Luckily, a Double by the kid, Cory Seager, and a home run by Turner in the top of the 3rd would keep us in the game!

cant remember the last time the dodgers have won on a sunday when playing on espn. also last batters in the ninth need to go
Put together a nice package of Puig and a few prospects and go get another true solid arm for the starting rotation. His trade value is up due to his new attitude. He’s got huge upside and a team friendly contract. I wish he’d hit but I’m over the experiment. I’m sure there are a few teams out there that would take that deal.
