Sat 4.16 7p: Urias vs. Greene Sun 4.17 1p: Heaney vs. Mahle
Okay, I know I'm all over the place with these Game Threads for this Opening Series. Sorry about that! I am finding it more fun to be posting content (and for this homestand, I surprisingly have a bit more time to spend writing it), so I'm going to break this opening series thread up into multiple posts. I don't think this pace is sustainable, but who the heck knows.
Speaking of unsustainable paces, the Dodgers have now won four in a row and seem to be rolling. Even when the Dodgers can't string enough hits at opportune times--the Dodgers were 2-for-11 on Friday night, with 9 LOB--they still score enough to earn the win. It was heartening that the Dodgers scored in three of their eight frames on Friday, as the Dodgers had scored in three or more innings in only one other game this year. Yeah, I'd love for us to put more than a fencepost on the board each frame, but on Friday, those three fenceposts held up for a victory Friday,
So we've got two more games against the Reds this series, after winning the first two games. Let's go, Dodgers.
As mentioned in the original series thread, Sax and Orel will be there at the Stadium on Sunday, so give a shout out if you will be there, and maybe we can all grab a beer or twelve.
