Hard to imagine today's game will be an emotional rollercoaster of the magnitude of last night's game but who knows? Also, hard to believe any game could have been played in April with as much intensity on both sides as the one we just witnessed. Was yesterday just a one off or the first of 19 fights to the death this season? Hopefully the Dodgers will continue to roll, now safe in the knowledge that no matter what happens they will still be in first leaving San Diego. GO BLUE!

Vesia called up; Beaty sent down. The Dodgers must see something in Vesia, though I don't know what.

Shit ton of breaking balls that the Dodgers can't hit. Good approach.

Machado was supposedly dealing with two injuries from last night's game and was DTD, but he's not showing any ill effects.

This is a game in which the Dodgers really need to somehow get Darvish's pitch count up. The Pads' pen is running on fumes.

I wasn't aware that Tatis had defensive issues. 7 errors already to lead the league. I guess it's not an outlier either.
