Tweets Of The Night: Dodgers Lose 6-2, What Is A Losing Streak?
Fresh off their first loss in their last 11 games, the Dodgers traveled to Miami to take on the lowly Miami Marlins. The Marlins just finished losing a series tot he Giants and have lost five of their last eight.
Dodgers rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu took his turn against Marlins rookie Jose Fernandez as the Dodgers looked to get back in the win column. Yasiel Puig was the center of attention before the game as several media pundits suggesting the Dodgers should bench him.
Puig made several base running and defensive errors against the Phillies, but made matters worse by supposedly screaming obscenities about the media prior the the game.
#Dodgers fall to the Marlins, 6-2. NL West lead remains 7.5 games. #whiff

PAPI! Juan Uribe (3-for-3) knocks in Andre Ethier with a stand up double. #Dodgers 2, Marlins 2. — Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 20, 2013
That looked like it hit Ethier right on the left knee cap. #HBP

Mattingly having a lengthy discussion with Hirschbeck about something before top of the fifth — Anthony Jackson (@dodgerscribe) August 20, 2013
Bases loaded with no outs, the #Dodgers score only one run. Better than most other times, but still. — Jimmy Bramlett (@JimmyBramlett) August 20, 2013
Puig so upset at John Hirschbeck that Hanley and Uribe had to escort him up the tunnel. Only the second strike was called.
— Anthony Jackson (@dodgerscribe) August 20, 2013
Juan Uribe scores on Carl Crawfords groundout — #Dodgers trail 2-1.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 20, 2013
Regardless, tonight figured to be an interesting game due to the pitching matchup and Puig. Let’s get to the best tweets from tonight.
The #Dodgers need to strike here. Right now.
— Jimmy Bramlett (@JimmyBramlett) August 20, 2013
#Marlins make a mind-numbing error fielding Ryu’s bunt attempt. Bases loaded, none out for #Dodgers.
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) August 20, 2013
Can we now remember that this is the Marlins, please?

Golden opportunity. 1st and 2nd 0 outs #WHIFF @Dodgers

Amazed Fernandez made it to the 14th spot in the 2011 draft.

Call of the #nohitteralert for Hyun-Jin Ryu. Jose Fernandez singles with two outs in the third inning. #Dodgers #Marlins
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) August 19, 2013
Jose Fernandez 2, Yasiel Puig 0. #Marlins #Dodgers

Hanley needs to start putting some mustard on those throws. #Sheesh
— Ryan Walton (@RyanWaltonMLB) August 19, 2013
Back-to-back gems from Carl Crawford then Mark Ellis — two down in the bottom of the 2nd, 0-0.
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 19, 2013
Carl Crawford’s late-night escapades didn’t stop him from making a great, sliding catch to rob Logan Morrison
— Anthony Jackson (@dodgerscribe) August 19, 2013
I’m hearing (and reading) about 14 different takes on what Puig said, and I wasn’t there. May never know exactly what it was
— Anthony Jackson (@dodgerscribe) August 19, 2013
#Dodgers leave runners on 1st and 2nd. Batters were hitting .171 against Jose Fernandez w/RISP coming into the game.
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) August 19, 2013
As tiny as this crowd is, the boos for Hanley Ramirez were fairly loud
— Mark Saxon (@markasaxon) August 19, 2013
First pitch, Yasiel Puig swings through a 97-mph Jose Fernandez fastball. 1-2, Puig pops out weakly beyond third base.
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) August 19, 2013
Looks like not even Yasiel Puig can bring people to Marlins Park.

Carl Crawford draws the leadoff walk. #ITFDB
