Game 18 Thread: Apr. 23 @ Rockies, 5p

Kenta Maeda (2-0, 0.47) vs. Tyler Chatroom lol (2-1, 2.79).

King Kenta, meet Coors Field. Maeda may be having one of the best rookie pitcher starts in Dodger history, but he has yet to experience the park that holds the outfield wall that turned Matt Kemp into a shell of his former self. (Oh yeah, it's pretty tough on pitchers too.)

Two of Maeda's starts came in pitcher-friendly Petco Park and AT&T Park, while one came in the second most pitcher-unfriendly park in the majors (Chase Field). So there's hope, but the King should tread lightly — just ask Scott Kazmir.

3-0 on Ajellis homer!

Ellis HR (1), and the first one shown clapping from the dodger dugout is Puig. Wow.

If Puig finally has his head in the game, we will be unstoppable.

3-0 LA

Gah! A Rockie hit. Still, Maeda impresses me more and more with every start.

karen said...

Now 2 hits. Settle down Kenta.

Cory and Chutley looked like a couple of bowling pins but saved the run.

Cliff Beefpile said...

You made-a me cry by pulling Kenta, Roberts!

karen said...

Blanton coming in. Shutout in serious peril...

Cliff Beefpile said...

There needs to be some kind of warning on people's game tickets: "You are in serious danger of getting whiplash from watching the ball leap off the opponents' bats any time Joe Blanton is on the mound."

Dammit, I'll be glad when Seager breaks out of this slump.

"Andre Ethier was being penciled in at the lead-off spot before he got hurt."

Thanks for the nightmares, Nomar!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Kenley's on a mission this season! Suck it, Aroldis Chapman!

karen said...

Kenley Time = Win Time = Pardy Time!!

Karen, I'll definitely light a prayer candle for the team ERA.
