Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell, and seeing Nyquist lose the lead at the end of the Preakness made me think a member of the Dodgers bullpen must have been riding him.
We need Julio down by the play yard
So, the Dodgers are struggling. In the last week, they lost three of four to the Angels and two of three to the Padres, two teams they should be beating with regularity. They have a rookie manager, Dave Roberts, who is learning on the job and gets blamed by most fans for things out of his control, such as lineup selection and the horrible bullpen.
