Game 60 Thread: June 7 vs. Rockies, 7p

Julio Urias (0-1, 9.39) vs. Eddie Butler (2-3, 5.65).

Yes, I've made this reference before. But this game, Urias' third appearance in the major leagues, has all the seeds of being Urias' first winnable start. It's Urias' first home start. We're facing the Rockies, five games below .500. Eddie Butler has indeed moved ponderously, with a 6-14 / 5.93 career line over the course of three seasons with Colorado (including last year's 3-10 / 5.90 effort). And Justin Turner is 8-for-11 lifetime against Butler.

So all you have to do is disregard the fact we were one-hit last night with what could be the same lineup of bats, and hey, this one is a done deal. No Butler doing it tonight; just like in hoops this year, right? And also, disregard Butler's first-round game vs. Texas Tech.

karen said...

I wasn't in da house last night so just be patient with me here....I am sooo grateful to have had one last D Day with Vinny. He is so eloquent and passionate in honoring what so importantly came before us and it truly tugs at my Patriotic heartstrings. He brings back favorite memories of watching History Channel with my dad and all the docs about WWII. I know I'll probably say this many more times before this season is over but Thank You Mr. Scully. You have been a constant companion in the tapestry of my life since I was 10 years old. I will so miss you.

And now back to this one...

spank said...

we need AC to come to from his booze coma and post a side GT.

^^^Huh?? I don't get it...

spank said...

Hi Chew the candy. banana flavor is weird.

karen said...

Spank, you are constantly enlightening me!

Steve Sax said...

3-0 LA through 2. JTurner HR helped in the first, but Urias didn't do us favors with a bunt GIDP in the second.

karen said...

KKKK

Orel said...

60 pitches through 2 2/3 innings

karen said...

Matty woulda had that....

Just sayin"

Steve Sax said...

DJ LeMahieu singles and steals second. Urias Ks Ryan Rayburn for out #2, but Nolan Arenado doubles in LeMahieu for the Rox' first run in the third. 3-1 LA, CarGo at the plate

karen said...

KKKKK (Cargo twice)

Steve Sax said...

Wow! It took five pitches (all strikes), but Urias gets CarGo swinging to end the inning. 69 pitches through 3 frames.

3-1 LA.

Steve Sax said...

Can Urias last two more innings? Not likely

spank said...

Urias gives up a run. i wont blame him as i fucked up the home mojo superstition. should have left my stream on full screen.

Steve Sax said...

Leadoff single for Corey in the third.

Boston up 2-1 on SF

karen said...

UJTD

3-1 Blue

Steve Sax said...

wow that was quick. Turner force out, A-Gon GIDP.

3-1 LA through 3

Steve Sax said...

SF threatening, bases loaded none out B4

karen said...

I hate you frisco

karen said...

KKKKKKK...running very low on petrol though...

Steve Sax said...

all tied up in SF

Man, boston sucks

Steve Sax said...

SF takes the lead but has two out. 3-2 SF, still b4

Orel said...

KKKKKKK

Orel said...

DAMMIT

Steve Sax said...

Urias gets two Ks and a ground out. 86 pitches through four. LEAVE HIM IN

3-1 LA, mid-4

spank said...

good outing by Urias. take him out

Steve Sax said...

decent action on today's GT. I credit the HBS case.

karen said...

Orel hehehe...

spank said...

maybe we should have kept Urias in.

spank said...

bases loaded for Rox. not looking good

karen said...

The Arson Squad shows up right on schedule.

spank said...

Lipitor in. i need some Lipitor to keep watching this inning.

spank said...

rally thong's in a twist right now.

spank said...

Cargo strikes out again. we's out of the inning.

Steve Sax said...

Urias only lasts four, so he's ineligible for the win. Still, it's his best start so far....

Steve Sax said...

Boston threatening, men at the corners with one out

Steve Sax said...

Blanton escapes the sixth. 3-1, mid-6

Steve Sax said...

Blanton: 1.0 IP, 2 Ks

Steve Sax said...

Boston ties it in the top of the seventh. 3-3, two out and a man on second

karen said...

Blanton.

3-2.

karen said...

Baez up in cooler.

This isn't going to be pretty.

Steve Sax said...

Blanton keeps in there, and gives up a HR to Daniel Descalso. 3-2, still none out in the top of the seventh

karen said...

Night Moves makes the killer catch and then a killer throw.

Tying run on 3rd with Cargo coming up and Joan coming in.

spank said...

looks like i picked the wrong time to come back to the game.

Steve Sax said...

Baez comes in and promptly gives up the lead (to be fair, he inherited Blanton's runner, which Seager's error allowed to advance to third). Tie game.

Steve Sax said...

Find the goddamn strikezone, baez

Steve Sax said...

3-0 count to Story, and Baez works back a strikeout. Still too little too late

karen said...

Spanky...and the wrong week to give up sniffing glue.

And don't call me Shirley

spank said...

Baez and Blanton can both get fucked in the ear.

karen said...

Opponents batting .300 against Motte. He'll be in the Dodger bullpen before the year is out.

spank said...

bring in Crawford to pinch hit!! oh wait...

karen said...

Still 3-3 in frisco going to 9.

spank said...
