Ross Stripling (0-0, -.--) vs, Matt Cain (0-0, -.--).
If you haven't been paying attention, Ross Stripling is this spring's Cinderella story. Stripling beat out the likes of Carlos Frias, Brandon Beachy and Zach Lee for the coveted fifth-starter spot — two years after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
After dominating the triple-A Padres, the Dodgers were cooled off by the pesky Giants yesterday (even year, remember). Stripling goes against SF stalwart Matt Cain, who may have been diminished by injuries lately, but hey, even year, remember.

Shit, was that Turner's trick knee that he slid into the fence with?
Off to another sporting event. You guys have to hold this one for me
Cliffy...that's exactly what I was thinking...
Stripling is pitching one hell of a game.
i told myself that a few innings ago Karen. who is this wind bag?
ESPN alert putting out the notice on this one too.
UJTD!!
Stripling is strapping one on tonight!
Hello, friends.
I have a surplus of hateHateHATE tonight.
Come on, assholes, let's tack on a couple more runs so I can relax a bit; my butthole's been puckered since the national anthem.
that was lowwwwwww. get him Dave!
@Karen, I've turned the volume down to near inaudible...I can't believe I've done so on a HOME broadcast. Though I'm not totally enamored with Nomar's commentary either.
i need a hug
Taking him out.
oh snap. interesting.
I do think it's the right move...but shit.
*pukes*
wow. interesting
Bring in Neeebs!!!
Cliffy...I'm totally with you.
interesting
i'll just say the bullpen blew balls yesterday and Stripling was pitching good. that's all i have to say. interesting
GODDAMMIT, this strike zone is getting awfully small for the Dodgers.
well that didn't take long
*pukes*
Boy, Spanky called that one.
interesting
interesting
This ump is fuckin shit.
interesting
I never, ever saw Muttingly run out of the dugout to protect his player.
Good job Doc.
Great idea brining back the same gas bags from last year.
siddown Bochy
they threw Roberts out an inning too late.
Do the giants have some kind of assembly line that pumps out Crawford/Pagan-looking clones? Who the fuck is this pitcher? Why is he not at his Poison cover band's gig?
Potential no hitter plus delino turning on broadcast = shalom no hitter.
I
Am
Sorry.
Cliffy...It's like the Brian Wilson / Sergio Romo bullpen look. Bunch of mother fuckers.
Does Dave Roberts have to come back to manage tomorrow?
Baez. This will end well.
Seriously, I have no idea how Pence puts up the numbers he does. Ditto Belt. Also, fuck baseball.
Pence kind of reminds of Johnny from Karate Kid.
here we go. a .238 hitter. this games a wrap.
Giants all live in the same trailer park camp right?
Xtras. Here we go...
Baez did his job. amazing
1-2-3? I'm shocked.
Paul...he he!
Jansen warming up...TO ENTER A TIED GAME. because a two run lead isn't worth saving.
Fuck. You. Ump.
Joe Blanton, ladies and gentlemen!
interesting
Someone's got some explaining to do
"An absolute crushing loss for the Dodgers"
If my son wasn't asleep next to me Id be breaking shit
Aaarrhgggjhhhh
Did we lose???? I was gone picking my kid up from work.
Fuuuck.
Fuck.
my logic is this: if your arm is going to go,your arm is going to go. what save. if you are that concerned about the health of your player why even fucking start him if he cant pitch the necessary innings. put him in as a long reliever and start a young fresh arm from the farm who can go the distance.
okay so now you're worried about the game. dude was pitching lights out. was never in any trouble. walks a man with one out. let him pitch to at least one more batter. he's earned it. if you were that concerned about the outcome of the game why let Stripling even start the 8th inning. if you were that concerned about the game why not bring in your closer TO CLOSE THE GAME.
and taking the dude out while he's pitching a no hitter is just sad. dude may blow out his arm next start and may never have that chance to throw a no hitter again.
thats all
I don't know. He looked done the inning before. He was lucky Belt got into the DP. That being said what is 100 vs 110? He probably will never be a HOF or even an All-Star. But he has tonight. Fuck any competitor wants to try and finish it. No one is taking this last bit of whiskey from me. Dave Roberts stop trying to save my liver!
The pitch count thing is clouding the issue. He walked two to lead off the seventh and another to lead off the eighth. He was donezo. Add in the rain and a fucking clueless ump that was going to make him work harder than he needed to, and it was time to go.
I just wanted them to call the game for rain and give him a 7-inning no-no.
I think we all called not-it on the PGT. Need time to roll around in the pain a bit.
GOD DAMMIT!
Good morning... I'm still pissed. Damn this is going to sting for a while
I am one surly bastard this morning. More than usual. Good thing we have an early game so I won't have to stew until tonight.
FB didn't need to wake up to this
