Scoreboard Watching: June 17, 2013

Jony Ive redesigns Scoreboard Watching in iOS7 style.

No Dodgers loss to watch today, so let's keep an eye on two teams within two games of .500 who are battling it out in the NL West for third and fourth place.

The Padres' Edinson Volquez (5-5, 5.87) squares off against Barry Zito (4-5, 4.79). The Giants just came off a 3-0 loss before a national television audience in which left fielder Andres Torres biffed a ground ball single to left that turned into a triple, eventually scoring the third run. Let's hope those wheels stay off the wagon tonight.

Back-to-back doubles in the top of the third--the first from Edinson Volquez--give the padres a 1-0 lead

Dusty Baker said...

Love the concept of this post. So topical, timely. Well done, Sax.

Steve Sax said...

Thanks, Dusty! Fuck skeuomorphism!!

Giants scored 3 on Volquez who was lifted for a PH in the top of the sixth. Bochy countered with lifting Zito, and the giants' new pitcher promptly WP in a run. 3-2 SF.

I hope they go 22 innings and exhaust every last player on each team.

Steve Sax said...

Padres tie it up with three singles to lead off the seventh!

Dbacks lose fourth straight; marlins win

Steve Sax said...

Dusty, they're going to extras in SF, just for you

Steve Sax said...

12th inning, tied at 3. Kyle Blanks (0-for-5 until this) decides to wake up and get a leadoff double. Let's see...

Sax's new favorite verb: biffed.

Will Venable's 12th-inning grab is getting major hype on Twitter. Video coming soon.

Given the game situation and how freaking awesome it was, Will Venable's catch has to be the play of the year so far, no?

Orel said...

Pads take a 4-3 lead in the 13th, RA with one out.

Orel said...

Not bad:

Will. Venable. http://atmlb.com/17imZg9

Pads win — I mean, Giants lose!

Steve Sax said...

Padres win in the 13th. Wow.

Steve Sax said...

5-3 final score btw. Pads had eight men come to the plate in the 13th

Steve Sax said...

Wow, that Venable catch was pretty good. Where there's a Will,...

Fell asleep and missed this one.
