After the big moves, the Dodgers swept the Pirates but you are supposed to do that. They dropped the first game against the Phillies but considering they were down 5-0 getting the game into overtime was quite an accomplishment.
Gagne got hit hard in his 2nd inning of work. You have to wonder if he was out of gas. He had 3 innings on Sunday then more work on Tuesday and Wednesday then Friday night they trotted him out there for an inning and then asked for another. On the other hand, if there wasn't a throwing error, the whole situation would have been different.
Tonight, the Dodgers took it to the Phillies *but* Brazoban gave up a run and then Dreifort gave up two and the call came for Gagne to get the last out. Without Mota, the bullpen *is* weaker and its showing already with an earlier in the week loss late in the game and Gagne running out of gas Friday night and tonight's 3 runs in 2 innings of work by the pen.
Meanwhile, what of Ishii? He has has several bad outings in a row and so beyond Perez, Weaver and Penny what do they have? So far Lima has been amazing and we can hope the wily vet can continue to do the amazing. Ishii may be the odd man out if the Dodgers can get Alvarez to spot start until Jackson or Nomo is back on line.
The 3rd game with the Phils is Sunday and I'm going to be there. Upper Reserve Section 25.
Go Dodgers!
