The crowd was on its feet cheering for Chase’s entire at bat.
It is past time to win this game.
Wasn't this the game where shoddy play on defense gave the Dodgers an early run?
I have a feeling the 12th will be the inning of the walk off win.
Velasquez going to the bullpen.

Trevor Plouffe called out on strikes.
The Dodger bullpen has absolutely shut us down so far in these two games.
I could hit as well as Plouffe in that at bat. Just stand there and take everything, including 3 pitches clearly in the strike zone.
I'm sure we have had weak benches in some past seasons, but I don't ever recall such mediocrity overall.
By far the worst bench I can remember.

Hernandez has been plain awful today.
I'm feeling good about lucky #13.
Yeah, Hernandez has really been in a funk for a couple of weeks now.

Strikes out the side!
