Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers closed out the series in San Diego with a win behind a strong bullpen and timely offense. Caleb Ferguson is done for the year so what does that mean for the bullpen? Also, with expanded playoffs being considered for the future, the guys break down what they don't mind seeing and what they don't want to see if that ends up happening.

The Dodgers defeated the Padres behind seven strong innings from Tony Gonsolin, who has established himself as a legit starter in the rotation. Justin Turner returned to the lineup and provided three hits, including an RBI single to start his night. His presence in the lineup and eventually on the field will do wonders for the Dodgers. It wasn't all peachy for the Dodgers, as Caleb Ferguson came out with an elbow injury and Kenley Jansen's wild ride in the ninth inning was not reassuring.

The Dodgers lost the first game of the series with the Padres thanks to a disastrous 7th inning. Clayton Kershaw was pulled, which may not have been the best decision. Also, Trent Grisham and the dugout exchanged words after a home run -- not a good look for whoever was talking in the dugout. The guys get into a handful of other small topics about the loss like lineup construction, bad defense and more.

It was an eventful weekend in Los Angeles with rallies (off the field) and implosions (on the field. Kenley Jansen became the topic of the weekend after blowing a three-run save on Saturday against the Astros. Fans lined up to "welcome" the Astros to Los Angeles ahead of the two- game series. Plus Kiké Hernandez and Chris Taylor are pushing for more playing time. And finally, the Joe Kelly mural is up and it's wonderful.

The Dodgers lost an annoying game to the DBacks to close out the series. Walker Buehler was placed on the IL with his blister issue again before the game and then Dustin May was removed after one inning because he was hit on the foot with a comebacker in the bottom of the 1st. The biggest news besides injury came when Mookie Betts was in the starting lineup at second base. He will get more time there as the year goes on.

The Dodgers won again in extra innings over the Diamondbacks. Clayton Kershaw wasn't as sharp but still got through five innings before the bullpen took over and was very, very good. Other topics include Cody Bellinger's struggles, the defense being shaky and Roberto Clemente Day.

The Dodgers played a long, crazy, annoying game but came away with a win. Kenley Jansen nearly gave up a four-run lead in the 10th and that brings up bad feelings about Jansen in a handful of situations. Walker Buehler didn't get out of the third and it may possibly be related to his blister issue. The star of the game was Gavin Lux, who may be turning things around just in time for the postseason.

The Dodgers dropped their first series of the season after losing two of three to the Rockies over the weekend. The bullpen was really bad, allowing runs in all three games and struggling to hold leads. The guys get into some of the bad relievers and some of the good ones from the weekend/recent times. They also talk about two of the hotter hitters in the lineup: Corey Seager and Will Smith.

Clayton Kershaw tossed six scoreless innings and recorded his 2,500th career strikeout as the Dodgers swept the DBacks. He also seemed to have introduced a new pitch that could serve him well in his quest to reinvent himself with lower velocity. The guys then get into AJ Pollock, Corey Seager and the bullpen usage.

The Dodgers continued their streak of not losing a series by beating the DBacks in extra innings. Walker Buehler started and was very, very good. Mookie Betts played hero to force extra innings, and then the Dodgers used a bunt to help secure the win. This prompted a discussing on bunting in general and the new extra-inning rule.

The Dodgers made a few moves ahead of Tuesday night's win, placing Justin Turner on the IL and activating Edwin Rios and Alex Wood.

The trade deadline was on Monday and the Dodgers did not make any trades to improve the 2020 team, but they did make a trade.

The Dodgers took two of three against the Rangers and remain the only team this season to not have lost a series. They also set the NL record for home runs in a month with 57 in August. Justin Turner's hamstring may be an issue after he exited Friday's game and missed the rest of the weekend. Plus, Gavin Lux is officially back and Tony Gonsolin's string of scoreless innings came to an end.
