First pitch for the series opener is set for 7:08 p.m. Pacific time.
The second game of the opening round continues Thursday night at Dodger Stadium with another 7:08 p.m. Pacific start time.
If necessary, Game 3 would be played at Dodger Stadium on Friday, October 2 at 3:38 p.m. Pacific.
Having Gore on this roster is totally STUPID. I doubt the guy even gets in a game. He played in 2 games, had Zero at bats, and Zero steals. And leaving Floro off? For Kelly? Ridiculous
I think Gore’s inclusion would be especially upsetting for guys like Wood and Floro, like you mentioned.
Brewers have Jedd Gyorko hitting in the three hole tonight. 😯
