Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-0, -.--) vs. Trevor Cahill (0-0, -.--)
Best record in baseball, baby! And, no matter the outcome tonight, Dodgers are guaranteed to have (or be tied for) the best record in baseball until March 30th! Aren't small sample sizes and weird regular season games during Spring Training just THE BEST?
Speaking of small sample sizes, Puig's ugly-ish offensive output from Spring carried into last night when he went 0-5 with 3 Ks. Vin mentioned how much of the game is "played between the ears," so let's hope he can shake it off starting tonight. As cool as Van Slyke's night was, he shouldn't be asked to carry the load every night. He already has to carry that increasingly epic beard.
This is the final game in Sydney before the team heads home tomorrow to play a few more meaningless games. No all-nighters required for this one, thankfully. Sax and AC will be back in the Cricket Ground and Team Killeen will be back at Sportsnet LA. Me? If I'm still awake by game time, I'll be checking out Gameday Audio.
It's time for Dodgeridoo baseballaby.

DAMMIT.
Sure, sit the guy that won the game for you last night.
Welcome Original-Flavor Orel to our Twitter followers!
On the 405. 40 minutes and only at LAX. UGH - BJ via Scott's phone.
Give our regards to Amy, BJ!
On the couch for game 2 of this doubleheader, Vinny!
On the sofa, Vinny!
Calling in - Stone Ruination growler and some pizza on the way. Radio only, but sheeeeyat...let's do this.
Where are Saxy and AC's seats tonight?
Emma Birdsall's legs are a bit distracting
That is one shitty national anthem, if that's what that was.
How many bunts will Dee try tonight?
@FB
All his swings are bunts.
Empty seats in certain sections, they must be stuck on the 110
I just let out a huge "On the sofa, Vinny!!!!!" and all my neighbors heard it. I'd been waiting to let that out for a long time.
Howdy, earthlings!
épale everyone!
on the drafting table, Vinny! :(
Good to see Yas get off the schneid, hopefully Hanley will break out too
Damn Aussies show up late and leave early, don't they?
Stubbly! And Karina!
They need more training on the anticipated home run gasp down there.
Dee Gordon, showing off that pitchers mound power
épale, K!
Good to smell you, Stubbs!
I've got your two foot hot dog.
My stench is in mid-season form, in fact
In the seats at the studio.
At least yasiel got a hit
figures some dude in a Boston jersey would be eating the 2-foot hot dog
Wish y'all were here.
Puig steals!
The big weiner costs $40 according to Vin. I figured it was fun number but exaggerated by the exchange rate but that's $36 USD
@BJ
Where you at?
@FB
Gives new meaning to the phrase 40-dog, doesn't it, FB?
We'll, ok then.
It's a start!
DRE gets us on the board
it do, DB
Dusty: at the SportsNet LA studios.
Nice BJ. How'd you swing that?
second time we've been thrown out at second getting greedy. Clayton's attempt was pretty silly but I thought Dre would get there easily
One-nil to the good guys. Feels right.
She never left from this morning.
She's been sleeping on the couch with Orel
Dodgers on the board, even if Andre can't leg out a double in this expansive ground. No worries, mate!
@FB
Dre doesn't get anywhere easily.
Dusty, we all got invited back, but I couldn't manage two trips.
Orel Orel, or SoSG Orel?
Why can't Dre run to second on a gapper?
I'm extremely disappointed by the fact that Sons/Team K were invited somewhere, and then invited back. That means you were, what do they call it, nice last night.
"Give your girlfriend your glove back!" --Aussie guy screaming to the other guy who dropped the foul ball
I got your two long lazy balls right here.
Wait...
The outfield seats look like a Marlins game
Dusty: we have three hours to ruin our reputation. We will make you proud.
Delino totally farted in Larry King's chair.
Adrian forgot how to bend over
I missed all you idgits so much. Glad we're all back here. Next round at the Assassin's Circle Bar is on me.
@Dusty: that just means time warner cable just hasn't found delino's "gift" yet
stupid field
Just met Nomar. Cool.
Neeebs' mom didn't forget how to bend over.
These mics are picking up everything. Sax, shout something!
Delino going top shelf is the gift that keeps on giving
@BJ
Three hours is plenty of time to ruin our rep. Hell, we could ruin it, gain it back, and ruin it again in that time frame.
Aw, I should have gone to meet NOMAAAAAAH.
Ten innings into the season and we already have a top shelf reference. Nice.
1-0 through one. Nice K, KangaRyu
BJ, is there swag again, or has that train sailed?
Someday soon I hope to watch a game on our 60" in our own chairs. AT&T UVerse is getting on my last good nerve
Nomo: no swag but free pizza on the way.
KangaRyu - holy shit it was right there under our noses all along.
Ryu's leaving some balls up.
*inserts balls up joke*
Nomo: still time. C'mon down
@nomo: you should have heard me last night behind the plate. Ump was squeezing Kershaw so I screamed "c'mon ump!" twice. And then I screamed it in an Aussie accent ("ceom awn ump!") and the section cracked up.
But yes, Aussies so far are more excited for foul balls
It was in this post, even!
Vin said Goolagong
Baaaaxxter? Like that cat commercial
Just realized I was a half-inning behind thanks to the MLB.tv pseudo-DVR feature. I feel like I just found a $20 in the couch cushions.
Sax: get up and go to the row behind the batter in the tv sights and Scott will shoot you on the screen!!
Was Baxter the fat stripey dude from Great Space Coaster? Goriddle Gorilla never respected him
@Jason is your MLB.tv jumping around? I can't tell if it's MLB.tv or the satellite feed from the other side of the world
Uribe robbed
@Nomo
It's just now sinking in enough for me to mention it.
@Jason
Catch up already. Hint: They killed Kennedy, we allegedly put a man on the moon, McRib sandwich happened, iPhones...that's pretty much all that's happened that you missed.
Let us know when you're in place Sax.
Gonzo with the dance moves
nice catch, AG
terrible camerawork, director
Weird getting used to Trumbo as a Snake.
Saxy needs to be yelling after that one
@FB - MLB.tv feed seems fine.
@DB - Spoiler alert dude!
@Jason - hmm must be my internet
You're gonna love Trumbo as a Snake if they keep him in left, DB.
nice work, HJ
1-0 us!
1-0 good guys? He'll yeah!
Trumbo seems like one of those weird sex acts that one can read about on the internet.
Niiiice turnout tonight. Feels like old times.
BJ : not sure if I can finagle it down there. Will try
Ok. Let me know
Are you not on field level?
Watch Dee bunt into double play here
HJ gets us going!
Babe Ryuth is back.
Dayton beats Orange Menp
Sex is on the internet now? What'll they think of next?
Dee Gordon?
Deeeeeeee
13 pounds of what?
Dee Gordon just shut my ass up with that double. But he should have scored on that rundown
attaboy, Puig
that was dumb, Puig
Dee power?
three guys thrown out on the bases
I remember we did that a ton to start last season too
That was a very Puig moment
Get him home, Hanley
I want to apologize to you fine people for misleading you earlier. I am actually drinking a Stone Arrogant Bastard growler, not the Ruination that was also in my fridge and easily mixed up. I am sorry for the error, and have sacked the person who designed similar labels for Stone growlers.
i guess that wasn't a strike. I'll take it
Cahill on the ropes. Let's put the boot to his throat.
Puig's slide back into first looked REALLY awkward. Like Kemp's busted ankle awkward.
get him home, Adrian
that's how you do it, attaboy, AG
Scoreboard operator having a really tough time here with the runs. It's 3-0 now, right?
I've got 3-0 with the AGon sac fly. And no wickets.
Come on, Dre. I really want to type "Dre Day" or something old but familiar like that.
@Dusty maybe you already drank the Ruination and you don't remember it
@Sax
I'm hoping for a century.
Don't forget about Dre!
nice work, Dre!
55 pitches for Cahill.
Gotta get another Carlton Draught, mates. 3-0 through 2.5
good inning, fellas
Mascot races at the half-inning. Soooooo glad we don't have a mascot.
Stubbs is our mascot.
Booze is our mascot.
To be fair, O'Reilly stands have club-level-like concession stands, indoors and air conditioned and carpeted.
3-0 after three, to the Dodgers.
phew, thought that one was outtie 5G
No more Vinny. (cries)
Where the hell is Fanerman?
Where the hell is RBN? Oh, wait, I know where RBN is #Arsenal #6-0toChelsea
We still have him Dusty. Will fill ya in if he has any zingers
Uribe robbed a little
great bunt, HJ
Dee-lite.
Groove is in the house.
Dee keeps us going with a dribbler up the middle
Dusty you are invoking my wrath that shall burn with the intensity of a thousand sons.
Starting with Stubbs.
Dee-lightful!
Stubbs will be the first one against the wall when the revolution comes.
Hey, it wasn't me that told the Gooners to limp home down the stretch.
Rancho Hanliendo!
Hanley get's another shot, this time with some rancho action
gets
HanRam fouls out. Boooo
hmm time to take a pitch and shave the weird beard
We are in Cahill's dome
@Sax: Get a photo with the heckler statue in left field.
People are cheering the wave here
Wave > Diamondbacks batting
@Jason: that's no statue. That's AC
jeez, Dee. did those 13 pounds go to your left hand?
it's only the bottom of the 4th?
Huh, AC looks better than I remember from the last SOSGFest.
This game does seem to have a bit of a Yankees-Red Sox pace to it. The extra long commercial breaks aren't helping.
oof that was horrendous
Whaaaa?
Jaysus, that was goofy
Dee was there too early
WTF was that?
To be fair to Hanley, Dee was way late and taking a terrible angle to second base there.
Dee was already stepping over the bag when Hanley looked up after catching the ball
I think there's a new Beast in the house
Puig showing some smart defense running the ball into first since Gonzo was way out in right there.
@FB - You're right. I saw Dee's angle like he was running straight to third base trying to make up for his bad break towards the bag and it looked like Hanley didn't trust that Dee could pivot for a relay.
What's score? I'm in the dark here people help a brotha out
Monster!
Attaboy, HJ, way to work out of that mess
So much harder than it should have been, but it's a 0.
Ryu wriggles out. 3-0 through 4
Still 3-0, DBT
DAMMIT
Sweet nibblets
Thx Stubbs
Fifth inning finally. Fifth means you open a new fifth, right?
Second dammit of the season. We're in fine form, dear readers.
@Jason I bet Dee doesn't really trust himself on those tough ones either
Right, so who do I write my strongly worded letter to regarding the disturbing lack of Dodger baseball on my TV?
And my disturbing lack of goals by a certain North London football club.
#wherehasmyArsenalgone?
#FreeDodgerBaseball
Nice start, Adrian
I'm drunk and it's only the 5th inning... Of a game I act watch... And relying on other drunks for scores
AGon steals a base and takes third! That whole thing was in slo-mo!
Of course A-Gon steals second.
Defensive up-fuckery for everyone!
@DBT
We wouldn't have it any other way!
AGon leads MLB in SB. Take the screenshot now
wow, how the hell did that work out? Every other time we get even remotely aggressive on the basepaths, it ends badly
@RBN
Not meaning to pile on your Gunners. Just wanted to lure you out if hiding.
Watching AGon run is equivalent to undergoing surgery without anesthesia
