Game 3 Thread: 3/31 vs Giants, 6p (Bullshit NL Ring Ceremony)

Kenta Maeda vs Derek Holland.

Welp, yesterday yesterday and the day before happened. For many of us, the immediate thought was that Game 1 of 2018 was a mere extension of Game 7 of the 2017 World Series. Hitters swinging at bad pitches and watching good pitches, everyone swinging wildly for the fences, stranded RISP out the ass...not he way we wanted or needed to start the new season by any measure.

We'll have another chance to get back to winning ways, though. Tonight is Opening Night a bullshit NL Championship Ring Ceremony, and we don't have to face a no-name pitcher who turns into Cy Young -- a setup that always seems to vex Dodger hitters.

In many ways, we can just consider this a do-over for Opening Day Games 1 & 2. Hell, maybe Chris Taylor will get another chance to cream a hanging slider pitched right down the middle.

Thanks to Dusty for the OG post.

Maeda strikes out the side in the 1st but needs 18 pitches to do it

Taylor leads off with a walk. Which base will he be stranded on?

None, Orel :) Dos a null, Doyers

In one of the few Dodgers bars in San Francisco, all jints fans filed out after Kenta's 10th K. Not the opening series we expected but life is good when Giants fans are bummed out because of Los Doyers

Win plus...jints fans are gnashing their teeth, including an extreme beauty who grew up an Angels fan from Redondo? Good guys win and redemption comes tomorrow. Adiós, ¡voy a ir al cerdo volador!
