Nick Senzel a late scratch due to a stomach bug.

Keibert getting his first start since the IL.

Meneses at 1st, Gallo and Rosario in the corners and Winker at DH. No Lip today.

Both pitchers have had some hard luck with FIPs substantially lower than their ERAs.

FG odds 58%/42% Doyers

First time I’ve seen a flight directly over the stadium. I guess they want to make this Flushing?

historically awful call on strike 3 to Meneses.

Slateman · « **Reply #7:** April 25, 2024, 04:25:14 PM »

We're the Dodgers get right team

We should have made a play for Teoscar.

excellent recovery after the 1st 3 batters. About 36 pitches through 2.

This ump is terrible

Sickening to see Rosario playing everyday

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #12:** April 25, 2024, 04:48:04 PM »

sickening to see this ump blow calls one way. It's like "he's yamamoto. He doesn't throw balls. Gore is pitching to dodgers. Takes are balls."

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #13:** April 25, 2024, 05:06:46 PM »

nice defense behind Gore that inning. Vargas!

Now it's time for O. It's just a 1 run game.

The new MLB.com game day animation is pretty cool.

that last strike on Gallo looked low on mlb.com gameday.

I'm really starting to think he should be leading off.

he's been giving off the plate on both sides and below the strike zone to Yamamoto but he's missed a few for Gore at the knees or well inside the top of the zone arm side.

Way to get out of that

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #18:** April 25, 2024, 05:23:41 PM »

90 pitches. I push him out there to pitch to Freeman, then think of pulling him. Lefty Lefty.

I want to say we see them at least once per afternoon game of late...west to east flight pattern...

Good outing for Gore. Still need to figure out how to get him through at least 6 innings though.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #21:** April 25, 2024, 05:30:30 PM »

When Vargas swings and misses, the pitcher has some awesome stuff. he has the lowest K% of any hitter in baseball with over 30 PAs. 3% swinging strike rate.

imref · « **Reply #22:** April 25, 2024, 05:31:15 PM »

Fun stat of the day: Combined, Rosario, Gallo, and Ruiz are batting .421

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #23:** April 25, 2024, 05:37:56 PM »

nice. Love the D from Young. Freddy was sure that would drop, or that it was going to be the closest he'll get to scoring if it did drop.

KV · « **Reply #24:** April 25, 2024, 05:40:17 PM »

Young is a keeper.
