Dodgers strike first. 1-0 after 1
Utley triple and/or double + error makes it 3-0 in the 2nd!
Seager RBI single makes it 4-0!
DeLeon gives up a homerun. 4-1
Huge solo HR by some Yankee I can't identify. 4-1
Wait, Starlin Castro is on the Yankees now?
next batter walks. Ruh-oh
Hedley
Grandal single, Red Dick double, Howie RBI bunt single makes it 5-1
Joc's had some shitty ABs today
Bad throw to second scores Reddick. 6-1
Joc's D still works, though
We are up 6-1 through 3?! Wow that's surprising
Wow, check out the MLB.com videos: the huge Dodger crowd contingent at Yankee Stadium actually did a roll call for the Dodgers (like the Yankees do). The announcers were dumbfounded. Cool!
6-1 LA, mid-five
When JDL allows a HR, he ALLOWS A HR. 6-2
Dodgers fans do a roll call
6-2 on the Judge leadoff HR in the bottom of the fifth
sanchez Ks to end the inning, 6-2 through 5.
heading to the other side, boys
Stay safe, Sax!
oh boy, it's baez
okay, NOW i'm going to the other side
Stay safe, Sax!
we haven't scored in four innings guys, what gives
Okay, now I'm REALLY leaving the office
Stay safe, Sax!
I'm home!
Dodgers win!
Giants lose!
Sax is safe with Racer 5 beer in hand!
Enjoyable time at the park last night, Pantone 294 in full effect. It was like a european soccer match
FB you were in the park? Explain this whole roll call thing. i don't get it.
Are they going to be back for today's game too? It was pretty cool seeing all the coverage they got on tv.
I was wondering the same thing DBT. This sounds like a pretty cool tradition.

Thanks for the link Quad! That's a great tradition and proud of those Dodgers fans who took it upon themselves to roll call the Blue Crew. That took some balls!
I listed to the Yanks broadcast on AtBat and the Stadium mic is really loud in the mix. The energy of the dodger fans really comes through.
Thanks Q7! It was definitely cool to see that at Yankee Stadium. The Dodger fans seemed extra loud because there weren't many total fans there
And it definitely helps to be rolling 1,300 deep. You can be be brave in any stadium with those numbers!
FB, did all the Dodger players respond to their names being called? Looks like Night Moves did in the clip linked above but I imagine some players might not know the tradition?
Got it. From a NYT article:
Around the field they went: Andrew Toles, Joc Pederson and Josh Reddick across the outfield and Justin Turner, Corey Seager, Chase Utley and Adrian Gonzalez around the diamond. All but Utley, ever the spoilsport, appeared to recognize them.
The spoilsport also spoiled that shift in the first inning and had a solid overall game.
The Silver Spoilsport!
GAME 2
Kendrick, 3B
Turner, DH
Seager, SS
Puig, LF
Gonzalez, 1B
Ruiz, C
Hernandez, CF
Segedin, RF
Utley, 2B
Urias, J (5-2, 3.69 ERA)
No problem on the link guys. That NY Times was pretty cool. I like how Gardner acknowledged that the Pantone 294 group was pretty rowdy and created a good atmosphere.
Just heard Vin won't call play off games this year, last game he calls is October 2nd. I need a minute now...
sounds like Puig hurt himself on a swing in the first inning? ugh
Urias done for 2016?
Why is Puig still in this game?
I know how this games ends. I think I've been to this game before, a disappointing de ja vu
shit
Jacoby & Didi go back-to-back. 2-0 Yanks
Still nobody up in the bullpen. Doc going down with the ship I guess
On the bright side, Clippard is in.
On the downside, Reddick is up
Two innings left. Let's see what this team is made of
Sheezus
3-0
Sure hope Clayton's not still rusty tomorrow
Do we lose 3-1 or 3-2?
3-0 it is!
Giants blow a 3-run lead in the 9th! Division lead stays at 4, magic number is 15
Wow. SF had two out in the ninth and a 1-2 coins and gave up a three-run HR
Giants fans booed
Giants gave up five runs in the ninth, turning a 4-1 lead into a 6-4 loss
AS I mentioned on Twitter, I 100% thought the 4-1 score in the SD/SF game was a final. (I was off Twitter for a good while after the Dodgers lost.) Then a little bit later, Eric Stephen tweeted out that the magic number was now 15, and I thought, "What, did Eric fuck up?" Then I got caught up and was pleasantly surprised.
As miserable as the Padres are, they are always REALLY GOOD at being a thorn in the Giants' side.
GAME 3
Utley 2B
Seager SS
Turner 3B
Gonzalez 1B
Grandal C
Reddick RF
Ethier DH
Pederson CF
Toles LF
(Kershaw P)
The Dodgers entered yesterday's game last in baseball in batting average (.215) and OPS (.633) against lefties.
It's time to admit that the Dodgers' righty/lefty strategy sucks and they should stack an all lefty lineup the next time they face a southpaw. You gotta try something, right?!?!
FB heading uptown for game 3, let's win one today
Poor Spank, that has to be your version of hell.
Good call DBT, anything has to be better
Stay safe, FB!
0-0 through 2.
1-1 in SF, B4
RANCHO ARDIENDO
A-Gon works an 0-2 count into a eight-pitch walk, with one out. And then Yaz doubles (but A-Gon doesn't score, sadly).
One out, second and third, top 4
reddick rancho ardiendos due to catcher interference?!?!?
Okay, I'll take it. Here's Andre
Ethier, you fucking idiot. GIDP.
and Ethier GIDP. Wah wah wah
yay Ethier! you piece of crap.
And, there's a rain delay. I blame Ethier
Should we break Ethier's other leg?
Padres take a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth. Man on second with two out
If there's a rain delay, Roberts will probably pull Kershaw (no-hitter through three)
And put in Rich Hill
Let's break Ethier's face.
when is pederson going to start hitting again
Padres have a man on third with one out, T7, up 2-1
And we're in another rain delay in NY.
Pads have men at the corners with two out
Padres score again. 3-1 SD, first and second with two out
still in delay, so we're flipping back to the SD@SF game. B7, Pence just singled and stole second with one out.
2Ks got the Padres out of the inning. 3-1, T8
SD threatens but nothing to show for it, 3-1 mid-8
four straight Ks for the Giants, who have struck out twice to start off the bottom of the eighth
Denard Span gets a two-out walk, then is picked off first base to end the inning.
3-1 SD through 8
are we back on in NY? Looks like Kershaw is out to pitch the bottom of the fifth?
gives up two straight hits
Oh no. First and second, none out for Clayton, B5
Orel: actually the first one (Castro) was an error
Kershaw gets Refsnyder for the second out. Fifth K for KKKKKershaw
come on, Clayton
Giants lose. Dodgers take a 4.5 game lead
Dammit, A-gon GIDPs. 0-0 through 5.5
Dayton strikes out the side in the sixth
this game feels a lot like last night's game. i reckon we will lose late
Roberts makes the right move, pulling Baez with two on and two out, and going to Avilan, who Ks Brian McCann to end the inning. 0-0 through 7
Wonder if FB is still at the game
i am losing patience with Joc Pederson. 0-for-3 with 2 Ks
wow the dodgers are dying in short order. three hits through eight innings, 0-0 Mid8
Ellsbury Ks to end the 8th.
0-0 through 8. Dodgers have three hits; Yankees two.
NOBODY WANTS THIS GAME
seager with a leadoff reach-on-castro-error
seager steale second! JT up with none out
JT scores a run?
JT scores a run!
who is injured? Oh no, Turner is hurt at second.
1-0 LA
Dammit, Andre, it's called DESIGNATED HITTER, not DESIGNATED OUT-GENERATOR
2=0 LA through 8.5. Dodgers get a second run when Yaz grounds into a fielder's choice and Yankees P Betances makes a throwing error.
Ethier is a great DOG
WIN
DODGERS WIN!
magic number = 13
Fun and nervous times at the stadium last night
I still can't understand how they brought Clayton back for the 5th, unless he threatened to go get back surgery if Doc didn't let him go back out.
Dre's only non-zero numbers are At-Bats, Ks and GIDPs
