be nice.

And Dustin May returns for the first time since he blew out the UCL against us last season to make his season debut Saturday.  He might be the best starter they have.

Wow… the likelihood of getting out of that couldn’t have been high. Nice job by Lauer.

Nice jinx lol

[folly412]

About as close to it seeming like it could be game over in the first inning while still putting up a zero.

[mtrebs]

Yeah, although the game is still likely over, by not from that inning, lol. 

[Pesky Johnny]

Gutsy first inning from Lauer.  Strength of character on display.

Why even watch if you're gonna be this pessimistic?
