Series Thread (Games 85-88): July 5-8 @ Marlins

Mon 7/5: Buehler vs. Rogers
Tue 7/6: Gonsolin vs. P Lopez
Wed 7/7: Urias vs. TBD
Thu 7/8: Kershaw vs. Alcantara

Fresh off a sweep of the Nationals and streaking to their ninth win in a row, the Dodgers move on for one more foursome in Miami. And even with the administrative leave of Trevor Bauer, the Dodgers keep chugging along and are only a half-game out of first place in the NL West. Which is just amazing, given the injuries we've had, both accidental and self-inflicted.

This is all I've got for this GT, as the whole SoSG offices are shut down for the holiday. Let's go, Blue!

We all need to live right the next four days as Elsa is targeting Florida. To avoid rain outs we need to help little old ladies cross the street, take PJ&B sandwiches to homeless people and as always, restrict our virgin sacrifices to October baseball.

Gnats lost and we are tied in the 8th.

VGon gives up a solo bomb. Damn! Down 4-3 in the 8th.

QuadSevens said...

5-4 is the score actually. The HR felt like we lost a run.

QuadSevens said...

Dodgers lose. That sucked.

1-1 tie, Barnes strands two to end the top of the eighth.

We left 11 on base last night, in a one-run loss. And now we've left another 11 on base through 7.5 frames, again.

QuadSevens said...

Turner hits one off the wall in the ninth. Ends up a long single.

QuadSevens said...

Bellinger walks. Fresh Prince with an RBI chance.

So quiet in the stadium. Feels like covid baseball

QuadSevens said...

Another ugly one run loss. Bleh.

QuadSevens said...

Ugly series stats so far:

Game 1 - 2 for 9 with RISP, 11 LOB, 13 Ks, 2 Errors
Game 2 - 2 for 11 with RISP, 14 LOB, 12 Ks, 1 Error

Let's see if the boys can right the ship tonight.

Home run derby time!!!

QuadSevens said...

6 HRs in this game from both sides. We had a 5-2 lead. Now 5-5 in the eighth and the Fish threatening.

Steve Sax said...

Austin Barnes is horrible. Catchers interference allows the go ahead runner to move into scoring position, and then he steals third because Barnes is horrible. Only one out.

QuadSevens said...

And we’re losing again.

QuadSevens said...

MCKINSTRY!! TIE GAME!!

QuadSevens said...

Walkoff HR to kill us. 9-6 loss.

Breakfast burrito and coffee ready. Let’s do this!

karen said...

Kersh to get a MRI when they get back to LA. Tomorrow is another bullpen day. Someone asked Doc how long he would be handling his pitching like this and he said "As long as it takes".

karen said...

@Dusty...I have been craving a breakfast burrito since you shared!! If my ass gets big I'm blaming you!!!

karen said...

Matt Beaty drives in Urias to put the Champs ahead. 2-1.

Dusty Baker's Toothpick said...

@Karen you're welcome!

karen said...

Dodgers up 6-1 in mid 5.

Steve Sax said...

Why does Lux make so many errors

Steve Sax said...

Sandy Leon of the Marlins: baseball player named for Brawl Stars characters

karen said...

Going to the bottom of the ninth, Dodgers up 6-1.

karen said...

The Dodgers get the win to bring the road trip to 5-3.

Now lets all think of nasty, hateful things about frisco.
