Hours before their winner-take-all Game 5 against the San Francisco Giants, the Dodgers called an audible, announcing Thursday morning that Corey Knebel, not Julio Urías, will start in the biggest game of their season.
Urías is not injured or otherwise unavailable. He will pitch Thursday night at some point. This is just another example of Major League Baseball in 2021.
Knebel will serve as an opener, forcing the Giants to either tailor their lineup, or at least the top of it, to face the right-hander to avoid giving the Dodgers the matchup advantage for an inning or yield a mismatch.
For nearly two weeks, an overpowering foul smell — likened to rotten eggs, a dead body and poop — has been wafting from the Dominguez Channel.
"It’s like we’re gonna be known as that stinky city now, and I don’t want that," says Otilia Marquez. latimes.com/california/sto…
The stink has been the butt of plenty of online jokes: "If you can’t smell the air in Carson you DEFINITELY have COVID," one Twitter user quipped.
Others have suggested filling the Goodyear Blimp, which has a base in the city, with Febreze.
Los Angeles County officials say the smell is caused by hydrogen sulfide — a flammable, colorless gas known as “sewer gas” — coming from decaying vegetation in the channel that has built up because of the drought.
