FanGraphs has us 7th in their power rankings, in the solid contenders tier (despite their system giving us a 31% chance at the postseason).

We're somehow 6th in the mlb.com power rankings.

I knew my eyes don't deceive me... Dominguez throws 15.3% of his pitches in the waste zones. These are considered uncompetitive pitches. Among pitchers who have thrown at least 300 pitches, that is the 11th worst in all of baseball. Dominguez was actually the 7th worst in all of baseball last year at 13.1%. So he has been worse at it this year, but I guess he's always been like this.

Dominguez makes Alex Colome look like Mariano Rivera. Colome at least threw strikes lol.

Unclench

We almost didn't even get one out there.

s%*# Chase is hurt.

It's Chris Murphy, so it's not like he's any better. He's basically a worse lefty version of Dominguez.

Dominguez seems to have 4-5 good outings and then just implode.

Seems like that's the plan. Nothing even close.

He has no idea where the splitter is going lol

He just could not get Freeland out with his fastball.

Way to jinx it.

You really can't let Shohei come up as the tying run. Gotta get Freeland out.

Rushing really helped him out there with that swing on the first pitch. Nice recovery.

He still hasn't come close to throwing a strike.

Watching Dominguez pitch is just painful lol

There's no such thing when Dominguez is pitching.

The next best option is Tyler Davis...so in that sense it is the right call lol.

Taylor's already at 30 pitches. I don't think you want to extend him much more than that. They might get cute and try to close this out with Murphy. Edit: Dominguez is up throwing in the bullpen

Quero was too last year. But he decided to let Driveline ruin him.

The bottom of the Dodgers' order is mostly lefties too.

Can't front door that slider twice to a good hitter like Betts.

That's just the 2nd homer that Taylor has given up all year.

The org's and his approach to hitting got screwed over by the change they made to the ball after 2020. Guys like Yoan and Eloy could flick their wrists and go oppo with the bouncy ball they had in 2019 and 2020. Once they got rid of that and stopped letting our pitchers use sticky stuff, we went from serious contenders to just a decent team.
