Series Thread (Games 2-4): Mar 29-31 vs. D'backs

From before Thursday's game. Maybe the HR balls were taking the evacuation plans to heart.

Friday 7p: Ross Stripling vs. Robbie Ray
Saturday 6p: Kenta Maeda vs. Zack Godley
Sunday 1p: Walker Buehler vs. Luke Weaver

It's going to be hard to top yesterday's Opening Day extravaganza. But since they've painted "Opening Week" on the field, we may as well keep up the festivities.

Sax is going to be out of town this weekend, so I'll need you guys to keep the comments going while I'm gone.

Come on, Corey! They’re pitching you like Kemp

Steve Sax said...

Way to go, Joe Kelly. Tie game.

Kelly gives up a three-run PH HR.

Turner looks to be thrown out at second, but it’s going for review.

Yep

Wow, MLB at bat finally figured out how to supplant its own commercials on the mlb.tv app. Nice job

QuadSevens said...

Joe Kelly has looked terrible so far.

Steve Sax said...

Is Joe Kelly still playing for the opponent?

Dodgers escape. 4-4, mid 8

Steve Sax said...

Ok kids, it’s 1:30a where I am and I’ve got an early call gotta go. Win this one for us, Quad!

QuadSevens said...

Night Sax. I’ll do my best.

QuadSevens said...

Turner with a squibber past Bradley for his first hit of the year.

QuadSevens said...

But Freese strands two to end the inning. 4-4 going to the ninth.

QuadSevens said...

Kenley coming in with the game tied. Bold move.

QuadSevens said...

Kenley works a good inning. Pollack up first in the bottom of the ninth.

QuadSevens said...

Pollack and Seager on!

QuadSevens said...

Joc hit a bullet but it’s caught. One down Bellinger up.

QuadSevens said...

GIDP to end the ninth. That sucked. Extra innings.

QuadSevens said...

Caleb Ferguson looked good in the tenth. Martin up first for us.

QuadSevens said...

Kiké with a two out single to bring up Turner.

QuadSevens said...

Turner HBP. He’s ok. Two on for Barnes now.

QuadSevens said...

Pitch hits the ump square in the mask. Runners on second and third now.

QuadSevens said...

Barnes walks. Bases loaded for Pollack.

QuadSevens said...

The DBacks pitcher has two wild pitches and a hit batter. Lots of ways to win.

QuadSevens said...

Blind stab on a grounder up the middle by the pitcher to get Pollack out. That sucked. Going to the 11th. And bed for me.

spank said...

spank said...

5-4 Dbags. you're welcome

spank said...

QuadSevens said...

Game 3: Dodgers win 18-5! Russell Martin closed it out.

QuadSevens said...

We hit a few bombs again today. Joc, two for Bellinger, and Barnes.

Steve Sax said...

We are up 4-1 in the Sunday game, but Buehler is looking shaky here in the fourth inning.

Steve Sax said...

Settle down, Walker

Steve Sax said...

Buehler is shitting the bed here. No outs, three runs in. LA up 4-3

Steve Sax said...

And, we are losing now. 5-4. Baez in.

Steve Sax said...

Ok 7-5 AZ through four.

I’m going to be out of contact for the next five hours. Let’s win this one.

QuadSevens said...

Dodgers score 3 in the eighth to take the lead! 8-7!

QuadSevens said...

Bellinger with an infield single and Pollack with a 2 run double. Muncy with a sac fly to take the lead.

QuadSevens said...

Kenley has the first two out in the ninth.

QuadSevens said...

1-2-3 inning for KJ! Dodgers win!

Steve Sax said...

All right, we won!

Okay so that makes three out of four against the Diamondbacks, including two whuppings and a comeback victory. Nice.

QuadSevens said...

On Saturday they were down 1-0 after the top of the first before winning 18-5. Does that count as a come from behind victory?
