Game 125 Thread: August 26 @ Reds, 4p

The allegedly evil Ron Roenicke, about to shoot Emperor-style lightning bolts at umpire Mark Ripperger

Brett Anderson (7-8, 3.52) vs. [David Holmberg (1-3, 6.57), as well as vs. Ron Roenicke (1-5)].

When last these two pitchers squared off, 11 days ago, the Dodgers romped to victory and Holmberg lasted only two measley innings, giving up seven earned runs in the process. We've won rematch #1 this series, but don't think this one will go down so easy. This time, we've got Ron Roenicke on our coaching staff. Who knows what will happen.

"Sax hates Roenicke" is my favorite thing right now.

Steve Sax said...

@gnomes, I just edited the pitching line in the GT, just for you

Steve Sax said...

Is my spelling of "measley" correct?

Hideo Nomo said...

You're the man, Saxy!

Hideo Nomo said...

But no, you didn't spell measly correctly.

Charlie thinks the starting pitcher is named Brian Anderson

11 moons ago the Dodgers ripped Homlberg a new bunghole. Hope the sequel is better

Ellis trying not to explode his load

That's what happens when you and your brother cheat during the home run contest.

Did A.J. Ellis Hit a 3-Run HR?

Steve Sax said...

@Orel: two-run HR for Ellis: SVS had a solo shot earlier that inning. Ellis scored Utley

Steve Sax said...

Puig with a two-run shot! Dodgers extend their league-leading HR bonanza!

(Roenicke cries)

Steve Sax said...

And, Holmberg is pulled. He gives up three longballs and 6 ER

Steve Sax said...

...in 3 2/3 innings

Steve Sax said...

6-0 Dodgers, through 3.5

I love this Holberg kid. He's my kind of opposing pitcher!

Arson Squad in da house...

karen said...

oh lord....

karen said...

yep...here we go...

Steve Sax said...

Wow, we got out of it. Nicasio finagles a K, and Avilan follows with a K of his own. Reds strand two.

6-4 LA through eight.

karen said...

I'm shocked.

Steve Sax said...

Someone get Chase Utley a real baseball glove?! That's two he's missed

Steve Sax said...

7-4 LA with that insurance run from A-Gon. Two outs in B9, Skip Schumacher at first

karen said...

OMG!!!! How much do they expect us to take????????

Steve Sax said...

KJ walks Bourgeois. Tying run at the plate.

Steve Sax said...

K! 7-4 FINAL

Steve Sax said...
