Thu 4.14 7p: Buehler vs. Sanmartin
The Reds are 2-4 in this short season, but worse than that, their team president and COO is in a spat with Reds fans telling them that their pared-down roster is justified and "to be careful what you wish for" with regards to fans' requests to sell the team. Yeah, that's endearing.
But we've got problems of our own here in Dodgertown. Julio Urias and his 13.50 ERA looked lost in his first start. Max Muncy and "Slappy" Will Smith are each batting below .200.
Oh, and for all of you trying to support the Dodgers on this first homestand: greedy Frank McCourt raised parking from $20 to $25 per game.
At least we have Jackie Robinson Day on Friday April 15:
Sax and Orel will be there Sunday, so give a shout out if you're going to this first series!

Since December, some owners (and McCourt) have been showing how hateable they really are. Sucks for the Reds fans.

Lux riding the pine. Leads the team in RBIs and average. Bold strategy!
Hanser Alberto gets the start for the home opener. That's a weird one.
Eric Gagne is one of the former Dodgers taking part in tonight's festivities.
Our SoSG stringer reporter is at the game and sending me photos and videos. She's spotted Eric Gagne, Adrian Gonzalez, Adrian Beltre, Wes Parker, Rick Monday, and Fernando Valenzuela so far.
@Padres up 5-0 on the Braves, B5
@Rox down 3-0 to the Cubs, B4
Adrian Beltre. Nice
Original Recipe Orel in the booth. YAY!!!
I would have never recognized Gagne without his jersey.
3 up and 3 down on 11 pitches for Walker
Good inning by Buehler
Bats are hot
Boys spanking the Reds in the first. 2-0 LA.
Damn. 2-0 Dodgers. Singles galore.
Keep it coming Dodgers!!!
Mound visit with one out in the first. Love it.
Reds already warming up in the pen
Reds shortstop couldn't decide how to catch that grounder. 3-0
Five straight hits for the Dodgers. It’s 3-0 with Muncy on third on the Slappy single!
The Fresh Prince SLAPS a single to bring in TT. 3-0.
@spank: that reds SS is former Dodger Kyle Farmer!
@karen: Slappy!!!
Buehler living on the edge
@ karen. Cool. I did not know that.
Buehler escapes a bases-loaded jam in the top of the second
And Bellinger with a leadoff single to start B2?!?!
@spank: I’m not karen 😜
Charley Steiner is likening Hanser Alberto’s build to Juan Uribe.
That’s not complimentary, btw
Come on, Mookie.
Two GIDPs for the Dodgers through two innings.
LA 3-0
Oh shit. I think I need glasses
@Sax....Are you getting the radio broadcast again??
Can you imagine being a T-ball manager and having Charlie Kershaw and Charlie Freeman on your team??
Chill game. Still 3-0
Ok I'm back. Had to eat dinner. Veggie burgers grilled at home, not bad.
CT3 and Alberto, the only Dodgers without a hit so far.
Can't believe it's still only 3-0 LA, and we're now in the top of the sixth.
How did Reds 2B Jonathan India get injured? It says injured leg.
Dammit
India hurt his leg running to first base on an infield hit.
Oh shit. Buehler had Aquino 2-2 with two outs and serves up a two-run HR. It's now 3-2 LA, and Price is in to relieve Buehler.
@spank 8.52p thanks
Dodgers get out of the top of the sixth, lead 3-2.
Dodgers got 5 hits in the first, and then only two hits in the next four frames.
My god it's a tie game. What the fuck.
We're at the stretch. Better pull this one out, Blue!
CT3 gets in on the hit parade, with a one-out single to left.
2 on one out
Crap...I fell asleep. How did Cincy tie it?
Lux and Betts K to end the threat. Not good.

JT walk. First and second, none out. Here's Muncy
Wild pitch, both runners advance. Muncy still up
WOW! Max turned on that one but then K's.
f'ing Charley just botched that foul ball call from muncy, calling it like a HR at the start. come on, man
Slappy goes yard!! 7-3 Boys!
