Game 72 Thread: June 16 vs. Rockies, 7p

Not to be confused with tonight's Rockies starter.

Hyun-Jin Ryu (7-3, 3.33) vs. Tyler Matzek (1-0, 2.57).

The Rockies, previously our benefactors, are now the enemy. Colorado completed their first three-game sweep of the Giants at AT&T Park for the first time since 2008, and helped the Dodgers climb from 9.5 to 6.5 games out.

But now the Rockies are a mere two games behind the Dodgers themselves, and they've got a rookie phenom on the mound in their 12th-highest ranked prospect, the lefty Matzek.

Meanwhile, the Dodger,s are looking to rebound from yesterday's mistake-plagued loss and start a new winning streak that will likely end at two or three games. At least they haven't gone on a losing streak lately. Ha ha, knock on wood!

Let's see if we can get fewer than last night's 17 comments. We can do it!

So far, so good

Bills done for the season and done for the Dodgers.

Unless Colletti gets that check book again.

Watching the cards beat up some poor meta pitcher with a bad mullet. 5-1 STL, B5

Rest in Peace Tony.

Dodgers in trouble early, but Ryu strands two in the first.

Orel said...

Dee singles, CS

Fred's Brim said...

Ryu not sharp the the early going. Why can't he pitch at home?

karen said...

It seems like Ryu always struggles in the early innings.

Fred's Brim said...

Ryu looks good after the leadoff double

karen said...

Alanna Rizzo was saying in the pregame that Dee is close with TGwynnJr and knew Senior pretty well and that he was pretty shaken and couldn't talk about it before the game.

Fred's Brim said...

SVS with a mashed double. The marine layer feeling thick tonight

Orel said...

Who would have thought Tony Gwynn would pass before Vin?

karen said...

Dee with the triple and error goes all the way around the bases. 1-0 Boys.

Orel said...

Inside-Dee-park HR!

karen said...

Oh Orel. I can't even let my mind wander there where Vinny is concerned.

Steve Sax said...

Dee with a sweet triple, plus error, equals inside the park HR. I love how the dugout dances when someone comes in after scoring a run. Clayton always seems in the middle of it

karen said...

MKW pleased. 2-0 Boys.

karen said...

Kings bringing Stanley Cup to DS tomorrow night.

Orel said...

Beat me to it, MKW!

Orel said...

Still 2-1 Dodgers, top 5

Orel said...

To the bottom of the fifth we go. Puig-Kemp-SVS up

karen said...

Puig scores on AJ's single. 3-1 Dodgers.

Orel said...

Martin in for Matzek

Steve Sax said...

How do we have 11 hits and only 3 runs?!

Steve Sax said...

Kemp baby! 5-1

karen said...

Matty with a long double. Dodgers leading 5-1 with 2 out in 6th.

Hideo Nomo said...

I am pleased with this evening's events.

Oh, and the game is good, too.

Steve Sax said...

Who the hell is Carlos triunfel?!

Hideo Nomo said...

Oh, are you not familiar with Charlie Try n' Fail?

Steve Sax said...

6-1 final! We are now 6 back.

FOOTSTEPS!
