Los Angeles @ Houston
Prior to the game, Clayton Kershaw was sent down to make room for Hiroki Kuroda on the active roster. I do like this move overall, because we really do need to limit Kershaw's innings this year, and this could make him available for a stretch run. It also removes the slim chance he could have recieved arbitration this year. However, Kershaw is certainly a better pitcher than Eric Stults, so losing him does make the team worse in the short term.

If Stults can keep up his smoke and mirrors act for a few more starts
then it won’t hurt too much. The sooner teams figure Stults out though the worse this becomes.
Hopefully now that Kershaw has had some time in the bigs he’ll be able to work on that walk problem…

So what you're saying is
rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated?

Runelvys Hernández
is about a 4.5 K/9 pitcher, career. Yet he has three already in this game.

He’s never had to face the force that is the Dodgers lineup before.

Surprisingly enough
the Dodgers are second to last in the NL in strikeouts. They don’t strike out much at all.

Interesting stat: DeWitt has an OPS under .400 when the first pitch is a strike, and over 1.000 when it’s a ball.

Squeeze!
I love the squeeze. Only time I really like bunting.

How did Jones do in AAA tonight? If he’s healthy and hitting, we might have a very good offense again.
