Game 76 77 Thread: June 25 26 @ Pirates, 4:15 5p

This is what we want to kick today.

Kenta Maeda (6-4, 2.64) Clayton Kershaw (11-1, 1.57) vs. Jeff Locke (6-5, 5.44) Chad Kuhl (0-0, -.--).

The Dodgers are 4-2 in their series so far this month, but they'll need to take three two in a row from the Pirates to make it 5-2 4-2-1, due to yesterday's the previous two days' slugfest of a losses. Thanks to the team's day off this last Thursday, Maeda will be pitching on six days' rest, so let's hope he goes deep and the bats go deep too. Go Kershaw! Arrrrrr

hey this GT looks awfully familiar

Steve Sax said...

would be nice to see the team actually pick up Kershaw, for a change.

Kershaw gives up four in the second, but the team scores 2 in the top of the third, which is still going on. Pederson on first with two out.

Steve Sax said...

Kuhl's pitch count is out of control, btw. Gotta get to him now, Puig

Steve Sax said...

And, Puig fans like an idiot.

4-2 PIT through 2.5

Steve Sax said...

Kuhl is getting some very favorable strike zone calls here. That Grandal strikeout to start the fourth was ridiculous.

Steve Sax said...

PEDERSON with a bullet to get Rodriguez at the plate!

Steve Sax said...

still 4-2

Steve Sax said...

Turner scores Seager, but gets nabbed at the plate trying to score on a WP.

This Kuhl kid is a little too fired up for my tastes.

Steve Sax said...

4-3 Pit, B5

Steve Sax said...

everyone is yipping at this ump (i.e., both teams)

Steve Sax said...

2Ks and a 5-3 groundout for Kershaw in the 5th.

Let's get this back, guys

Steve Sax said...

Puig first pitch swinging, 503. Really getting tired of Puig's lack of discipline here.

Steve Sax said...

this home plate ump is horrible. both ways.

Steve Sax said...

Nice, Dusty. What, you spending all your time on What's App?

Steve Sax said...

Kershaw Ks PH Polanco to end the inning, with two on.

4-3 PIT through 6

Steve Sax said...

Why are we PH Gonzalez after we just told him he'd have a two-day rest? Makes no sense, Dave

Gonzalez ground outs to short.

Steve Sax said...

that was an incredibly feeble seventh inning there, guys.

Orel said...

We suck. This team is much more than Jay Bruce away from not sucking — we need two starting pitchers, real outfielders and a new right side of the infield. Not gonna happen.

Orel said...

^two real outfielders

Orel said...

Puig first-pitch swinging at everything is pathetic

Orel said...

^and a catcher who can hit

Orel said...

^and more relievers

Steve Sax said...

That ump was horrible, but we suck.

Orel said...

8 GB

Orel said...

That ump sucked, but we're horrible.

Fred's Brim said...

What a bunch of assholes

Dusty Baker said...

The ump is like, "I really sucked at my job tonight, but I don't suck as bad as the Dodgers do."

spank said...

well that's a shame

Steve Sax said...

the ump can't teach us how to suck any worse
