Kerkering was hot so why not but doesn't that take him out of it tomorrow, especially since he struggles back-to-back?
I'm surprised Topper had Stott bunt again, albeit in a different situation.

Philadelphia Phillies
Los Angeles Dodgers
that'll do pig
Interesting, because I think the wheel play is more common with runners on first and second.
How many runs do the Phillies need to score to bring in Walker for the ninth?
Taijuan or Buehler?
Either, I guess. Might be more fun for Buehler to pitch in Dodger Stadium.

Max Kepler flies out to center fielder Justin Dean.
well yeah but that's why I don't think it was surprising. Stott didn't really bunt badly Monday, other than maybe not reading the play that was on.
all kidding aside it has to be one of them right?

ah, the sweet sight of LA fans leaving the ballpark early
Mrs. Jazz sent me out for more Cuervo after the JT bomb. I come back and it's 8 -1. Cheers!!

How many guys could put up an OPS over 1.000 while hitting .182.
There's more than one reason to drink...
