It’s the first time one team has thrown three consecutive shutouts against the Dodgers since 1937.

Fire Mickey Hatcher!

(for good luck. worked for Angels!)

They did hire Mickey Hatcher, this past week. Now a special assistant to the GM. So he can properly be sacrificed as a good luck ritual.

This really is depressing, if historic, though:

Thank goodness for Dodger Thoughts. I’d hate to be going through this alone.

So now we get a team coming in that scored 17 runs TODAY ?
Hilarious.
The Dodgers will be lucky to score 17 in the next two weeks.

If the Mets have any struggling pitchers, they should get them ready to pitch – the Dodgers can set them straight.

I’m going to make a call right now on what I think this management will do to try and help things improve with this club.
….
It’s a time-tested treatment modality…. (used often in medicine, for example).
….
Rx: Tincture of time.
….
This is usually undertaken when……
1. The problem will most probably solve itself given time…
- or -
2. Given the prevailing circumstances, there is no other available treatment option.
….
Say… which one do you think fits the Dodgers’ situation best?….

Has Hatcher coached the team yet?

The 1968 Cubs have a bottle of champagne they open anytime some team that has been shut out three straight times fails to get shut out a fourth time to match their record (along with a few others, including the Astros twice, once in a four-game series in 1966 at Dodger Stadium).

The 68 Cubs actually weren’t that bad. They went 84-78. Catcher Randy Hundley caught 160 games that year.

That team also featured Old Friends Lou Johnson, Dick Nen, Ted Savage, Jim Hickman, Phil Regan, and Pete Mikkelsen.

Anyway, win some lose some.

At this point, I don’t see much that can be done other than to ride it out. The Dodgers don’t have the level of prospect that can bring a true game changer. They do perhaps have the ability to get an upgrade here and there, but the apparent loss of Ethier limits the effect of a Chase Headley, an Encarnacion, etc.. And…there’s no cavalry coming from the minors, either. Ride it out, and hopefully, when Matt Kemp comes back, we’ll be no more than 4 games out and still in the thick of the wild card. The pitching must remain tenacious

In the NBA, a team can amnesty players. What’s the analogous term in baseball? Because that’s what I’d like to do with Uribe. In every at bat, he looks overmatched that the plate

Is this the first time a first place team has been shut out three straight games?

Looks like the last time a team was shut out four straight times was actually in 1992. The Cubs were the victims that time.
