Mookie Betts, about to open up the can of Dodgers whup-ass.
Kershaw vs. TBD
The Padres opened up Game 1 last night well, despite the early exit of Mike Clevinger, holding the Dodgers hitless through the first five frames. But with one out in the sixth during a 1-1 tie, Mookie Betts hit a double, and then the floodgates were open. By the end of the frame, the Dodgers were up 5-1 and didn't look back, thanks to a rock-solid bullpen performance across Dustin May, Victor González, Blake Treinen, and Kenley Jansen.
Also, nice to see Max Muncy get a double and Cody Bellinger get a RBI single in Game 1.
So now we turn right around and play another "home" game in Globle Life Field. Tonight, my wish is to start our hitting before the sixth inning.

A's with a 9-7 lead in the bottom of the 8th and SHADOWS!!
Reddick strikes out with two men on to end the inning and slams his bat on the ground in frustration. Poor baby!
A's win!
Clayton looking very Kershaw-esque to start.
Rays lead the Yanks 7-2 in the 6th
Dodgers waste Mookie's leadoff single
Aaaaaaand we're losing
Kershaw limits the damage to one run
Brutal strike zone tonight
Hey guys. Wait, we're already down 1-0?
1-2-3 3rd for Kershaw
Okay JUST switched my shirt. It's ON
Boomtown Brewery Mic Czech popped open
AND, A.J. Pollock gets a hit!
AJ leads off the 3rd with a single
Shirt switch already paying off
That's Pollock's first hit of the series
Barnes singles to left! Reached for that one but a nice, don't-do-too-much swing. Pollock to third
Barnes singles AJ to third!
Dammit, great play by Machado to grab that one off of Mookie's bat.
Good catch by Machado.
Bastard.
Dammit Mookie smoked that but Machado makes a great stab
COREY BABY!!!
Commentators say Davies will get out of it...but Seager ropes a double and two score!
Dodgers lead 2-1
That was roped. Love it
Barnes was motoring the whole way, to score from first. Way to go, Austin!
Muncy RBI scores Seager!
Is it possible our bats are coming to life??
Great hit by Muncy. After asking him yesterday if it was about to start coming--that was a nice shot to right-center.
3-1 LA
that was nice
It's nice to see the boys be productive without swinging for the fences every AB
Pham singles again but Kershaw Ks Myers this time around
Kershaw escapes the 4th
CODY!!!!!!
Sweet
Body finally caught up with one!
Barens is on frickin' fire here. Wow
Barnes = unstoppable
^Cody
^Barnes
Mookie getting squeezed here
Deuces are wild
Barnes out by a mile there.
Maybe barnes should not reach out for Machado's glove when he is sliding
well.......
Dammit Barnes
Wow, uncle charlie for Clayton's sixth K on Grisham
@Orel 7:29, what's the dammit part?
I'm a little behind tonight
Seager leadoff double, but Turner grounds to short for out #1.
Seager leadoff double wasted. 4-1 LA through 5.
Yanks lose!
Nice job on the shirt change Sax. I’ve had my Kershaw shirt on all day today.
Machado golf-swing HR. 4-2 LA.
"Manny's due," I thought. I was right
Kershaw with his patented solo HR given up
Well crap
Oh no.
this is not good. Hosmer HR.
fucking Kershaw
Certainly Barnes getting thrown out at third won't come back to bite us in the ass
OK. Clayton gives up two but settles. 4-3 LA, going to B6
Pick him up, Dodgers!
Emilio Pagán on for the Padres in the sixth. Here's Cody to lead off.
Commentators are saying how we haven't seen these relievers yet so we'll be on our heels.
Here's Joc. This would be a pleasant surprise.
Nope, no surprise.
Moving to an 805 firestone ale. I need to properly chill.
Treinen gets out 1 in the seventh.
Nola flies out to Taylor for out #2
Had a Sam Adams ‘76 with my pizza. Let’s go Treinen.
...I mean, let’s go Bazooka!
Here's the game: Brusdar vs Tatís
Treinen hits Grisham and is pulled.
i like your booze and food style,Quad.
CODY!!!!!
Holy $#!t that was amazing!
Holy shit what a catch by Oody
WOW!!!
Let's go to DisneyWorld!!!
Let's go to Jiffy Lube!!!
that was rad. almost had a heartattack though
Let's blow this damn game open
Four-pitch leadoff walk to Barnes
Cody was smiling before his feet came back down to the ground!
Cody looking serene while in the eye of the storm.
Ooh, tempers flaring here. Graterol pissed, Machado chippy, Muncy snapping, and Mookie getting into it as well. Let's GO
Machado yelling at Bazooka after the awesome catch and Muncy yelling right back. Things could get interesting soon.
Betts forces Barnes.
No way Mookie was going to GIDP there
Cody is in nirvana
I love that Bazooka blew a kiss at Machado.
Seager single. Pomeranz enters. One out, first and second.
@Spank Cheers brother!
im loving the unfolding drama. hopefully a Padre gets beaned
Wow, double steal. Nice.
Mookie is so good
1-1 to Turner.
@SPank 8.29p, I don't want us to get beaned though
Wow my streaming feed is ahead of my MLB GameDay.
JT with a sac fly to center. 5-3 LA
Okay Max, let's go
There's that Geico
Mncy bloops one to shallow left! 6-3 LA! Seager scores from second
Seriously, if Max starts hitting and Cody starts hitting...
Muncy with the RBI bloop!
Smith up with two out and Muncy on first.
This is totally weird, GameDay is showing a 3-0 count but it's 1-1 now
I'm so confused
Oh, this Machado leadoff AB is gonna be huge.
We're winning that's all I know
6-3 LA through 7
They've gotta move that Doosan trailer off the field
Machado tries to hit it right at Graterol, but he's fielded out at second. Graterol is definitely yipping at Machado as he crosses the diamond back to the dugout.
Hosmer pops to third.
Even Manny couldn't help smiling as Brusdar was chirping at him as he ran off the field
Graterol's countenance is like a bull about to charge.
Machado looked like he was saying something too. But I think they were both smiling.
Boom. Five-pitch inning, 6-3 LA through 7.5
Brusdar threw a seven-pitch 8th!
great inning for Graterol
Sorry, six-pitch inning
2-2 count to Cody here. Altavilla pitching for SD.
Cody's getting some contact now...
Third time's the charm Sax
CT3 K. Taylor's 0-for-4 with 2 Ks, and no hits this series.
MLB Network tomorrow? Boo!
Looks like KJ for the ninth.
Alta villa looks like he could throw Kiké out of the park.
Altavilla*
AltaVista
Kike with an eight-pitch AB here
Kiké with a nine-pitch AB but succumbs.
6-3 LA through eight.
Wow Kenley Ks Myers on three pitches
KJ Ks Myers swinging on three pitches
2-2 count to Cronenworth.
full count to Cronenworth
this is a lot of pitches here for Kenley
@Orel 8.55p: late DAMMIT
10-pitch AB here for Cronenworth
Dammit
It's never 1-2-3 with Kenley
I had a feeling that a bad outcome on that AB would fluster Kenley.
Kenley blows the second pitch past Moreland. 1-1 count
Come on, Kenley
Oh no.
Moreland RBI double. One out, 6-4 LA.
Kenley is so bad
FUCK
Getting scary here now.
This is where you take him out
Barnes looked like he barely caught that foul out, but we'll take it. Two out.
Two down
Little bit of a sno-cone there
That was close
That was terrible.
Kenley is a mess. Doc pulls him for Kelly, which is the correct move.
It is getting really hard to ride these games out with Kenley..
Tatis coming up. Holy smokes.
we're doomed
The optimist in me says, if we can get past this game, there is no doubt that Kenley Jansen is no longer fit to be closer.
The realist in me says, it's clear now.
"Nobody throws as hard as Joe Kelly", say the commentators: first pitch knuckle curve, 86 mph
Kelly getting squeezed here. Let's not make him pout
Barnes was good to block that one. 3-2 count
Tatis walks. Two on, here's Machado.
They are not biting on his curveballs.
Oh man. Machado walks. Bases loaded.
Holy shitballs.
I hate Kenley so much
that was not very Machado-esque to take that walk. Hosmer up.
Whew!
I think my heart stopped. Win!
Whew!
WIN...barely.
KELLY! Wow.
WIN
Doc waving to the cardboard fans
Oh man I can't take that. Wow
win but dammit
Jerry Hairston saying "It pains me to say it, but Kenley can't get the ball in the ninth inning right now."
I agree
And unlike Hairston, I'm not wearing a toupee.
Kenley must go
We/ll have a five-run lead tomorrow so he can pitch
Kershaw surprisingly hilarious and sarcastic in the post-game show
