The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Chicago White Sox, 8-4, on Wednesday night, losing a game they had absolutely no business dropping.The Dodgers led 4-2 in the top of the eighth inning, but a massive collapse from the bullpen turned into another tough loss.The Dodgers had some questionable decision-making in how they were using their guys, but MLB pitchers should be able to get outs.
Dave Roberts: 'Too Much Emphasis' On Dodgers Closer Role
The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the top records in the National League but some of their early-season struggles and recent losses are directly traced to a bullpen group that typically has been an area of strength for the team.In recent seasons, the Dodgers bullpen has been regarded as a unit that possesses a number of quality and versatile options.

Giants Vs. Dodgers Game Preview: Rookie Phenom Bobby Miller Starts Opposite Alex Wood
After a disappointing loss to the San Francisco Giants, the Los Angeles Dodgers send out rookie Bobby Miller against Alex Wood in his return from the 15-day injured list.Despite six innings of no-hit ball from Emmet Sheehan in his MLB debut, the Dodgers bullpen could not hold the lead and they lost in 11 innings.
After winning a thrilling back-and-forth affair Monday's series opener, the San Francisco Giants will look for a valuable road series victory today against the St. Louis Cardinals.The good news is that if they fail, they'll get a second chance tomorrow.The better news is that if they succeed, they can go for a sweep tomorrow.
It's once again time for a new series.The last time the San Francisco Giants were on the road, they earned a sweep.And the last time they faced the St. Louis Cardinals, they won three games.Ergo, they should sweep this three-game road series against the Cardinals ... right?That's my math and I'm sticking to it.
The St. Louis Cardinals usually have had just one losing season in the 21st century (2007), and in that season, their record through 66 games (30-36) was still better than their 2023 record through 66 games (27-39).This is their worst record at this point of the season since 1995, when the team finished 62-81 in a strike-shortened year.
It's time for a new series, and the San Francisco Giants are back at home to try and build on their momentum after sweeping the Colorado Rockies.They've got a good opponent to help them in that quest, as they're facing a Chicago Cubs team that has lost four straight games.Roster note: the Giants initially had J.D. Davis playing third base and hitting fifth, but he was a late scratch due to hip tightness.
After a doubles-filled 10-4 win on Tuesday night, the San Francisco Giants have a chance to earn a series win against the Colorado Rockies with a win tonight ... and set themselves up for a chance at a sweep on Thursday.The Giants have lost the last two series they played, which broke a streak of four consecutive series victories.
In April, it didn't merit our attention.In April, the Mets were the Mets who were going to make a habit of it.In April, the Mets beat the Padres one game, the A's the next; the A's one game, the Dodgers the next; and the Dodgers one game, the Giants the next.In April, the Mets would finish off one opponent, we'd shout "BRING ON THE NEXT VICTIM!" and the Mets would proceed as if they'd heard us.
The schedule works out well for the Mets this weekend, positioning them to take advantage of their place in the standings.They are three games out of the third Wild Card spot in the National League and they are in Pittsburgh for three games this weekend to take on the team that it turns out is their target.

11 days ago, Major League Baseball opened up "Phase I" voting for this year's All-Star Game and I wrote about how Thairo Estrada of our beloved San Francisco Giants, being the best second baseman in the National League, should get yours and many other people's vote.Today, Major League Baseball released the first "Phase I" results from the balloting and, to my horror, Thairo Estrada, still the best second baseman in the National League, is not leading the results - he's SIXTH!
Happy Friday, San Francisco Giants fans.And a happy day it is indeed ... it's Friday!And the Giants are riding the high of a series sweep.All is well in Giants land, but there is a little bit of a conundrum for the brain trust: what does the team do about Joey Bart?I'll be honest for a second.When the Giants broke camp with Bart looking like the primary catcher, and then a day later signed Gary Sánchez to a Minor League deal, I did not expect these to be the team's home run totals from their catchers a week into June: In a season of weirdness, this might be the most unpredictable thing that has happened on the Giants roster.

After winning four consecutive series, the San Francisco Giants dropped their last two, at home.Now it's time for them to rebound against a division rival, the Colorado Rockies.The bad news is that the Giants are back on the road, and at Coors Field no less.The good news is that the Rockies are not a good baseball team, and rank dead last in the National League in run differential ... by a huge margin.

Welcome to Chicago baseball in 2023, a mind-numbingly dark, painfully slow-moving, utterly joyless movie that has brought us to June with no real reason to believe that redemption is coming.Tagline: Mope springs eternal.Or maybe that's just my own cynical outlook.But it can't be, can it?We've all been tortured by the Cubs, who entered the month a relentlessly underwhelming 24-31, and/or tormented by the White Sox, who were an egregiously underachieving 23-35.
