Certainly an interesting lineup, especially with the off day tomorrow.
Miley has crappy luck.
Pineapple bomb ties it!
As fast as Mondesi it, he's probably safe on that regardless.Great job battling to K Dozier and keep the runner at 3B.
Wade's back!
Aaaaaand Judge Ks looking to end it.
Miley gives up a leadoff walk but that's it in the 6th.
At 95 pitches he's probably done. He can sleep well tonight.
Mother Tucker!
Tucker stock rising.Framber stock not so much. 2 2-out singles then a walk. A 2 out walk with a 10 run lead.
I have made no effort to hide my bias in favor of Tucker getting his chance, but has most of his production, so far, been off AAA pitchers that are up for a look @ KC? Looking forward to him facing more major league pitchers.
Weekend probables aren't available yet. But 7 of their last 10 are vs LAA, the other 3 vs Sea. So they're unlikely to see anything resembling Koufax in his prime.
The supposed quality of the opposing pitcher seems to have very little correlation to what the offense does. Sometimes they blitz very good pitchers, and sometimes they're completely ineffective against poor ones. They're kind of confounding in that way.
I'll take what I see this season over last season no matter what the circumstances.
Music to my ears, austro!
Anybody here read the baseball novels of the great John R. Tunis? In them the Dodgers best player is Roy Tucker--"the Kid from Tomkinsville." (Philip Roth borrowed this character for a cameo in The Great American Novel.) Anyway, Tucker's appellation quickly condensed to "the Kid." Given Kyle's age...why not?
