Mon 5.16 7p: Gonsolin vs. Bumgarner Tue 5.17 12p: TBD vs. M Kelly Tue 5.17 7p: T Anderson vs. TBD Wed 5.18 7p: Buehler vs. Davies
The walk-off victory on Sunday afternoon was great, especially given the rally came with two out off the bats of the struggling Cody Bellinger and Gavin Lux. But that doesn't change the fact that the Dodgers lost 5 of 7 against Pennsylvania teams in their last two series, including almost getting swept by the Phillies at home for the first time since 1985.
We were fortunate to prevail on Sunday. We don't really have much of a rotation at this point though, and our bullpen was horrible for three of the four games against Philadelphia. So let's see if we have anything left in the tank for Arizona, since we know how this went last time (hint: it wasn't good).

yo Saxy. this is where i stream the Dodgers and sports in general. there are pop up adds to deal with.
I hope we tag Bumgarner and run him out of this game early. Hate that guy!
🐱 goes 1-2-3 on 11 pitches in the first.
I know Catman's numbers are good. 3-0 and a 1.33 era but I can't help it. He drives me crazy. It's like a constant hire wire act with him.
Lux is a goddamn mess on the field
5 Ks for Catman.
1-0 AZ through 3 frames. We are not putting up much of a fight.
Freeman gets a leadoff single in the bottom of the fourth!
C'mon Max. Take this bastard out of the park.
And we get two on, with none out, and we can't score. Pathetic.
MOOKIE!!!
Boys kicking some MadBum arse.
CT3 backed up Mookie perfectly there.
Dodgers lead 3-2. B6
Muncy gets aboard with a bunt single to leadoff the bottom of the sixth!
THAT is how you beat the shift, ladies and gentlemen.
CT3 HR!!!
Two-run HR makes it 5-2 LA
MadBum can only lose or have nothing to do with it.
Dodgers are successful early tonight.
I just hate that guy.
@spank 6.04p: thanks, my friend!
Lux with a nice single to left-center. Really good AB, and sweet swing.
One out. Here's Mookie.
Mookie grounds out, Lux takes second. Two out for Freddie
Freeman was ahead 3-0 and the Snakes IBB him.
So here's Trea.
Turner caught looking for the third out.
5-2 LA through six
Hey, it's Caleb Ferguson! Welcome back Caleb! (TJ surgery in 2020)
Ferguson is missing quite a few upstairs so far.
Perdomo not only Ks, he falls over doing so! Wow
Good job Caleb!!!
Welcome back!
Ferguson has a scoreless T7. Way to go, Caleb!
Slappy works a leadoff walk.
Earlier when they were talking about Caleb coming back tonight after the TJ surgery they said that Dustin May was coming back in about 2 months. Doesn't that seem pretty fast for that surgery?
Two on, but a MIGHTY cut by Muncy leads to a K for the first out.
@karen: I don't expect May back until very late in the season.
CT3 almost GIDPs but beats the throw to first. Men at the corners, two out. Barnes up.
Barnes swings at the first pitch and flies to very shallow center. Not a good AB, Austin.
5-2 LA through 7
Joe Davis is starting to do some lip reading ala Mr. Scully.
@Sax....Yeah, I was thinking late this season or maybe even the beginning of 2023. Ferguson took 20 months to come back and I think May has only been out about 13 months.
Kimbrel gives up a two-run HR to right. It's 5-4 LA, one out in the top of the ninth.
I thought that was going go a lot farther then it did. Looked like he crushed it.
@Sax...Yeah, I thought the end of this year or maybe even the beginning of 2023. Ferguson took 20 months to come back and I think May has only been out about 13 months.
WIN
Big day-night double-header tomorrow. I have that work thing, so not sure how much I can be on for the day game. Hold down the fort, guys!
(guys AND gals!)
Nice

Alberto 2B
Pepiot RHP
Clayton was scheduled to throw a bullpen session tomorrow which Doc says is highly unlikely at this point. Even with the epidural he is still having pain.
Pepiot is my new favorite Dodgers pitcher. Look at them stirrup socks!
My boy gets out of a two on, no out jam. Good job Frenchy.
Shit. Pepiot gives up a two run homerun. 3-0 Dbags
@Spanky.....I just got back from taking Jenn to get her free Jumbo Jack for lunch. How did the douche bags get 3 runs??
@ Karen - there was a run scoring single followed by a 2 run homer.
Man. I want free jumbo jacks. I'm in no mans land over here. Not even for Padres free burgers.
MOOKIE TIES IT UP AT 3-3 IN B6!!!
Mookie!
@Spanky....Check with your Jack in the Box. We just found out that ours is honoring the 10 K promo and you know we live in BF Egypt.
Oh shit. Trea!
@ Karen - nah. It's a no go. Tried before with Padres and Chargers promos.
JT piles on with a 2 run shot 6-2 B6
Fuck me. JT with a two run smash. 6-3 LA
Sorry...6-3 B6.
Alberto having a tough day at the office. 6-5 LA T7 tying run 90 ft away.
Alonso pulled a Lux on that grounder. 6-5
Dodgers win the first of the doubleheader 7-6.
9th inning more difficult than needed to be. 7-6 final. LA

Anderson LHP
David Price activated. Shane Greene DFA'd
Kimbrel sure has made his last two appearances a tightrope, hasn't he? Reminds me of Kenley...
@karen, thank you for posting the lineups!
It seems like we are starting our games behind an awful lot these days.
2-2 tie before the seats are warm.
Damn. Homeruns? I'm watching the basketball game
Holy cow it's 2-2 and the first inning hasn't even finished yet
okay now it's over. 2-2 through 1
@ Karen- I think the Dodgers have been behind early every game since the pirates series
Mr. Anderson gives up two solo two-out HRs, and three hits, in the first. Yikes
That's a better second inning from Mr. Anderson.
2-2 through 1.5
Great at bat by Belli
Lux comes through. 4-2
Fuck yeah! Rios bomb
8-2 Boys after 1.2 innings. I know when we're bad we're really bad but when this team plays to their capabilities it's almost embarrassing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
BOOM DODGERS!
Rios with the three-run HR. Wow. Let's put up a crooked number tonight!
Max with a leadoff double in the third
@karen: totally agree. When we decide we want to bat, it's a freight train that can't be stopped.
8-2 LA through 2.5.
Max somehow sneaks his way to third, on a Cody shallow fly out, complemented by a throwing error by the Snakes.
One out.
So no Slappy in this game. Hmm.
Barnes walks; Lux Ks; so now it's Mookie up with men at first and third, two out.
Betts Ks.
8-2 LA through 3
CT3 Ks for the first out in B5, and it wasn't pretty.
Muncy with an end-of-the-bat fly out to left. Two gone
Gotta say, I like Nomar on the color commentary. He pairs well with Joe Davis. I enjoy the banter. I like Nomar.
That GIDP was awfully purdy.
Lux with a great turn on that inning-ending double play! In fact, it was good all around: Max's shuffle throw to Gavin; Gavin's turn; and Freddie's stretch for the out at first. Wow
(ha, karen just said everything i did, in fewer words!)
Barnes and Lux with leadoff singles in the sixth. Here's Mookie!
Mookie walk
Mookie walk
Mookie walk
Mookie walk
Kirsten Watson, 30 games in, can't pronounce "Yaamava"
Here's Freddie, with the bases juiced and none out.
Ground rule double for Freddie? That one had to have bounced right on the line
Nope, totally fair ball. Not sure why that AZ left fielder didn't get to that one
10-2 LA. Trea up, two RISP
I have no idea how Trea reached there. Ground ball to short, but the throw was high, so it pulled the AZ 1B off the base and Trea reaches. E-6, RBI by Trea.
Hanser Alberto PR for Turner (what?????)
Oh, it's 11-2 LA. Ties most runs scored this year
Most runs scored last year: 22
Rios goes down on strikes for the first out.
Mr. Anderson is still throwing, with two out in the seventh!
Anderson finishes 7 innings, 7 Ks 0 BB, 2 HR, 2 ER. Nice outing, Tyler!
Barnes promptly GIDPs on the first damn pitch in the eighth. What the hell, Austin. Use your damn head
11-2 through 8 full
GIDP in the top of the ninth saves Bickford a bit. Snake on third with two out.
^whoops, it's top 8. Not top 9.
I've been thinking one inning ahead for four comments here. Sorry about that
^ Barnes promptly GIDPs on the first pitch in the SEVENTH. What the hell, Austin? Use your damn head
^ 11-2 through 7 full.
^ GIDP in the top of the EIGHTH saves Bickford a bit.
...and, Bickford gets a called strike three for the third out.
Freeman with another double!
12-2 LA! Mookie was flying.
New high for the 2022 Dodgers in runs scored
CT3 is 0-for-4 tonight. He's up with Freeman on second and two out.
Taylor ends the night 0-for-5. Ugh
Hanser Alberto...is pitching?
Hanser Alberto takes the mound for the ninth. LA up 12-2.
Hanser gets a fly out to left. One out.
@karen! I thought you were asleep!
I love it when position players come in to pitch!
Alberto yields a base hit to Perdomo. One out.
@Sax....I gotta be honest....I'm reading a really good book. One of those 'You just can't put down' books!!
Base hit. First and third for the Snakes, one out.
Could have been a GIDP, but couldn't turn it so a run crosses the plate. 12-3 LA
Win!!!
Alberto gets the third out!
12-3 WIN
Good night everybody, see you tomorrow! 1p start time
@SAX...I gotta be honest....I'm reading really good book!!
Now it's time for Seinfeld and then sleep!!

Buehler RHP
Kershaw will not travel on the road trip. I'm getting the feeling that this might be a bigger deal then was originally thought.
I'm guilty. I knocked out during game 2 last night.
I'm not expecting Kershaw back til June
Buehler not impressing me.
3 run blast for JT puts the Dodgers in front 4-2 B4.
Justin Turner!!!
JT!
Going to the fifth 5-2 LA
Not good. Sack up Buehler
Walker on the ropes again. Bases loaded, no outs.
Oh man he got out of it!!!
Clayton got an epidural on Sunday. That is what women get when they are in the blood curdling screaming late phases of labor. Makes me wonder how badly he is hurt.
Giants lose in Denver
Glad to see we put the hurt on cheating wife-ghoster Davies. F that guy too! Dodgers up 5-2 in the sixth.
Bazooka in for the 7th and just winging some 101 mph fastballs. No biggie.
Bazooka giving up some singles, now 5-3 Dodgers.
For a pitcher who throws 101mph,Graterol gets into a bunch of messes.
Bazooka destroys a bat for the second out. Price coming in now.
Three pitch strikeout for Price. Love to see it!
Price with a nice 1-2-3 8th inning.
Price looked good.
Going to the ninth. 5-3 Dodgers. Hudson coming in.
That's a wrap.
WIN
BIG WIN AND A BIGGER SWEEP!!! Off day tomorrow. See y'all in Philly on Friday!
SWEEP
We make party!
