Game 83 Thread: June 28 vs. Cardinals, 4p

Zack Greinke (9-4, 2.89) vs. Lance Lynn (8-5, 2.90)

Possibility for four-game win streak: over.



For now. The new streak starts TODAY, people. There are 15 games until the All Star Game break according to the SoSG research department, so plenty of time to get a four-game streak if not a fifteen-game streak. (Baseball Gods: I mean a winning one, not a losing one!)

Let's get this one for Fred's Brim and Mrs. Fred's Brim, who welcomed the newest little Dodger to their family yesterday!

At the Yard, Vinny!

Steve Sax said...

Congrats Fred's Brim from a prison in Turkey

karen said...

Dusty getting to see a fun one out at the yard.

Steve Sax said...

Open up the floodgates, man! 7-0 in the second and Lance Lynn isn't out of it yet

Steve Sax said...

Gordon with his second double of the day. Could have been a triple, except Greinke was ahead of him on the basepaths!

Steve Sax said...

11 hits for the Dodgers. Second and third with one out in the third, Dodgers up 7-1

Steve Sax said...

Puig lines it straight to Carpenter for out #2

Steve Sax said...

Thom Brenneman giving Eric Karros some crap, while showing an Oldtimers Game clip with Karros "running" to first and being thrown out by 10 miles.

"You haven't lost a step!"

Steve Sax said...

Uribe grounds to short for the third out.

7-1 LA through three innings.

Steve Sax said...

Man it looks like a beautiful day out there. I'm jealous, guys and girls.

Steve Sax said...

Greinke gets Adams for strike three looking. One out in the fourth.

Steve Sax said...

Cards have two hits so far: Double from Adams, and a solo HR from Carpenter (two out in the third).

Steve Sax said...

Gordon, Ethier, and Ellis all have multi-hit games for us.

What happened to Turner such that Rojas had to sub for him?

Steve Sax said...

Damn Fox blacking out the video highlights

Steve Sax said...

Uribe with a decent defensive play on a high-hopping grounder to third. Two out

Steve Sax said...

Molina flies to Puig for the last out (and looks like he got confused that this was the third out, too).

7-1 through 3.5

Steve Sax said...

Wow, Kemp just poked that golf ball for a single, on a 1-2 pitch. Nice job, Matty. That looked effortless.

Steve Sax said...

Brenneman fellating Adam Wainwright right here during an in-game interview.

I mean, Wainwright seems like a good enough guy and everything, and is pretty articulate, but Thom has to get out of Adam's pants here.

Steve Sax said...

Ethier Ks on a full count.

Steve Sax said...

Two out, Kemp on first

Steve Sax said...

Rojas doesn't last very long.

Steve Sax said...

7-1 Dodgers through four innings.

karen said...

Sax...Turner either started cramping or had a hammy issue or something like that while running from first to second on his double. I had to run a quick errand so don't know if any announcement has been made.

Steve Sax said...

@karen: thanks for the update.

They played a clip with Stan Conte totally up in HanRam's grill, and Mattingly having to help Conte out as Hanley didn't want to listen to whatever Stan was saying.

I hope Hanley isn't hurt.

Steve Sax said...

Lester has a no-hitter through five innings (Yankees vs. Red Sox)

Steve Sax said...

so Brazil, Colombia advance

Steve Sax said...

C'mon Greinke, get Mellis

Steve Sax said...

Mellis check swing, but not enough. K.

Steve Sax said...

Greinke with 7 Ks now

Steve Sax said...

Descalso bloops one into center, so fist and second with one out and Cardinals P Greenwood up.

Steve Sax said...

Now Brenneman fellates mlb.com's customer service

Unbelievable, this guy

Steve Sax said...

Greenwood with the sac bunt. Second and third, two out. Come on, Greinke

Steve Sax said...

Dammit. I started my Time Machine backup, and now mlb.tv is choppier than a Benihana meal.

Greinke gets the K for the final out. Carpenter fooled looking. Nice.

Steve Sax said...

Greinke with 8 Ks through five.

Steve Sax said...

Marvel Puzzle Quest is a good game, but now that they've done this "True Healing" update, it sucks a lot more. Original Black Widow isn't as powerful as she used to be.

BOOOOOO

Steve Sax said...

Now they're bagging on the Oyster Pubes rule about no plate blocking. I agree. It's stupid.

Steve Sax said...

Gordon flies to right for the third out. First 1-2-3 inning for StL all day.

7-1 through five.

karen said...

Yeah, the new to block or not to block the plate rule is way to vague.

Steve Sax said...

Greinke with a sweet sixth, very easy

Steve Sax said...

Puig out by a hair at first, on a grounder to third.

Steve Sax said...

Not earning a lot of NikeFuel this morning, watching this game on the computer

Steve Sax said...

Urine just looking like he's poking the ball, not swinging.

Uribe is 0-for-2 now having just grounded to second.

Steve Sax said...

Karros with a supportive, but balanced, perspective on Puig.

Steve Sax said...

Into the seventh. Greinke with 9 Ks, to start the inning.

Steve Sax said...

Liner to Puig for the first out in the seventh.

Steve Sax said...

Grounder to second for out #2

Steve Sax said...

Mellis is bating .195 this year. Brutal!

Steve Sax said...

Greinke is batting .161 fwiw.

And Mellis Ks to end the inning. Greinke with 10 Ks.

On to the stretch!

Steve Sax said...

"A 9.5-game deficit has turned into a 2-game deficit"

Steve Sax said...

Oh shit, Maholm is in!

And he's gotten two Ks on six pitches

Steve Sax said...

Carpenter JUST thrown out by Rojas. That was really close at first. On to the bottom of the eighth!

Steve Sax said...

AJ with a ground out to third.

Steve Sax said...

Clint Robinson, ladies and gentlemen.

Steve Sax said...

Clint was just called up. First AB, at least of the year.

Steve Sax said...

Robinson reaches on an error!

Steve Sax said...

E-1

Steve Sax said...

Gordon up with a man on first and one out. Gordon is 2-for-4 with a double and RBI

Steve Sax said...

Adams feeds Fornataro with an underhand throw to first, and Fornataro acts like he's being thrown a grenade. Runners at first and second.

Steve Sax said...

Puig with a single to right, so it's Rancho Ardiendo!

Gordon wins the "Game Changer" award for the game.

Here's Uribe

Steve Sax said...

Uribe with a two-RBI shot up the middle, scoring Robinson and Gordon!

9-1 LA, men on first and second, one out

spank said...

mo runs

Steve Sax said...

and...my MLB.tv feed has buffering issues.

Steve Sax said...

Adrian Gonzalez GIDP to end the inning.

Man, if we can just get A-Gon back on track...

Steve Sax said...

9-1 through eight full innings.

Steve Sax said...

two out, two on in the ninth for Chris Perez

Steve Sax said...

Perez hits Peralta, to load the bases for today, and piss off the Cardinals for tomorrow.

Bases loaded for St Louis.

Steve Sax said...

Perez with a 2-2 count to Mellis, looking like a heart attack as usual

Steve Sax said...

PGT up!
