Clayton Kershaw (13-2, 1.71) vs. Hector Santiago (3-7, 3.76).
After last night's unappetizing opener, let's fast forward to the game for which everyone has been waiting: Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw vs. Angels phenom Mike Trout. The question is, with Kershaw and the Dodgers fishing, will they be able to hook any Trout?
It seems like the Angels always have our number, but the stats are that we're only 40-57 against them (Sax's note: Orel reminds me that 40-57 is indeed pretty horrible. He was always better at math.). And until last night's debacle, we were .500 at home. So all we need is for Yasiel Puig to field fly balls with aggressiveness. And Hanley Ramirez to stop making errors. And A.J. Ellis to get a hit every once in a while. And maybe get a hit with a runner in scoring position. See, that was easy! It should be like shooting fish in a barrel!

37-60 is worse
That is inarguable.
SF 0, MIL 2, top 4
Just updated the post with Orel's comment
Criminy, Paco Rodriguez is on the frickin' DL after like 10 seconds in the bigs.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON STAN CONTE
@MIL 2, SF 0, B4
I never much liked fish.
SF storming back; MIL leads 4-3
(bottom 7 btw, in milwaukee)
Dee Gordon with a leadoff double in the bottom of the first, but Puigster flies out to center. 1 out
A-Gon flies to center. Two out.
Well, that wasn't very effective.
Santiago had only 9 pitches there, thanks to incredibly early-in-count swinging by the Dodgers in the first
Kershaw in trouble, second and third with one out in the second
SF threatening in the top of the eighth, down by a run with two on and one out.
The world is falling apart here
DAMMIT
Doesn't look like Kershaw's at his sharpest tonight
Criminy, one series with the Cubs and now we've gone to hell in a handbasket
2-0 Angels, T2
Brewers escape. 4-3 MIL, B8
Kemp works an 0-2 count into a single to center. Well done, Matty.
Hit a HR here SVS
SVS walk.
Hit a HR here, Juan!
I CALLED IT
(I called the SVS homer as well, but still)
SAX CALLS IT
Amazing how I can swing from all-out depression to all-out euphoria.
That's baseball for you.
Ellis, who walked, is on second; Dee Gordon, who singled, is on first
One out (Kershaw bunt pop out)
Fuck, Puig, take a damn pitch here and there.
And, Ellis is caught sleeping at second for the third out. WTF, AJ. It's like you haven't been on the basepaths or something.
BOOOOOOO
(Still, 3-2 LAD)
The Angels are sure getting a lot of doubles off of us lately.
3-3
A.J. is kind of killing us this year
Pujols nailed at home by Uribe. Two out
Milwaukee has some sort of challenge going on there, with the SF@MIL game having a lot of red diamonds on the mlb.com gameday page. I'm reluctant to click through and find out more.
Just got mom to sleep. I'm coming in at 3-3. Has the Kid not been his normal genius self??
SF loses
Final in Milwaukee: Giants lose 4-3
Zack's bobblehead looks a little like it was inspired by The Exorcist.
Snakes losing to the Royals 11-1. In the fifth.
There you go, Kid. 1-2-3 inning in the fourth.
Epale, homies!
AJ now down to .190
Yet somehow has a .335 OBP.
Clayton Ks Trout. Love it.
@Gnomes, don't bother me with logic and statistics
Correct me if I'm wrong, but was that some good defense by a Dodger outfielder just now? Great play SVS!
Hola Gnomes!!
Sorry. I'll go back to using my eyes to watch a baseball game.
@Gnomes, you're right; Ellis' OBP is ahead of Uribe, Gonzalez, Ethier, and Crawford.
However his OWAR is below all of them except Crawford. And Ellis' OWAR trails both Greinke and Kershaw.
What's his GWAR?
His GWAR is equal to the reverse splits of his \m/
I'm blond. Can you guys talk in English? Preferably in one syllable or less?
Loved Vin's Stargel story.
Thata way to hustle Matty!
That's my boy!!! Trout who??
Boys up 4-3.
That's what I'm talking bout right there!!!
I knew it. As soon as Steiner started talking about Kershaw being in line to be a 14-game winner, I knew the lead would be toast.
I'm no fancy baseball scout... But it looks like the Halos are enjoying themselves way more than the blue crew.
AJ done good!
C'mon Dre...Be the man!!
Not loving Matty's new do.
YEAH BABEEE!!!
I will frickin' TAKE IT
Got home just in time to catch the walkoff whatever-that-was!
(cries)
PGT up!
