Scoreboard Watching: Sept 23, 2013

Last off-day of the season for the Dodgers, so let's start watching the scoreboards around the relevant NL teams:

  • Brewers @ Braves, 4p. Marco Estrada (6-4, 4.26) vs. Mike Minor (13-7, 3.19). Braves are two games up on the Dodgers, with the best record in the NL (92-63).

  • Mets @ Reds, 4p. Former Dodgers Aaron Harang (5-12, 5.69) faces Johnny Cueto (5-2, 3.02). Reds are tied with the Pirates for the NL Wild Card, and both are two games behind St. Louis.

  • Pirates @ Cubs, 5p. Charlie Morton (7-4, 3.35) vs. Jeff Samardzija (8-12, 4.42).

  • Nationals @ Cardinals, 5p. Tanner Roark (7-0, 1.08) vs. Adam Wainwright (17-9, 2.98). For those of you not down with the transitive property, St. Louis is one game ahead of the Dodgers as the NL Central leader.

James Loney 3-run walkoff HR.

(Not a comment from 2007.)

Steve Sax said...

I only have it as a one-run walkoff HR (a pinch-hit HR, too), but Loney nonetheless.

It's funny to watch the highlight and see FJL calmly hand his batting helmet to the Rays' third base coach upon rounding third.

Orioles get swept in TB. Brutal.

Steve Sax said...

Atlanta down 1-0 to the Brewers, bottom 2

Fred's Brim said...

It looks like Loney finally found the weight room down in Tampa. Either that or Tampa has a better locker-room spread

Steve Sax said...

Jayson Werth just hit a two-run shot for the Nationals to give Washington a 2-0 lead on St Louis in the first

Steve Sax said...

Atlanta still losing 1-0.

Reds, Pirates both up by a run in their games

Steve Sax said...

Brewers go up 3-0 on a Lucroy HR. On to the bottom of the fifth in Atlanta.

Steve Sax said...

Now updated with screen-shotty goodness

Fred's Brim said...

Brewers shut out the Braves 5-0, St Louis and Wash tied at two

Fred's Brim said...

Oops, a Beltran homer puts STL up 4-2

Fred's Brim said...

Mets n Reds go to the 9th tied at 2

Fred's Brim said...

Pirates still up 1-0, mid-8th

Hideo Nomo said...

The tweet I saw said 3-run. Maybe it was a tweet from 2007.

Fred's Brim said...

Pirates give up a run in the bottom of the 8th, Reds with a guy at 3rd, nobody out in the 9th

Fred's Brim said...

Ludwick has left 8 runners on tonight so far but has a chance to win it with 2 on, one out

Fred's Brim said...

Aardvark gets Ludwick to pop up, 10 LOB, now walking Jay Bruce

Fred's Brim said...

Todd Frazier up with 2 outs and a rancho

Fred's Brim said...

Astros are in good shape for 110 losses

Steve Sax said...

Going to extras in Cincy, tied at 2

Fred's Brim said...

Frazier loops one to center after Choo was at third with nobody out, crazy escape act by Aardvark

Fred's Brim said...

Pirates retake the lead on the Cubbies

Fred's Brim said...

Starling Marte homer

Fred's Brim said...

Josh Satin lines one to center to lead off the 10th

Fred's Brim said...

quite a few Pie-Rats fans in Chicago

Fred's Brim said...

ugh EYJr lines into a double play, going to the bottom of the 10th in Cincy

Fred's Brim said...

Watson gets the first lefty batter with help from alvarez, Grilli in for the final 2 outs

Fred's Brim said...

according to the Mets announcers, there have been 235 extra inning games this season, 2 off the record set 2 years ago

Fred's Brim said...

Dinner draws a walk vs Grilli

Fred's Brim said...

Mourneau makes a great play at first for the second out for Pitt

Fred's Brim said...

Wash within 1 vs St Louis

Fred's Brim said...

Reds got something cooking off some cheap hits

Fred's Brim said...

Holy shit, Bucs win with a play at the plate!

Fred's Brim said...

Single by Sweeney with 2 outs, Byrd bobbles it and they send Schierholz, McCutchen via relay to Morneau around the mound nails him at home

Fred's Brim said...

Bucs get in with a Washington loss, I believe

Fred's Brim said...

Mets doing their best to let in the winning run

Fred's Brim said...

Choo with a long fly ball/game-winning single. They get in with a Wash loss as well

Fred's Brim said...

Gotta go to bed, I hope Wash can come back in the 9th

Go check out the replay of the game ender in Chicago

Gnite all

Steve Sax said...

Nats lose. Reds won too.

Steve Sax said...

Why Schierholtz didn't fully barrel into Martin at home is beyond me. Schierholtz also ran out of gas rounding third; he looked slower than Eric Karros.

Martin made the tag at the plate. He is batting .230.

Steve Sax said...

Sparks lose by a point, are bounced from the playoffs by Phoenix. Brutal.

Dusty Baker said...

Thanks for that WNBA commentary, Sax!

Steve Sax said...

I'm fast like Mercury, Dusty!

Actually, I was hoping for the LA championship trifecta: Galaxy, Sparks, and Dodgers

Dusty Baker said...

If only our roller derby team were having an up year.

Fred's Brim said...

Our jammers only have a WAR of +2
