Brett Anderson (2-2, 3.61) vs. Williams Perez (0-0, 6.14).
It's a special Baseball Hall of Fame matchup on Memorial Day 2015, as we've got starting pitchers who reflect four Baseball HOF members in their four names. This phenomenon hasn't happened since...well shoot, I am not exactly sure how to look that one up on Baseball Reference. But it seems pretty uncommon, right?
I want to be excited about the fact that this marks Perez' first career start, however we all have heard about how the Dodgers struggle seeing new starting pitchers. And the fact we've scored nine runs in their last eight games doesn't give me a lot of confidence, either. Or this, from mlb.com's game preview: "[Perez] generated whiffs on 38.5% of his changeups (5-for-13) and 33.3% of his curveballs (3-for-9)." Hoo boy, looks like another low-scoring affair is in the works for the boys in blue. That statistic is certainly the last [name] thing that I wanted to hear.

Clever nameplay, Sax!
opening pitches were a fucking hot mess. fucking hilarious
RA for Spank's boy with 2 out in the 1st.
Dre draws the RA walk. 1-0 for the good.
1-0 after 1. A deluge of runs by Blue standards.
At the AAA Dodgers game and Corey Seager just destroyed a ball for a 1-0 lead with the Bees coming up
Far be it for me to question HanRam's defensive skills but I find myself not feeling it necessary to hold my breath this year when ball is hit to JRoll.
Hmmmmm....
3-0 lil' good guys
All tied up at 1 here with the big good guys.
At the game here. What was the story on Anderson?
Braves up 2-1 after 5.
My Lasorda garden gnome tried to eat Mrs. Quad's pizza. I had to jump in and save it.
Q7...Are you talking about when Conti went to the mound to check on him? Whatever it was it seemed to be downplayed and Vinny remarked that if he was hurt Anderson would know better then to stay in the game and possibly hurt his team.
If that's not what you're asking about then I missed whatever else went on.
That was it Karen. Thanks for the update.
Rollins needs to work on his bunting more.
Bunted back to the pitcher twice and has had a runner thrown out at third both times.
RA for AGon! Let's do this!
this is it, right here. bases loaded, one out, bottom seven, down 2-1. A-Gon up.
Here we go.
Wherever Spanky is, I hope he's got his rally thong on.....
Not exactly the statement RBI for which I was looking, but okay.
