Bottom of 2nd and Coke gives up lead off single. And advances the baserunners to 2nd with a wild pitch.

Correction: it's ruled a pass ball. A terrible callA

Terrible plays has this game tied up.

Frazier can't turn a double play. Kang bobbles a grounder, throws a one hopper chest high and Jaso misses it. Bad throw by Kang, but Jaso has to knock that down. No Cole is still throwing instead of sitting in the dugout with the lead.

Why in the world would you sent Jaso up there should have sent up Freeze to face the lefty. Hurdle is so worthless.

This game just feels like we're waiting to get beat, playing to lose. Cole looks awful.

Yes are you playing to win or just trying to get to the end of the game. The guy had already missed a one hopper to 1st base he really needs to be gone from this team. Dodger manager brings in a lefty in the 2nd inning to pitch to a lefty just because it was the second inning you don't give away runs.

Cole has stunk today. Way too many hits and just not enough clean innings. I agree with you Dog Kang made a bad throw to 1st but if you're Hurdle and you're going to praise Jaso's Defense at 1st base he has at least knock that ball down. This game is still very winnable need to get the bats going.

True, but all of that pales compared to Cole giving up batting practice to the entire Dodger team. I've lost track of hits (10?) but 4 runs (3 earned) through 4 innings I definitely know. Simply no where near good enough.

Right now, I feel no confidence in Cole. I'd rather have Tallion and even Kohl. Really sad. We NEEDED Cole to be better today; to win this game 1-0 if need be.

Cole can't even get a sacrifice bunt down...He needs to refine his game this off-season, and take the next step.

My gosh, even a poor bunt! We could have 3rd and 2nd with 1 out. Nope, out at 3rd and Cole is standing on 1st. >:(
