Game 68 Thread: June 16 vs. Brewers, 7p

Scott Kazmir (5-3, 4.52) vs. Junior Guerra (3-1, 3.31).

Here's the good news: the second-place Dodgers have won two in a row and stand a chance to win a third consecutive game for the first time since sweeping the Braves eons ago. The sub-.500 Brewers should be good fodder for a four-game series; this year, we've tended to play well against the sucky teams (Braves, Reds, Padres, Diamondbacks).

But here's the bad news: we're now six games back of the Giants, because the Brewers were swept up in San Francisco, causing us to lose ground as we played the Diamondbacks. Junior Guerra is no slouch, either; his 1.18 WHIP leads Brewers starters. So let's hope tonight we don't see Junior make mince meat out of our subpar bats (the Dodgers rank 14th in the NL for batting average).

Strong word play in the GT. Loving it.

Vinny with a nice tribute to the victims of Orlando.

Will Venable playing in right today. Vinny had a story about his glove. It's actually Dave Roberts's old glove. It's been lucky for him.

Lucroy nearly hits a three run bomb but it goes foul.

QuadSevens said...

Kaz looks shaky.

QuadSevens said...

Took 27 pitches but Kaz gets out of the first without giving up a run.

QuadSevens said...

Three up and three down in th bottom half of the first.

QuadSevens said...

HK47 gets a single and stolen base but we leave him out there. 0-1 with RISP.

Baaaaaaaad kazmir again

QuadSevens said...

Yup. He'll be lucky to make it 5 innings.

QuadSevens said...

Seager with a line drive single. Two on two out now for Trayce.

QuadSevens said...

Trayce!! 3 run bomb to tie!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Thompson for three! No, not that Thompson, the other one!

QuadSevens said...

Going to the 4th now. Kaz needs to pull himself together now.

QuadSevens said...

Nice Cliff!

Cliff Beefpile said...

Poop.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Fien is anything but fine. Though it's hard to blame him when the pre-game show was blathering on about how the bullpen had turned it around. Way to jinx it, assholes!

Cliff Beefpile said...

I'd say it would be funny to see the Warriors lose the Finals after winning 73 games, but the fact they're playing a Cleveland team makes that outcome impossible.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Dammit. Try hittin' it where they ain't, Dodgers. Come on.

Cliff Beefpile said...

Shit, I missed the comeback. Tie ball game once again!

Cliff Beefpile said...

GODFUCKINGDAMMIT, BAEZ!

QuadSevens said...

Bottom 9th two out and bases loaded for Seager.

QuadSevens said...

And he strikes out to end it. Figures.

Steve Sax said...

Pedro Baez is the opposite of clutch. Or maybe he's clutch for the other team.
