Post-Game 6 Thread: Ryu Gets The Sweep As Dodgers Explode For Six Runs

This joke brought to you by SoSG Nomo

DODGERS 6, PIRATES 2

Hyun-Jin Ryu followed up his shaky debut with a solid start to earn the sweep of the Pirates: 101 pitches over 6.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER (off a two-run HR to Andrew McCutchen; no shame there, even though it was Pittsburgh's first HR this year), 6 Ks and 2 BB. Ronald Bellisario got the hold with 1.2 IP, closed out by Matt Guerrier and Ken Howell in the ninth.

But the story today was the Dodgers offense, which finally showed up in the sixth game of the season. Adrian Gonzalez led the way with a 3-for-4, 4 RBI day; Carl Crawford went 2-for-4 with 2 runs, and Nick Punto went 2-for-2 with 2 runs himself. Matt Kemp doubled in the first inning and had a sacrifice fly in the third to give the Dodgers the lead.

Even Justin Sellers got his first hit, a HR to left center. Heck, even Juan Uribe almost went yard (fly to the deep left corner). It was that kind of day, the third sellout of the year.

Dodgers get a day off tomorrow and then greet the Padres for their home opener Tuesday. Sax, on the other hand, gets to relish his newly acquired Matt Kemp youth jersey. Thanks, Dodgers (and Dreyer's Ice Cream)!

Late MLB game today is Angels @ Rangers. Le sigh.

Dusty Baker said...

Not that I'm not going to watch every moment of it, but yeah.

@Orel,Sax

I would have done the PGT but I knew you guys were wanting to go with that graphic.

Dusty Baker said...

Sons get out to a hot 3-1 start this season.

Steve Sax said...

@Dusty: what do you have against that graphic? don't tell me the Street Fighter movie spoiled the whole franchise for you.

Dusty Baker said...

Nothing! Just didn't have the graphic or really know of its origin.

rbnlaw said...

Proud (?) to say Gnomes and I were at the same loss.
sigh.

Little known fact; Sax actually was able to get a Kemp jersey for himself. Damn his youthful good looks!

Dusty Baker said...

You still rocking a vacation beard, Sax?

rbnlaw said...

Cal doing its best to give away the National Semi-Final game to Louisville. Louisville refuses to take the game and run.

Dusty Baker said...

Rancho Darvishiendo. Yu loads them up with no outs in the first. Jeff Hamilton up to bat, again being heartily booed.

Dusty Baker said...

Hamilton is 0-8 w 4Ks in this series so far. And he grounds into a DP.

Steve Sax said...

@Dusty: vacation beard had to go. It was interfering with my beer intake.

Adrian Beltre 34 years old today. Seems like just the other day he was a 14-year-old Dodger.

Dusty Baker said...

Dodgers have a ML best 1.00 ERA. Just wow.

I'm really sad there isn't a Dodger game tomorrow. Or another one today.

Dusty Baker said...

Lance Berkman 2-run bomb off Lil' Weaver. 2-2 in this one.

Dusty Baker said...

And David Murphy hits the next pitch into the seats. Rangers up on Fullerton 3-2.

rbnlaw said...

In other news, Cal about to go out of the women's tournament. The Louisvilles can go for the double, ala UConn.

rbnlaw said...

Game over. Louisville on to the final; Cal to the 3rd place game.

Wait. No 3rd place game? Since when?

Well that's just stupid.
*switches to the Angle game (yes, I said angle)

rbnlaw said...

Gnomes doing some work with Wrestlemania.

#cautious

rbnlaw said...

Cain gave up 9 in an inning?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Cy Young?

No.

Steve Sax said...

Roll over you Bears.

In all seriousness, tough for Cal, but a final four spot ain't nothing to be shamed about.

Steve Sax said...

@rbnlaw: to be fair, it was a long inning.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!

Dusty Baker said...

I wish Gnomes would have had us over to watch Wrestlemania with him.

rbnlaw said...

That would've been an EPIC SOSG fest.
Dodger win AND Wrestlemania?

fuggeddaboudit.

@Sax
Stop what you're doing and laugh at the Gnats!
hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Dusty Baker said...

Dark balls controversy in this Fullerton vs Rangers game.

rbnlaw said...

Hitters questioning the "darkness" of the baseballs in Texas.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but both sides have to use them, right?

Whiners

Dusty Baker said...

And the umps are the ones that rub the balls down, not the home team. #NoDisadvantage

rbnlaw said...

Angles and Gers boring the piss outta me right now.

Going to smoke a ceegar.

rbnlaw said...

Wait. The umps rub the balls?

Can't

Skylar Diggins overtakes Candice Parker as my new hoops honey...

Dusty Baker said...

Skylar Diggins sounds like a porn name.

Orel said...

Hey Dusty, thanks for the Jason + hot sauce rec @Alegria! It was my dinner last night and it's my dinner tonight (with Sriracha PHing for the hot sauce)!

Steve Sax said...

@Orel: did a morning bike ride around LA and passed by Alegria on Sunset. Cool! Will have to try that place out.

Dusty Baker said...

@Orel

Cool! Yeah it's one of my fav burritos around.

@Sax

Yeah try it out sometime. It's not big on ambiance but solid food. Guac is excellent, too.

Hideo Nomo said...

Woulda totally had you guys over if I was the host.

Currently being bored by Rock/Cena.

Dusty Baker said...

Ian Kinsler hit a 3-bagger to put Rangers up 7-3. Hit it off that Lowe kid we DFA'd at end of ST.

Dusty Baker said...

I'm really sad I didn't buy into Wrestlemania PPV. Twitters is blowing up with reports.

rbnlaw said...

I'm almost home from stalking Gnomes.

He's right about the Cena/Rock bout.
