Mon 4/25 6.40p: Buehler (1-1, 4.02) vs. Kelly (1-0, 0.59) Tue 4/26 6.40p: Gonsolin (1-0, 0.69) vs. Davies (1-1, 5.02) Wed 4/27 12.40p: Urias (1-1, 3.00) vs. Gallen (0-0. 1.00)
Snakes in the desert, never a good sign. And the Diamondbacks are 6-10 this season but they're throwing two starters with pretty good ERAs against us this series. We do miss the opportunity to reunite with former Giants curmudgeon and current D'backs starter Madison Bumgarner, though, as he took the start Sunday in a losing effort to the Mets. The Diamondbacks' effort in tha Mets series, in which Arizona lost two of three, was called "sloppy".
Meanwhile, the Dodgers are serving up their 1-2-3 in their starting rotation, even if two of them don't have ERAs you'd expect given the small sample sizes. It's an observation that LAT columnist Dylan Hernandez also made in today's column, set to the tune of an 1980's Howard Jones song. Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh ohh-ohh.
So ahead of this series: do you feel scared? Well, I do. But I won't stop and falter.

I'm a little scared cause who knows which Dodger team is going to show up. BUT I am always happy to see negative shit happening to Madbum.
Mrs. Quad and I couldn't help but sing along to that song!

@Quad7: Thank you for posting the lineup today!
Giants down 1-0 @Milwaukee, B4. Kapler going with a bullpen game; Corbin Burnes on the hill for the Brewers.
The Brewers' lineup doesn't have anyone batting over .263. Yikes.
No problem Sax!
Burnes lasts 6.2 IP, two hits, 0 ER. He gave up that second hit with two out (a single), and he was yanked.
Brewers escape.
Brewers have challenged two plays and both have been overturned calls going Milwaukee's way.
1-0 MIL, mid-7.
Two-out double by Casali in the top of the 8th. And here's Joc, with one on.
Belli named NL Player of the Week today. The boys on his way back!!!
And Joc indeed homers. 2-1 Giants. Unbelievable.
@Sax...I think Joc also had a 2 homerun game over the weekend. :(
Adames HR! Brewers tie it up in the bottom of the eighth!
Pederson is batting leadoff for the Giants, and is batting .362. It's crazy.
Andre Jackson up McKinstry down today.
Giants go back in front 4-2 in the ninth. Dammit.
Brewers choke this one away. booooooooo
Okay, time to refocus on the DODGERS
I'm still on conference calls. I'm going to try and keep an eye on mlb.com GameDay as well
6-pitch, battling leadoff walk for Mookie!
TT brings in Mookie and Freddie. 2-0 LA
Wow that was fast.
Freeman doubles on the first pitch, Mookie to third.
Trea Turner doubles on the second pitch, two runs score!
Nine pitches in, we're up 2-0 with none out
How the fuck did JT ground into a double play? With Trea on second?!
GameDay is so brutal. I have no idea how that played out but it looks stupid.
Muncy has to start hitting, too.
@Sax...Trea got tagged trying to advance to third JT was out at first.
Snakes go 1-2-3 in the first.
2-0 LA
Dammit, Mookie gets the third out with men at the corners.
2-0 LA through 1.5
Christian Walker at bat, Walker Buehler pitching.
We just need Buehler Christian catching to make this a full loop.
Jeez. Muncy had a 3-0 count and worked it all the way back to a K. Come on, Max!
After 4 Dodgers lead 2-0.
Oh no, who is injured
Max comes through! 3-0 LA off the RBI double
Max doubles in Mookie. 3-0 T5.
@Sax....Marte and Smith collide going for pop fly. Marte was slow getting up but is okay.
back from a late dinner.
LA 3-0 through 7. Buehler is dealing: 7.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 8 Ks. Wow.
@karen 8.05p: thank you!
Also, glad to hear Marte and Smith are both ok.
J Turne: 0-for-4 today with a K. Now batting .203.
Belli (0-for-3) is the only other Dodger without a hit
Whoop whoop Slappy!
Will Smith HR! 4-0 LA
4-0 LA, mid-8
Buehler is only at 87 pitches, so he's back out for the eighth. Hmm. Hope he's on a short leash; we need him this year.
Carson Kelly Ks for Buehler's 9th K.
Buehler is the first Dodger starter to get into the eighth inning this year.
10th K: Cooper Hummel.
JUMBO JACK!!!
Jordan Luplow flies to center.
End of the eighth and Buehler has sat down the last 13 Diamondbacks. Wow. 98 pitches.
Lux Ks. One out
What, they're sending Buehler out for the ninth?!
Butane coming back out for the ninth!!
Buehler gets two quick outs, but Peralta singles.
Buehler is at 105 pitches. What is Doc doing?!
WIN
Walker Buehler gets the CG shutout. WOW!!!
108 pitches total. Congrats to Walker, but sure hope he isn't gassed.
Apparently this is Walker's first ever CG SHO.
Before we get too excited: Dodgers were 3-for-13 with RISP. Team LOB: 7.
Joe said that this is the first shutout in Walker's career. Is that right??
Nice. Someone finally completed a game.
Game 1 PGT up!
@Sax Cooper Hummel and Jordan Luplow sound like completely fake names. Had to check the D-Backs roster to make sure you weren't pulling a fast one on us.

Thanks Quad for today’s lineup!
@7777: I put Cooper Hummel and Jordan Luplow in the random Diamondbacks name generator! Totally
It was good to see Dustin May pitching a bullpen session.
Bases juiced
Slappy clears the bases on a bases loaded double. 3-0 Blue.
Dayum. Will smith knocked them all in with a double
Sloppy doing damage as they compare him to Piazza. Love it!
Crazy that Slappy and Piazza hit their 50 homeruns in the same amount of games.
I read today that David Price tested positive for Covid and that's why he's on the IL.
dammit, freddie gidp with two on.
3-0, mid-2
Slappy*
My typing is sloppy though.
Aye pendejo. Horrible throw by Lux.
3-2
Shit. Tied
What happened?? I wander on over to check out Big Bang Theory for maybe 5 minutes and the Snakes have tied up the score???
@ Karen - there was a walk and an error and a single in the inning somewhere. Dbags kept scoring every time I looked at the tv. I'm sidetracked.
Wow I finish dinner and it’s tied.
Thanks a lot, Gavin.
So who is to blame for this tie game?
Sax for eating dinner?
Or Karen for watching Big Bang theory?
Or (c) all of the above?!
@Sax...(c)
We HAVE to get Justin Turner out of the lineup, and definitely out of the four-spot. It’s embarrassing. Enough.
@Spanky...8:05....Thanks!! It's kinda clear as mud now!!
Justin Turner’s OPS is .472.
It looks like there are a lot more Blue fans than Snake fans at Dodger Stadium East tonight.
Bellinger almost got one. But it’s a fly out.
One-out single for CT3
Hanser Alberto in for Gavin Lux. So Lux doesn’t have a chance to redeem himself tonight.
@karen 8:26p: nah I own this one. I’m listening now.
…but it’s almost time for dessert :)
Alberto with a PH single! Still one out.
Let’s go 🐄🔑🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Fuck
Damn Mookie needed a hit there.
CT3 again thrown out on the bases. What the hell, CT3? Mookie fly out and they double him off.
I think CT3 had a brain fart there.
I love the way Vesia gets pumped and celebrates.
Its funny the differences of luck between a hot hitter and cold hitter
Bases juiced again. Get some runs
Wasn't there some sort of dust up with Ian Kennedy in the not so distant past??
Fifth GDIP for Snakes.
Fuck
100
Wasn't there some sort of dust up with Ian Kennedy and the Dodgers in the past??
My god. Five DPs and four GIDPs. Change this fucking lineup already
SHIT!!!
Dammit
Peralta killed that ball. 5-3 Dbags
Wasn't there some sort of dust up with Ian Kennedy and the Dodgers in the past??
We deserve this loss.
A day late and a dollar short Bazooka.
Let's turn the page on this one.
Goodnight!
Ugh.
I'm drinking now.
GAME 3 4/27

Muncy 3B
Bellinger CF
Taylor LF
Rios DH
Lux 2B
Barnes C
Urias P
Justin Turner gets a day off. Thank the gods.
Down in order in the first. Urias to the mound.
Bats are still asleep in the second. Muncy walked, but nothing else.
Urias through two innings in only 26 pitches. Nice!
Mookie gets the first hit but we strand him.
Freeman battles the sun and drops an infield pop up but the next batter grounds into a double play! We'll take it!
Through four innings and not much offense for either side. Time for our bats to wake up!
Nick Ahmed, aka Dodger Killer, breaks up the no hitter with a solo bomb.
Trea with a two out double in the top of the sixth! Let's bring him in!
Muncy works a walk. Two on for Belli.
Damn! Cody down swinging. 1-0 Snakes going to the bottom of the sixth.
Julio through six in 80 pitches. Still 1-0 Rattlers. We need some hits!
Gallen is out. CT3 hits one to deep center for a long out.
That's probably gone at Dodger Stadium.
Lux and Rios combine for a strike 'em out, throw 'em out double play to end the top half of the seventh.
Trea with the game tieing RBI. Sweet!
We give up 2 runs in the 8th and lose. Crappy. Series lost.
Damn. Dodgers have to win these series against what are basically minor league teams.
