To lose a game without learning something is a sad state of affairs. Yes, the Dodgers lost last night game, but they learned a few things in the process:
- If you can’t jump out of a boat and hit water, you probably won’t win;
- Hyun-jin Ryu has gone from being left off the playoff roster (in some of your minds) back to Cy Young Candidate (in case you have never watched, baseball is a game of streaks);
- Ryu is not comfortable pitching to Will Smith. Last night he pitched to Russ Martin and in the previous two games before his three-game “meltdown” he also pitched to Martin.
