“It was as good of a night as we’ve had all year,” said manager Dave Roberts.
When you've got the best pitching coach in the game and some of the best youngsters the league can produce, it should come as no surprise that games like last nights happen. Last night we absolutely decimated the lowly Marlins, 15-1, and even witnessed the beauty of Russell Martin as a reliever for the third time this season. BTW, Dustin May is the real deal. He showed us his curve ball and it was very good. Per Rowan Kavner at Dodger Insider:
On Tuesday, May’s sinker-cutter combo stayed as trusted as it has all year, getting a combined seven swinging strikes and 17 called strikes. But he also more frequently incorporated the curveball, throwing it 17 times.
“The more comfortable I feel with it, the more I’m going to throw it,” said May, who recorded a second straight outing allowing just one run.
"He has a burning desire to be great," says Dodgers president Andrew Friedman, "in large part to back up the amount of trash he talks."
Buehler, for instance, when asked if he is the strongest player, pound-for-pound, on the Dodgers, replied, "Yeah, I would say so. I think there are probably guys who are naturally stronger than me, but during the season I don't think many people lift the way I do. So throwing a hundred at inning 180-ish, that's where the confidence comes in."

However, only a few select players are expected to be promoted. “No, I don’t see that,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of the possibility of more than a handful of players joining the team once active rosters expand in September.
“With Taylor, Hernandez, Gyorko, obviously Austin will be recalled, there’s guys we already have that have been here for quite some time. To kind of flood the clubhouse doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.”
Add him to the bullpen! Russell Martin has made three relief appearances so far this season, and he's been fantastic. Watch Russell tell you how good he's been on the Dodgers twitter:
