Show Notes
On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch take stock of a brutal Dodgers weekend in Phoenix, with three straight losses to the Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers are back to .500 at 5-5, and the pitching was terrible over the weekend, with Clayton Kershaw giving up back-to-back home runs to lose on Friday, then bad and short starts from Noah Syndergaard and Michael Grove.
LA’s bullpen has also been shaky to open the season, striking out batters at a low rate, in the lower third of the league. The bad pitching overshadowed what has otherwise been a pretty good Dodgers offense, especially from Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, James Outman, J.D. Martinez, and Jason Heyward.
