How do you top last night’s game? Ignore the eight innings of awfulness by the Dodger offense. That last inning was arguably my favorite of the season. Add in the drama caused by Madison Bumgarner throwing a tantrum, and it really felt like a “nail if the coffin” type of game.
Of course, this isn’t the case. The Dodgers have a sizable lead, but it’s certainly not over yet, especially with five games remaining against the Giants. However, losing a dominant outing by Bumgarner in the way they did feels like multiple losses. It’s not over yet, but they’re circling the drain.
