Game 23 Thread: Apr. 28 vs. Marlins, 7p

Kenta Maeda (3-0, 0.36) vs. Jose Fernandez (1-2, 4.37).

"Ha ha, Dodgerfuckers! It is I, Don E. Mattingly, freed from the clutches of the nerd cartel of Kasten, Friedman, Zaidi, LLC! And I've got current Gold Glover, Silver Slugger and NL batting champion — and FORMER Dodger — Dee Gordon, and Giancarlo "Don't Call Me Mike" Stanton, and tonight's starter Jose Fernandez on my team!

"And now my plans for revenge are almost realized, with my beloved Marlins taking at least three of four from the suddenly slumping (there's a shock!) Blue Crew. Eat my mustache dust, Dodger Stadium! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

I don't know, I kinda like the guy.

First inning, one-out double for the Marlins is stranded.

Utley leads off with a single.

Steve Sax said...

Seager walks. Two on, none out.

Steve Sax said...

A-Gon strikes out. One out

Steve Sax said...

Grandal!!!

Grandal doubles to center, scoring Utley. Seager to third.

1-0 LA

Steve Sax said...

whoops, Maeda gives up a solo HR. 2-1 LA, still in the second

I'm just gonna say this...I am totally digging Chutley. I know dude is old, old, old but he is so hard nose, smash mouth, in your face old school! He is all about the hustle. I'm thinking he's earned some new tennis balls for his walker.

spank said...

so far so good for Maeda

spank said...

Seager singles Chutley to 2nd. 2 on. i like this Seager guy

spank said...

weak sauce. runners left on second on third

good thing i wasnt looking at the tv screen. i would have thrown the remote at the tv when Dre popped up.

karen said...

tummy starting to feel squishy...

karen said...

Shoulda yanked Kenta at 94 pitches.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Fuck Mattingly...and Joe Torre for sticking us with him.

spank said...

i hate pitch counts. just take pitchers out when they are tired. also i doubt it would have helped taking Maeda out when you replace him with Baez. Baez is a hack. game over

Cliff Beefpile said...

Goddammit Baez.

spank said...

little fly ball out after giving up two runs. FUCK YOU BAEZ!

karen said...

I don't want to scare anyone here but a couple of weeks ago there was talk among the brass about Baez being the closer of the future.

The horra!!

karen said...

I don't recall Mutt being this quick with the hook when he was our manager.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Muttley takes on for the team, he even leaned into it a bit. I'll take it. Bring 'em home, Corey!

Cliff Beefpile said...

@Karen, I wouldn't be able to take it. He makes Broxton look like a pillar of consistency.

karen said...

Well that sucked

karen said...

@Cliffy...I believe in God and I gotta think no way in hell he would let them do that to us!!!

Cliff Beefpile said...

And just like that, Buttley says, "I don't deserve the tennis balls, Karen!"

karen said...

It's like watching old film of the Hindenburg...

spank said...

Toast as in Baez's arm

spank said...

fuck this game

Orel said...

Swept in four games by the Marlins. Gonna be 2016 in a nutshell.

karen said...

I can't believe these mofos swept four.

spank said...

the Dodgers are losers on the field. I'm a loser in life. we're a match made in heaven

Orel said...

Shocking news up top!
