Game 80 Thread: July 1 @ D'backs, 6.30p

Wow, this looks so 1990s! And yet it launched Joe Quesada's career...

Brett Anderson (4-4, 3.13) vs. Robbie Ray (2-3, 1.98).

Sure, Arizona starter Robbie Ray has a 1.98 ERA in six starts, coming off last year in Detroit with a much more pedestrian nine-game, six-start, 1-4 record, 8.16 ERA. But is he grander than fire? I think that's a little bit of a stretch. Ray had a solid outing on June 9 vs. the Dodgers, but still took the loss. So we can do this, boys and girls!

Meanwhile, the Dodgers escaped June with a mediocre 15-15 record (that's right: one day off, but balanced against a makeup doubleheader). I'm happy to see if July brings better fortunes...or at least, brighter rays of light.

Donnie going with another McConaughey lineup: all right, all right, all right.

Jason said...

Not a lot of take in the Dodgers' hitting approach today. So far, so good.

Orel said...

Kiké triple, Howie sac = 1-0 Dodgers

Jason said...

Joba Chamberlain is pitching for Detroit right now. Holy crap is ever on the Pablo Sandoval diet.

Orel said...

Carrasco loses no-hitter with one out left

Jason said...

The rarely seen 3-2 put out

Jason said...

Anderson is sweating like he's pitching in a sauna. This does not bode well for a deep start.

Orel said...

SVS hurt

Orel said...

Remember when Joba was Yankees...well, not quite royalty, but pretty good there?

Jason said...

I remember hoping the Dodgers would sign Joba only like 2 years ago

Jason said...

SVS leading off, ankle twist seems OK so far. Strike zone judgement, not so much.

Orel said...

Fish walkoff off Giants!

Orel said...

off off off

Orel said...

Well that was quick.

Jason said...

Like I said, not a lot of take in the Dodgers' hitting approach today

Jason said...

Just saw Matt Kemp is now the Padres' lead off hitter. That seems... ill advised.

Jason said...

Ellis is having himself a nice game. Double to deep right center after his sneaky little move in the first

Orel said...

Double-double! 2-0 Dodgers!

Orel said...

That Kemp thing stuck? Yikes

Orel said...

Just think, trading Kemp may be Friedman's best move

Jason said...

Kiké with the triple and double now.

Also my first conflicting edit error in over a year!

Orel said...

3-0! And no HRs so far

Orel said...

A conflicting edit with two of us in the thread?

Orel said...

JT RBI single! 4-0! Hit parade!

Jason said...

We both loom large in Blogger's eyes

Cliff Beefpile said...

Poking my head in to say WOW! This Ray guy is getting the crap kicked outta him.

Orel said...

Puig walks. This is entertaining.

Orel said...

Nice Raiders pun, Cliffy!

Orel said...

Five consecutive fouls for SVS

Lines out, dammit

Orel said...

Gotta jump, catch ya on the other side

Fred's Brim said...

I can't believe Saxy didn't go with the Rob Roy cocktail reference.

Fred's Brim said...

Howie moved to the two hole....

Fred's Brim said...

Nick Ahmed due for his homerun

Fred's Brim said...

this ump has a messy strikezone

Cliff Beefpile said...

Wow! They ran on Puig. I guess you gotta down 4.

Jason said...

Am I the only one that sees Rob Roy on a cocktail list and thinks Bob Boy and then thinks of a burger special?

Cliff Beefpile said...

Anderson strikes out the side.

Jason said...

No more bunting for Anderson

Fred's Brim said...

yay buntz

Jason said...

That was quite the route Kiké took to that flyball

Cliff Beefpile said...

I see Rob Roy and I think of Liam Neeson. Though NOW I'll likely think Bob's Big Boy.

Jason said...

KKAnderson

Jason said...

Huh, KKRay, I guess

Jason said...

I dislike Nick Ahmed

Hideo Nomo said...

@Orel 5:35pm

AHEM.

Jason said...

Stupid thought of the day, if typing in all caps is the written equivalent of yelling, does that make the names on jerseys a bit loud? I mean outside of the absolutely appropriate PUIG!, obviously.

Jason said...

Turner with some Uribesque defense. Turibesque?

Fred's Brim said...

HR from the cycle

Jason said...

Puig's now gotten away with 2 swinging strikes out appeal to first

Cliff Beefpile said...

Rollins finally starting to hit...and get a bit of BABIP luck.

Cliff Beefpile said...

It looks like George Lucas is sitting behind the plate.

Jason said...

Saw that too Cliff. Then I thought maybe it was thin Uncle Jesse. Those Duke boys do run him ragged.

Jason said...

Kiké with his shot...

Jason said...

Only 335 feet short

Jason said...

It's Kenley time

Jason said...

We make party!

Orel said...

Win!

Orel said...

@Gnomes, 8:09p: My bad!
