Game 2 Thread: Mar. 22/23 @ DBacks, 7p

Kanga...Ryu! Get it? HAHAHAHAHAHA. (I'm so tired.)

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.

Get him home, Andre

Steve Sax said...

AC is calling for the double steal here

Dusty Baker said...

I could use some Mini Sirloin Burgers about right now.

Steve Sax said...

Let's go jellis

Fred's Brim said...

AC is calling for another Victoria Bitter

Fred's Brim said...

Get him home, AJ

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Are we still in first place?

Fred's Brim said...

how are we going to screw this up?

Fred's Brim said...

get him home, Mike

BJ Killeen said...

That's how

Franklin Stubbs said...

RBI of shame for Baxter

Dusty Baker said...

4-0 lead now, DBT. What are you pounding tonight?

Fred's Brim said...

a run is a run I suppose

Franklin Stubbs said...

God bless that fat little man.

Fred's Brim said...

Uribe ripped that one!
5-0 good guys!

Fred's Brim said...

he's been hitting the ball hard all tonight

Dusty Baker said...

5-0!!! One more and it's a Chelsea v Arsenal score. (sorry RBN)

Can we play you every week, Snakes?

Fred's Brim said...

Ryu is hurt, his foot or ankle or something. He tweaked it an inning or two ago during his follow through on the mound

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@DB chugging my own home brew. I call it Blonde IPA. It's the shit

Andrew said...

Pretty sure the price of Ben-Gay just went up in Sydney #AGon #rapido

Dusty Baker said...

@DBT

I'll be over in about 5 minutes.

Fred's Brim said...

unacceptable

Fred's Brim said...

there it is again

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@DB sorry dude I'm on the last bottle! It's in to Sam Boston Lager after this one

Dusty Baker said...

@DBT re Sam

I'll be over in about five minutes.

Fred's Brim said...

that's how you turn it. Hanley didn't have to take 12 steps to get to the bag

Paul said...

Fuck we should be ahead 24-0.

Paul said...

Hey Dodgers are on...Jeter talk anyone?

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Damn I just remembered I have MLB at bat and check scores on my phone

Paul said...

D-Mode.

Franklin Stubbs said...

I'd love to see Dee work it out this year

Fred's Brim said...

holy cow that was a spring training throw

Paul said...

Stubbs? Is that really you?

Paul said...

Lookin good Puig.

Fred's Brim said...

damn Puig ripped that one

Paul said...

What does Donnie's arm tattoo say?

Fred's Brim said...

I really hope Hanley can get it going

Dusty Baker said...

It feels like Dbags are still in spring training mode.

Paul said...

I'm guessing Live Free or Bunt.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@fred Puig ripped what? Details bro c'mon

Franklin Stubbs said...

6-0 and plenty left to play

Franklin Stubbs said...

Yasiel victimized Trumbo down the line in left

rbnlaw said...

Dusty:
Fair play. I've had my fun at the expense of rivals.

Now about this TV embargo. . .

Fred's Brim said...

@DBT, Puig pulled one that landed down in the corner to knock in Lil Dee, 6-0 good guys

Franklin Stubbs said...

What's shakin', PJ?

rbnlaw said...

Dusty:
Fair play. I've had my fun at the expense of rivals.

Now about this TV embargo. . .

Hideo Nomo said...

I want Dee to play at least half as well as he thinks he does.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@fred nice!

Paul said...

D bags might have the oldest looking pitching staff.

Paul said...

@Stubbs

Everything after that Uribe double.

Dusty Baker said...

I want Dee to play half as well as I think he can.

Paul said...

I want to drink this whiskey as quick as I think I can.

Paul said...

Puig what the hell.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Newcastle x2 down the hatch and I want my Dodger baseball

Dusty Baker said...

Glad Puig has spent a lot of time learning baserunning from the best over the off season.

Fred's Brim said...

4 guys out on the basepaths

Franklin Stubbs said...

Yasiel giveth, Yasiel taketh away

karina said...

OT: is someone playing fantasy baseball this season? :(

karina said...

still on the drafting table, Vin :(

Dusty Baker said...

What is Stubbs doing? I assume it's a Scotch-based approach.

Fred's Brim said...

Throw strikes, Chris

Paul said...

Throw strikes!!

Dusty Baker said...

Throw fucking strikes!

Neeebs (The Original) said...

I cant even scream "throw strikes" because I cant see the game. FU TWC

Fred's Brim said...

will there ever be a time when we get Goldschmidt out on a consistent basis? How can the Giants and other NL West teams dominate him but we can't even hope to get him out?

Paul said...

That turned out well.

Dusty Baker said...

I have no idea if he was throwing strikes or not bc I also can't see the game, but I just trusted our readership.

Fred's Brim said...

way to work out of that, Chris

Hideo Nomo said...

There's always one Dodger killer in the NL West. He is but the latest to wear the crown.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Can i buy u a drink DB?

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Are we still on first place?

Dusty Baker said...

Why, sure Neeebs. I'm having some Stone Arrogant Bastard.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

I'm hanging out at the Assassin's Bar and it doesn't even have the game on. #noassassinscirclethisyearyouslackers

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@karina fantasy draft tomorrow. Will are you in or going auto draft?

Franklin Stubbs said...

Maybe we'll do Assassin's Circle for the all-star break.

Paul said...

Baxter is up. Now I envy you all that can't watch.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

AZ pitcher is such a Putz

karina said...

@Dusty Baker's toothpick not sure, but is there a spot for my team?

BJ Killeen said...

Someone get Gibby a wheelchair

Jason said...

Vin befuddled by technology is just the cutest thing.

karina said...

Michael's Furniture Warehouse is the best commercial on sportsnet la

Dusty Baker said...

@Neeebs

I'm trying to use this mom-TV situation positively to teach the Dustettes how to appreciate the game the old fashioned way, and to picture it in their mind instead of having to actually see it.

(cries)

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@karina our league is full. I'm drunak and can't type. Meant to say, William are you autodrafting? William is in our league .

Fred's Brim said...

Uribe rips another one to third but this time they can't make a play

Dusty Baker said...

Gettin Figgy widdit.

Dusty Baker said...

mom-TV - hah! Non-TV. Jesus christ ghost of Steve Jobs, it's not that hard.

Dusty Baker said...

"drunak"

This will be our word this season for drunk.

Dusty Baker said...

Bases are loaded, as so is DBT.

Fred's Brim said...

Chonie draws the walk to load the bases for Dee

Paul said...

7-0 Dodgers. Throw your Chones in the air.

Fred's Brim said...

Dee with the sac fly!

Dusty Baker said...

Puig 3-3 coming up with 2 on. Let's put this to bed.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Is it too early to make party? I've been making party since the Kings 4-0 victory at 3:40pm

Dusty Baker said...

Fuck yeah, Jonathan Quick!

karina said...

:(

no fantasy baseball for me this year, this is what happens when you care for news :(

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Drunak... That's Australian for fucked up

karina said...

300!

Fred's Brim said...

For those of you without TV, they just showed Vin petting a koala

Dusty Baker said...

You gotta keep an outlet, K.

Dusty Baker said...

"petting a koala"

Paul said...

Can we start beaning D bags yet?

Neeebs (The Original) said...

At FB. That includes 70% of Los Angeles

Dusty Baker said...

I'm straight ready to piss in someone's pool already.

Paul said...

Btw "Beaning the D bags" is a great Flaming Menudos gangsta rap song.

Paul said...

I'm only able to watch on the MLB network. Where everyone is petting Jeter.

Fred's Brim said...

throw strikes, Pac

Dusty Baker said...

Paul makes a good point. Can we just all get back to talking about Jeter.

Fred's Brim said...

Sheezus it's only the 7th and we've hit 1AM here already

Fred's Brim said...

Jamey Wright back for a second term can't be a good thing

Paul said...

They just showed Smoltz petting a koala...that thing gets around.

Hideo Nomo said...

The first game was much speedier.

BJ Killeen said...

Wright = Wrong wrong wrong

Fred's Brim said...

throw strikes, Jameyiey

Fred's Brim said...

they'll be the same length including the 45-minute rain delay this morning

Fred's Brim said...

phew

Dusty Baker said...

I want to finish this off and watch Game of Thrones. Can we hit FF?

Paul said...

I need to catch up on House of Cards.

Dusty Baker said...

I'm only 4 episodes into HoC season 2. Blowing me away.

BTW, GoT and HoC - same thing, different era. #power

Fred's Brim said...

attaboy, Hanley, find the feeling

Neeebs (The Original) said...

Walking dead tomorrow FWIW

Dusty Baker said...

@FB

But enough about the Oilers.

Dusty Baker said...

I meant Neeebs^

BJ Killeen said...

Okay, the lack of sleep is starting to catch up to me. I hope I don't oversleep and miss my flight tomorrow morning.

Jason said...

SOSG: Home of the Drunakians.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Just pokin' my head in while I'm studying for mid-terms. Hot damn do I love beating the d-bags. Go Blue!

p.s. Solve this shit already, Time Warner and DirecTV.

Jason said...

Vin just bestowed the nickname "suitcase" on Wright

Dusty Baker said...

The Drunakians are like Dothrakians but too drunk to ride horses.

karina said...

@Dusty Baker Stubbs says the same, I guess if 2 sons think the same, must be right

karina said...

I need pictures or videos of Vinny petting the koala, so I can look at it when I am sad or angry

Jason said...

Here you go, karina.

BJ Killeen said...

Vinny's petting the Koala again!

Fred's Brim said...

Finish this, JP

Fred's Brim said...

that'll work

Fred's Brim said...

It's good to see Dominguez again

Fred's Brim said...

less so after issuing a walk

Franklin Stubbs said...

Loud out

Jason said...

Phew, that was close

Fred's Brim said...

Dominguez making sure he's headed to ABQ when he gets back to the states

Paul said...

Never easy.

Fred's Brim said...

Sheezus Donnie, let Maholm finish this. I need to go to bed

Fred's Brim said...

yeesh, Maholm could have done that

BJ Killeen said...

Argh. I hate these relief pitchers.

Paul said...

Make back to preseason party!

Fred's Brim said...

there we go, WE MAKE 2-0 PARTY!
Gnite yall!

Jason said...

About time! Making non-early-morning party!

Hideo Nomo said...

I didn't quite make it, lads and lasses. Fell asleep sometime in the ninth and woke up when Maholm got pulled. Oh well... MAKE PARTY.

Steve Sax said...

Shit gents, that was closer that I thought! But a win is a win. 2-0!

Steve Sax said...

PGT up!
