It's a long season, we know this...and we know we can't win 'em all. That said, last night's shut-out loss to the Giants showed the problem the Dodgers have in filling that gap.
A parade of minor-league talent will be taking that position. Last night was Justin Sellers...and if there was a 1-man loss, here's a stat line for you:
2 AB
0 H
1 K
2 E
So after personally (and I mean that in the most literal sense) putting the Dodge down 3 runs, Donny Yankees chooses Nick Punto in the 8th. Nick will "pinch hit." He came to the plate, the crowd said nothing, and here's the sequence:
Ball
Strike looking
Foul into the dirt
Ball
Strike out looking
Did you expect anything different? The Dodgers were blinded by Giant pitching last night, and it can happen against most anyone. But when you're giving up runs due to lack of ability, you're screwed either way. Sellers, I'd be saving those checks big time until Han Ram returns. Maybe you could own a sports bar or something...maybe a car wash?
