Game 133 Thread: Aug. 26 @ D'backs, 6:30p

"And we're going to hit you, and you, and you...."

Roberto Hernandez (7-9, 3.78) vs. Trevor Cahill (3-8, 4.54).

Hey, we love the Diamondbacks! The Dodgers are 10-4 against Arizona this season, yet haven't played them since June. This is a two-game series, and frankly anything but a sweep will be deemed an embarrassment and a disaster by Dodger fans and the media.

The Dodgers have faced Cahill four times this season (in March and April) and won three of those games. Cahill was sent to the minors for more than a month and reactivated after the All-Star break. Here's a plan: Let's help him back to the minors again.

Somebody give Gibby a quarter, so he buy himself a razor.

Fred's Brim said...

Dee grounds to second

Fred's Brim said...

Puig works a walk!

Fred's Brim said...

hmm Adrian with a grounder to second that should have been a double play, Gregorious dropped the throw, apparently on the transfer, so 2 down, AG on first

Fred's Brim said...

Mattingly had a notion to challenge but Wallach gave the thumbs down

Fred's Brim said...

ball squirts from Montero's glove, Adrian sneaks down to second

Fred's Brim said...

Matty mashes one to left for a 2-R homer!

Fred's Brim said...

the missed double play means bubble play for Matty

Fred's Brim said...

Hanley flies to right

Fred's Brim said...

Hernandez still wearing a jersey that looks like CC Sabathia wore into a sauna

Fred's Brim said...

Dee gets Enciarte but on a close play. Enciarte seems like an MSB but I haven't seen him play

Fred's Brim said...

Hernandez can't get Hill after battling back from a 3-0 count

Fred's Brim said...

Peralta with a single, 1st and 2nd for Trumbo

Fred's Brim said...

Hernandez gets the called 3rd strike on Trumbo

Fred's Brim said...

phew! Montero drills it to right but Matty tracks it down

Fred's Brim said...

CC grounds to 2nd

Fred's Brim said...

Turner strikes out swinging on a ball in the dirt

Fred's Brim said...

AJ with a roller to third

Fred's Brim said...

jeez, Hernandez hits Marte on the elbow, the ball ricocheted off AJs mask

Fred's Brim said...

Lamb Ks on a check swing
Vin: "Lamb is sheared"

Fred's Brim said...

Gregorious rips one to center, Marte goes to third, 1 out

Fred's Brim said...

Gregorious was 4-44 before that hit

Fred's Brim said...

Cahill showing bunt, Hernandez throwing balls

Fred's Brim said...

Bunt fielded by Adrian, looks Marte back to third and gets Cahill at first, 2 outs

Fred's Brim said...

the bloom is officially off the Correia/Hernandez rose. I assume the Mets are getting a phone call right now

Fred's Brim said...

Cahill gets to Hernandez's chopper

Fred's Brim said...

Cahill beats Dee up the line after a grounder to first

Fred's Brim said...

Puig hitting .238 in August

Fred's Brim said...

Puig Ks, nobody can lay off the sinking stuff from Cahill. Make him get the pitches up!

Orel said...

Cy Cahill?

Fred's Brim said...

Hernandez is wild, starting in the hole seemingly every batter

Fred's Brim said...

Arizona has 6 outs and 5 hits

Fred's Brim said...

long out to Puig

Fred's Brim said...

Montero flies to center

Fred's Brim said...

grounder to Turner who goes to Dee at second for the inning-ending force

Fred's Brim said...

I've seen way too much of Carlos Frias the last week or so. I really don't want to see his skinny ass tonight

Fred's Brim said...

Adrian draws a walk

Fred's Brim said...

looks like a lot of blue there at the Arizona baseball arena

Fred's Brim said...

and Matty draws a walk

Orel said...

Two on, no out for Hanley. Time for him to make us forget his defense

Fred's Brim said...

Hanley Ks looking
I would really love it if he could get healthy and hot in September

Fred's Brim said...

CC with a single to left, AG scores, Matty to third! 3-2 good guys!

Fred's Brim said...

Turner with a single to center, Matty scores!

Orel said...

You can't keep Turner down

Orel said...

And A.J. brings things to a screeching halt

Fred's Brim said...

AJ single to center but CC is the latest dumbass to run through a stop sign at third and is out at home, Donnie is challenging it for some reason

Orel said...

My bad. All I saw was "In play, out(s)"

Fred's Brim said...

not sure what replay Wallach saw but it's pretty clear he was out

Fred's Brim said...

wha?!? SAFE!

Fred's Brim said...

it had to be something about blocking the plate because he had the tag down

Fred's Brim said...

so 5-2 good guys, somehow. I'll take it

Orel said...

Ball not in glove?

Fred's Brim said...

Turner comes home on the bunt from Hernandez, Hernandez nearly safe on the perfectly placed/poorly played bunt

Fred's Brim said...

wow that was close, if tie goes to the runner, he's probably safe

Fred's Brim said...

6-2 good guys

Fred's Brim said...

nevermind, plain old safe!

Fred's Brim said...

Dee rips one past Hill into center, AJ comes home and we've batted around! 7-2 good guys

Fred's Brim said...

Gibby has had enough of Cahill. I am still OK with him

Orel said...

RA for Puig

Fred's Brim said...

ohhh on the CC-at-home-play, Montero had the ball in his hand, not the glove. He tagged him with the glove first and the hand second. Not sure if the hand tagging was done after CC had touched home, but that's what it seems to be

Fred's Brim said...

Puig walks

Orel said...

Gameday still says 6-2

Fred's Brim said...

OK now we've batted around

Fred's Brim said...

Adrian hits a fly ball to the track, Hernandez tags and comes in, 8-2

Fred's Brim said...

@Orel, I wonder if Gameday got all goofed up on that bunt single for Hernandez.

Fred's Brim said...

Puig steals second with nobody covering

Fred's Brim said...

Matty grounds to short

Fred's Brim said...

Vin says 6 runs is our biggest inning of the year

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

Mucho runs!!!

Fred's Brim said...

I feel like Hernandez is gonna need all of these runs

Fred's Brim said...

HO
LEE
SHIT!
Grounder deflected off Hernandez's glove, Hanley was moving up he middle to get the grounder but had to reach back to backhand the deflection, then flipped it backwards with his glove to Dee at second who threw on to first to nearly get Gregorious. It would have been an amazing double play but was still a great 1-6-4 putout

Fred's Brim said...

The new MSB does it again, grounder to right, Kemp's noodle arm can't get Gregorious who was running from second, 8-3

Fred's Brim said...

MSB steals second

Fred's Brim said...

grounder to second to end the inning

Fred's Brim said...

Ender's Game

Fred's Brim said...

Hanley hits hard to right but Peralta ran it down

Fred's Brim said...

CC strikes out after working the count full

Fred's Brim said...

Turner strikes out

Fred's Brim said...

Cmon, Berto, how about a clean inning?

Fred's Brim said...

roller to first, AG takes the force but is unsuccessful trying for the runner at second, 2 outs

Fred's Brim said...

Mattingly is reviewing the play at second now

Fred's Brim said...

the throw was late, but Hanley kept the tag on his leg for a while after, Peralta may have taken his foot off the bag for a moment.

But he was ruled safe

Fred's Brim said...

I think his right foot was still on the bag

Fred's Brim said...

Cmon, Bert, finish this

Fred's Brim said...

dumb passed ball, Peralta to third

Fred's Brim said...

Marte with a chopper to second to end the inning

Fred's Brim said...

Vin talking about the first televised game

Fred's Brim said...

"the Dodgers lost to the Reds, wouldn't ya know it?"

Fred's Brim said...

AJ with another single

Fred's Brim said...

Hernandez bunting like he wants the coaches to let him swing

Fred's Brim said...

Delgado throwing nasty breaking balls, Hernandez can't get his bat on them cleanly and Ks

Fred's Brim said...

Dee with a sharp single, AJ to second

Fred's Brim said...

Puig pops to first

Fred's Brim said...

ugh, Adrian singles, AJ thrown out at the plate on a close play, good throw from Peralta

Fred's Brim said...

"Federowicz would have scored on that!"

Dusty Baker said...

Where dat lineup?

Fred's Brim said...

CC overrules by Puig to make the catch in left center. You could hear CC screaming "I got it" but in the end he deferred to Puig

Fred's Brim said...

Madison Bumgarner PERFECT through 6

Dusty Baker said...

Why can't Big Mac grab Puig by the scruff and tell him to stop fucking swinging at the first pitch and not to push so hard?

Fred's Brim said...

Gregorious Ks

Fred's Brim said...

Mac should juice up again so he can handle Puig

Fred's Brim said...

Delgado pops to third, nice inning for Hernandez

Fred's Brim said...

Matty battles but fouls to right

Fred's Brim said...

Hanley gets a bloop hit

Dusty Baker said...

Please dear Vin, do NOT let there be a fucking stupid piece of shit perfect game pitched by a Gnat tonight (or any night).

Fred's Brim said...

CC follows with a ground hit to left

Fred's Brim said...

Turner singles on a grounder to left, Hanley was sent home and gets there safely on a close play, 9-3 good guys!

Fred's Brim said...

Gibby done with Delgado

Fred's Brim said...

AJ strikes out

Fred's Brim said...

Dre up for Hernandez. Not a great start but it works

Fred's Brim said...

perfect no-hitter shutout through 7

Fred's Brim said...

Dre grounds to third

Fred's Brim said...

ugh, I need bed. Can I trust our bullpen to not blow this?

Gnite all

Dusty Baker said...

Bumgarner is IMPERFECT!

Dusty Baker said...

Dodgers win 9-5 but it seemed like we lost 10-9.
