Dodgers News: LA Shakes Up Lineup, Bellinger Breaks Ribs, Lux Hurt From Pitching Machine & More
It was another successful weekend for the Dodgers who traveled to Cincinnati and took two out of three from the Reds, improving their record in series this season to 32-12-4. After dropping the first game of the three game set, Dave Roberts shook up LA’s batting order by moving Corey Seager back to the two hole and moving Max Muncy to the cleanup spot. The lineup tweak helped the Boys in Blue average 6.5 runs per game in the final two contests of the series. We discuss why this shakeup was long overdue and why it’s going to lead to a more consistent offense moving forward.
Next, Cody Bellinger can’t seem to catch a break this season. We learned over the weekend that the former MVP suffered a fractured rib in a collision with Gavin Lux in the outfield during LA’s series vs. the Diamondbacks. We discuss Cody Bellinger’s latest injury and who will be manning the outfield in his absence for LA. Plus, how Gavin Lux suffered an injury after getting hit by a pitch from a pitching machine.

Scherzer , without a doubt….! Not only can he pitch but his intensity and the fast way he works will have the batters off balance when they face him…
I’ve never heard of an injury from a pitching machine.
I think Lux was taunting the machine so it threw at him!
I think Roberts used the pitching machine injury as a forefront and reason to sit Lux in the future to allow bellinger a excuse to come back to the line up.
Lux played the very next day. Which leads me to think that you just like thinking the very worst about people whom you don’t know but you don’t like. Which is exactly what the internet is for. Oh, what fun.
And since Lux played the very next day it validates my theory doesn’t it?
Given how many times Dodger batters have been getting hit by opposing pitchers this season it seems inevitable that the pitching machines would start doing the same thing ; )
Lol’s 55…..Lux has been outstanding, let’s hope someone is smart enough to keep him in there…
