Hyun-Jin Ryu (2-1, 2.89) vs. Jason Hammel (2-1, 4.34).
The Dodgers are scuffling, having been swept by the heretofore lowly Padres, and now enter the gauntlet of interleague play against last year's AL wild card team, the O's. The likes of Adam Jones and Matt Wieters await. Welcome to the majors, Ryu.
But there is some hope: The Dodgers are well acquainted with Hammel from his days as a Dinger-lovin' Colorado Rocky/ie. Lifetime against the Dodgers, Hammel is 2-5 with a 5.47 ERA, so let's see how his game translates to Oriole Park at Camden Yards — and if the Dodger bats made the trip east.
UPDATE:
Tonight's game has been postponed. We'll play two tomorrow: 10am and 4pm PT. #Doubleheader

UPDATE 2 (8:14p): Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Ryu would start the day game, and Josh Beckett would start the night game, as originally planned.

I am watching batting practice from behind home plate ... I thought I could post a pic but apparently not. Believe it or not, Sellers looked good in BP :-)
Annnnnd we're in a delay.
Fuckage.
Can watch some news. They have the second maggot cornered.

Lightning and steady rain, dark clouds with darker ones coming. We've just been told to leave our seats due to the lightning :-(
Apparently the rain gods want to see what happens in Boston first.
Goodchild! Thanks for the update...send pics!
Yay good guys!
Booo rainout!
Double header tomorrow. I'll send pics, but to which email?
Sellers looked good in BP? How about Hanley.
Hanley looked ok. Though, he had a jacket on over his jersey so I didn't realize it was him at first. I'm field level for all 3 games this weekend, so I hope to send some cool pics! Is there a standard email I should send to?
Also, it wasn't just Sellers- Urine must have hit 10 balls over the wall in bp. Between him and Sellers, that should be proof that Hanley looking good in bp doesn't mean much.
That said, Ethier and Crawford looked great! I missed Kemp while buying micro brews but my friend said he was hitting bombs.

That should work.
Giants down 1-0 to the Pods in the first inning. Ashley madison on the mound.

Erin Burnett, man. I could watch her talk all night.
Padres tie it at 2. Bottom eight right now
Ninth inning in SF, tied with SD 2-2
SF wins, 3-2. Booooooooooooo
@Sax: How about A.J. Burnett?
@Orel: not even close
Meet the new GT; same as the old GT.
Whoops! I thought the game started at 1.
It did. In MD. Where is everyone?
Dre!!!!!
Al fin
Clearly I don't read my own blog.
Settle down, HJR.
Uh oh, that's just gonna feed the call up Puig crowd.
Matt Kemp: reverting to little league play.
@Nomo: PUIG! PUIG!
Lots of Dodger fans in the crowd. Good job, Baltimore.
Thanks for the email address - I got a shot of andre hitting the hr and some cool burst shots of Ryu pitching. Pics to be emailed after game 1.
DONE WITH CRUZ.
@goodchild which one are you behind the plate?
Matt "Velez" Kemp
GameDay changed the Fenway Park background to show the now-iconic "B Strong" image. Good work, MLB. Good work.
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball."
Sitting in 8C, Vinny!
Will be there tomorrow wearing my Dodger gear and enjoying Camden Yard.

Well that was fun while it lasted.
How is Hammel in line to be the winning pitcher? Ugh.
Are gonna have to watch the Dodgers lose twice today?
Kemp with the grittiest single ever! Broken-bat bleeder past a diving Chris Davis at first.
Only if you're a glutton, DBT.
WP scores Mellis! Tie game!
Ports backwards.
Wow, IBB AGon to get to Ethier.
PORTS ORDEP
Damn, Andre. Looks at two fat strikes and swings through the third one.
Collins pulled a Steiner there.
Welp, at least it's tied.
Still tied. Showalter switching pitchers like they're going out style.
O'DAY DAY-O
I hope Cruz homers here. Twitter would explode.
HBP! Almost as good!
Wait, isn't Cruz supposed to charge O'Day?
Ill take Puig for $600, please Alex.
Sellers weak pop-out. Still tied.
Sax checking in just as Jansen checks out. May tingly shipping in all of our pitchers, which sets is up well for the evening game.
5-5, bottom eight one out
Aunt May tingly?
@goodchild27: the only way we can tell it's you is if you start streaking on the field
Paco gives up a looooooong double with one out. He is subsequently yanked.
OP@CY rockin' the Seven Nation Army, circa 1834
Belli in. I am guessing we lose this game
Four-pitch walk from Belli. Great call, Donnie.
OP@CY rockin' the Mr Mister, with "Kyrie". Wow, that is a weird pull by the DJ.
CATCH THE GODDAMN BALL HERNANDEZ
Belli sucks the big one this year.
Belli can't find the strike zone with a GPS
Stop Bellisario. Now.
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Belli should start drinking again. At least he'd have an excuse
O's two-run lead. Game over.
May tingly's hands are tied with our crappy bullpen.
We can't even use the "at least he's tagging the ball" excuse for Matty anymore.
Something stinks and it's name is Kemp

LOSE
Thanks, nice job Dodgers. Let's do this again really soon.
