How is Bolsinger any better than Stripling? Bolsinger gave us some fool’s gold last year but he was a quad A player before he came to the Dodgers and he is still one today. He is a long relief pitcher at best.
Keki also has run out of rope and the Dodgers need to give someone else some MLB ABs. Walters and Culberson can play multiple positions. Hernandez isn’t even giving the team quality at bats.
The Dodgers are proving themselves to be a .500 team at best. Same woes. Pitching and hitting inconsistencies do not win Divisions or Pennants. I believe they’re batting around .230 as a team. I pick them as third place. We were trailing the Giants by just three games three days ago. We’re now trailing by six games, in fact, we’re getting closer to third place than first
Looking forward to next year already.
