Series Thread (Games 54-57): May 27-30 vs. Mets

Mon 5.27 5p: Clayton Kershaw vs. deGrom
Tue 5.28 7p: Rich Hill vs. Matz
Wed 5.29 7p: Walker Buehler vs. Syndergaard
Thu 5.30 7p: hyun-Jin Ryu vs. Vargas

Happy Memorial Day! And why schedule a four-game series logically over the three-day weekend, when one can make the Dodgers travel all the way back from Pittsburgh (where they swept the Pirates), just to play an early evening Monday game at home? I suppose the only upside is that we're facing the .500 LolMets, starting with a very well-rested Clayton Kershaw. Let's do this.

Sax will be at the Stadium tonight and Tuesday, so drop a line if you'll be there. And dress for the cold front, it's chilly out there!

Game 2

Will Smith getting jiggy wit it behind the plate tonight!

QuadSevens said...

Well shit. Game tied 2-2 in the seventh when Conforto hits a grand slam. Down 6-2 now.

QuadSevens said...

Will Smith has a single, double, and gunned down a runner in his MLB debut. Two on nobody out in the bottom of the seventh with Joc up to bat.

QuadSevens said...

Beaty with a pinch hit RBI single. Down 6-3 after seven.

Steve Sax said...

Upside: seeing Will Smith's multi-hit MLB debut

Downside: watching our bullpen implode. Ye gods.

QuadSevens said...

You got that right Sax. 4 relievers in one inning is never good.

Have no fear delino is here. Though apparently we are not showing Newman and the Seinfeld
Family much love.

Muncy solo HR
Turner 2B
Bellinger RBI 2B -- tie game
Seager IBB
Beaty infield single (!)
