This is not how you support your Cy Young/MVP pitcher, Dodgers. Three throwing errors on one play? What?

Count them with me.
Error #1: Yasiel Puig (of course he would have to be involved) fires to first to try and get the runner who has strayed too far from the bag on a fly out. Not a terrible idea by Puig but really awful execution.
Error #2: Catcher A.J. Ellis, who was backing up at first and got to Puig’s errant throw, goes to second to try and get the runner advancing from first. His throw bounces into center.
Error #3: Now Hanley Ramirez picks up the ball that got away at second. Every Dodger fan is thinking “OH NO NOT HANLEY RAMIREZ.” Hanley guns it to the plate to get the runner trying to score and…the throw is not even close.
To make matters worse, Clayton Kershaw sprawls out on Ramirez’s throw to try and corral it and damn near injures himself. Yeah, that would be perfect for the Dodgers. Kershaw hurting himself diving for a terrible Hanley Ramirez throw.
That would almost be poetic.
Two runs ended up scoring. Well okay then Dodgers. Thanks for the entertainment. Maybe work on your fielding a little bit though.
