Series Thread (Games 34-36): May 3-5 @ Padres

No jokes for the Padres' third weekend starter.

Fri 7p: Clayton Kershaw vs. Lauer
Sat 5.30p: Rich Hill vs. Lucchesi
Sun 1p: Kenta Maeda vs. Margevicius

After dropping two of three in Birdshit Park, the Dodgers go to warmer climes to face the Padres, surprisingly +4 games over .500 and only 1.5 games behind the Dodgers, in third place. Manny Machado has been busy pulling hijinks, and Fernando Tatis Jr. is on the IL. But San Diego is still 7-3 over their last ten (along with the Snakes, who have moved up to second place in the division).

So let's roll, Dodgers! Are you ready to let go?

I'm kind of disturbed by this video, though.

Google image search for “Marge Simpson mad” has some funny faces!

Dodgers down 3-1 in the fifth. Kiké with a single and Bellinger with a double! Ducks on the pond!

QuadSevens said...

Correction, in the sixth.

QuadSevens said...

There’s a lot of Dodger blue in the San Diego seats.

QuadSevens said...

Turner walks on 11 pitches. Rancho ardiendo for Seager!

QuadSevens said...

Sac fly for Seager. Down 3-2 in the sixth now.

QuadSevens said...

CT3 and Verdugo can’t get anyone else in. Crap.

QuadSevens said...

AUSTIN FREAKING BARNES!!! TIE GAME!!!

QuadSevens said...

Muncy gets rung up on a low strike call, argues correctly, and almost got tossed.

Steve Sax said...

Ok I’m finally back from dinner. 3-3 through eight.

Thanks for holding down the fort, Quad. I got me some MPQ to play as well

Steve Sax said...

One GT after I called him out, Barnes is having a game!

Leadoff double for Barnes in top 9

Steve Sax said...

Muncy RBI single with one out! Off Hosner’s glove

QuadSevens said...

No problem Sax. I’ve got some MPQ to catch up on too.

QuadSevens said...

Kenley in to close it out.

QuadSevens said...

Seager boots a broken bat grounder. Need a GIDP here.

QuadSevens said...

2 strikeouts for Kenley. One more to go!

QuadSevens said...

Another strikeout! Win!

Steve Sax said...

KJ with the save!

Steve Sax said...

Bellinger separated his shoulder Friday, he won’t play today.

Steve Sax said...

Quad: vicious Marge is pretty good. Nice!

Steve Sax said...

Hey, we won! 7-6 comeback victory, overcoming two Machado HRs

QuadSevens said...

GAME 3

Another game, another come back. After being down 4-0, Dodgers now lead 5-4! 3 run bomb for Muncy and the go ahead 2 run bomb by CT3!

QuadSevens said...

Kenley in to close it out in the ninth. Still 5-4.

QuadSevens said...

Third day in a row for Kenley. Sharp single and a bunt hit. I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

QuadSevens said...

Another bunt hit! WTF guys!!

Steve Sax said...

Kenley is screwing the pooch here

QuadSevens said...

Big strikeout there for Kenley! One down!

QuadSevens said...

Infield fly rule for our number 2!

QuadSevens said...

Out*

QuadSevens said...

Well shit. Walkoff grand slam.

Steve Sax said...

Well, we deserved that loss. Horrible ninth inning.

Steve Sax said...

KJ is not the same.

QuadSevens said...

Bunt defense let us down. If we get an out on either of those, we win. I know what they’ll be working on this week.
