Surprisingly ace-like Capuano has helped the Dodgers bop to the top of the standings. Corbin's career is just the start of something new. Normally, lefties and rookies are two of the Dodgers' biggest weaknesses, but this year they've managed to not stick to the status quo.
Can the Dodgers make Corbin blue? Bet on it.

The picture and italicized words in this game thread are lost on me. Should I be watching American Idol?
For the record, I hate myself for this GT.
@Q7
According to the Googles, Corbin Blue some sort of Disney kid.
@Nomo
Wow.
Disney was my next guess.
In the MySportsPage thing at the bottom of the page is a link to a story about Brad Ausmus being the coach of the Isreal team for the World Baseball Classic.
On top of Brad Ausmus as coach, Isreal dug up "a pair of Jewish ex-major leaguers" in Shawn Green and Gabe Kapler for the team.
Shawn Green. Didn't he retire something like 5 years ago? Wow.
Is Koufax pitching for them?
Gwynn 8
Herrera 5
Ethier 9
Van Slyke 3
Sands 7
DeJesus 4,
Treanor 2
Sellers 6
Capuano 1
@DB
I had the same question!
Only one vowel. Not much to work with there.
Wait, if Koufax can pitch, I'd rather use him in our pen than have him waste it on this World Baseball Classic crap.
WHY ISN'T KENNEDY BATTING FIFTH?!
Free Adam Kennedy?
Mattingly didn't have to use his AK.
cc: Ice Cube
Yeah,That's the fucking line-up right there.
Nomo! Patrick O'Neal just announced your hashtag on the pre-game. But he called it #AJ4KC. Isn't it #AJ2KC?
Vin's in Arizona!
Herrera bunt single! Mattingly must be proud.
Guess this is our Lakers thread as well.
echo
No commercials? Steve Lyons tweeted something about "master control issue so no commercials." No idea what that means.
More Vin for us!
Ethier with the nice running backhand catch!
Way to represent, obnoxious dancing kid in Dodgers gear behind home plate!
Major tech issues on Prime Ticket tonight.

Still no commercials. Prime Ticket handling it pretty smoothly by cutting to vignettes featuring Dodger players. Vin helping out by introducing each segment.
This is my thirteenth straight comment.
@MLB.tv free game of the day!
Apparently the Diamondbacks have started a day-care center. Directly behind home plate.
Halt! Who goes there?
Sands single!
Nothing screams fun like J.J. PUTZ BOBBLEHEAD.
Lakers are already losing 11-14
Damn Orel. You hit for 3 straight cycles!
@Orel 7:01p: Better there than the day care center we seem to be running from our dugout
Welcome to the bigs, de Jesus. Again.
@Sax: Zing!
DeJesus K
TREANOR!
I think Treanor spent all of five seconds on the basepaths.
I, for the record, do not yet hate Gnomes for this GT, but the night is still young.
Matty2!
@MR.F: I'm sending my laptop to the Hall of Fame.
Cappy single!
I think the Putz bobblehead has a lifesized head
Who could hate Gnomes?
Cap!
@Nomes, I was thinking Ty Corbin, but he may be a righty
TGJ single!
Red Hot Lover Tone!
1st and 2nd, 2 outs
Aw, shucks. 2-0 Dodgers in the 2nd.
take a couple of pitches, Elian.
Don't worry, you can stay
Each interstitial segment features a different pitcher showing his pitch grips. Billingsley isn't exactly a magnetic screen presence.
as flat as his pitches
I am not going to say anything bad about Bills anymore
It was a gutty interstitial segment, FB.
Nice tweet, Nomo!
Chad has powerful thighs
go get that, Scott!
cripes this a long at-bat
Montero is a tough out, but he is an out nonetheless.
Siddown, (Relatively) Short Chris Young!
You guys have to watch the mlb.com highlight of the Treanor HR. There's a bloodcurdling scream from someone, as soon as it leaves the bat, which is f'ing hilarious
Okay, gotta hop out for a second

Which pitcher will we get next segment?
Dee Gordon interviewed by kids!
@Sax, I heard that too, I am guessing it was Matty
I also just heard somebody yell on that chopper to first. The mic down there is very sensitive
This is a weird broadcast.
That's not all that's sensitive down there!
Looking at that pool, I forgot how stupid White Whale Stadium is
Vin acknowledging the lack of commercials. I wonder how much $$$ Prime Ticket is losing because some intern accidentally unplugged a cable.
@Vin - this no commercials thing is wonderful
Dodgers are tagging it right at them. They'll start falling in again.
Ryan "MVPee" Braun ties it up with the Giants!
I think I like the one with the puppy best
RIP Lasorda
yuck, Matt Williams make me throw up a little
makes
Wow, Patrick O'Neal just apologized to us on Twitter.
@FB: The drunken cameraman is also a winner.
Why does Vin call Goldschmidt Goldie? Stop legitimizing the opponent, Vin!
I am sorry
@Orel, I am pretty sure that's Dusty wearing a Lakers cap
I think Goldie was the lead character in The Mack starring Max Julien and Richard Pryor
I'm vaguely familiar with the broadcast industry. I can't figure out how they can roll segments, but not commercials.
Why can't they just queue up the youtube videos for the commercials they usually show?
@Orel: I'm kind of freaking out on the inside about the whole PONeal thing.
They can just show that Kate Upton commercial over and over again
@Nomo: But on the outside you're calm, right? Because that's all that matters.
Great response to O'Neal, Gnomes. Well done.
@Nomo
It just goes to show how awesome A. J. Ellis is. He can drag US towards legitimacy on his coattails.
Mrs FB on Sellers: "Here's the little whippersnapper"
Nice work, Matt and Sellers working to clear Cap
Can't wait to play Milwaukee again. They need payback.
I keep waiting for Harang, in listing his pitches, to say "and the occasional meatball"
Will Matty be back by the Milwaukee series?
Balls.
Nice, FB.
holy moly - Willie hammered that
Mattycakes should be back for Game 2 of the four-game series against the Brewers.
and Tone didn't play that so well
Bloomquist may had has a triple anyway, but still
2-1 Dodgers. Hold it together, Cappy.
crap
Almost doubled him up!
wow, Tony - good stuff
I guess the D'backs decided to take BP in the fourth inning.
wow, Cap isn't fooling anybody this inning
that was a strike
*heart resumes beating*
Cap spears it to escape the inning! Still 2-1 Dodgers.
what did they feed that kid?
wow - nice work, Cap
I hate being a pitch or two behind
But I am glad I get to watch on TV
I don't like our lineups vs lefties
Good swing, Elian, keep that feeling
Dre with the nubber into the hole the other way
Everything will be better once Matty returns.
SVS is so far away from the plate and deep in the batter's box
FB, is MLB.TV doing the "Commercial Break in Progress" thing or showing the segments Prime Ticket is showing?
haha, ummmm
Better to be lucky than good. Even Vin thinks that's a bad call, and he's usually pretty respectful of umps.
@Nomes they are showing the segments. I don't know how MTB.tv normally knows it's a commercial. I assumed they had a guy watching the game who would switch to the "Commercial Break..." image manually. If that was the case, you would think they could do it here too
I'll say it: is that what passes for a Communications major at USC?
you are terrible parents, one for raising your kids in a desert, and two for letting they run around like some wild animals
them
trivia: Kirk Gibson is 1 of 4 LA Dodgers to win the NL MVP. Who are the other 3?
Cap was unsqueezed on that one
Leashes for kids? FB says yes.
Matt Kemp 2012
Matt Kemp 2014
Clayton Kershaw 2015
Whiskey for kids? FB says yes
Nice pick, Elian!
Fred's Brim: Child Advocate
Maury Wills - 1962
Sandy Koufax - 1963
Steve Garvey - 1974
take a goddamn pitch
Hey, that's the guy under me!
Cmon, Cap, how about an easy inning?
where the hell was pitch #3?
throw strikes, stupid!
stupid walk after starting 0-2
Upton picked off
Looked like a balk maybe
...but I'll take it!
Cap Ks Hank White to end the inning
So the commercial outage is NATIONWIDE. Whoa.
'Dre brings the geico.
DRE!!!!
DRE!!!!
DAMMIT
@Nomes - how do you mean? All MLB? All TV?
I'll take it
AC!!!
I like Dave Roberts
Cmon Belli
@FB: Fox Sports router glitch.
Angels, Dodgers, DBacks, Royals, Rangers and more all affected.
And nice work, Cap!
@Nomes - that is pretty awesome. I bet there isn't a fan out there that minds one bit. Maybe this will inspire somebody to do a no-ads game sometime
whoosh that was a rope
Did Vin just call him Kibble?
oof the ump caught that right in the gut
I don't know if it's the commercial thing or what, but this game is dragging ass.
Love when Dre does well in Arizona.
was Kubel winking at me?
epale everyone!
(lurking a little, some custome design has to be done by tonight)
@Nomes - yeah it feels like it to me too but it started pretty later than a game in Az should
nice going, Belli!
Mattingly looked old in high school
howdy, karina!
@karina - tell Parra to stay on the bench
ooh a righty!
Are you designing the new Flaming Menudos rock opera costumes Karina?
is Mattingly going to kill Lindblom?
Nice hit DeJesus Colorado.
can you call a feathered thong a costume?
Mattingly likes to abuse the relief, like his Torre before him.
Howdy all. Hey, Andre and Mr. Misty have homeruns!? Woohoo!
that was a nasty pitch that Treanor shouldn't have swung at
@Paul, I guess it's just a bit of His-Torre repeating itself. Get it!? HIS-Torre!
@FB
And top hats. Don't forget the top hats.
@Paul Neeebs keeps destroying my sketches :(
@Cliff - tis true! and Capuano was shaky at times but was pretty good for 6 innings
Wheeeee!
@karina, there is such a fine line between genius and raving lunatic
Woohooo! Sellers!
Nice Sellers.
i can get used to this late inning scoring, BIG TIME
I don't remember a time when we've hit this many triples.
RUN RUN RUN!!!
LONEY BOMB!
*jaw drops*
wow he was so shallow
WHOA! FJL!
THAT'S KING JAMES FOR YOU LADIES AND GENTS
Karina appears and James crushes the ball.
WHAAAAA?!?
Hahahahahaha! The look on the little boy's face in the seats behind home plate was priceless.
Boom baby
Pujols hears footsteps
I want to believe that we're this good, but I enjoy the happy surprise every night too much.
James looked at it like he didn't believe it either
