Giants 3, Dodgers 2: Most frustrating game in a while

I wanted to use the blank picture tonight as a shitpost that represented the offensive performance of the Dodgers, but really that’s not true, because being no-hit would’ve been less frustrating than watching them go 5-for-28 with runners on, 2-for-10 with RISP, and stranding 14. Especially considering that the two hits they did have with RISP came during innings where: 1) the bases were loaded with nobody out and Freddie Freeman and Trea Turner made three outs to murder a rally 2) the bases were loaded with one out and Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts had back-to-back strikeouts against a pitcher who literally couldn’t throw a strike with his fastball.

Amazingly they still probably should’ve been tied since the umpires gave a Giants runner home after a batter swung at a ball that hit him (that’s a dead ball), which ended up being scored as a wild pitch, but whatever.

I would be more mad about the swinging HBP run that is the margin right now if they didn't have like 30 chances to ground out weakly for a run already.

Everything about this game just seemed designed to frustrate and it just sucked.

Not doing the "all is lost" bullshit as they'll get back to playing well eventually, but losing these kinds of games are important already, last year was evidence enough. This isn't the 2012-17 division anymore.

Avoid the sweep, lol.
