Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

Rich Hill was excellent again, allowing just one run in six innings. The bullpen was terrible, allowing seven runs in the seventh inning. Jeff is here alone today to talk as little as possible about a game we'd all rather just forget. Then he brought some real-world evidence of a radio play-by-play announcer being bad at describing the action in the game, which is literally his whole job.

Kenta Maeda pitched 6.2 shutout innings with 12 strikeouts, and the bullpen finished off the shutout to complete a short two-game sweep of the Padres and finish a 7-2 homestand. Maeda also drove in the only to runs of the game with a bloop single in the second inning. Jeff is here solo today to talk about the performances from Maeda and Jansen and the Dodger fans' reception of Manny Machado in his return to L.A.

The Dodgers got great starting pitching over the weekend and were one Justin Turner error away from throwing three straight shutouts. As it was, they split the series with the Nationals, capped by a near no-hitter by Hyun-Jin Ryu on Sunday.

Justin Turner had three home runs and six RBIs -- both career highs -- and still managed to get overshadowed by a stellar pitching performance from Hyun-Jin Ryu, who pitched a complete game shutout and needed just 93 pitches to do it. Vince and Jeff are here to talk about Ryu and JT, the strong defense from Max Muncy (!), and the crowd reaction to all of it.

The Dodgers scored five runs without a home run and knocked yet another starter out of the game early. Walker Buehler pitched a gem and Pedro Baez and Julio Urias finished up in style. Chris Taylor, Alex Verdugo, Max Muncy, and Justin Turner were all on base multiple times. In fact, the offense was so balanced that Jeff and Vince forgot to even mention Turner on the show. But we talked about the rest, plus an update on AJ Pollock.
